Hatred Converted Me To Catholicism

Whenever God does ANYTHING in this world, He is opposed and hated. Anything at all. If God makes His mark, here on Earth, either the Devil tries to wreck it, or Satan inspires his children to do so. This disdain for all creation and any constructive thing is an anti-Logos, pernicious spirit of ruin. This deep brand of hate is a religious way of thinking, and this feeling can be as shallow or go as deep as it wants. The hate I’m talking about can be a subtle inclination, or it can be an overt obsession. For example, you can be either a Soviet-minded Bolshevist, or you could simply be a vandalizer—you’re serving the Evil Cause in some capacity.

Hey, elsie,

got any of those pics showing Roman Catholics showing their love towards the protestants?

The writer of this article seems to think RCs have been the only ones who have been "hated" in history.

Stop posting to this thread Ebb is merely wanting to start another cat fight.

Lord, keep us strong. Keep us bold and filled with love for our enemies and for all those who are troubled and in need of healing. Never allow us to hide or to be concerned for our own safety, but rather concerned only that your glorious and Holy Name bring healing and grace, conviction for our sins, repentance, and therefore mercy. Help us, Lord, to stay faithful, courageous, and bold no matter the threats, the hardships, the persecution, and even the ruthless attempts at suppression. May no one who looks at us conclude anything less than that we “have been with Jesus. -Dr. Mary Healy

Amen

Hatred made me leave the Catholic Church.

[MuttTheHoople]

Over the centuries, the Catholics dished it out as well...

I am a Protestant. However, if one confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord, is going to heaven. When we all get to Heaven, THAT is where the Perfect Church will be.

For now, I believe that Catholics and Protestants sniping at each other, when we should be united against the evils of this world (Islam, Communism, etc.).

[metmom]

Luke 18:9-14 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’

But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

[Pontiac]

And finally, here in North America, we had the Protestant English, who in their perpetual protest against apostolic authority, saw fit for 300 years to wage physical and cultural war to drive out the Spanish and French Catholics from this realm, clearing the field to make way for a Hebraic -Puritan oligarchy that we now know as the United States.

I will disagree with this statement.

Christianity of any form in the United States has all but been banished to the dark corners of the United States.

For any Christian morality to be uttered in public is to bring down on your head such vitriol as to make one crawl in to the nearest sewer to escape.

Even a few Catholic Bishops might join in on the attacks if you speak out against the LBGT mafia using Christian dogma.

The First Amendment and Free Speech are all but dead.

Trouble reading and comprehending again?

I don't see where you get that in the article at all.

Maybe the most hated but defiantly not the only hated.

Almost all Christians are hated, just not equally

you're not jealous are you?

Thank you!

“No prophecy of Scripture is a matter of ones own interpretation.”

outstanding, welcome.

...clearing the field to make way for a Hebraic -Puritan oligarchy that we now know as the United States.

Really? Is that how Jesus would look at this country as originally founded? A "Hebraic - Puritan oligarchy?"

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Love for the Savior converted me from Roman Catholicism to Christianity.

[Big Red Badger]

Interesting
Thread.

[AndyJackson]

make way for a Hebraic -Puritan oligarchy

Read David Hackett Fisher's book "Albion's Seed" especially the section on Puritans. You will discover that the Puritans were not actually very puritanical.

Why? Are you afraid of exposing the hatred, once again, elsie?

[Zionist Conspirator]

The author was also converted to anti-Semitism at the same time. His article indirectly mentions the Jews twice and contains a hyperlink to an anti-Semitic web site.

There was already a true religion and already an accursed nation. Neither one needed to be replaced.

[softengine]

Thank you. One day I need to share with you the story of how I spent a lifetime in the Baptist church without hearing what I needed to hear, but did hear eventually.. Driving on I-95 on a snowy evening, in heavy traffic, on the world's baldest tires, with no auto insurance. When Ravi Zacharias came on the radio, followed by John MacArthur, and I heard what my heart had longed to hear for so long.

The Lord builds HIS church by His means, in His own time.
