> What isn’t there is the basis of your religion?

G-d revealed Himself to the entire nation of Israel, at least three million people, at Mount Sinai in 1312 B.C.E. That is the basis of my religion.

“Counting” the posts took about four seconds, with “find.” I wasn’t neurotically hunched over the computer for hours.

The daily pollution of FR with the pus of hate from deep within some people’s souls gets on my nerves.

WAY out of hecking line, dude.

Maybe you ought to take a step back and take some deep breaths.

Thanks for your explanation of PTCBIH, and referring me to your post #339 which explained it.

You make a complete case, given your premises; that is, of Sola Scriptura.

That is one of several biggie differences between the Catholics and the Protties.

Part of this difference is that the Catholics all along insisted on hewing to the teachings and history of the Church; the Protestants, as far as I can tell, jumped ship so hard over indulgences, that they decided it was less risky to throw out ALL traditions and reports of visions or visitations, and much of the accrued practices and devotional artwork, in addition to the formalism and (for a time) administrative overhead.

Now, you are misunderstanding me. God can use any number of different things for His purposes. All I am trying to tell you, is don’t get into necromancy dude. Don’t do it. It opens you up to demonic stuff. You are talking about 10 different things. I am talking about one thing. Necromancy.

I can tell that you are in earnest; I do not doubt your good intentions; but I am persuaded, that asking a fellow believer to pray for you, especially (ahem) a *saint*, is not going to open you to demonic influence.

I ask my friends to pray for me, but none who are dead. They cannot hear me.
With that, I am done. Now, I will go pray to Jesus and enjoy my total, complete assurance of salvation. It’s a beautiful thing. 😀😁😂🇵🇭 Everyone should enjoy that. 😇

It was merely a response to the prots’ attacks on the Blessed Mother.

Rome's fantastic 'Blessed Mother' is NOT the woman who birthed Jesus.

She is a made up concoction of super human abilities.

Once a Catholic; ALWAYS a Catholic.

So who *else* is it who’s supposed to be so great a cloud of witnesses, watching

The text doesn't say; does it?

But the previous chapter might have a bit of a clue who the 'witnesses' are.

Star Trek and Jesus are simply not done.

I don't know; the Borg and Rome seem to have a LOT in common...

Does this mocking that you do have some benefit to you?

Dressed as the word of Yehova demands that his male servants dress!

All that is needed for salvation, and pleasing to Yehova was declared by Moses in Deuteronomy.

Well; if a person clings to that, it's no WONDER they toss away John 6:28-29.

If he finds that he acted wrongly, then he should change his ways and conduct, and he should accept upon himself that henceforth he will act in the correct way, and he will stop...

But what if he does it again?

And again??

...and again???


Just how patient IS God?

No!

If he(?) is not around; how will we remember to pray for him?

...and reports of visions or visitations,...

Rome; herself; 'throws out' most of them!
