I never said I don't like Trump.....You don't like Trump? Are you better off now or when Trump was in office?

I never said I don't like Trump.....You don't like Trump? Are you better off now or when Trump was in office?
How about if you address the questions I asked instead of making something up:You don't like Trump? Are you better off now or when Trump was in office?
How about if you address the questions I asked instead of making something up:
Is it faith alone or grace alone?
Lol.....how could you have addressed it when this is the first time I asked you for clarification? For you see Charlie, you have said two different things....that is why I asked that question.Address the same thing over and over, naaa!
Trump's more fun, but unfortunately off topic.

Keeping it real...Mary
Lol...Yup, "the Catholics have misunderstood it".....and of course our Protestant brothers who agree with that 2,000 year old Catholic teaching... misunderstood it also.Everyone here knows I have covered the faith and works that James spoke of, how the Catholics have misunderstood it.
And everyone here knows I have covered Acts 2:38 and 1 Peter 3:21 also, several times!
So don't tell me you haven't seen those posts!
Lol...Yup, "the Catholics have misunderstood it".....and of course our Protestant brothers who agree with that 2,000 year old Catholic teaching... misunderstood it also.
And a student of the Apostles, Clement of Rom, misunderstood it also: “Let us therefore join with those to whom grace is given by God. Let us clothe ourselves in concord, being humble and self- controlled, keeping ourselves far from all backbiting and slander, being justified by works and not by words....
On the other hand, YOU have not misunderstood it ;)
You asked me not to tell you I haven't seen those posts, so I won't tell you I haven't seen those posts!!
Lol....OK!! A student of the Apostles was wrong and your men, 2,000 years later are right!!Yes, they are playing with fire and they're going to get burned.

The thing is they are NOT OPPOSITE of one another . That is a key many miss my friend .Ok, but remember that you are disobeying one apostle (Paul) who makes his stand perfectly clear.
The one you are obeying (James), that's much harder to understand, isn't it?
Better find out why it seems they are opposite of one another, is my advise?
There is a love which cometh not of GOD but rather is of the world and of the dragon .
AND i warn us all that most all of the entire realm of christendom as well as the world IS UNDER that false love .
Its a love that overlooks errors , its a love that focuses on unity and common ground , NOT ON CHRIST and NOT ON DOCTRINE .
AND MOST FOLKS ARE UNDER IT RIGHT NOW . But i have come to wage war against the false love
that so many now embrace and to point us back to the LOVE THAT IS OF GOD and not of the dragon .
And notice what CHURCH GOD calls RICH .It is the Laodicea Church, the last Church of Rev. 3. They are neither hot nor cold, and will be spued out of His mouth.
It is today's Church. They say they are rich, and in need of nothing, but what does Christ say?
You are wretched, miserable, poor, and naked. They are naked before the judgment of God.
Lets examine what the LORD tells the church of ephesus that was good .It is the Laodicea Church, the last Church of Rev. 3. They are neither hot nor cold, and will be spued out of His mouth.

Jesus built ONE Church (Matt. 16:18) – not tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering Protestant factions that ALL teach different doctrines.Lets examine what the LORD tells the church of ephesus that was good .
HE said YE have TRIED THEM which claim to be apostels and are not and you have FOUND them liars .
I bring that up cause , I KNOW OF a CHURCH that claims to be THE CHURCH and THAT ITS APOSTELS are APOSTELS
and guess what , I HAVE FOUND THEM LIARS . TOO many are just going with the flow and NOT TESTING THEIR LEADERS .
JESUS DID BUILD the CHURCH and i dont follow them splinters either . TOLD YA . ME no follow them either .Jesus built ONE Church (Matt. 16:18) – not tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering Protestant factions that ALL teach different doctrines.
The Catholic Church is the ONLY one that fits this bill – whether YOU approve or not.
Those who reject His Church deny HIM and the ONE who sent Him (Luke 10:16).
They will be included with the ones to whom the Lord will say:
“I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.” (Matt. 7:23)
Good luck with that . . .
Mat. 10:33
". . . but whoever denies me before men, I will ALSO DENY before my Father who is in heaven.
The same Catholic Church that gave us the crusades, the inquisition, sold indulgences and imprisoned, strangled and burned people who translated the Bible into English?Jesus built ONE Church (Matt. 16:18) – not tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering Protestant factions that ALL teach different doctrines.

If it weren’t for the Crusades and ultimate victory over the later Ottoman Empire at Lepanto – YOU would be worshipping Allah and steeped in Islam.The same Catholic Church that gave us the crusades, the inquisition, sold indulgences and imprisoned, strangled and burned people who translated the Bible into English?
You don't know what I am. Thanks for the information about indulgences but history is not on your sideIf it weren’t for the Crusades and ultimate victory over the later Ottoman Empire at Lepanto – YOU would be worshipping Allah and steeped in Islam.
You don’t have a CLUE about the Inquisitions. If you DID – we could have an intelligent discussion about them. But that’s impossible until you get educated.
As for killing heretics – not only was this mostly done by governments – it was done against Catholics by Protestants as well.
So, if you wanna point fingers – there is PLENTY of blood on YOUR hands asa well as a Protestant.
Finally – as to the selling of Indulgences – you are at the mercy of your own ignorance.
The Church NEVER sanctioned this practice. It was an ABUSE by a few men like Johann Tetzel, who went about the German countryside selling indulgences to raise money.
This practice was condemned by the Church.
Do your homework . . .
