WHO REALLY IS 'ANTI-CATHOLIC?'

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Your cartoon is behind the times. There are now SIX Roman Catholics on the Supreme Court, although Roman Catholics only make up a little over 20% of the American population.

And somehow Roman Catholics STILL whine about their toes being stepped on.

As Scripture informs us, Christians don't pray to statues, believe in "another Christ," nor consider anyone to be a "co-redeemer."

(Cue Petronski's gratitude...)

[Alamo-Girl]

Indeed. Thank you so very much for your insights, dear brother in Christ!

[Ken4TA]

I have a simple question, but to most people it is complicated. So don't get too upset by it...

You said:
We were made in the image of God...We have a body, a soul and a spirit...But yet to look at us, all you see is one...

Where in the Bible (or even tradition [oral transmission] handed down by the Apostles) does it say that God put a "soul" in our body? That is my question.

BTW: define the term "soul" for me in your response, if you can.

It’s the result of what both Peter and Paul warned about at the beginnings of the church, wolves have infiltrated and devour them, and why? because they let them

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you so very much for your testimony, dear brother in Christ, and for your encouragements!

When you run out of argument, post pictures. The “chat” ladies must be at lunch.

Beatitudes.

[MarkBsnr]

I'm sure that the good Dr. is not a cat hater.

[xone]

Matthew 10:28

28Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Soul: That part of man which isn't body.

Apparently there are two parts to man.

[MarkBsnr]

I will NOT kowtow to your ABSOLUTE !!!!!DEMAND!!!!! THAT I USE THAT HERETICAL TERM. I will not violate my conscience on that matter.

[Judith Anne]

How is it that the anti-Catholic bigots are so blind? How is it that they cannot see themselves?

“O wad some Power the giftie gie us, to see oursels as ithers see us. It wad frae mony a blunder free us,
An’ foolish notion.”

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Girls usually post cat pictures.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Eating cats.

[MarkBsnr]

Besides, it appears that the wine or the hour may be clouding perceptions and cognitions such that even any hint of authentic dialogue is totally impossible.

Probably more one than the other.

[1000 silverlings]

Time for some “Cat Stew”, (so meaty)

[MarkBsnr]

Or falling prostate before him?

This is rather personal fail.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

lol. That show is priceless. It must cost nothing to make. And it’s funnier than 90% of the sitcoms out there.

You're right, but my experience has been that the vast majority of RC's I know don't know the half of what they are supposed to believe. They think of themselves as Christians, but don't know The Gospel and attend church because that's what good people are supposed to do. Now, are they kept in the dark because they are easier to control that way (this assumes a grand puppet master), or are they in the dark because they just trusted their church would never make mistakes. I think it's the latter.

They don't search their Bibles for the Truth. They rely on others to do it for them. My 2 sons are a great case in point. They both attended a RC high school. In religion class they were the only ones who knew where to look in their Bibles to argue with the Priest and Nuns about the error of their beliefs. The others just assumed whatever they told them was correct.

[MarkBsnr]

You are correct in part. The "Church" you mention was not the organization later formed as the "Catholic" church - it was the "universal" agreement of the books of the Bible that were already being used by Churches of Christ in most areas of Christianity.

Negative to both. The Church was the gathering of the bishops of the original sees plus the growing number of bishops as Christianity spread. There were several hundred books being used including the Shepherd of Hermas, Barnabas, approximately 80 Gospels, etc etc, plus several hundred versions of each. The Gnostic books were heavily used in certain areas as well.

You don't know the reasons why I said what I did - please get over it and recognize that others are entitled to tell what they have learned from history.

People are entitled to their opinions, sure, regardless of how poorly they fit the known facts and timelines.

[1000 silverlings]

Well that actually condemns them, it's incumbent upon us to learn the truth and to search the scriptures to find it, and a church or pastor that preaches it. Diligently. If a church preaches another gospel other than the one revealed to us, we are to make tracks.

Of course, it's also the spoon-fed mentality, here I am with my little open mouth, feed me. Prevalent in state run institutions that don't encourage thinking. That baby gets pablum. Hunters grow up and get the meat.
