Are We Really Catholic Bashing?

**This thread is predicated on non Catholics telling Catholics they are damned to hell for being Catholic.**

That’s exactly what I’m getting out of it too, from the very first time she said it.

[Salvation]

Oops

divisiveness!

Yeah, I could tell that from your plea to the RM. Evidently, your group can't stand the truth.

I included the RM because I wanted to know how far Free Republic wishes to go regarding being rude; it's rude to tell someone to go away, right after putting up a post bashing their faith, that they wish to defend. If fact, that would be a double-rude. Would you do that to your child, your spouse, your friend? So I got my answer by pinging the RM, and must now adhere to the rules of this forum, or "go away."

As far as not being able to stand the truth, I already know what's True to me. 10,000+ saints back up the faith as well; all very good honest, remarkable people [in Christ].

Saints in heaven, please pray for us.

I will go my way.....the Lord's Way of the Cross.

Ha! Very good, Salvation... ♥

If the Catholic faith was not the ONE, TRUE, FAITH, there is no way in 40 hells it would still be standing 2,000 years after it was formed. Have a nice day.

It’s most comical to watch the double standard.

Isn't it though!

"Who us? Not US! We would NEVER! uh...well, MOST of us would never..." ...."

[smvoice]

Uh huh. That’s what the muslims say. and the Buddhists. and the wiccans. and so on. and so on...

So what, then, is the purpose of posting this article in the first place? It’s not to bring Protestants and Catholics closer together. It’s not for God’s glory. It’s not to have a discussion.

I would disagree with that...No one on this side has said, 'come to my church or come to my denomination'...Our message is come to Jesus...And coming to Jesus DOES bring Catholics and Protestants together...

We post scripture inspired of God and welcome dialog on those scriptures...You guys rarely if ever respond to scripture...It is you guys who are not interested in dialog...

[Iscool]

I suspect that my Protestant brothers and sisters will have less need for Purgatory: those 1-hour sermons are punishment enough...

It's not bad as long as you wake up before it's over...

You don’t give the RCC nearly enough credit. Many of it’s beliefs and rituals go back to the days of Nimrod. The hats worn by Catholic priests go back to the priests of Dagon. My goodness, give the RCC credit where credit is due.

I am talking about Christians. None have been around for 2,000 years but the Catholics. Without the Catholic Church there would be no Western Civilization. There would be no Bible. There would be no universities. There would be no hospitals. There would be nothing.

Spot on! As long as that Jesus is the Jesus of scripture.

[smvoice]

You’re very wrong, NKP_Vet. But you’ll never be convinced. So I won’t waste your time. God keeps the tally sheet, not me.

[CynicalBear]

Arrogance doesn’t even begin to describe that attitude.

Saints in heaven, please pray for us.

You make my case. Your group is not the chosen one!. The saints cannot pray for you, and your idolatry is duly noted.

Exodus 20: ...4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. ...

Ephesians 1: 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. ...

Ephesians 2: ...19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

A quote from Pope Francis: Since many of you do not belong to the Catholic Church and others are non-believers, from the bottom of my heart I give this silent blessing to each and every one of you, respecting the conscience of each one of you but knowing that each one of you is a child of God.

I don't see where your pope or any man has the power to bless anyone...

While God is the creator of everyone, as I read the scriptures I see that unbelievers are the child of the devil and condemned to hell...

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Now that's silly...The earth is the domain of Satan...His religion(s) and phony ministers will be here right up to the time of the 2nd Coming of Jesus...
