Catholics

And the lies YOU concoct are as childish as you accuse me of being.

it is a poor defense imo to assume that anyone with a different opinion is a liar, BoD. I mean, you can certainly believe that if you like, but you don't seem to be doing your side any favors anyway, and imo you are searing your conscience a little more every day.

 

[bbyrd009]

So, you reject anybody praying for you - is that it?

?

no, i understand that anyone praying for me--even to Mary, or Zeus--likely means me well, even if they are not praying as Christ taught us.

 

[bbyrd009]

Rubbish.
Is this picture of a woman kissing a reminder of her dead son, "evil"??

YOU couldn't tell the truth if you're soul depended on it - which it DOES . . .

she pretty obviously is not in what is generally accepted to be a "worship" setting though BoD, you are comparing apples and oranges

A generally accepted "worship setting"?
Who defines this generally accepted "worship setting"?
You?

My guess is that whatever you think is a generally accepted "worship setting" is just your personal opinion.

ah, well, not sure how well you would do in a poll there lol, for my part i do not believe that anyone can worship God in a church, practicing pointless rituals, so i guess i agree personally, but nonetheless imo that is the "generally accepted worship setting."

So its the same as all the rest, and therefore is not teh Lords Church by your very own words, Good to see you finally figuered it out.

No - it's not the "same" as all of the Protestant sects because it's Christ's Church.

Jer 6:15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
Than there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Prov. 12:22
"Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD"

You might get some good strong caps on those teeth . . . .

 

[BreadOfLife]

it is a tableau of evil imo; the last democratically elected President, who openly swore to uncover the cabal that you serve, had already printed United States Notes, assassinated by the ones whose flag he now lies under. It's basically a black mass ok.

I see you're keeping company with all of those conspiracy loons.
Make sure to wear your tinfoil hat to the meetings . . .

She is kissing a graven image - so in YOUR ignorance view - she's guilty of idolatry . . .

 

[BreadOfLife]

Christ never taught us to pray for each other,Einstein.
He left that up to other NT writers like Paul and James.

Bottom line: If you reject prayers from Mary and the saints in Heaven - you reject the Body of Christ.

Nobody said you can't have your own opinions.
YOUR problem is that you consistently lie about the Church instead r arguing the facts.

Try telling the truth, for a change.
As the saying goes - you're entitled to your own opinion - but NOT your own facts . . .

 

[bbyrd009]

well, all of that is documented, you can still access the "cabal" speech, etc, so believe what you like.

Call them names, if it makes you feel better. That doesn't mean that there is not some truth to the story.

 

[bbyrd009]

yes, but she is not attempting to present her son in a worship setting, and you are maybe just being deliberately obtuse to avoid the truth as others see it, i dunno.

If you believe Mary was sinless, and pray to her, etc, as most monotheists would only do to God, then you have to consider how the Commandment against graven images applies, if you are a Christian. For yourself. Personally that strikes me as exclusively Catholic, but i like Catholics in general.

And yes, mostly just the humble ones, but imo that is what anyone should aspire to.

so you say, but i read "give US this day our daily bread..." etc, and again i reject no prayers, even if i would not pray that way.

 

[BreadOfLife]

Not at all.
What makes you think the Pope is "worshiping" the statue of Mary.
Were you present when this happened?? Did you ASK him - or are you just spreading more of your anti-Catholic nonsense??

Judging by all of your posts here - the latter is the most likely . . .

If you believe Mary was sinless, and pray to her, etc, as most monotheists would only do to God, then you have to consider how the Commandment against graven images applies, if you are a Christian. For yourself. Personally that strikes me as exclusively Catholic, but i like Catholics in general.

And yes, mostly just the humble ones, but imo that is what anyone should aspire to.

And there you go again being dishonest.
Catholics ARE monotheists and don't worship Mary but you've lied so much that the lie has become the truth for you.

Yes - Kennedy was assassinated by Castro and the CIA, Bigfoot lives up in Oregon and the government is hiding little green men in Area 51 . . .

Can YOU say, "Tinfoil hat"??

 

[BreadOfLife]

so you say, but i read "give US this day our daily bread..." etc, and again i reject no prayers, even if i would not pray that way.

That phrase is not a lesson in praying for each other.
Jesus was talking to a multitude and therefore, speaking in plurals.

Dude - LEARN what the Bible teaches . . .

 

[Job]

1 Thessalonians 5
22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

Praying in front of statues = The appearance of evil.

The NT says that Peter is The Rock. Where does it say that the spirit of God is the rock? I can't find it.

Curious Mary

1 Corinthians 10:4
and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rockwas Christ.

 

[ScottA]

You are right; it was long ago.

According to my research they named Peter as their first Pope (head of the Church) in AD 211 when Eusebius wrote that Victor was the thirteenth bishop of Rome from Peter.

Can you name another "denomination" that can trace their history back that far?

Curious Mary

No...and I do not gravitate toward "denominations" - sounds like "body parts." :)
