Thank you for that non-response.
I was simply refuting YOUR false claim that men don't catch other men.

Tell that to Jesus, who produced a coin from a fish's mouth to pay a tax to Caesar.
Tell that to Jesus, who was "caught" by men and hung on a cross for your sins.
The difference is... you catch yourself.

Who said we were "Brothers" in Christ??
You believe in a completely different Christ that the Christ of Scripture.

The Mormons and the JWs and Oneness Pentecostals and the like ALL believe in different "gods" that the God of Christianity - and so do YOU. You've made that perfectly clear when you said that Jesus is pure spirit. That is a heresy, so why would you think that we are "brothers".

We are neighbors, and I would do anything to help you - but we aren't Adelphos in Christ.
You are correct... we are not brothers.

I thought I posted here , but cant find my post....

I was a Catholic for some 50 years and my husband also.........

Our children tried other churches and got us to go to a different church............

And we both got saved......... in our 50's .............

And we finally got a bible and started to read ........... what a big difference .....

I did not receive a answer about this.......... ! was wondering if a bible is now used in the church?
We were not told to get a bible....
I have had a girl friend now for years..... we were 4 and 5 years and now 81 and 82.........
She still belongs to the Catholic Church, and does not have a bible !
So If I was not saved how can she ? I was the one who got her to go to church.
But now , at this age ! What can I say to her ? to help !

Does the Catholic Church teach that a heretic is not a brother in Christ with a Catholic (in a state of grace)?

Tell her God is patient. Tell her thank you for walking the path she was given. Tell her she is loved.

We have different fathers.
the responsibility for a certain child might be said to be...the fault of one side of the fam or another, too; when the kid is acting a certain way, right. When they're acting another way credit is taken for the clan though, right

Oh, that's right. I guess your online cult "aggressivechristianity.net" is the bride of Christ.

I'm sorry that you and your husband didn't find Christ in the Church - but you can only blame yourselves.

First of all - to ask whether the Church now uses the Bible is clear evidence that you left out of ignorance and nothing else. You were seat-fillers but you weren't actively involved in the Mass - otherwise you would never have asked this question. Not only is the entire Mass Scripturally-based - there are 2 readings from the OT and the NT and a Gospel reading during the Liturgy of the Word.

The entire Catechism is Scripturally-based with footnotes and references to Scripture for every line written.
How could you possibly not understand that the Word of God is central to the faith.

I think it's sad that you left the fullness of the gospel for a partial truth - but perpetual-splintering is the true spirit of Protestantism. It's also a shame that your friend doesn't understand that her faith is drenched in the Word. I'll keep you, your husband and your friend in my prayers.
