4.) The Sacraments are Biblical- The Apostles were given the power to ‘forgive sins’ in John 20:23, Peter taught in I Peter 3:21 that ‘baptism now saves you’, ‘anointing the sick with oil was shown in James 5:14-15, laying on of hands in Acts 8:17 and 2 Timothy 1:6, marriage in the Lord in I Corinthians 7:39 and Jesus stated numerous times that the disciples should participate in the breaking of bread (Eucharist) by stating ‘he who eats my flesh has eternal life’.

Was Cornelius saved before or after he was baptized?

Those individuals who repented at Pentecost….saved before or after baptism?

We’ve about beat John 6 to death explaining it is not a literal meaning to “eat the bread and drink the blood”.

If so, how many blind and lame catholics do we see when Jesus gave the command to gouge out the eye and cut off the hand if they cause you to sin? Why aren’t they doing that? To date, no catholic has answered.

It’s hard to type with just one hand and one eye, but i will try...

Every church is a construct of man with flaws and faults compounded by politics and personal agendas. One’s relationship with God is truly personal, and the church one belongs to, might depend on a blind and mute faith, but God, the True God, remains stalwart and steadfast.

These are interesting times, when people of christian faith should not be bickering or positioning to be the last eaten by the crocodile.

Bless us, everyone, and may God have mercy on our souls.
