Archbishop Fulton Sheen once wrote: “There are not over a hundred people in the United State who hate the Roman Catholic Church; there are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church.”
I was one of those who hated because of what I wrongly believed about the Catholic Church. The reason I had these beliefs was due to being told what to believe about the Catholic Church from those who were told what to believe about the Catholic Church. No one was willing to find out what the bottom line was concerning the Catholic Church. Everything said about the Church was taken as truth while it seemed no one was delving into what the truth really was.
What about these Catholics? They worshipped Mary. They had a religion but not a relationship with Jesus Christ. They said they believed in God but really their belief couldn’t be the same, could it? The Bible says in James 2:19 KJV “Thou believest that there is one God; Thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble”.
So do Catholics have a belief such as the devils? When most Catholics are asked if they have been “born again” or “have accepted Christ as their Savior”, their main response is “I believe in God” or “I am a good person”, or “I’m Catholic”. Also, they have all these rituals, Saints, Statues and what about the Pope is he really standing in for God? Another big item, are they cannibals when they eat the bread and drink the wine during communion? Why do they leave Jesus on the cross, don’t they realize Jesus has risen from the dead?

LOL!
Are you one of the two that might probably wouldn’t understand most of it?
Grammar is all over the place today!
That is ok. I do not remember it and, as usual, I learned a lot.

Good grief...you post some of the strangest things.....

Finally...your magnificent arguements are down to typo's....brilliant....and about as deep as anything you've said.
So you have nothing except personal insults?
Fixed it for you
That's because spiritual truths are spiritually discerned and the man without the Spirit cannot understand them.
1 Corinthians 1:18-31 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written,“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”
Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
1 Corinthians 2:1-16 And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But, as it is written,
“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”—
these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.
The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
That's a keeper for when the RC's start in with being grammar and spelling police.
But if you have total free will and you still sin who is influencing you to sin? Is it your will to sin or are you being influenced by someone else and give up your free will?

Last reply, for the lurkers since the prots can’t understand this: Big difference between being the fully controlled automatons that prots claim we are and influenced by our human nature.
Scripture clearly teaches that it’s Satan who tempts us verga.
So personal insults as a last resort are approved by Catholics? Same ol' same ol', building on the insults. Nice
Mental agility doesn't have to be used or forced by "prots" or even Christians (I am not a protestant), it just happens because the leading of the Holy Spirit works much better.
You can have the use of semantic mental gymnastics.

Ditto dat!
(sorry for the delay, web page crashed when “post” pushed.)
It's only the Catholic Church that agrees they serve the same god as the Muslims. The rest of us realize it's not the same God at all.How many Gods do you suppose there are?
There is no supposing.
There is the God of Christians, and the god of this world, satan.
Islam follow satan as their "god."
Your pope says it's the same "God" that Catholics have. Do the math.
Muslims lied to him (the pope) and he believed them apparently.
"typo's" LOL!
One trick ponies can lecture on diagraming a sentence, but don't have a handle on word usage, re plurals, spilling (maybe that will "sic" them on that word :>) etc.
At least when I make a mistake with the word thypo, I do it for the fun of it...
