It’s sad to see what the Catholic Church has stolen from so many.
Not sure where that came from??? Comments like these only point out how little Romanists understand Evangelical Protestants
As for trying to convince anyone to come to Christ ...I will quote the oft quoted John 6
44"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. 45"It is written in the prophets, 'AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.
CynicalBear: Ill add my welcome! And dont be shy! Jump right!
Doubling down on mocking, how unusual. Nothing but tawdry gimmicks by angry children displaying the true fruits of their path.
Yeah, that brings lots of people to Christ. Never fails, being motivated by love and all.
Welcoming someone is now mocking?? Who knew?
People do not need an "excuse" not to come to Christ...they hate the Christ of the bible..
His "disciples" show forth so much hatred that "people" never even get the chance to hate Him. I mean seriously, who, upon accidentally tripping into the RF, would want any of what we have to offer? Much less anything to do with Who we say we're acting for...
I’m not sure either since it takes someone with a history on FR to be aware of CB’s position on Easter and Christmas, and all of a sudden a “noob” comes on the scene and starts in on CB about it.
Color me suspicious.....
The projection runs deep in this one......
If the conversion of anyone depended on our behavior no one would ever be saved, because we are all sinners .... remember what Jesus said ""No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day."...The drawing is the work of the Father ..bust as the saving is the work of the Son ..
Too many think the music in the church, or a "hip" pastor in jeans or works of charity will draw people to Christ ....nope that is a work of God..not a work of men
Those comments sounded eerily familiar didn't they. Retread saving face?
People get saved in spite of us not because of us.
Thank God the Holy Spirit in us is what does it.
Amen
Now there's a class act.....mommie would be so proud....PATHETIC
Taking bread in His hands, He broke it, gave it to His diciples and said"TAKE AND EAT OF THIS...THIS IS MY BODY"...
I fail to see where there is any confusion there.....disbelief maybe....but not confusion...rejection maybe...but no confusion....plain english (in this case)
WOW...does that set a record????
23 posts in and we have the naughty Pope list
Jesus is still a Catholic.
Nah, like the rest of His group, He converted to the religion that He founded...Ethnically Jewish of course.
Now there's a class act.....mommie would be so proud....PATHETIC
Why would I want a reminder of an ordeal I wanted no part of? This was all my mother's doing. Nobody ever asked me my opinion. Protestants believe in letting the individual make the choice at an age when they willingly participate after having made an informed choice. What's pathetic is your condescending response to my decision to not accept catholicism. Not everyone is a mindless robot who accepts something just because a parent did.
Speaking of goats...
Don’t let Jack and the gang see THIS!

Job 21:3
"Bear with me that I may speak;
Then after I have spoken, you may mock.
