Converted and Converting [St. Paul]

This is one of the most vulgar, disgraceful things I've ever read here. Just a cursory glance through Paul's epistles would/SHOULD be enough to give someone the clear understanding that he would have been mortified by this 'prayer'. All I can add to try to clarify this great Apostle's commission and mission for Christ is this:

"In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel." (Rom. 2:16).

This is what will be presented to you, Salvation. NOT copies of your 'prayers' to St. Paul.

vladimir998: Sometimes anti-Catholics just sound stupid.
Infool7:Yes and the rest of the time they are deceptively obfuscating, misdirecting and sewing falsehoods and descent among those honestly seeking the face of Christ.

Elsie: We ALL know that to see Christ; one must make an appointment with Mary!

Unless it's vlad's point you wish to personify, Thank you for so eloquently helping me illustrate the one I was indicating?

"In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel." (Rom. 2:16).

This is what will be presented to you, Salvation. NOT copies of your 'prayers' to St. Paul.

Joh 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

They just won't accept it...When Jesus is sitting there on his Throne and we are kneeling in front of him, and he opens the books, and the book...And what books are those???

Those are the books from Genesis to Revelation...We'll be judged by the words in the bible...No Didache...No catechism...No church history...No papal bulls...No infallible proclamations from any popes...No words of the ghost of Mary...No rosary...

We will be judged by the words written in THAT book...

...We'll be judged by the words in the bible.

We will be judged by the words written in THAT book.

Just WHERE do you get crazy ideas like that???

Exodus 32:32-33
But now, if you will forgive their sin—but if not, please blot me out of your book that you have written.” But the Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot out of my book.

Daniel 12:1
“At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book.

Philippians 4:3
And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.

Revelation 3:5
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Revelation 13:8
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Revelation 17:8
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

Revelation 20:11-15
"Then I saw a great White Throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and THE BOOKS WERE OPENED. Another book was opened WHICH IS THE BOOK OF LIFE. The dead were judged according to their works as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to their works. Then death and Hades were thrown into the Lake of Fire. The Lake of Fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written IN THE BOOK OF LIFE, he was thrown into the lake of fire."

Revelation 21:27

Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Iff'n yer a MORMON; your Bishop will ask you some questions, and, if you pass the test, you get a card permitting you into the Highest level of Heaven - where God the Father dwells.

Iff'n yer a Catholic; your Priest will ask you some questions, and, if you pass the test, you get absolved of your sins, allowing you into Heaven - where God the Father dwells.

Iff'n yer a PROTESTant; your Conscience will ask you some questions, and, if you realize that no matter WHAT you come up with, it'll be no better than...

... 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'

Luke 18:13

Just WHERE do you get crazy ideas like that???

That crazy idea comes from the bible...

Joh_12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. Joh 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. Rev_20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Heb_4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a

2Ki 23:3 And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant. 2Ch_34:31 And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book.

Here's just a few to get started...Of course we will be judged by the book...Just like in grade school when you read the 5 foot shelf of classics; when you are done, you get graded on the books...
