Izzy what is the address that I can send the Tim Staples CD to?
No need...I looked the guy up online...
Is this guy what the hoopla is all about???
Claims he was a Pentecostal Youth Paster, sometime before he was 18 years old...And at 18, he joined the Military...What, was it in the nursery???
So Staples says he was constantly told of the evils of Catholicism but no one ever told him what those evils were...I don't buy it but oh well...He got into the Military and his Catholic boss convinces him to read all this non biblical literature put out by your religion...The poor guy didn't even know enough bible to defend himself...
So half a year after joining your religion Staples is off to Seminary to be a priest...But then he drops out of the priesthood because he admitted to himself that God didn't afterall call him to be a priest...Gotta wonder how common that is...
So for the next 3 years he immerses himself in pagan philosophy...After that, he learns from the books and booklets put out by your religion having to do with your religion's history...
Somewhere in there he gets to some bible courses...Actually, bible apologetic courses...And now, he is the head apologetic for your religion...
He, let me ask a question...Why is it that your religion is the only religion on earth to give (require) people to go to college to defend itself against the bible and bible believing Christians???
But anyway, that sums up Staples' so called journey home...
His theology he puts out is the same junk we see here day in and day out...Nothing new...Everyone reads from the same talking points...
Rev 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Do you know the significance of that verse??? Do you know what that verse unequivocally proves??? It proves that Mary physically went to heaven according to Staples...How, one might ask??? Because the verse not only mentions the woman's head, but it also talks about her feet...Head and feet...That's a real, physical body there...That's Mary...I think I was stomping my feet and pulling my hair when I heard him say that...
I was going to tear his theology apart piece by piece but there's no need...Like I said, it's the same stuff we read here all the time...
And no, I'm not impressed...His advice for Catholics when a Protestant asks you if you are saved is to claim that you have been saved...You are being saved...And you will be saved if you endure to the end...And with a little bit of perverting the scripture, he states the scripture proof...
How could even a semi-intelligent Catholic buy into this??? If you will not be saved unless you endure to the end, how could you possibly be saved now??? Idiotic...
I'd suggest you read the testimonies of some former Catholics who turned to Jesus...You'll see quite a contrast...
