Whenever God does ANYTHING in this world, He is opposed and hated. Anything at all. If God makes His mark, here on Earth, either the Devil tries to wreck it, or Satan inspires his children to do so. This disdain for all creation and any constructive thing is an anti-Logos, pernicious spirit of ruin. This deep brand of hate is a religious way of thinking, and this feeling can be as shallow or go as deep as it wants. The hate I’m talking about can be a subtle inclination, or it can be an overt obsession. For example, you can be either a Soviet-minded Bolshevist, or you could simply be a vandalizer—you’re serving the Evil Cause in some capacity.
The operative word is SHALT as in the future.
The Holy mother is free to do as God wills her to do from Heaven.
I noticed the Nicene Creed states that “I believe in one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.”
That is what the RCC teaches? That forgiveness of sins is obtained through baptism? Where does Christ’s FINISHED WORK on the cross for us fit in ? And can a person be saved without bring baptized?
You’re confusing the Old Testament with the New Testament.
Do you think there are no demons, including Lucifer, now in Hell? Just human souls?
Funny...it was the truth of the gospel that converted me FROM Catholicism into the genuine and biblical Christian faith and I never looked back.
Nope.
Thanks for the bump.
You are so confused :/
If it’s not the One True Church,
why would you feel demeaned not being in it.
If you don’t think the church you are in
is the One True Church, why are you still in it?
If it is the One True Church,
why aren’t you in it?

So it’s Christ’s FINISHED WORK PLUS baptism ? Then His work was not FINISHED, if there remained something else to be done by US. What if a person is on their way to the Church to be baptized and suddenly suffers a fatal heart attack before he can be baptized?
It was primarily, the love that the true Christians showed me, that led me out of Catholicism, and I never looked back either.
By the way, all these guys were active duty Air Force at the time. 😁😂👍☝️
No, the hatred (as defined by your use of it) against those who are not part of what your anti-historical America, anti-Benedict, anti-Francis (but who at least accepts that the poisonous Francis is pope) relegates as being outside "the True Church" in manifest again.
Christ’s Body = The Church
Isaiah, Chapter 34.
I think your missing a few things there.
I suggest you enter an RCIA program at
your local parish to get a better
understanding of the faith.
They are all starting up in September.
You don’t have to become Catholic
after the program completes but
it will probably answer all your questions and
clear up your many misunderstandings.
God Bless

Try looking up baptism be desire.

Meaning once again, when not attacking the leadership of the RCC, you post a provocative article blatantly demeaning those outside your church of Rome, while exalting her, but if anyone does the like towards Catholics (unless it against those of the "Novus Ordo sect") then that is hateful.
I understand the adoption of liberal tactics quite well.

I thought so; that's why I posted it.
Or do you have a problem with a lone ex-protestant's testimony of his conversion to Catholicism?
Your understanding of history is a bit skewed.
The separation of church and state is a myth based on a letter written by Thomas Jefferson and has no bases in the Constitution (Jefferson was in France at the time of the writing of the Constitution and had little direct influence on its development). It was activist judges that forced the separation of church and state not the founders. The Constitution as written only excluded religious test to the Federal Government not the states.
Several of the states at the time of the founding had state religions. One or more states (I can’t recall which) excluded Catholics from holding public office. Catholics did not predominate in any of the states. Catholics are estimated to have been 1.6% of the population at the time of the Revolution.
The Catholic Church is against revolution as a general rule not the Revolution.
