AMEN!!!

[the invisib1e hand]

It really does not matter which church you belong to as long as you believe.

Thanks for that. Did you hear Satan say that directly, or did you get it third-party?

[Marysecretary]

Nooo, the Body of Christ.

[Marysecretary]

It depends on the version you read, verga. I have read in the Bible the term ye must be born again.

[Marysecretary]

I’m not telling you anything Ann. You are misconstruing and getting wayyyy too upset. I am saying that God knows what’s in your heart. If you have a problem with that, then it’s your problem, not mine.

[Marysecretary]

And Catholics always say WE are the ones who are hateful?

[Ann Archy]

OUT VIPERS BROOD!

[Marysecretary]

And Catholics call US hateful? Chill out, Annie.

[Ann Archy]

Hey...you show me ONE thread where Catholics call you and yours hateful......waiting.....waiting....waiting.....you are a sad or jealous person, Mary....I am to pray for people like you.....just as Jesus.

[Petronski]

...the Body of Christ.

Correct! The Catholic Church.

[verga]

It depends on the version you read, verga. I have read in the Bible the term ye must be born again.

You need to read the original Greek.

Everything else is just a corrupt translation

Thank you for the ping, Salvation. I saw this interview yesterday and said a prayer of thanksgiving at Mass for Newt’s conversion. His answers shine with simplicity and clarity. I am happy for him.

[La Enchiladita]

Must have been a Baptist like Bubba. No truly born-again Christian could become a Catholic.

I assume he was a baptized Baptist. Bubba was not??

When one is baptized "in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost," one is born again in Christ, whether it was done in the Baptist church, Methodist, Catholic, or the Jordan River. The Catholic church recognizes such Protestant baptism, for those who wish to convert, to join the Catholic church.

Now, if the Catholic church can recognize the validity of your baptism, why can't you return the same respect?

[Ann Archy]

THANK YOU!!

I really believe that his basic statement, Christ our hope, is right.

Now, there is hope I can believe in!! Hosanna in the highest!!

[Marysecretary]

Got any suggestions as to which version I should check out?

[Marysecretary]

I’m neither sad nor jealous. I’ve seen plenty of threads over the past few months where Catholics think we are hateful because we challenge your beliefs. Check them out for yourself. They’re there.

I appreciate your prayers, always. Blessings, Mary

Knew you couldn't show me one.

We are ALL Christians if we believe in Jesus as our Savior.....but the Catholic Church was the DIRECT result of Jesus, and all other Churches are Breakaways.
