The “Camp” version of Casino Royale 1967. Drop dead hilarious.

[Resettozero]

One that's over the target, catching flak.

Or, at a really outstanding gathering of partying Catholics...

...catching flasks.

[Mark17]

If the ‘eucharist’ is eaten for eternal life, why the repetition?
Does it wear off?
If so, why does it wear off?
If it wears off, does one know when it has worn off?
One time doesn’t have the power to get the job done?

Excellent questions Z. 😇 I had never thought of it quite like that, but excellent questions. Don't hold your breath waiting for answers. I doubt you will get any, because there aren't any answers to it. Keep up the good work.

My router went down and a new one will arrive tomorrow, so until then I can only be on here a few minutes. But I do want to respond to your points, so please don’t think the devil has chased me to hell just yet!

Ummm actually it would be the Holy Spirit

[Resettozero]

Well, your post 385 settles it all.

Fini.

Somebody take out the trash and turn off the lights when you’re all through.

The greatest heresies:

Roman Catholicism

[RnMomof7]

Good grief woman, what the hell did you expect the priest to say....she was a sinner and drank too much and was probably in HELL???????????If you believe in OSAS...then she was SAVED and in Heaven.....everyone in Heaven is a Saint.......therefore you can ask her....as a saint....to pray for you.........she is in Heaven and you still have a long way to go.

OSAS is for those that are saved not the unsaved..

hey what happened to that Roman half way stop over ...where the drinking and the blasphemy would be burned off?? Do people in purgatory hear and answer prayer ???

[Mark17]

Lu-THOR

Lex Lu-THOR??

[RnMomof7]

No, that was the porcelain convenience...that was when you were having so much fun sinning and thinking that weekly confession would absolve you......it wouldn't....and didn't

Kneeling before the toilet does the soul as much good as kneeling before a cracker in a golden monstrance

[Cronos]

you are incorrect as by definition a heresy is one that is opinion or doctrine at variance with the orthodox or accepted doctrine

Hence the greatest heresy is Arianism

Arianism

Arianism threatened to crush out orthodoxy -- that is a powerful heresy

[Resettozero]

Hence the greatest heresy is Arianism.

What is unclear as yet is just which FReeper is pushing Arianism on this forum?

Or is it just in order for one FReeper to have something to say or just to draw an ugly diagram?

[Cronos]

The Visigoths for instance

In the early centuries after Jesus, for instance, the very questions What does it mean to be a follower of Christ, and what is such a person supposed to believe? were completely unsettled. If Jesus was the Son of God, what exactly does that mean? Did the Father create the Son as a creature something less than fully God, or is the Son substantially equal with the Father? The Arians believed the former, while orthodoxy clung to the latter

Arianism holds to deny that in any true sense God could have a Son; as Mohammed tersely said afterwards, "God neither begets, nor is He begotten" -- so you can see that the heresy of Arius led to Islam as well as to the Jehovah's Witnesses. Hence THAT is the greatest heresy against orthodoxy

[af_vet_1981]

These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
