ahhh questions, questions from you but no answers... ok one more.. Though I say to the virtuous man that he shall surely live, if he then presumes on his virtue and does wrong, none of his virtuous deeds shall be remembered; because of the wrong he has done, he shall die. And though I say...

And here we have the crux of our disagreement. The Sacraments are not shadows, they are the real deal. So every 2000 year old apostolic community witnesses... Show me the 2000 year old church that deals in shadows! Peace be with you!

Oh don't feel bad, it prompted some deep introspection in me... I'm glad you asked it! Just so I'm clear, I'm not talking about the hell of the damned, whatever that may be, But about that final cleansing of my heart. 'only the pure in heart can see God' Where do I still build it my way and...

Dear Charlie, Then it should be easy to answer, no? Mischievous? No.. Leading? Certainly.. Peace!

Indeed the works of 'the law' will avail one nothing. They have been fulfilled in Christ. Why go back to shadows? An interesting metaphor, but it works.. As I said, the sacraments are Jesus' work, not ours... No one can baptise themselves.. But works of charity, now, those we do indeed need...

Did you find my answet unsatisfactory? To bad.. Yet an answer it was. Perhaps you and he will an attempt to answer my questions? I believe my last one to you was 'when did the scales fall from Paul's eyes? Peace!

That's a great question, so many answers came to mind... Selfishness? Pride? Ignorance? ... What part of us are our 'sacred cows' ? Peace!

Hello Victory, Indeed, we are not speaking anout Hell 'fire', but the purifying fire of the love of God! He will burn away all that is not worthy, and then the precious being that we have become (that He has made us!) will shine like the sun as we reflect His Glory! Peace be with you!

Hello EG, Its a false dichotemy. We know objectively that His Grace is available in the Sacraments. That's like asking does Grace, or Grace save you? Now answer my question please. Peace!

Dear April, Thank you! You said that purgatory was a lie and not in the bible. I was pointing out that Paul says we will be purged. That is what purgatory is.. The burning away of anything not of God, so that we may stand before Him! Our God is a consuming fire.. Shall we not embrace...

Jesus knows our hearts.. And He will judge righteously and with mercy! Peace be with you!

Hi April, Have you considered 1Cor 3: 12-15 If anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, the work of each will come to light, for the Day will disclose it. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire (itself) will test the quality of each one's...

Can one who knowingly rejects the Grace of God still be saved? Do you not think that a much worse punishment is due the one who has contempt for the Son of God, considers unclean the covenant-blood by which he was consecrated, and insults the spirit of grace? Peace!

Hello EG, Who's work do you think the Sacraments are? It is Jesus who baptizes It is Jesus who chrismates It is Jesus who consecrates It is Jesus who marries It is Jesus who ordains It is Jesus who reconciles It is Jesus who annoints Brother, it's all Jesus, pouring out His Grace on us...

Hello Cooper, Do you not believe that our Father will give life to our children if we ask it of Him? Thanks be to God, that my mother, by faith, procured for me this precious gift... Jesus has been my Lord, my Saviour, my King, my God, since before I can remember.. Telling faithful...

Hello EG, John 3 We must be born of water and the Spirit. Baptism, check John 4 We will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. The sacrifice of the Mass (Mal 1:11), check John 6 Eat the food that the Son of Man gives us. Eucharist, check Rom 10 Call on the name of the Lord and be saved...

well I guess that ends tonight game of questions... perhaps another time :)

Well of course we do. But as so many here like to point out.. The water, itself, isnt really whats important but the Spirit acting in the sacrament! And thus, as it has been from the time if the apostles: 1. Concerning baptism, baptise thus: Having first rehearsed all these things, "baptise...

That's not an answer to my question Charlie. By the standard you yourself have proclaimed, all faithful Catholics are saved! That should make you rejoice! Peace! p.s. when did the scales fall from Paul's eyes?

Hello Cooper, And all faithful Catholic's have made such a declaration! Peace be with you!
