No idea, fwdude.
Wish I did but then I don’t advocate Catholic or Protestant. Maybe that is the difference?
Thank you for posting, bear.
She was raised Pentecostal and I was raised Catholic. We had some wonderful conversations about our faith.
She had always been told how Catholicism was of the devil, but she loved me and always treated me with respect.
Towards the end of her life she said to me that she finally realized that we were not all that different in our love of Jesus.
A friend of hers gave her a crucifix which she cherished.
She didn't become Catholic and I never became Pentecostal, but that doesn't matter.
I have never met anyone who was as clearly as holy as she was in her daily life.
At the end of her life she was nearly blind and very hard of hearing, but she thanked God that she had no physical pain.
Her one goal was to see the face of Jesus.
I have no doubt at all that she succeeded.
Perhaps, BeadCounter.
I’ve read some of the letters Mike has posted from Catholics on his site and, while not quite as vitriolic as what goes on here, they certainly do not like what he has to say.
Thank you for posting.
She sounds a wonderful example of faith, Slyfox.
I am not here to advocate for Catholic or Protestant...just Jesus.
Thanks for sharing the lovely story and god bless you.
I received Him ONCE for all time.

Joshua 1:5 KJV
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
1 Chronicles 28:20 KJV
And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.
Psalm 37:28 KJV
For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Then go your own way, mlizzy.That doesn't answer my question. Doh!

Christianity is not sinking. It can’t. He promised.
Jodyel, this is an excellent, much-needed piece. Thank you for posting it.
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins." (Mt 26:26-28; cf. Mk 14:22-24, Lk 22:17-20, 1 Cor 11:23-25)Recalling these words of Jesus, the Catholic Church professes that, in the celebration of the Eucharist, bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit and the instrumentality of the priest. Jesus said: "I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world. . . . For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink" (Jn 6:51-55). The whole Christ is truly present, body, blood, soul, and divinity, under the appearances of bread and wine—the glorified Christ who rose from the dead after dying for our sins. This is what the Church means when she speaks of the "Real Presence" of Christ in the Eucharist. This presence of Christ in the Eucharist is called "real" not to exclude other types of his presence as if they could not be understood as real (cf. Catechism, no. 1374). The risen Christ is present to his Church in many ways, but most especially through the sacrament of his Body and Blood... --usccb.org
There is no proof that Sirach was written before Jesus Christ showed up...It is more likely that the author of Sirach copied from the book of James...
There was no such consensus among Jews that the OT Canon was closed until long after Christ's Ascension and Pentecost and even the Destruction of the Temple, when Jewish authorities would have no say so on such things.
There was a consensus of at least one Jew...
Luk_11:51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
Luk_24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Jesus left out the apocrypha....He never taught a word from it...The canon accepted by Jesus is the Law, the Prophets and the Psalms...
Divide and conquer .... followed by Sharia Law.
I go the Way of Our Lord Jesus Christ, thank you, in the Church He founded on Peter, to which He gave the authority to lose and bind and forgive sins and confect the Eucharist.
Whosoever goes against this Church Jesus Christ built goes “their own way.”
That’s a real good post, Grade A, also seems to make one wonder when one asserts, I accept Christ one time and am born again.
Because at that last supper, Christ says “Do this in remembrance of me”.
Slight difference there.
I have never met anyone who was as clearly as holy as she was in her daily life.I have a friend like that too. In fact she was my Sunday School teacher (Missouri Synod Lutheran). She is still living (but quite old). When I initially mentioned her goodness to my husband [he had met and spoken with Caroline a few times before], he said, "I agree! Just imagine what type of Catholic she'd make!" :)
YOu have to because you receive him physically...And he leaves you everyday, physically...You would do well to believe Jesus...
Mat_15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
Mar_7:19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
Don't you realize why we keep harping on you guys that you must get 'born again'???
I'll bet he also told you to be careful when you open you mouth so you don't step in it...
That doesn’t quite negate Jesus saying as well “Do this in rememberance of me” at the Last Supper though.
