Jesus is the Life Preserver. Mary is the Rope He Chose To Reel Us In.

They can’t.

The contradictions aboud in Catholicism.

They take up both sides of the issue, which makes it convenient for them, cause whatever a non-Catholics says, they can declare *You’re wrong!*, *You’re ignorant about Catholicism*, *Don’t tell us what we believe.*

Very convenient and we’ve seen it time and again.

[Elsie]

I can't help what you imagine.

True; but it appears you cannot even help yourself from ignoring Jesus' plain command:

Call no man father.

[Elsie]

That’s why I had to unlearn all my cult speak words.

How can one be Master like that?

[Elsie]

Now you're making things up.

I re-posted your reply.

Your obtuseness is plain for all to see.

[Elsie]

You seem to be bold enough to state your opinion about what things are or not; but then what has ROME called them?

You tell me.

YOU said they were NOT the Rules of Worship; therefore the jury awaits what they are; from either Rome or you.

Will you choose to play like a mature adult or PeeWee Herman?

I never knew there was a difference between sheep and goats until we got our 4 little darlings 11 years ago.

I assumed that goats would eat grass like I’d seen countless sheep do.

My assumptions were wrong.

Sheep; as we know; primarily bend down to eat - thus being known as grazers, while goats tend to raise up to eat - thus being browsers.

If they manage to drop a ‘treat’ on the ground in their haste to consume it; it will lay there until they REALLY get tired of whatever else there is to eat.

Isn’t that the stuff they give you, to knock you out, if you need surgery?

Well; according to Mark Twain...

We're OK then. With the exception, you think, that we say we are still in Communion with the Saints, both those on this earth and those in heaven. But Jesus told us they are not dead, since the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the God, not of the dead, but of the living. And Paul said all the members of the Body need each other.

It does help if you have the unabridged Bible.

But anyway, "witnessing". Thanks.

[Elsie]

There are some in this thread that must think of themselves as a Kilkenny cat or maybe even a Viking Kitty or perhaps a revived Hobbs, but; in practice; are more like a Garfield.

[Elsie]

I'd suspect so!

One can find even MORE snippets to bind together in the manner of so many other Calvinosaurus'!

We cannot talk with those departed believers in Heaven nor they us....much as you may want that to happen.

But Jesus told us they are not dead, since the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the God, not of the dead, but of the living.

This is correct...except you don't see people praying to Abraham, Isaac or Jacob.

And Paul said all the members of the Body need each other.

The body of believers here on earth.

It does help if you have the unabridged Bible.

I have the complete set of Scripture the early church was using.

[Mrs. Don-o]

My research indicates that is not a thing.

[Mark17]

That’s why I had to unlearn all my cult speak words.

How can one be Master like that?

It took months of reading the Bible, to get the false Catholic doctrines out of my system. My catholic thinking was so screwed up, I even believed in evolution, and I have no clue how I managed to get that into my mind. Now, I try to lead people out of the Catholic Church. It’s a beautiful thing. 👍

[Mark17]

We cannot talk with those departed believers in Heaven nor they us....much as you may want that to happen.

I used to do that when I was a catholic, but I believe that would otherwise be called necromancy. It’s a no no. 😁🤣

[Al Hitan]

True; but it appears you cannot even help yourself from ignoring Jesus' plain command:

Show me where I ignored Jesus's plain command.

[Elsie]

Precisely!

[Elsie]

Sorry Pee Wee.

Tell it to your FATHER at confession time.

[Al Hitan]

YOU said they were NOT the Rules of Worship

True, because they're not about worship.

therefore the jury awaits what they are; from either Rome or you.

If you have a preconceived idea, just tells instead of playing games.

Will you choose to play like a mature adult or PeeWee Herman?

Interesting, because when responding I was thinking: what kind of response does Pee Wee Herman want?

[Al Hitan]

I re-posted your reply. Your obtuseness is plain for all to see.

I don't believe you did. Who's being obtuse now?
