-- One of your final posts the last time you were here indicated this was (or was shortly going to be) and issue for you yourself personally. Perhaps the discussion should begin there..... I am pretty sure I already know where you want to go with this.

-- Strat. Poor Strat My long response to you - the one where I pointed to another thread where I have also given several SPECIFIC answers - was specifically in response (translation: actually answering the question) that you put forth here: In other words, I was doing EXACTLY what you asked...

- Yeah, it was a brutal two minutes worth of cutting, pasting, and editing. But thanks for confirming that I took your earlier rants in this thread much more seriously than I should have. .

-- There is other "essential doctrine" that Catholics "must believe in." And it isn't a matter of "devotion" to something. It is a matter of being required to believe what the Catholic church tells you is true and fact. I am not even touching on believing what Catholics are required - again...

That I can understand. Unfortunately Dad did say He loves them best, calling them his "beloved" and promising he would never abandon them. Proverbs talk about being thankful for God's corrections because he corrects those he loves. The Jews have certainly seen a large amount of correcting due to...

-- Thanks Hollyrock. I agree with you. The key is just to make sure you are living as you should be, witnessing and trying to help bring in as much of the harvest as possible, be it pre or post. Matt 24 has been an excellent source for me as to what to expect and prepare for. I just never...

-- Can someone here please translate what he is trying to say...

-- Ummmm, no. That is completely inaccurate and you know it. Every single deacon, nun, priest, bishop, cardinal, along with every Catholic child that has been Confirmed and the Pope himself, will point out you are completely wrong. .

-- Great idea. But that applies to you, as well. From the very first time you ever engaged me in conversation - when I was talking to Episkopos, not you - you criticized me....for what I was saying to him. I provided specific facts to back up what I said to him and all you did was get bent out...

Just found the article on christianpost.com. I appreciate what was said very much. Strat, I would ask that you read your own posts as if you were receiving them from someone else. That perspective may be a bit of an eye opener for you. And if you end up saying to me or others, "well you guys...

I am looking for input on ONE SPECIFIC scripture. I am asking that those wishing to give input stay focused on this one scripture alone and that this not explode into a full everything-including-the-kitchen-sink discussion on the Rapture. First, where I am coming from: For me, the vote is...

As I said:

-- Wow, one doesn't even know where to start. I guess my first question would be, was it difficult to type while looking through the eye holes of your white hood?

Actually, it isn't an 'opinion.' It is active current Catholic doctrine. I noticed that while you tried to deflect, you were wise enough not to question. The real question is: Has a Pope made any proclamation of decree in the past that he says (or implied) was required or directed by God that...

-- Your statement does not negate the fact that the Catholic church believes the Pope is Christ's primary representative here on earth. If you do not like what I say, feel free not to reply. Thanks.

The answer is yes, you can lose your salvation.

-- I understand and meant nothing demeaning by my response. I got saved in my late teens, but within a year most of my support group had moved away and I was left floundering. I ended up walking away from God for well over a decade and during that time I became a born-again, full time...

-- That's all you took out of the discussion and the article itself?

True...hence the "etc. etc. etc."

-- The Catholic church teaches that the Pope is God's primary representative for all Christians here on earth. If he took the job knowing that and agrees it is fact.... .
