Will look into it. Thanks for bringing to my attention.
Just goes to show anyone can be deceived....and Catholics especially so since they are not born again.
Then let’s go get some depth!
“sensory aspects”
Completely hits the nail....appeals to the human senses...does not come from the Spirit.
Better watch out, OLOFOB, lest ye be counted a scoffer.
Yes, continue on the broad path to destruction with all those other so called Christians for the 1st sixteen centuries.
The way is narrow, not broad.
You haven’t burst anything for me.....narrow, not broad.
Narrow, not broad.
“In the final analysis, you don’t get to decide whether Catholics are Christians or not. God makes that call, and you aren’t him. Sorry to burst your bubble.”
Yet Catholics have often made like comments, including that Protestantism is a false religion, belief in one’s self, who have no faith in Christ, no foundation for their superficial understanding of Christianity, who are by inclination vandals, etc. And yet claim there is no anti-protestant bigotry among Catholics here.
Meanwhile, some of your own teachings broadly consigned Prots to Hell, and many RCs today interpret Lumen Gentium as at least excluding former RCs from salvation, unless they become Catholic, while Rome teaches their churches are not worthy of properly being titled such.
Many RCs also seem to justify such elitism by basically arguing that being the steward of Scripture, and inheritor of Divine promises, and having historical dissent, makes her the infallible judge of what truth is, invalidating all who dissent from her.
Catholicism is a man-mad religion having nothing to do with the Spirit.
Whether you believe that or not depends on the Spirit. It is up to Him to decide who he will reveal Himself to.
The way is narrow, not broad.
Just what I said.
I often get the impression that many RCs here wish the Inquisitions with all their carnal means were yet in force.
Sensory perception perhaps?
The hypocrisy is astounding isn’t it?
No one pinged you at all.
Here is my ping list and you ain’t on it, little one.

Perhaps you should go back and check who I pinged...done with you a long time ago.
I am very happy with my Catholic faith and always will be. It is the closest path to Jesus and redemption to me and nothing is as fulfilling as experiencing the sacrifice of the Mass - and I'm on my way there now.
For some reason, some folks have a real resentment towards others and I don't have any explanation for it. I grew up in a neighborhood with Catholics, Protestants of all flavors, Jews, and even some Mormons. We all got along really well and I don't remember any disputes among us.
How we approach salvation should be our own choice and I believe that no matter how passionately someone feels about the correct path, condemnation and ridicule are useless as tools to help others. Hence my apology for my angry remarks.
Interesting as he was not pinged or invited to the discussion at all, but seems what I am posting is enraging him...isn’t that what happens when demons are confronted with truth.
I don’t have anything against Catholics, but have a whole lot against Catholicism.
Don’t have anything against Catholics at all, but do not consider Catholicism to be Christian. Sorry.
Btw, verga was not pinged at all so no idea what he is enraged about other than the fact he is raging against the truth.
Thanks for writing me and god bless.
Thanks but prayer is needed for those on the broad road, which is the one Catholicism teaches.
The way is narrow, not broad.
Pray for the Spirit and ask that He should open your spirit to His. Or keep to the broad road.
