"Catholics Will Have to Decide Whether They Guard the Faith Over Papolatry"
Gloria TV ^ | July 17, 2017 | Gloria TV

Posted on 07/17/2017 8:08:32 AM PDT by ebb tide

“Francis is more interested in leftwing politics than in Catholic theology”, George Neumayr, contributing editor of The American Spectator, states talking to Tom Woods on July 14th on tomwoods.com. Woods describes Francis as a result of John Paul II who - as he puts it - appointed "absolutely terrible people" as bishops: "Catholics have suffered under Bergoglios for decades now”.

Neumayr agrees that a lot of the liberal bishops were appointed by John Paul II and Benedict XVI. He sees Francis as the “culmination of a century” of liberalism and modernism in the Church.

For him it is "highly unlikely" that Francis, who in his theology is “more a Protestant than a Catholic” will convert to Catholicism. Instead, the realistic scenario is that Francis will produce division and chaos, "Catholics will have to decide whether they guard the faith over papolatry.”

And: “The Cardinals have to declare that Francis is a bad pope who must be resisted.”

All I have seen from you, and boatbums, has been the adversary’s rage directed at the plain word of Yehova, and anyone willing to defend it from the inherited lies of the “grace does it all” club.

Perhaps you could develop a message of your own, rather than parroting that of the adversary?

He has over half of the “Christian” world screaming his lies on TV; we don’t need it here too.

Frankly, I’ve seen mormons refuse to answer plain questions too.

More confirmation, though not needed. Cults a cult.

Attacks by name always come from the adversary, and are aimed at those doing the most damage to his false gospel.

Attacks by name reveal the wolves in sheep's clothing to the wolf can't prey on the sheep any more cause he's been exposed.

And yet the Apostle Paul names names when he points out their heresy or wrongful actions! Are you ES calling him the adversary???

The false gospel is coming from all those who deny the deity of Jesus Christ, the deity of the Holy Spirit, the triune nature of Almighty God, the preservation and reliability of the word of God, the truth of the gospel which is we are saved by grace through faith and not of ourselves and the assurance of salvation that is given to those who believe on the name of the Son of God.

The only one doing any raging here is YOU, ES. I can imagine you stomping your feet and clenching your jaw every time you type out a nonresponse.

You just go right ahead and try to be justified by keeping the law. The Holy Spirit has a message for you:

    Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. (Galatians 5:4-6)

I can imagine pulling of the beard and tassels on fake 1st century garments.

No actual answers to questions though...

His platitudes increase in magnitude and amplitude but show no gratitude for a soul renewed. He needs to spend some quietude so he can be rescued before he is barbequed. ;o)

bb, that was good, but I don’t think I’ve EVER seen anything to compare to Luircin’s little creation there.

While it’s not a haiku, he just set the bar really, really high.

When we're composing a Limerick or two
The rhymes always come out of the blue
Just read the lines
Of our little gold mines
In Christian love, it's all done for you.

😇🙏

The

DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS

OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

SECTION 71

Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon, at Hiram, Ohio, December 1, 1831. HC 1: 238–239. The Prophet had continued to translate the Bible with Sidney Rigdon as his scribe until this revelation was received, at which time it was temporarily laid aside so as to enable them to fulfill the instruction given herein. The brethren were to go forth to preach in order to allay the unfriendly feelings that had developed against the Church as a result of the publication of some newspaper articles by Ezra Booth, who had apostatized.

1–4, Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon are sent forth to proclaim the gospel; 5–11, Enemies of the saints shall be confounded.

1 Behold, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, that the time has verily come that it is necessary and expedient in me that you should open your mouths in proclaiming my gospel, the things of the kingdom, expounding the mysteries thereof out of the scriptures, according to that portion of Spirit and power which shall be given unto you, even as I will.

2 Verily I say unto you, proclaim unto the world in the regions round about, and in the church also, for the space of a season, even until it shall be made known unto you.

3 Verily this is a mission for a season, which I give unto you.

4 Wherefore, labor ye in my vineyard. Call upon the inhabitants of the earth, and bear record, and prepare the way for the commandments and revelations which are to come.

5 Now, behold this is wisdom; whoso readeth, let him understand and receive also;

6 For unto him that receiveth it shall be given more abundantly, even power.

7 Wherefore, confound your enemies; call upon them to meet you both in public and in private; and inasmuch as ye are faithful their shame shall be made manifest.

8 Wherefore, let them bring forth their strong reasons against the Lord.

9 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you—there is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper;

10 And if any man lift his voice against you he shall be confounded in mine own due time.

11 Wherefore, keep my commandments; they are true and faithful. Even so. Amen.

With imperial air;

One really must be so wary,
when creating some faux-literary.
If lines only rhyme,
just some of the time;
it’s likely output from some Tom, Dick, or Harry!

>> “For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law” <<

Truly, but they are not of different times.

Paul was speaking to out of covenant Hebrews of the dispersion in Italy.

There is absolutely nothing in any part of the Word of Yehova that provides for any other path to the righteousness required for entry to the wedding feast than that which was provided to All of Adam's seed: Torah.

Grace is not in itself a source of righteousness. It is merely the available forgiveness for confessed, repented sins offered only to those that seek righteousness in his Torah.

That is precisely what Paul was presenting in Romans 2.

Romans 2:

[13] (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
[14] For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
[15] Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another

As Yeshua told his disciples: “He that endures to the end, the same shall be saved.”

I find interesting the parts of the word that you carefully omit when you post your tiny sound bites!

Those are the parts of the word that demolish the Grace Lie completely

Yes, we are well aware of your wild imagination, but reality is 180 degrees opposed to your fantasies.

The “law” Paul spoke of in Galatians 5 was the false law that Yeshua demolished in his ministry: The Takanot and Ma’Assim of the Pharisees.

An understanding of Phariseeism is an absolute necessity in understanding Paul’s letters. It was from the burden of that same Phariseeism from which he personally had escaped on the Damascus road that he was so intent on disabusing his Hebrew cousins.

It needs to be noted that the Pharisees never evangelized any gentiles but the Hebrew dispersion. They were quite bigoted in that regard.

They never tried to circumcise any Greeks or Celucid Turks, so when circumcision is mentioned, the congregation is obviously genetic Hebrew, and the “law” involved was of their own invention.

This is something that anyone can learn to look for in their reading, and thus gather a greater understanding.

YMMV!

Yes! You have ‘fake’ down to perfection!

You’re obviously well suited to it.

I suppose that may be why you seem so enamored to the ‘fakeness’ of the Grace Lie?
