Nice rant you’ve given there.
But you’re not arguing against me, you’re arguing against the Word of God.
“10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. 11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty.”
So yeah, stealing a pen makes you just as guilty before God as murdering someone.
You’re not arguing against me; you’re arguing against God.
And all the ‘I hate Protestants with a hot hot hate’ ranting on FR won’t change that, vlad.
That's a difficult concept for Roman Catholics to understand. They seem to focus on just the "biggie" sins...and then only if they actually do them. They forget the thought aspect of sin.
One sin....I'd even say, the mere thought of stealing the pen, would be sufficient to deny you Heaven if you were trying to keep the Law.
Are there different consequences here on earth? Yes. You probably won't go to jail for stealing a pen from work.
However, you could be fired.
No, actually you’re arguing against the Word of God - and common sense.
Catholics here have to argue against ignorance and watch their posts get deleted when they post historical facts.
