Why not answer BreadOfLife's question...instead of DODGING it? One thing I notice about you Amigo, is that you make a whole BUNCE of claims, yet provide NO BIBLICAL EVIDENCE of your claims.

Or maybe *YOU'RE* the one who never listens, but makes excuses every time doctrine exposes *YOUR* 'system'. Maybe it's YOU who is twisting things.

I have wondered the same thing about the Dead Sea Scrolls. One of the supposed reasons why the Book of Tobit wasn't included in Hebrew scriptures, was because supposedly, it wasn't written in Hebrew. But the Dead Sea Scrolls provide evidence that it was written in Hebrew. So, now they say...

Well...in all honesty, we (Catholics) can say the same thing about our own. Thing is, that 'The' Bible has gone through many changes since the days of the first manuscripts. 2 Timothy 3:16 says, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in...

Plus, which 'bible' is he talking about?

Good post, Wynona! Having been homeless before AND having panhandled before, I can tell ya...for MOST, everything DOES help! Thing is, that many panhandlers panhandle for other things besides food. Not talking about drugs and/or alcohol. Bus fare...shoes...OTC products (Advil, etc.)...money...

Yeah, CHRIST did, but *you* aren't doing that. You're punitive yourself, and you're assigning *your* punitive attitude toward Christ. That was NOT Christ's way! No. The Pope isn't saying "bless this union." Read the words (which I doubt you did) CAREFULLY. The Pope is trying to see IF...

Probably? No. Lest you forget that when the woman was brought to him, who was caught 'in the very act' of adultery, what did Christ do? No whips. No calling her a 'whore'. No condemnation. He said to the crowd (paraphrasing), "Let HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE." Do you...

Forget about Paul. What do you think CHRIST would do? Sorry dude, but Christ wasn't nearly as punitive as YOU are...

You mean...so *we* can spew off garbage about others who don't do as *you* say? You may not be reading the bible through a 'religious' lense, but you're certainly reading it through the lense of your own hatred, bigamy, prejudice, superiority, punishment, condescension, ignorance and especially...

You are bearing false witness, Robert. You have been either/or unwilling and/or unable to produce anything to support your opinions. God's Word comes to us through religious men, so your statement makes no sense.

Right. But a ban and/or excommunication does not sentence anyone to hell. The RCC does not sentence people to hell. While there may be some Catholics who may say, "If you do/don't do X, Y and/or Z, you'll go to hell", the RCC does not support that belief. So, if a Catholic says those words...

WHICH Bible? Yours? The Septuagint? Old Testament? New Testament? It's there. Nope. It originated from the Greek word "ἀνάθεμα." It's not a "Catholic" word. Sheesh! I'm sure your Funk and Wagnalls dictionary doesn't say that anathema has anything to do with hell. Nope. Got any proof...

Again, this is not true. The Church does not believe that it has any power to sentence anyone to hell. Only God can do that.

Illuminator, I clicked on "Read the Whole Thing", and it took me a site that says, "Page Not Found."

Like I told Mary, SCROLL DOWN the page. The 33 Canons are listed after Chapter XVI under " On Justification."

Hi Mary, As usual, Robert Pate won't provide his source. Here's the one I find most reliable: https://www.papalencyclicals.net/councils/trent/sixth-session.htm Scroll down to find the 33 Canons.

Thanks. Right back atcha! :)

How many moments are years to God? I agree that we should "be prepared". But not in the same way that SOME say.

God blinks. A THOUSAND years goes by. I agree that we're in the "last hour. " But not today. Popes have come. Popes have gone. NONE have proven to be the anti-Christ. It's like the non-Catholic believers are throwing things against the wall to see what may stick...
