>>Do they get vicious like you catholics?<<

Give it a try and report back.

[SampleMan]

Good read. But be careful. The Catholics on this site hate being challenged and will turn nasty quick if you challenge them.

Yes indeed be careful. The Catholics have glowing red eyes and eat Protestant children as well.

Bless your heart, A.B. I always enjoy your vivid language! Have a good evening.

[StAthanasiustheGreat]

So, it is Boettner's poor cousin?

[Larry Lucido]

With all due respect, why in the world would any of us hold our Faith whole, without having to conclude that those without it are misguided?

Simple. Because you're not misguided. Neither am I.

Long as we both love the Lord our God with all our hearts, give our lives over to Jesus Christ, and pray for wisdom and guidance, we will be guided to where He wants us. I wasn't misguided as a Catholic and I'm not misguided now. My brother, who was a Protestant for years and recently moved back to the Catholic Church with his family (his was never Catholic) was never misguided. We just worship differently. I encouraged him in his move because that is what the Spirit moved him to do. I didn't berate him for it, even though I feel God isn't leading me that direction.

dig deeper.

he was a fraud at one point or another.

I suspect both.

of course, some of the posters in this forum take that as an indictment of their church. it's not. it is an indictment of this creep.

After we strangle them with our Rosary beads and offer them up to a statue of the Virgin Mary.

Doc,

Here's how I learned it lo, these many years ago (from the Small Catechism):

Q: What must we know and believe if after we have come to the use of reason we wish to be saved?

A: We must know and believe -- 1. That there is only one God; 2. That in God there are three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; 3. That God is supremely just, and that He rewards the good and punishes the wicked;
4. That the Son of God became man and redeemed us by His sufferings and death.

But Baptism is also required (also from the Small Catechism):

Q: Why can we not be saved without Baptism?
A: Because we are cleansed from original sin only by Baptism.


Hope this answered your question.

Regards,

WOW!!!!!!!!!

You just blew me away!

That was a true Christian spirit and I applaud you!

I am sorry for my digs at you.

And anytime you wanna say a prayer for me it would be welcome too.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Actually, this is true statement concerning the Assemblies of God.

Thanks for playing, but you are incorrect. The Assemblies of God doctrine is on display at

Here

There are much more well positioned points of attack with which you can assault my Denomination without having to make up a silly falsehood such as each person in the Assemblies of God bases his faith on his own interpretation of the scripture. =)

[NYer]

Assume I am a lost sinner on my way to hell. What must I do to be saved?

Turn to Scripture, of course :-)!

Neh. 13:14, Psalm 11:7,28:4, Isa. 3:10, 59:18, Jer. 25:14, 50:29, Ezek. 9:10, 11:21, 36:19, Hos. 4:9, 9:15, 12:2, Sir. 16:12,14 - The 2,000 year-old Catholic position on salvation is that we are saved by Jesus Christ and Him alone (cf. Acts 15:11; Eph. 2:5). But by the grace of Christ, we achieve the salvation God desires for us through perseverance in both faith and works. Many Protestants, on the other hand, believe that one just has to accept Jesus as personal Lord and Savior to be saved, and good works are not necessary (they just flow from those already saved). But these verses, and many others, teach us that our performance of good works is necessary for our salvation. Scripture also does not teach that good works distinguish those who are eternally saved from those who are not saved.

Sir. 35:19; Luke 23:41; John 3:19-21, Rom. 8:13, 2 Tim 4:14, Titus 3:8,14, Rev. 22:12 - these verses also teach us that we all will be judged by God according to our deeds. There is no distinction between the "saved" and the "unsaved."

1 Cor. 3:15 - if works are unnecessary for salvation as many Protestants believe, then why is a man saved (not just rewarded) through fire by a judgment of his works?

[VermiciousKnid]

They skip over it and go right to the Kyrie (but of course, they don't actually SAY "Kyrie...").

It really has been years and years since I've heard the Confeitor at Mass.

How do you explain the rampant apostacy in the Protestant faiths in this country?

Protestants killed and tortured a goodly number of folks, too.

[xzins]

Sorry to say, but I don't find this very compelling. It's worry-wort stuff. Attending a protestant event does not make one a protestant, any more than visiting a college makes you a student.

[DocRock]

"The day we die, God will judge the color of the liquid."

Is this like putting our good deeds on a scale or balance against our bad deeds?

[Petronski]

Or you can read the book by Rick Jones...Understanding Roman Catholicism

Right. And people who are drowning can read a short pamphlet on "Gripping Heavy Stones."

Sheesh. The hate never ends.
