Helen, I'm addressing your choice of words namely Catholic vs Catholicism. The behaviour of others is no excuse to misrepresent the issue. One is the individual the other is the system.

You are splitting hairs which the scripture does not split. You are either in or out, don't make a mistake on that!

Yeah, blindness is endemic.

It's really quiet uncomplicated ViJ. The language of fruit and works indicate the same thing. The works of the spirit have longevity whereas works that are a pretence are by their very nature short lived and so exposed as such. 'Nice' is not nice when teeth are bared. NICE When nice was...

While the American Government throws out Gods Law progressively with no intention of reversing its trajectory. Ninevah repented (the whole City) and God withheld judgement. Would it be otherwise on a National level?

Hello

It is only those alive to Gods purposes who align themselves with God's standard. The desire to and the ability to keep them is given by God. It is the carnal man that is at enmity with God's Commandments.

As an example, When a person requires scripture as evidence of a certain point or issue and scripture is given in its context, if it is then disregarded as if it were never forthcoming, you can be certain that lack of self honesty is in the drivers seat.

A person who is courageously self aware knows if they are self honest. If on the other hand denial is the MO, anything can be and will be twisted and justified.

I would like to clarify this again. It has been clarified for the fiftieth time but it seems the clarification falls on deaf ears. It is Catholicism that is opposed, not Catholics. Perhaps you do not understand the difference?? If you don't I am happy to clarify it otherwise please make the...

Whether we agree or disagree is a side issue. What matters is that the connection with God is right. You can be certain that working it out with fear and trembling is not overstated neither is the need for self honesty. Deception would not be deception if it was obvious yet chances are that even...
