Unlike the pope, this story has legs?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Pope has no legs? Who knew?
You asked has He opened mine…. Absolutely. Does that mean I am perfect and no longer sin…. Well, in Gods eyes He counts me as sinless as Christ, but only because of His gift of Grace, I sin everyday, and confess directly to Him and know that His Grace applies to me and the Holy Spirit will continue to help me grow.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..
Yep, no doubt about it, such self-assurance is a very comforting thing isn’t it? But see Matt. 7:21; Heb. 9:27.
Same churches that wave rainbow flags and put out BLM signs.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...
Precisely so. Also the same churches that condone homosexual deviancy, and infanticide!
UMMM SHE, SHE????? I certainly hope that is a typo!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Actually it was a typo, though I commonly use the feminine pronoun for Satan!
Would that be like The Three Tenors?

Is the Church even supposed to have a pope, or call someone father? Let me check the Bible to see what God’s word says….
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
That statement made me laugh because obviously you think that checking the Bible enables you to see what God’s word says, yet you and millions of others who do so come away arguing about a multitude of understandings about what God’s word says! Thus we have a new protestant church popping up on the street corners of the world with great frequency. Hilarious!
Repent to be saved, and follow the real living Spirit wherever He is to be found.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..
Huh?
it is quite conservative and biblical.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..
Really? How so?
make no mistake - far too many Catholic Churches have gone all in for this garbage too.

I love to hear those Tenors sing!
The Vatican is definitely spectacular. WELL worth visiting.

No question about it! The Catholic Church is collapsing like a wet tent in a hurricane!
Nope.
Just a believer led out of Babylon by the Word Made Flesh.. With eyes wide open that only He gives.
Unashamed of the gospel, even the first/chief importance of the gospel, as Paul taught it.
And armed with the Scriptures, His Word, which is Truth, for Sanctification in Truth.
Enjoy the Father’s 6th day today. A day He created the remaining animals and man.
The 21st day of His month, whether one tells time as in Noah’s or Moses’ day.
Satan calls it Tiws day. Name of some false god..
In the world’s High and Holy month of Pride..
I’m okay with being a little odd in the eyes of others.
I see things a little different, for sure.
But that’s from Him, not me.
He gets the Glory.
It was one of these things where I had made a spaghetti and meatball dinner. We were visiting my husband’s parents. We were in the kitchen of his parents home in Lavallette, summer, the house was from 1927 and the kitchen was very pretty, window over the sink, old fashioned cabinets with glass in them. We had turned off the overhead light because it was summer but the light in the kitchen during and Indian summer sundown time was beautiful.
We were having a glass of wine (or two) and he began to tell of his trip to the Vatican. He detailed the trip slowly going over it in his mind of all the wonderful things he saw there, and I was rather speechless. I had no idea of all the things there he was telling me. It was mesmerizing, and then he got to telling of St. Peter’s Basilica.
I’ll never forget his recalling of what a fabulous place it was and his kind of astonishment at realizing he was there where Peter was laid to rest.
Your understanding of the Reformation is very, very limited and predjudiced. The Reform movement places responsibility (for seeking God, confessing, repenting, rejoicing, giving personal thanks, praise and supplications) into the hearts and minds of the individual, with Christ as our only mediator between the believer and God.
We do not believe that works qualify you for salvation, but that faith and grace alone open that door; good works that you may do are evidence of salvation, not a means to salvation. We are free to find a congregation that teaches the Word of God. How do we know whether it is true or not? By studying the Bible continually throughout our lives, meditatiing and praying on its meaning and asking God to guide us as He would have us go and do.
We are not spoon-fed religious duties by a religion nor our salvation through traditions, nor do we look to rituals in order to confess our weaknesses and draw inspiration as we personally talk to God in prayer—the veil was torn at the moment of Christ’s death. Christ’s atoning sacrifice frees us to seek a direct relationship with Him, and to know that His Spirit is always there to guide us.
The Almightly Triune God is our pope and king, eternal and unchanging. Christ and His Spirit know every fiber of our being, our every thought, word and action. This world and all that is in it will pass away. The soul that is saved will live forever in the pure, Divine Love that never ends. We live to be more like Christ every day.
Laugh all you want.
Laugh all you want.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Laugh? Not at all. I’m in agreement with almost every point you’ve made. Many Catholics would do well to conform their beliefs and their spiritual lives to your own.

Guess Heb 9:27 doesn’t apply to you then?
