Excellent, especially the first line. I may steal that some day (LOL). M
You need to go to the Mormon and Scientology sites (lol).
Much agree.
You will find extremes in every religion. Those who keep their eyes and their faith on Jesus Christ and in His Word will be the truthbearers. Catholics are JUST as angry toward Protestants as the other way around. The road runs both ways, sadly. There are too many things in the way right now for us to be united, but I firmly believe that God will, in the end, break down those barriers. Human beings NEVER will.
I was appalled that dear Pope John Paul thanked Mary publicly for saving his life when the assasination attempt was made. Whew.
Agreed
But He knew who He would pick before the foundations of the world were laid. He knew she would cooperate because he put it in her heart to do just that. She was a vessel prepared for his use but she was not our co-redemtrix.
He comes as an angel of light.
Quix does NOT hate Catholics. It’s because he loves catholics and doesn’t wish them to die in their heresy that he pokes at the religious system and hierarchy. He has nothing against individual catholics. None of us do.
We shall know them by their fruits.
Straining at gnats again, steve?
IMHO, it’s called demonic deception. satan will use anything and anyone to call attention away from the one true God.
I’m sure if God asked Quix to do that, HE WOULD. He is not without courage.
Madam, it is my belief that the internet has contributed to a coarseness of dialogue that would rarely be exercised in real life.
I also believe that even if the gentleman's beliefs are correct, other forms of ministry would be more pleasing to God.
But thank you for your efforts to enlighten me.
For your perusal:
1Co 12:14 For the body is not one member, but many.
1Co 12:15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
1Co 12:16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
1Co 12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
1Co 12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
1Co 12:19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
1Co 12:20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
1Co 12:21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
1Co 12:22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
1Co 12:23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
1Co 12:24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked:
1Co 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
1Co 12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it.
1Co 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
(e-Sword: KJV)
We, Catholics, cannot ignore any part of the gospel in order to look for “unity”, but I agree that it would be better for the health of the ecumenical relations iof the Protestants learn to ignore things in Catholicism they themselves do not practice and are not likely to correctly understand.
Whatever happened to the scripture that says ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD? Was this left out of their Bible???
We are continually fighting against powers and principalities...what form that takes is up for grabs, I guess. Demons can be UFO imposters, which, as you know, has always been my point of view.
Geez, there ya go again, starting another war(smile).
Hey, my name is Mary... it’s only when Mary is used as a substitute for Jesus that we get ticked off.
