Well you sure do not operate on the word of God..so what is your foundation?
<> LMAO Exactly what the New Testament says.
And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
<> Calvinist interpreting the Bible; "I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven (until such time as I shall raise up Jean Cauvin who will change Doctrine and I will gve him the keys as a reward for faithfully changing what my Catholic Church taught for 16 Centuries). <>
Like the DemocRATS that you hear calling Rush who claim to have come from a "long line of DemocRATS", they are AFRAID to go against their "DemocRAT family tradition" (the foundation on which their house of cards is built). They FEAR they will be outcasts in their own family and among their friends if any one of them even happens to hear them talking to him.
But as Marx wrote, those who would rule over others must have these sorts of lazy, dependency minded "useful idiots" who don't feel comfortable unless they have someone else do their "critical thinking" for them, and tell them what to believe and what to do.
The proof of how foolish they are is the fact that they *feel* they won't be held responsible for their weak-minded decisions to depend on what others tell them if those *others* turn out to be wrong.
Are you a fatalist?
IF all had been predetermined, then one would have to conclude that Jesus established His Church, sent the Holy Spirit upon it to Teach it all truth, promised to be with His Church until the end of time but He was intentionallly Lying. He REALLY did not intend that.
No, according to the logic of Calvinism, He established His Catholic Church to spread errors and falsehoods, lies, and false Doctrine for 16 Centuries before finally raising up the great champion Calvin to set everything right.
In the meantime 100's of millions of Christians lived and died and were sent to Hell for everlasting punishment for believing the false doctrine spread by the Catholic Church that Jesus established because that was the predetermined plan of God. Serves them bastards right
Yep, it all makes perfect sense to me when I look at it that way.:)<>
<> This is your Faith. And it is the Faith that the_doc got you to accept. Do you think for a nanosecond I'd fall for such evil insanity?<>
<> Nope, Philatelist.<>
20 And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.
21 He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you.
22 When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost.
23 Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them: and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained
<> Well, I do go to Confession. But, then again, I am a Catholic and so I follow Jesus, not Jean Cauvin.<>
Unless you get on even ground with us by studying the Word of God, you will never be open to what it teaches. One day we'll all be gone from here,and in the deafening silence you can sit around with your little playpals and put dresses on your images of your gods and no one will rebuke you.
Did Christ found one Church?
"There is one Lord, one faith, one Baptism; one God."(Eph.34:4-6, Jn.17:21).
Is it against Christ's will for there to be division in His Church?
"Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all say the same thing; and that there be no dissension among you, but that you be perfectly united in one mind and in one judgment." (1 Cor. 1:10.)

"<>His "Doctrine" comes from Satan. The scorpion's egg of "You shall be like Gods" was implanted in his intellect. Calvin's Will fertislised it and the bastard child was brought forth- Calvin's Dark Doctrines - and those with itching ears, anxious for new doctrine sallied forth to worship the Mother of errors and His child.<>"
