Because Catholic don’t speak Gods truth......you see being Born Again from your own perspective and teaching, I’m not bashing you I’m posting facts.

You don’t understand the Living witness, the Holy Spirit?

From reading their answers , including your answers.

They “ you” have yet to answer my questions?

This is the 3 rd time I have asked?

Anyway we best stay on topic...will leave it there.

Thus far, I've answered your questions from the opening post. You would now like me to answer your questions in posts #13, #16, and #17. However, you say that my Christian (Catholic) answers to your questions pertaining to the Christian (Catholic) Church aren't facts, and that we do not speak God's Truth. Therefore, why are you feigning to want to know answers from us?

You are correct.
The disclaimer was: This is not to be a Catholic bashing thread but....... it's intent is verified by the poster of this thread !

The devil as an "angel of light" said to Eve " ..but ye shall not surely die"......same form of subtilty noted. I would refrain from being hooked by the devil's bait and lines ❤️

You started talking about being Born Again and what it means, then I started discussing that with you, it’s off topic, if you want to discuss being Born Again by the Living Holy Spirit, then go onto another thread that discusses it..not on this thread any further thanks.

This topic is about why.

The poster went off topic, now, if one starts talking about being Born Again, then that is a completely different subject. I didn’t bash him, I asked him questions for which he could not answer?

I too went off topic......

Best stick to the subject matter, this is not about.

To be "born again "means to become like a child (Matt.18:3), whereas "born of the Spirit" means to receive within our soul the nature of God: love (1 Jn. 4:7-13, Gal. 5:22), and neither means that one will become immune to the temptation of evil.
Here we go, you started the discussion about being Born Again....then I got involved also with this....it’s not about being Born Again and what you think it means...therefore please including me stick to the topic.

There are plenty of places on this board where you can discuss what it means to be Born Of The Spirit...

Start your own subject on it if you like...you may then be able to answer all of the questions I asked you.on that subject.

To me watching the pope being driven around in an open top car. etc, waving to the public, what is that if he isn’t being revered by some of the general public?

Why is he being driven around, then the crowds gathering?

Then they also kiss his hands even his feet I’ve heard, who do they think he is.....” GOD”.?

Why do they kiss his hands?

Why do some people take pictures of them kissing his hand, then frame it, my friend had one such picture of her mother doing just that?

Short commentary.

The Popemobileis the name given to the specially-equipped vehicles used to transport the Pope at various public appearances. The vehicles are designed to protect the Pope while allowing him to be visible to the crowds.


Why would he do this?...

One of things you spoke about in your opening post was being born of the Spirit. So, my speaking about it was on-topic.
Then you went on to explain what it means to be Born Again = un- truth.
Firstly, I'm a "she" not a "he." Secondly, thus far, I've answered your questions from the opening post. You would now like me to answer your questions in posts #13, #16, and #17. However, you say that my Christian (Catholic) answers to your questions pertaining to the Christian (Catholic) Church aren't facts, and that we do not speak God's Truth. Therefore, again, why are you feigning to want to know answers from us?

The facts were about being Born Of The Spirit = un- truth.

I said No such thing, about your answers about the Pope.

Why do they kiss the Pope hand..do they think he is God?

Do they think there is something Holy about him?

Is that why they kiss his hand and some have been known to kiss his feet?

Who has denied your answers that you gave?

You said below, I answered above.

Therefore, again, why are you feigning to want to know answers from us

Two things you spoke about in your opening post was being born again and born of the Spirit. So, you were the one who started the discussion on those topics not me, and thus my speaking about these was on-topic not off-topic.
Did you read my post?..none of what you posted regarding being Born Of The Spirit was biblical, that is what I said...that is what I meant, you misunderstood my post....if you disagree then start a topic on being Born Of The Spirit ..now, please stick to the topic.
Incorrect, because in post #17 you said, "None of what you posted are facts." Also, in post #19 you said, "...Catholics don’t speak Gods truth." Therefore, why have you been feigning to want to know my answers to your questions in posts #13, #16, and #17?
Did you read my post? none of what you posted were facts regarding “Born Of The Spirit “ now start a thread and prove your post was biblical, that’s all I’m asking..not looking for an argument.
The answers to that and your other questions in the opening post can be found in post #11.
Can you please stick to the topic...thank you.

Start your own topic on what it means to be Born Of The Spirit...I will joyfully discuss with you....

Did you read my post?

Did I read the posts where you accused me of starting the discussion on being born again and born of the Spirit and going off-topic by speaking about them? Yes, I did read them, and that is why I said you were the one who started the discussion on those topics not me, and thus my speaking about these was on-topic not off-topic.

Did you read my post?

Did I read the post where you said you did not say that my answers regarding Pope Francis are not facts? Yes, I did read it, and that is why I said that is Incorrect because in post #17 you said, "None of what you posted are facts." Also, in post #19 you said, "...Catholics don’t speak Gods truth." Therefore, again, why have you been feigning to want to know my answers to your questions in posts #13, #16, and #17?

Can you please stick to the topic...thank you.

I have only been addressing what has been brought up.

I have edited being Born Of The Spirit out of my OP.

Why because you explained in your own opinion what Born Of The Spirit meant, it was unscriptural...therefore we were going away from, why Do Catholic’s worship the Pope.

I ask again..start your own thread on what it means to be Born Of The Spirit...please stop gate crashing my thread, when I have asked you countless times to start a thread on being “ Born Of The Spirit “

Or even look a thread up on what it means to be Born Of The Spirit...then you can explain it in there, I will look out for your post.
I've only been addressing what's being brought up.
Once again please stick with.

Why Do Catholic’s worship the Pope.

Can you answer those questions I asked about him above?

Why do some kiss the Popes feet.

Do they think he is Holy?

What makes the pope believe his religion is above all others , does he believe that?

Do Catholic’s believe that?

Short commentary.

There will be some 12 selected men, both priests and the lay people, and the bishop or priest will wash and kiss the feet of those 12 men. It is not merely a dramatization of the past event. Further it is a prayer where the whole congregation prays to wash and cleanse them of their sins.

The pope can forgive sins?

Seriously and how so?

What power does he have to forgive sins?

Short commentary.

The Catechism says that “only Godforgives sin” (1441). As Catholics, we believe that God does this through the means of a priest, in the person of Christ, in the Confessional. In complete privacy, we state our sins, and are given absolution.

Does Gods written word say that...God forgives sins through a priest?

If so, scripture please?

You were the one who started the discussion on being born again and born of the Spirit in the opening post not me, and thus my speaking about these was on-topic not off-topic. It'd be humble of you to apologize.



I wasn't talking about being born again and born of the Spirit, but rather where you said you didn't say that my answers regarding Pope Francis aren't facts. Again, that's incorrect because in post #17 you said, "None of what you posted are facts."



Again, some of those and other questions in the opening post can be found in post #11. If you would like me to answer your new questions, why are you feigning to be interested in my answers when you have said, "Catholics don’t speak Gods truth?"
Answer the questions please?

What you post above is going over old ground.

Are you here to argue?

I explained that Catholic’s don’t speak Gods truth regarding being Born Of The Spirit

I’m not here to argue therefore your post has been reported .

I explained they don’t speak Gods truth when it comes to understanding being Born Of The Spirit...that is what I have explained for all readers to see.

I've been asking you why I should answer your new questions when your statement "Catholics don’t speak Gods truth" do not indicate a sincere desire to know my answers.
And how many times have I answered your question?

Are you here to argue?

I have not seen you answer it yet. If you have answered it, what's the post #?
I have answered your post regarding what you believe Born Of The Spirit means..it’s an un = truth imo.

You said we still sin..remember...I answered and asked you what Born Of God’s seed meant?

You didn’t answer...and besides it’s off topic, which I have been trying very patiently to get you back on topic.

Please stop trying to highjack my thread..
