Unitatis Redintegratio is a Conciliar document.Umm ok, let me connect the dots for you - the Pope wrote Unitatis redintegratio.
Still shouting, God doesnt need to as you do. But than teh truth hurts, does it not.Yes, mjr - we're well aware of your many heresies and your patent rejection of His Church.
Rant on, my Scripturally-bankrupt friend . . .
You are yelling and teh only one that does it, go read your posts, and you are correcting no one, you should really start doing what you tell ever one else to do,I'm not "yelling" at anybody.
"Ylling" in the written form requires the use of exclamations (!!!).
I'm just exposing lies and correcting you.
As I educate you earlier - "yelling" in the written form requires exclamations(!!!) in the English language.Still shouting, God doesnt need to as you do. But than teh truth hurts, does it not.

Since you don't seem to know Christ - I'll explain a thing or two . . .Your religion was rejected centuries ago, but it matter more to you than the truth, and this is for all mens religions
Rev_18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
The great Harlot, mens religions trying to replace our Lord beautiful Bride,
Mary, if I may...How do I, Mary, decide who is telling The Truth? Only one of you can be telling The Truth, how do I decide?
Yes the traditions of men what you know all about, but you see BOL, there is not a single person with the Lord today because they where a catholic, they got there because,PS - The Catholic Church was only rejected by Protestant MEN.
That is not the measure of God's decision. It is the tradition of MEN.
Dear ScottA,No, not according to Jesus, but according to your misunderstanding. He too prayed before thousands. And now what you have done to me, you have also done to Him.
You cannot be saved while rejecting His Church.Yes the traditions of men what you know all about, but you see BOL, there is not a single person with the Lord today because they where a catholic, they got there because,
Eph_2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Yes a gift some would desparately love to pay for,
and
Joh_14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
there is only one way, its not mens way.
Far too many christians trying to climb that flag pole so they can grab teh flag and shout, oh look at Me i did it myself, big fail in Gods Kingdom.
You make absolutely ZERO sense. We have yet to come into the knowledge of the TRUTH 2,000 years after Jesus died? Are you being serious? God has hid the truth from us for 2,000 years?Mary, if I may...
It is not our prerogative to "decide." Truth "is." If we choose it, it sets us free. If we choose untrue, we remain captive, unable to "know" what is correct and what is not.
So, then, if we are not free and do not know, but merely "believe", it is because we have yet to come into the knowledge of the truth. Belief is the first step in the right direction, but only if we believe what is true. It can be a vicious cycle...and the only way to break the cycle, is prayer. Truth is held in guard by God by a flaming sword. We must appear to Him directly.
Dear Job,This is the first time I've ever seen someone get rebuked for praying.
ScottA,Mary, if I may...

o
I just quoted Jesus REBUKING people for PUBLIC PRAYER and you say this is the first time you have seen someone get rebuked for prayer?
Mary, Mary, Mary. Before you go getting up in someones face, you should really make sure all your ducks are in a row. Jesus wasn't rebuking people for praying in public when He gave the Sermon on the Mount. He was teaching them. If you had taken the time to actually read what you're teaching, you would've seen that.
May I suggest a correspondence course in reading comprehension.
Here's the passage in question.
Matthew 6
5 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
By the way - Did YOU know that there are NO Protestant churches in Israel? ONLY Catholic and Orthodox.
Here's one:
I take that back - it was MILLIONS, and now there is a book about it.Dear ScottA,
When did he ever pray for an individual in front of THOUSANDS??
What I have done to you I have done to Him? Are you playing the victim? A martyr?
Oh goodness...Mary
Yes, it is obvious the it makes no sense to you. But if God says, "I am", do you not understand? Because I said "Truth is", which is the same thing, only applied to your issue of who to believe. I was trying to help.You make absolutely ZERO sense. We have yet to come into the knowledge of the TRUTH 2,000 years after Jesus died? Are you being serious? God has hid the truth from us for 2,000 years?
Only if we believe what is true? Are you a Christian or a Buddhist or some other non Christian cult?
I choose the TRUTH that you are completely and utterly wrong in your interpretation of scripture. That is what I choose. Does that make me right? Based on your THEORY I am right and you are wrong. Trust me, I prayed about it and the Holy Spirit told me you are wrong.
You make ZERO sense. I hate to be so bold but I am tired of people twisting scripture.
Mary
Hi, sorry about the length, but you asked. It's not easy to put such big things into few words. Are you saying that we don't need the real presence of Him? That all we need is a temple, a priest and the scriptures? How is anyone saved, without having the presence in us ( and us In Him ), what did He die for then, if we are supposedly still as far from His actual presence we always were ?Wow....
I don't know where to start. So many words. Maybe to many words since it confused me.
You said that you cannot imagine that all God is and all He has to teach and guide us can be contained in a mere physical book. I say I don't know of ANYONE that has ever claimed that they can imagine all that God is and all that He has to teach us. The Catholic Church teaches what you believe; There is more to our faith, what we believe and what we practice than what is contained in Scripture. You agree with the teachings of the Catholic Church; the bible does not have all the answers. But scripture never said it has all the answers.
You also said just think of how many billions of different individuals He has to deal with, all of us different.Takes a more Presence approach than 'Hear, read this, and do that." I say it doesn't matter if He is dealing with 100 people or 100 billion people. It does not matter how different WE are, He is always the same. He is present in Scripture. You seem to be saying He needs to have a presence with each person to guide them or reveal The Truth? I'm confused.
You say that He has PROVEN to you over and over again since 1985 and that his how you know what The Truth is. So I ask you, what if 5 people came up to you and said that what you KNOW is wrong. They say to you that Jesus came to them in a dream also and that they experienced His REAL presence and heard Him and seen Him in that dream. However, what Jesus told those 5 people is completely OPPOSITE of what Jesus told you. How do I, Mary, decide who is telling The Truth? Only one of you can be telling The Truth, how do I decide?
Curious Mary
