"But Tim, there are real Christians in the Roman Catholic Church!"

You seem to have done off on a tangent where you interpret biblical passages to suit your needs and desires VS what they really mean.

Trent...

[Elsie]

We Wesleyans have a chunk of bread; what a concept!

[Elsie]

Yeah, I knew that...gold would have been prettier...I forgot.

There we have it folks; someone ALWAYS wants to improve on what GOD has said.

[Elsie]

I have no idea what a small number of priests who are homosexual have to do with anything....(homosexuality is not a sin)...but it figures that you would point them out.

Looks like you've 'forgotten' a wee bit more than the type of material a snake was made of!

Genesis 13:13

[Elsie]

People on both sides of this fight have been the brunt of bad treatment.

I have delivered some; I have received some.

[Elsie]

Don’t you get even a little twinge of ‘oh my! Christ the omnipotent God bows his head upon command from the Priest?

Why not?

The Catholic 'savior' will do whatever his Mommy tells him to do; so I ask again, "Why not?"

[Elsie]

Catholics did not add it.

Matthew 23:24
You blind guides!
You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel!

---

You want to toss out ALONE but swallow ASSUMPTION!

AMAZING bit of logic there!

[Elsie]

It's been said here many times that all this so-called bickering distracts us from the real threats.ie:islam,isis etc.

Once again; DEATH tries to say that IT is 'really' what we all should fear; NOT false teaching.

[Elsie]

So, YOU are the judge of millions of Catholics?

So, ROME is the judge of millions of PROTESTants??

[tioga]

Official teaching of “Rome” is that Jesus is our only judge. Do not project your opinions on us as facts.

[Elsie]

If one were to respond to such obvious insults as in post #226...

Which was in response to: Around here, all we get is the acrimony.

[Elsie]

If someone tries to lure me into a dark alley for a fight; I don’t go.

[Elsie]

Do not project your opinions on us as facts.

"One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours." — Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215)

Therefore, if anyone says that it is not by the institution of Christ the lord himself (that is to say, by divine law) that blessed Peter should have perpetual successors in the primacy over the whole Church; or that the Roman Pontiff is not the successor of blessed Peter in this primacy: let him be anathema. — Vatican 1, Ses. 4, Cp. 1

Opinions???

[xzins]

Have you been paying attention tot he signposts? Do you need oli for your lamp?

Misspelling in post #233 aside, it is always interesting to contemplate religionists' attempts to insult others in their 'subtle' ways using their religion. However, if one were familiar with such things, it wouldn't be very subtle at all. Many of us are surprised when a hypothetical cowardly person might resort to such things even in an astute crowd of people, all of whom would know what would be going on.

[Elsie]

Official teaching of “Rome” is that Jesus is our only judge.

Then why so many FR Catholics that are constantly bringing up binding and loosing?

[xzins]

You would do better to heed Paul’s word:

Php 1: 15Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will; 16the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel;…

[tioga]

Perhaps instead of believing what you read on the internet you look it up in the Catechism of the Roman Catholic church. There are plenty of falsehoods out there, go to the source.

[xzins]

All we get around here is acrimony....do you really take issue with that???

In any case, that wasn’t directed to the one who replied with the insult. Besides being a general comment about these incited Catholic/Protestant exchanges on Free Republic, it was made in a conversation with an entirely different person.

So...to speak to your point...It WAS not in response. That person hadn’t been addressed at all in that post.

[impimp]

Your reply is one big long cut and paste, which is rude. And you don’t even give the source for the cut and paste.
