My latest replies to aspen in pink.
I really wish you would listen to yourself, Anastacia
You just have no control in what you say. It's like you can't stop.
Here we go with aspen's lists again. [/font][/color]

[font="tahoma][color="#8b0000"]Is this your example of speaking to me in love?
No, you comparing me to a wolverine is the example of speaking in love.

1. Your answer to my question about how do you know what MT believes is "I know because I know"
You lie here. You say you quote me saying something I never said. I will tell you again how I know what Mother Teresa says---because it's in her diaries. And because she is a Catholic, and I know what Catholics teach. [/font]
[font="tahoma][color="#006400"]
[/color][/font]
[font="tahoma][color="#8b0000"]eessh.....You are claiming that I am lying by stating "Your answer to my question about how do you know what MT believes is "I know because I know", then you continue to claim that "I know because I know (Catholicism)". You are using your own knowledge as an authority to understand MT's heart.
It's obvious you have a problem with truth. You can't see it but, I'm telling you like three times now that I read about what Mother Teresa believes from what she said in her diary. Also, I do know what Catholics believe, and she was a Catholic nun....in the process now of the Catholics false practice of "canonization of the Saints." Mother Teresa is going through the Catholic's process of "beautification."

2. Your answer to my claim that you are making the mistake of claiming that every Catholic believes the same thing is "Catholics are wrong"
You say you are a Catholic. What part of Catholic are you denying? You already have claimed more than once that the pope is Apostolic Succession, and that the Bible isn't enough. That is enough to know you are a Catholic with false beliefs that go against the Word of God.[/font]
[font="tahoma][color="#006400"]
[/color][/font]
[font="tahoma][color="#8b0000"]You still are not answering my claim. I am a Catholic - what does that have to do with anything? I have never made the statement "the Bible isn't enough". Your opinion about my beliefs mean nothing.
So you are giving up the false beliefs of the Catholic church? You are making up your own Catholic religion? So you don't believe the pope is from "Apostolic Succession"? You don't believe the pope and oral Tradition? You did not say nor imply that the pope is needed to explain and give doctrine that isn't necessarily mentioned plainly in the Bible?
Many of us read how you defend the false Catholic teachings in the other thread.

3. I asked for prayer and you reject my request for your own agenda.
I asked you to explain what you wanted me to pray for you about. How is Jesus going to santify you when you deny His Truth? My prayer was for you to know the Truth. Knowing the Truth and obeying is how you will get sanctified! No amount of prayers for your santification would work without you listening and obeying the Truth.
[/font]
I made a specific request - no explanation is necessary. I never asked you to pray your beliefs for me - I asked for prayer.
Oh I am praying for you. I really do.
[font="tahoma]In the previous post, you claim the MT's errors in theology are due to catholic doctrine taught to her - she is a nun and therefore must only know Catholic doctrine. I said - why do you think MT has an authority as a theologian - in essence, why is MT held to a higher standard for her understanding of theology than any other Catholic - your response: "To be saved by the Lord Jesus Christ......NO ONE has to be an authority on theology, nor an authority of anything!"
[color="#006400"]What's so hard for you to understand that if Mother Teresa had the Truth....then it wouldn't matter how about having authority in theology or not.[/font][/color]
[font="tahoma][color="#006400"]
[/color][/font]
[font="tahoma][color="#8b0000"]"What's so hard" means "Are you so stupid, you cannot understand the obvious?" - is this the love you are speaking about? You do not have enough evidence to decide if MT has the Truth or not.
[/color]Yes there is enough evidence to know if Mother Teresa knew Jesus or not. Her own words tells us.
[/font]
[font="tahoma]None of your responses even make sense. It is as if you were answering your own questions - questions in your head.
[/font][/color][color="#006400"][font="tahoma]You have a problem understanding God's Word. I am speaking of God's Word. So of course if you reject what the Bible says, you will reject what I say. I'm just saying what the Bible says.[/font][/color]
[font="tahoma][color="#006400"]
[/font]
[font="tahoma][color="#8b0000"]I have a problem with your interpretation of God's Word. I am used to hearing God's Word - not your interpretation. Your word is not the same as scripture - you are interpreting it in a very limited and concrete manner. You haven't even used 1 verse in this whole post....[/color]
[/font]
Stop trying so hard to insult me.
[font="tahoma]It's like me saying: "Jesus came to teach us how to love more fully"[/font][/color]
[color="#000080"][font="tahoma]You respond: "That is a lie! Show me some scripture"[/font][/color]
[color="#000080"][font="tahoma]I respond: "Jesus is God"
[/font][/color][color="#006400"][font="tahoma]What you said makes no sense. You're trying so hard to be rude and insulting. [/font][/color]
[font="tahoma][color="#006400"]
[/font]
[font="tahoma][color="#8b0000"]Nothing rude about pointing out your logic. I am sorry your do not recognize it. I am glad you do see that it makes no sense because it is the same thing I see when I read one of my posts and then read your response that has nothing to do with what I posted.[/color]
[/font]I understand, you want to attack me and trample me because you think I'm trying to take something valuable from you. You don't see what I'm trying to help you get.
[font="tahoma]You are so wrapped up in your hatred for Catholicism that you cannot even engage in a basic, reason based conversation. I am sure you will feel insulted by my post - it seems to be your only defense against the reality of your illogical posts. All I want is to have a conversation with you, but it is like wanting to pet a wolverine - you bite erratically.
[/font][/color][color="#006400"][font="tahoma]When I speak to you it is out of love and from truth. What you say to me is out of hatred and pride.[/font][/color]
[color="#8b0000"][font="tahoma]
[/font][/color]
[font="tahoma][color="#8b0000"]This statement speaks volumes.....[/font]
[font="tahoma]
[/font][/color]
[color="#006400"][font="tahoma][/font][/color][color="#8b0000"][font="tahoma]So it doesn't matter what you say or the words you use or the scoffing and mocking or the hatred - you are speaking to me in love. And it doesn't matter how often I ignore your rudeness or point out your rudeness and ask you to stop or how many other people who share your beliefs think your comments are rude - I am the person who is speaking out of pride and hatred? How can you make a statement like this when the majority of people on this board think your comments are rude? It is not just me Anastacia.[/font][/color]
[font="tahoma][color="#8b0000"]
[/font]If they are Christians like you say....then they wouldn't think the worst of me. If they are Chrisitans and have judged me falsely...then they need to repent. I have done nothing wrong in my discussions to anyone here. If they get offended by something, it's because they don't like hearing the Truth. I answer to God. If they are Christians like you say, they shouldn't even judge me, nor slander me like you say they have. They aren't obeyiing Jesus when they do that. If I was trying to please men then I wouldn't be a servant of the Lord.

[/color][/font]Galatians 1:10-12 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
