Thank you.:) At least we now have evidence of anti-Protestant bigotry. You and BoL one and the same are now unable to play the victim card.
Are this mean and ugly with Catholics at your Saturday morning prayer meeting? You come into a forum and act like a rabid animal. The Protestant Inquisition is a well documented treatise with an extensive bibliography, featuring Protestant and secular historians. FACTS are not "anti-Protestant bigotry." You are scared of the evidence and I don't think you even bothered to read the link. You just knee-jerk react because to can't face reality.
Furthermore, I have demonstrated, using official Catholic teaching, the the CC is NOT anti-Protestant. We are not your enemy, you just want us to be.
Thank you again.

You'll be in confession for the above hate screed of course .
Of course .
What hateful screed? Another lie with no proof.
I know many catholics and non catholics who get along.. We have catholics in a saturday morning prayer meeting we have..
Do you spit in their faces at the prayer meeting, or just in forums?

It doesn't matter what denomination you choose to belong to, except in as much as some have more truth than others, are better equipped for mission work than others, and are oriented more toward holistic health than others.
Salvation isn't denominational. There are genuine sincere Christians in every denomination, and in non denominational ranks also. The final analysis belongs to God.
"Here are they that keep the Commandments of God and have the testimony, and the faith, of Jesus". Revelation 12:17; 14:12.
Communism/Totalitarianism is the spirit of anti-christ.
And that spirit (although it isn't necessarily communism, a political theory) isn't manifested solely in left wing institutions. I think we have more to fear from right wing conservative institutions who seek government aid in enforcing their beliefs. Remember, the wall antichristos literally means instead of, in the room of Christ. Thus anything, or any belief system, that at it's epicenter has core beliefs that replace Christ and inserts self instead, is Antichrist. This can be reflected in individuals yes. But prophetically and as pertaining to these last days and a global institutional Antichrist system, then we need look no further than Rome and her current goals and intentions to rule and reign over the whole earth. Instead of Christ.

I have no problem with disagreement, I have a problem with your mean, ugly persecutions that aren't based in reality.
I have no problem with endless lies and misrepresentations, I have a problem with uneducated fundies who are too proud to be corrected of their Ku Klux Klan theology. Speaking of being spit on...

I don't mean to say you are the same as these relativist liberals, just down the street from them.
Your particularly vile version of anti-Catholicism is a religious and mental sickness, close to the SDA.
Any sensible, reasonable discussion with you is impossible.
Even when we agree with you, we're still wrong.
I suggest you tell your doctor how you feel about the CC, I'm sure he will give you a referral.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. Well, it was pleasant for me to read John chapter 6 as it answered some question as to the nature of the bread and wine. And it's nice to know that Jesus rose to heaven to bring us the comforter which is the Holy Spirit. I think at any time he can give us the eternal life probably. We already have the Holy Ghost with us.
You hit on a truth many are unaware of, and which the Catholic faith replaces. Jesus is our sole Mediator and ministers in the heavenly sanctuary as our sole High Priest and intercessor. It is to Him and through Him alone we come to the Father. Anything else replaces Christ, removes Him as our only Mediator between ourselves and God, and is Antichrist.

Peter was the only one of Jesus disciples whom he called "Satan", the only one he called a stumbling block, and the only one who denied him three times.
Heb. 12:6
". . . because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son."

And Peter is also the ONLY one who -
- Jesus singled out and gave the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven (Matt. 16:18-19).
- Jesus to feed His lambs and tend His sheep (John 21:15-19).
- Jesus prayed to strengthen the others and bring them back to faith (Luke 22:31-32).
- Is specified by an
angel as the leader and representative of the apostles (Mark 16:7)
- Cornelius is told by an angel to seek out for instruction in Christianity (Acts 10:1-6)

Deception.

GASLIGHTING.

Projection.

Wolf in Sheep's clothing.

Twisting the narrative

False Prophet

False Witness

Imagine writing a letter or 2 about yourself except attributing the meaning of the letter onto someone else.
And those that read it believe that you are talking about someone else when you are really talking about yourself.

That's like saying the Democrats accusing the Republicans of wanting to steal an election, even though it was themselves that truly stole it.

Now you have a choice. You can believe the Democrats or you can believe the Republicans.
Problem is you only listen to one side of the story.
So that version of the story is true to you, even though in truth it is not.

How can you tell the difference when the deception is so thick, it can almost decieve the entire world. Universal even.

Ye shall know them by their fruits.

This is directed at no one.
Just thinking out loud.

You behave as an enemy of Protestants here. As you claim to be a Catholic.

I know many RC's. You're not one. You use the church as a launchpad for your hate of Christians.

The RCC is pagan. It's history is proof of this. It is also contrary to all that Jesus taught.

Actual Christians know this.
Actual RCC's don't behave as you and BoL do to defend against that.

Why?
Because they "know" it isn't true. That's why they don't behave in ways that would need a great deal of time in the confessional afterward.

Another fact that proves you are also not fooling anyone.


The more Christians pay attention to you and BoL the more you'll sin.

And we'll be responsible for that because feeding devil's is unwarranted. Their Hell should be where they are left........ Alone.

Isa 45:1
Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
Isa 45:2
I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
Isa 45:3
And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
Isa 45:4
For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
Isa 45:5
I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
Isa 45:6
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
Isa 45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Another post, oozing with ignorance . . .
I reported that post, pleading with the mods to close the thread on the grounds that it's degenerated into another bash-fest. I don't expect any favors, I just want the same protection granted to everybody else on this "Christian" forum.

According the the apostles themselves they said to flee men who teach falsehoods .
You said....nor the errors within the protestant realm either . Unity with those who love and follow CHRIST
not unity with those who seduce and teach falsehoods .

Do a study on perspectives and how they influence your reality and everyone's reality from their own personal perspective.
First you have to know what is false. Odds are very good that your own personal beliefs are full of falsehoods.

There are and still is a remnant who have not bowed the knee to the error or ROME
Explain what you think would have happened if Emperor Constantine would not have befriended Christianity.
Do you think anything like the Ecumenical Councils would happened? 30,000 denominations is not a standardization, nor is it one Church.

Surely you know that there are people that think you...me...anybody are false teachers, it is all a matter of perspective.
The Catholic Church is the oldest and largest Christian Church in this world, that alone does not mean it is wrong.

A witness to an event that is a few feet from it is more reliable than a witness three miles away....that is the difference between the Catholic Church and the Protestants. Their focus and lineage from Peter is just wrong....but not far off....their lineage came from all of the Apostles with no focus no Peter. We have some of writings from the disciples of the Apostles and they lead to the Bishops that were corresponding for nearly 300 years and then attended the Roman Ecumenical Councils. The Roman Catholic Church is "the" lineage from the Apostles.

The Protestants cannot say that.....1500 years later they picked up a set of Bibles that were full of errors and tried to understand it and they are still trying to understand it. And if they keep using the King James Version they will never understand the scriptures or Christianity. Of course I am not saying the Catholics got it right either, their focus on politics and power distracted them from seeking the truth and that lead to some very bad things.....but all the Good Deeds they did and are doing gets lost in all that. And then the Protestant arrived on the scene and produced religions that see Good Deeds as irrelevant. Why would we want to follow the examples that Christ set? LOL Not to act like followers of Christ.

That why I say that as far as theology....they are all in the same boat. Now did God ever think that we would get it entirely right? No! But at least we can act like Christians and love one another. At this point we do not have to agree....how could that happen?

I prefer to remember Christ with the Bread and Wine Ritual but I still stand with the Protestants at times and eat crackers and Kool-Aid but the Catholic Host thing I have no use for, but I still fellowship and worship with both the Catholics and Protestants. Why? They are Christians and they love Christ and I love them.

And as far as Christian study....memorizing the scriptures is a good thing.....knowing what they mean is better....but learning the Spirit of Christ is the best. Because without it the scriptures are going to lead you to an empty religion that is not a reflection of Christ.
