About the only think i can draw is my breath!
lol
I was born and grew up in a small town south of Tupelo, MS and attended Mssissippi State University. An ancestor was from Palantine which I think was in Germany. Another was from Alsace-Lorraine. The one from Palantine was a Lutheran. Not too many of those around that area either. I have ancestors from Ireland, Scotland, England, Russia, plus a few others. One of my great grandmothers was a Cherokee. She and her children were offered land in Indian Territory but turned it down. It is odd that none were Catholic from those countries. Oh, 2 families came over on the Mayflower so we have been here a long time. I think their names were Allerton and Brewster. Their kids married later.
I couldn't agree with you more!!!!! However, remember that the Catholic Church is the only organization on Earth to have the authority to interpret scripture. You can see what happened when Luther, Calvin, Zwingley, Henry VIII, The Wesley brothers , etc. decided to interpret things for themselves...what could possibly go wrong??
in my very long life, I have NEVER seen a Catholic teaching proven false......never.
yeah right.....please
so the hundreds of billions of humans that God created, who had no knowledge whatsoever of who or what Jesus Christ was, are condemned to an eternity of fire and pain in Hell...go ahead and believe such nonsense if you wish, but God wouldn't create any of His children and condemn them to hell with no recourse.......period.
“I couldn’t agree with you more!!!!! However, remember that the Catholic Church is the only organization on Earth to have the authority to interpret scripture.”
Actually, you will find that no where in Scripture. It is self-awarded legitimacy. You may truly believe it. Great. No one outside your denomination does.

I agree that the recovery of the Gospel of Grace was a wonderful blessing by Luther and others who came later!
I can also see the problems in history of the RC church and what it ended up believing.
our ignorance of Catholic teachings is quite apparent!!
your ignorance of Catholic teachings is quite apparent!!

Really???!!!
your ignorance of Catholic teachings is quite apparent!!
I grew up in a Catholic household.
You mentioned “our ignorance” in your previous post.
Do tell!!!
However, remember that the Catholic Church is the only organization on Earth to have the authority to interpret scripture.
Is that why Catholics make stuff up?
Catholics aren’t as screwy as the Mormons but that’s not from lack of trying!
By the way, God owns God’s word. Catholics ought to ease up on the arrogance.

Romans 1:18-21 addresses this.
18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.
20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
21For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
I think we've already proven this statement wrong regarding our conversation on venial and mortal sins. you may not choose to accept it but it has been proven wrong.
there are many other topics of catholicism that have been proven wrong on FR as well.
your ignorance of Catholic teachings is quite apparent!!
no way to square away catholic teaching on Mary with the Bible. none whatsoever.
That’s a very interesting post to this “fundamentalist”.
” in my very long life, I have NEVER seen a Catholic teaching proven false......never. “
Add to this that the blind rarely see much of anything. They wish they could. It is those who can see, but don’t want to that are alarming.
Sorry you have been infirm, but glad for your joy in the Lord.
Death is death.
