THE PROTESTANT’S DILEMMA BY DEVIN ROSE: A REVIEW

How come you can't answer my question, Verga? I'll ask it again:

What part of: "you are upset about the Holy Spirit picking men that are human," isn't clear?

Your not one of those quasi modalists that doesn't believe that the Holy Spirit isn't God are you?

Let me make it very clear for you: God is responsible for picking every single man that sat on the throne of Peter. the same God that pickled the worst Pope (Whoever you think it is this week) is the same God that guides the Catholic Church in all truth and has promised that the gates of Hell will not prevail against the Catholic Church.

We can't help it if you conveniently skip over all the positive contributions Elsie has made to the conversation.

And yet not one listed.

[metmom]

I already told you I posted all I needed or intended.

[verga]

And as bb pointed out, God did not put any of them in charge of any of His people. Ever.

Maybe you should consider reading the Bible before regurgitating another personas errors. Acts 1:20 "For," said Peter, "it is written in the Book of Psalms: "'May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,' and, "'May another take his place of leadership.'

[metmom]

It’s not just Protestants who advocate confessing directly to God.

Those OT passages show that the Jews did it as well.

[verga]

I already told you I posted all I needed or intended.

But that wasn't the question was it? Here is again: Have you figured out the rest of it yet?

A literate person would know it off the top of their head.

Are you saying a Catholic actually knows something you don't. Because that is the message I am receiving from your refusal to answer.

[metmom]

What did Judas lead?

I can't help what you think.

And how about one from the New Testament I forgot, and shame on me for not thinking of it first of all:

“This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'" - Matthew 6:9-13

[verga]

Still waiting for you to answer my question, I seem to be answering yours.

[verga]

I pity you and pray that you will find the courage to come to Jesus.

[metmom]

I pity you and pray that you will find the courage to come to Jesus.

Another miracle. God answered that one 37 years before you prayed it.

I don't need or want your pity. Save it for someone else.

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

And you only proved what I said...you conveniently skipped over them. All you had to do was take a look see on this VERY thread VERY recently...posts #315, 316 & 317 were all posted by Elsie and listed specific Scripture passages that answered the false assertion that Christians are not ever to "judge". As Elsie demonstrated, that's NOT God's viewpoint at all. Rarely do we see the same level of thoroughness from y'all. Also, like I said, I find Elsie's posts helpful and appreciate his humor when it is offered. Perhaps if he was a Roman Catholic and was using the same attitude towards those you despise, you'd be downright proud to call him friend?

I'm sure the drunkenness of some made them "pickled", but you can't blame God for that! ☺

Then your answer is that God failed the Roman Catholic Church by intentionally hand picking the DDDPs? I have a higher view of Him than you, apparently, because I tend to believe He would NEVER intend for men that failed HIS OWN QUALIFICATIONS for leaders within the church to be the HEAD of all the churches. Nope, depraved men were responsible for the depraved Popes sitting where they did. They allowed it because of their own greed and depravity. And they are ALL yours, the Reformers like the earliest believers would have never tolerated such!

[metmom]

Elsie’s list of logical fallacies in post 92 is also very helpful, along with his Scripture verses about no other Rock but Jesus.

Elsie is a wealth of Scripture passages.

[verga]

So you are coming back to the Catholic Church, Jesus will be excited.

[Elsie]

Did you mean this for ME?

And for standing up for righteousness and against the evil and depravity that infested the Catholic church, those who didn't want to hear it, ex-communicated Luther.

So much for the gates of hell not prevailing against the Catholic church.

Looks like they were prevailing just fine.

[verga]

I asked you to present them, you said they existed, yet didn’t. ergo they do not exist. When you ask Catholics for evidence, we present it and you ignore it. You failed epically.

[Elsie]

How come you can't answer my question, Verga?

He's too busy praying that you'll come to Christ some day.
