God wants to put His Life in the believers, so, believe on Him Whom God sent to be Savior and Lord in the now, and God will right then cleanse you from all unrighteousness and put His Holy Spirit seal in you to raise the born from above in the Way that they should go. Eternal life is a now thing, not in some future hallmarked by striving to obtain eternal life. The thing that prevents God form putting His life in us is our unwillingness to believe He does it all and we just say thank you Lord Jesus and let God be God in us.
The catholic Mass mocks the blood of Jesus Christ. His shed blood is not magically transubstantiated into a wafer in the hands of a catholic priest on catholic altar. It was much too precious for such pagan ritual. Mocking the Blood of The Savior is a very very risky business and risks God saying someday 'I never knew you'.
Why is the catholic Mass mocking the blood of Jesus? ... It asserts that you must eat His body, blood, soul and DIVINITY to have His life in you --that's a works based belief system, believing you can do something often enough to earn eternal life-- and using as a pagan idol worshipping feeding on the spiritual meaning of His blood shed for the remission of your sins contradicts what He used His blood to accomplish for you on the Mercy Seat above the laws of sin and death.
Jesus instituted a remembrance of His work, not ours. catholiciism is a works based religion. It does not lead to eventual eternal life because ONLY the work of Jesus in cleansing and sealing results in eternal life during this New Covenant.
The comment which you made was all about the OP of this thread, rather than about the subject matter.
Jesus said, “I am the way, the life and the truth.”
That is the Catholic truth we believe in.
Is it the fact that they were the executioners of the Lamb, or the fact that a Roman emperor adulterated Christianity with Babylonian paganism?"
You mean it's those evil boll-weevil "anti-catholics" which makes the RCC [allegedly] "holy"?
There's some screwball thinking, rightchar'...
Let's try to focus again on what else was being said (in the OP), shall we?
"And Herman Pottmeyer notes that “the historical facts are not disputed”. This overall picture simply lacks anything resembling a papacy. Moreover, it includes features that are antithetical to such a thing. So the burden of proof rests heavily on the Catholic to establish the historical claim that Peter was primate of Rome and was succeeded by a continuing office. Yet there seems no possible way for them to shoulder that burden."
Good work mom.
Do you feel a 2 Thess 2:11 moment coming on?
IIRC christian pilgrims were going to Rome as early as the late 1st century to see the burial places of peter and Paul. The Catholic Church claims Peter is buried underneath the basilica which as part of the hillside cemetery levels off to build the church. (see Scavi tour).
For what it worth. Don’t ask for depth or history from me. I’m a part-time observer and appreciate your post.
an you information be interpreted as there was a head of the church who had a council of elders?
can your
bed, look for replies tomorrow. Thanx
Mmm, could be!
Thug ping?
No.
I like you, but you were, and still are here again, out-of-line, out of order.
Speak to the subject matter, if possible.
I know Christ period. When I do the creeds in faith. The creeds are said in prayer in all thoseprayers. 1 John 4. I know. Your lost in understanding. I hope your not lost at all that’s up to God. Thing is do you want to understand even after you heard it all before to just go and on? Maybe it’s time for a thug ping? Let’s get the gang? Ask yourself is this childish? Just amazing. How it goes the same. Too much nonsense?
You and I will never fool God. Always come clean. Period. The condescending act here is amazing on both sides. Remember when we act like a lawyer all the time Jesus hated the words of self righteous religious lawyers of his earthly time.
Take your own advice.
Yeah.
Most juries would like to see SOME kind of evidence during a trial...
It’s the fact that so many deceived Catholics believe ridiculous myths like “Mary is alive in heaven and you'd better pray to HER if you want Jesus' attention."
Then please post what IS the 'truth'.
The jury awaits...
So are JW's gonna lose out?
