Sorry; but I do NOT 'know'!
There is NO evidence; in the Scriptures that Rome assembled; that shows this occurring.
Sigh...
It used to be SO much simpler; when all we had to worry about were angels dancing on a pinhead.
Signal Graces are those special and unique Graces to help sanctify us in our state in life.
See the remaining promises for an explanation for which these will consist.
St. Louis de Montfort states emphatically that the best and fastest way;
to union with Our Lord; is via Our Lady
...Mrs. Van Hoof is said to have subsequently left Roman Catholicism for an independent local Old Catholic Church.
Your comment: “Rather, most all your posts are simply continually asserting beliefs that have been refuted and one can only wish were established. Including the premise that Gods Word is whatever Rome says it is.”
That is you false personal opinion because you reject some of God’s Truth, His Catholic Church, the authority that Jesus gave His Church, some of His Sacraments including the Real Presence in the Eucharist.
While the Catholic Church recognizes valid Baptisms and that there are many similar beliefs we share with protestants and there is a hope for reconciliation with all christians, there is also a recognition that many are imperfect in their faith in God with their rejection of key revealed truths from God.
Jesus in His Mercy does see into a person’s heart and wants us to repent and change.
I try to share my Catholic faith that is God’s Truth as best as I can. I am concerned for many that say they have faith but have rejected many revealed truths. We have been asked to pray for the conversion of sinners by the Blessed Mother as Jesus is upset that many are following the ways of the world that will prevent many from sharing eternal life with Him.
Your comment” As we all know, Catholics disobey the clear, concise, unequivocal command of Jesus to NOT use the title of Father for religious leaders.”
This is just your personal false opinion that shows your opposition to the Catholic faith which you abandoned.
Even the apostles in the Bible called priests “ Father” as spiritual fathers. Luke 16:24; James 2:21; Romans 4:1-18; 1John 2:3-14.
Jesus emphasizes the sin of pride among the scribes and Pharisees.
Have you ever considered whether you are in uttering against God - inwardly or outwardly - words of hatred, reproach or defiance?
Not QUITE 40,000, but...
to union with Our Lord; is via Our Lady
I used to believe that when I was a catholic. Now that I am an ex catholic, I do not believe it. Mary is dead and buried. No one can union with her. 🤗🤪 She was a sinner, just like all of us. To claim she was sinless, is to call God a liar. ALL have sinned. 👍
And if she was sinless she would not have died Death is a consequence of sin....
Wow. Your Jesus is so impotent He has to ask mommy to appeal to people on His behalf? Shows you where the Roman church life its priorities. Where was Mary ever give. the power authority or ability to communicate with people from beyond the grave?
There is not much said of Mary in Scripture after the birth of Christ. Its almost like God knee a cult would form around the worship - excuse me generation (cough) of her and He didnt feed the error. weird.
Not if you assume the Assumption...
I got baptized in the Catholic Church, as an infant, or so my parents told me. I was too young to remember. After I left the church, while I was at Mountain Home, I later, got baptized at 21, in the swimming pool at Bien Hoa Air Base, Republic of Vietnam. Yes, believe it or not, we DID have a swimming pool in a war zone. It was weird, but I saw it with my own eyes. There were 3 of us, but I think I was the only ex catholic. We made 7th AF and PACAF news. 👍
Thank you. I forgot to mention that, and I dont believe in the so called false doctrine of the assumption. Thats another truth by assertion, which is not truth.
Father Paul, Father Peter, Father James?
i dont see those phrases anywhere in Scripture.
Do you have chapter and verse references to where those titles are used, or where they commanded people to address them as such, as in *Wherefore you are to address us disciples as Father ________?
*Catholic teaching* and *Gods Truth* are oxymorons.
Gods Truth is Scripture, not Catholic fairy tales and wishful thinking
Mary has nothing to do with our salvation and praying to her does nothing. And Jesus is u*upset*????Oh boo hoo...... Poor (Catholic) Jesus. He sounds like such a wimp.
And it sounds like Catholics are trying to guilt trip people into obeying Catholicism by claiming that *Oh look, you made Jesus sad*.
Sheesh........
If all the Mary stuff was removed from Catholicism, the whole religion would collapse like a house of cards.
Hmmmm, quoting Scripture is uttering against God - inwardly or outwardly - words of hatred, reproach or defiance?
Interesting take you have on Scripture.
Im pretty sure the mythology I read over the weekend on the feast of the dormiton of Mary said she died and was placed in a tomb. Cant have it both ways so I guess the Romans. eee to get their mythology straight
