and by his own admittance he has disabilities... I hear you ... loud and clear... and believe me... I am no friend of Catholicism...but somehow my heart allows me compassion and a ton of patience when it comes to theefaith... Just something to consider.
We all have disabilities.

We don't all go around conducting ourselves in that manner.

Are you a 'Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin' type o' gal, Addy?

Hitler had disabilities. Does he get a pass?

Mao Tse Tung?

Satan? He get a pass? Surely he's got an excuse.

@theefaith ... Several people came against me yesterday for sticking up for you.. which is fine. I am one to try and meet people at the "heart level" of every matter... in hopes of finding some common ground... and I am not intimidated by peer pressure.

However... upon reflection of the matter... You are choosing to bring up topics that are filled with strife... and division... that is on YOU.

For the record... I am not at all a fan of your religion... and I have made that quite clear throughout my year+ here.

I will no longer be checking in to see if you are bored... as I do not desire to be viewed as one who is defending bad doctrine.

Bless you. Tenderly... Addy

The point is the concordant was signed with the elected government before any of the evils were perpetrated!

for two years before the war hitler allowed any Jew to migrate to the holy land with their possessions

he crushed the Freemasons, homos, sex perverts, porn and other good things

Hitler never gets credit for the good things he did, communists never get credit for the evil they did! Why?

im not defending either btw
What good things did Hitler do?

Point is... Catholics pray TO Mary.... Just saying...

only God can answer prayer

all praise love devotion offered to Mary and the saints terminats in Christ

2 Thessalonians 1:10
When he shall come to be glorified in hissaints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

for Christ is the source of all graces

Yeah , we can CONFESS our faults to one another . But you PRAY to THEM . If paul was alive today , or peter , or any true apostel ,
They would have rebuked you for praying TO THEM . Big difference between confessing our faults to one another , THAN PRAYING
to one another . But you cannot grasp this . You answer is the same answer even RCC bishops and deacons have given me .
You had rather cling to deadly traditions of men , rather than to embrace the TRUTH which could have set you free and given you
the one true hope . But i will not let it become sin and a snare unto me . Nor will i not pray for you either . FOR YOU . NOT TO YOU .

Jesus is the Head of the Body of Christ. Is it not of people such as you and I that His Body is to consist? The connection between the parts and the Head is the Holy Spirit or the Blood which also nourishes the Body! Without the Holy Spirit or the Blood, we are dead! The Life is in the Blood!

Umm ... because why would you give anybody credit for anything once they've killed MILLIONS of innocent human beings??

Seriously?

You go that route, you forfeit all positive acknowledgments whatsoever from anything you've done prior.

" ... when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, ... All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die."
Ezekiel 18:24

I think your sole purpose here is as an instigator, TF. You don't even really believe, or buy into, much of what you spout. You just intend to stir up drama and strife.

no just being honest

We are the Body of Christ.
He is the head.

There is only the Christian faith for those that belong to the Body.

Christ ascended to heaven appointed peter and the apostles and their successors to govern the church

no king administers his own kingdom

What good things did Hitler do?

he crushed the Freemasons, homos, sex perverts, porn and Rebuilt the economy
To such a degree that the people of Austria showered the German army with flowers, and could not wait to join the booming economy

What then are the keys?

“I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” Rev 1:18 [that is Jesus, not Peter]

“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;” Rev 3:7 [this is also Jesus, not Peter]

“And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.” Isaiah 22:22-23 [this is also Jesus, not Peter]

“Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.” Luke 11:52 [and the key of knowledge is found only through Peter, is it?] Solomon inspired by God wrote the following a thousand years before Peter was born:

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge:..." Prov 1:7

To Peter, yes, and to many others after him, not only apostles, to whom it had been shut the way to the Tree of Life opened to overcomers. Did Peter overcome? It would seem likely, but many who were not apostles would be overcomers!

"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God" Rev 2:7

Overcoming the world may be accomplished by anyone who yields to the Holy Spirit until all obstacles hindering the way to God and that Tree of Life are gone.

I agree.
Jesus left Peter with the keys...
In the O.T. keys were a symbol of authority....

Your comment that no king administers his own kingdom does not seem correct, but I'm not sure what you mean by this.

He rebuilt the economy.
This is good.
But it's overshadowed by the evil.
If you do one thing good and ten things wrong, the wrong will be remembered and not the good.

As to the elimination of the "undesirables" you mentioned, please remember this:

Morality cannot be legislated.
It's very dangerous when a government can decide who is immoral and be punished for it. We might be next...

God loves all of His creation and only He can truly judge....we don't know man's heart.

What do you think brought about the holocaust?
Hatred for what was considered an inferior race.

Again, we could have been next.

@GodsGrace Some ppl at first thought Adolf H. was doing a good job, despite his wonky rhetoric. But then more and more what he did was wonky also, to say the least... :rolleyes:

@GodsGrace The Lord Jesus is indeed "given to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all". (Ephesians 1).
Amen.

Things are really poppin' at 5 a.m. my time!
Too bad I'm supposed to be asleep right now.
:rolleyes:

And I guess I should use scripture.

Same for Musdolini in Italy.
He got the trains to run on time, but at what price?
He confiscated all property of Jews living here and banished the homosexuals.

The idiot joined forces with the monster.
