We do not need "evangelicals" that think like that. Then that chucks out 99% of the "e"s
That is simply your biased interpretation, contrary to the testimony of the superior commitment of evangelicals, versus having an ineffectual faith. It is Catholics who most testify to "easy believism," which is what Rome effectually teaches every time she manifests that she considers even proabortion, prohomosexual public figures to be members in life and in death.
Which actually is an argument against you, unlike listing heretical "evangelicals," since it is you who is preaching a particular church which makes Teddy K RCs to be your brethren
Do you need Evangelicals like the Oneness Pentecostals who say that the Trinity does not exist?
Small minority they, and so what? Their existence does not impugn my argument that your convert was the equivalent of your "poorly catechized Catholic.

Amen! Well stated. Jesus said when He had spoken of earthly things they believed not, how would they believe if He told them about heavenly things. It's nothing but pride for humans to imagine they can ever come close to grasping the infinite. The best we can hope for while in this mortal coil is:
That out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love, will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:16-19)

I wonder who is going to break it to this couple that they’ll have to give up their assurance of salvation promised to them by God (like in I John 5:13 among LOTS of others)? They call it a “sin of presumption” where they went.

I doubt CRONOS (a fallen angel name, IIRC)There may very well have been a fallen angel with that name, but the name was supposedly given to a first generation Titan. 🤗

Traded in for candles, idols, rituals, and Mary.
Bad trade!

I stand corrected, it was a Nepilim, who were called the Titans.

Stephanie interjected, “Our salvation is not possible without her. And He chose to make it that way.”
Yep. The lost soul is lost in blasphemy.
Thanks for your post.

The poster of this thread is asserting that an ORG can guarantee eternity for adherents to that ORG. Such perspective is from the satan not God.
I wonder, has the Catholic got Pachamama? Is that demeaning to their Mary? Or will the ORG blend the two for effect, the way the ORG has done with so much paganism inveigled to Catholicism?

"poorly catechized Catholic" is SURELY an oxymoron.
Would not the person have to keep repeating the classes until he/she gets a passing grade?

I guess a person in Tennessee would know about Titans all right.

Please! Saint Pachamam is our newest indigenous saint! She will join our pantheon of Roman Catholic demigods and demigoddesses.
This is all a perfect example of how our sacred tradition works to sanctify paganism and pretend it is Christian!!
Catholic Dude
Hail Mary!!
