They are
INCAPABLE AND UNWILLING
TO FACE THE TRUTH OF HIS ASSERTIONS
So they grasp at straws to poke at the messenger.
What hollow hypocrisies they fling so glibly.
There you go again
trying to confuse them with facts.
You should know by now, the rabid clique sorts are
ALLERGIC TO FACTS
and consider them anathema to their dogmatic pseudo-’faith.’
Nope. It’s the detractors and their assumptions who clearly have their facts wrong.
What a disgusting bunch of tripe y’all fling about rather than dealing with the substance of his EXPERIENCES AS WELL AS HIS PERSPECTIVE.
Thanks for demonstrating yet again
the allergy so many RC’s have toward
accepting facts as facts.
No wonder they can’t accept the Word of God as
the Word of God!
Yet, y’all are the first to scream bloody murder about anyone else doubting YOUR experiences for any reason.
What rank hypocrisy.
Yet y’all seem to think we should give more than a gnat’s burp’s worth of care about y’all’s assertions.
Sheesh what hypocritical irrationality!
What an absurd response.
I suppose you were eagerly applauding when RC’s hereon chronically wailed about Proddys doubting the RC’s personal experiences?
Oh, right.
Hypocrisy is not in y’all’s rubber dictionary.
Well I can’t agree that is how this former Priest defines Himself. His testimony and years of study certainly would certainly say He sought the Lords council and likely others along the way. I think truth was revealed to Him as He stated, thru the scriptures...likely not perceived as truth, but as the Lord has stated, His Spirit guides us to that and reveals Christ and His truth to us. So the scriptures were what brought Him to understanding what truth is and who that rests in. Once determined so He commited His life to Christ.
NO big surprise there.
Most Proddys hereon are acutely familiar with RC’s disbelieving basic facts, basic history, basid definitions, basic Scripture.
That response was just more of the same.
. . .
LOL
If the pages of the Bible are burning you, try reading them underwater. ;-)
Bears repeating, and we ex-Catholics do know better. We know what the Catholic church teaches because we were raised and catechized in it. We know what other Catholics that we worked with, went to school with, had communion parties, confirmation parties, marriages, and funerals with believed because we talked about it. Some of us even have family members who were in the Catholic clergy and really KNOW what the Catholic church teaches.
And yet, we're told we are wrong by someone we don't know, using only a screen name, on an internet forum. And if I have to choose who I'm going to believe about what Catholicism teaches, who would I reasonably be expected to believe? The relatives who have no cause to lie to me? Or a screen name on an internet forum who won't back up what they say, but continually tells me that I'm wrong-even when I quote vatican.va, the Catholic church website itself (which BTW, verifies with what my Catholic clergy relatives themselves told me)?
I believe that we are created in Christ unto good works. Our salvation places us into Christ. And from that place, good works will normally abound. all to the glory of Christ. It is in response to what He has done for us that makes us want to walk in good works. There is no boasting there. Just thankfulness for our salvation, justification, and sanctification.
Great idea, but first I will have to learn Braille since it hurts to open my eyes in a pool. And readin the Bible underwater in the tub just seems disrespectful.
Honestly I could never deliberatly get a Bible wet. I even hate to see one all marked up (though I realize most people make notations for good intentions) and a Bible would have to be practically falling apart for me to feel o.k. throwing it away. Maybe that is silly but the Bible is so much more than just a book to me.
Just look at the typical Catholic reaction any time someone questions the whole Fatima event.
Just something to end on that might leave you with a smile.
My wife is ex-RC. The first time she walked with me to church (Baptist) on the way she asked "what if they're doing weird things and we want to leave".
I responded, "honey, I'm 6' tall 220lbs and we'll sit in the back. I don't think anyone will try to stop us."
She couldn't believe how much she enjoyed being in church and talking with the "blue haired" ladies afterwards. She never looked back.
I changed your article source to BereanBeacon.Org. Since BibleBelievers.Org promotes Jack Chick Publications it cannot be used as a source.
His choice is basically a rejection of the authority of the Church, just as Luther’s was. You say that the Truth was “revealed” to him thru the Scripture, but that goes beyond the evidence. It is his interpretation of Scripture that has led him to where he is. Whether the Spirit led him to his conclusions is something we do not know.
I’m thinking I might get one for my son, who likes outdoors stuff like camping a lot.
I’ve been trying to figure out if the pages are made of tyvec or not. It’s about the only thing I can think of that could be that durable and not be simply coated paper.
Do you perceive to be true that Rome has authority?
