imo you mostly support the RCC case that Catholics have no business reading a Bible i guess, wish i knew how to put that more kindly, sorry
Pretty funny, coming from a person who is completely CLUELESS about the fact the the Bible was penned by Jews and Catholics . . .

WRONG, sparky.

God AUTHORED the Bible - but it was PENNED by human beings.
Jews penned the OT and Catholics penned the NT.

Why do you bother to LIE – when you KNOW I’m just going to expose you in front of everybody for it??

You can expose all the things you say FOR ME, then call it a LIE....

It is laughable.

You absolutely referred to the titles of Catholic leaders – and now you’re back-pedaling.

God has numerous TITLES.
Men have numerous TITLES.

I mentioned that FACT....so what? It was not the Point, merely a Fact.

I wonder WHY??

I ignored your remarks about "catholics leaders" have "TITLES".... who cares?

Catholics are simply men...already covered the FACTS...both God and men have Titles...

You simply focuse in on anything anyone says that mentions a catholic, then blindly like a raging bull blast out of your pen, which simply shows your utter lack of comprehension.


Maybe it’s because I publicly-spanked you with the truth about Protestant titles . . .

Oooooh ouchie oochy.... that really hurt me (not LOL) when you speak about Protestant MEN having Titles, "AFTER" I already spoke of FACTS....that BOTH, God and men have Titles. (LOL)

Nothing new, for you, the self proclaimed teacher .... who thinks he is "teaching" men things they ALREADY KNOW and have ACKNOWLEDGED....LOL

The fact STILL remains that Jesus established only ONE Church.

Oh goody.... You are repeatedly reminding me of what I have already said. LOL

He NEVER established tens of thousands of disjointed, bickering and perpetually-splintering Protestant factions that ALLteach different doctrines by men who ALL claimed that they were “led” by the Holy Spirit.

He didn't establish or build the Vatican, the Holy See, thousands of "Catholics" churches, or appoint a singular man to be head of HIS CHURCH....men calling themselves "catholics" have established and built those things, and made THEIR HEAD, called "by several Titles", including "their" "holy father".

Other men, calling themselves "Christians", have established and built thousands of buildings with ONE (specifically Christ Jesus) being thee God- HEAD of their "establishments", and made THEIR HEAD, called thee Lord GOD, their "Holy Father".

Apparently that is a thorn in your side, that everyone does not SUBMIT to what catholics have "established and built" .....

Get over it.... no one is jumping on board with what you are promoting....

And your METHOD of promoting....is nothing but bullying. Obviously oblivious to you...a MAJOR complaint of former "catholics" having been subjected to "child-hood" bullying, fear mongering, "WHILE they "WERE" catholics...and became adults, and DEFLECTED, and LEFT the catholic church.

What’s more – your “history” is skewed. There are COUNTLESS Catholics who were murdered at the hands of Protestants.

Nothing new.... Historical "HUMAN Governments" with a Counterpart State Religion"....Have KILLED men who reject the STATE (official Government) Religion.

YOU are the one who has endlessly touted, THE LONG LONG History of "catholics", but all of a sudden.....become BLANK MINDED....
Along with that LONG LONG history of "Catholics".....IN "according" to catholicism being LONG LONG historical "STATE religion", and a LONG LONG history of KILLING men who REJECTED, the government STATE religion.

While you TOUT the LONG LONG history of catholics.....sorry dude....you also get the LONG LONG history of MEN being KILLED, for not adhering to Catholicism, as it was also the STATE religion.

Stop bucking it....You can't have ONE without the other.

- Henry VIII is responsible for some 72,000 executions and starvations of Catholics.
- His daughter Elizabeth murdered some 40,000 Catholics.
- Her Catholic half-sister Mary was responsible for around160 Protestant deaths – yet SHE is known as“Bloody Mary”.
Talk about perverse Progestant revisionism . . .


So? No one said otherwise. Not News... Protestants, picked up some pretty BAD habits having been for a long time STEEPED, in the LONG LONG history of Catholics.

The point is, Einstein – is that there is PLENTY of blood on BOTH sides – but YOU’VE only been taught the anti-Catholic view – and you call ME brainwashed. How pathetic . . .

Oh good grief...I know what occurs WHEN there is A STATE (government) SANCTIONED Religion.

Head of State......the religion of the State is according to the Head (king, monarch, whatever their government title)

Head of State.....a Catholic....non-Catholics killed.

Head of State.....a Protestant....non-Protestants killed.

Head of State....a Islamist....non-Islamists killed.

Elementary knowledge, no one has said otherwise....as you falsely claim.

Establishment of the US....NO STATE religion.... No Government Law to authorize KILLING a man, because of whatever religion the man chooses to be involved with.

LONG, LONG, history of Catholics being State Religions.....results in a LONG LONG history of Catholics killing NON-Catholics....

Embrace "ALL" of your LONG LONG 2,000 year old History...

And Protestants, can embrace their History... that apparently is only some 300+ years.

You WIN....you have 1700 more years of killing non Catholics under your belt....

You have even beat out the Islamists...LOL


LOL

Another one of your painfully LONG-winded rants.
Like the old saying goes – EMPTY barrels make the most noise . . .

Well, Einstein – you’ve proven your hypocrisy and complete historical bankruptcy.
First of all – the Church of England is HEADED by the reigning monarch. In short – the monarch is the “POPE” of that faction. The monarchs I mentioned were DIRECTLY responsible for killing some 114,000 Catholic in England. WHY is it that the one Catholic monarch who killed 160 Protestants is named “Bloody Mary”by comparison?? Hypocrisy runs DEEPwithin Protestantism . . .

By contrast – not ONE Protestant was ever ordered to be put to death by ANY Catholic Pope. Those were usually matters of STATE and NOT the Church.
Finally – as to the earlier part of your rant – YES, Jesus DID establish a Church with a visible earthly leader (Matt. 16:18-19, John 21:15-19).

Hey – for your next psychotic rant – let’s see if you can do it without dissecting every sentence – and keep it under 5,000 words.
Can you articulate a thought that intelligently??

Already said "HIS" Chruch. That should have been Clear, ONE Church.



1) God is Everywhere.
2) Men erect buildings to meet.
3) No church is mine.
4) All men are flawed and have sinned.

(Except apparently "catholics", but, but, but, who routinely claim to sin) LOL



It is interesting, you continuously tout "your catholic" church having a centuries old history......but conveniently fail to mention; men KNOWN to reject and protest catholic teaching, were often met with a brutal and horrifying death.

You are not the authority on knowledge of men who historically met in favor of accepting Gods word and rejection of the "catholic teachings of traditions they dreamed up."

It is primarily educated men who openly voiced their protests against the catholic church, John Wycliffe mid 1300's; Jerome of Prague, burned at the stake; Jan Hus burned at the stake 1415, and Martin Luther who launched an openly and successful protest against the catholic teachings beginning in 1521, a revolution of sorts.

Yip, yip the catholic church is historical....
So is their influence to have men murdered for not being a compelled robot.

And where exactly did Christ teach or promote for men to support the murdering of men because they did not agree with a mans religious doctrine?



No. Perhaps moreso like the paparazzi that is pre-notified to stage ego boosting.....but hey, it was Jesus' chosen words, and a warning, so if you want to think it a passive thing or a good thing.....eh, that's you.



LOL....I never mentioned "titles".....but par for your MO....make up crap...upchuck it on another, then bad mouth the other for YOUR OWN WORDS....

Astounding!
Didja here about the man who dies and upon reaching the Pearly Gates, he is escorted in and shown around? As he walks down the golden streets, a huge mansion appears on his left.
"Wow! - look at the size of that mansion! Who lives there?" he asks his angel escort.
"The Baptists live there".
A little further down the street, another huge mansion appears.
"Wow, look at that one! Who lives there?"
"The Methodists."
As he comes across one mansion after another, the angel tells him who the occupants are.
"The Presbyterians...the Pentecostals...the Lutherans..."

At the end of the street, they come to a huge brick wall.

"Wow, look at the size of that wall! I wonder what's on the other side!!!"
The angel whispers back, "keep your voice down!!! The Catholics are on the other side. They think they're the only ones up here!"

Your complaints are nothing new ~ already known, IF one is not raving everything catholic, you are tuned out.

First of all – the Church of England is HEADED by the reigning monarch. In short – the monarch is the “POPE” of that faction. The monarchs I mentioned were DIRECTLY responsible for killing some 114,000 Catholic in England.

Thanks for sharing the POPE gets credit for killing 114,000 catholics in England.

Thanks for sharing, when I was speaking of 2,000 years of History, of Government Heads WITH a STATE Religion....you limited it to ...
A particular "fraction". Of ONLY a Church leader.

No problem. Already observed you lack comprehension.

is it that the one Catholic monarch who killed 160 Protestants is named “Bloody Mary”by comparison?? Hypocrisy runs DEEPwithin Protestantism . . .

Because Mary Tudor had her sister in law beheaded, and Mary became QUEEN of England, authorizing the burning of over 280 people who rejected Catholicism.

You want to whine about Mary Tudor's "nickname"....LOL, who cares?

By contrast – not ONE Protestant was ever ordered to be put to death by ANY Catholic Pope.

No one said the Pope had the authority, or did so pronounce an order......

Well except for you....WHO just said the Pope was the reigning monarch of the Church of England....

Those were usually matters of STATE and NOT the Church.

I was very clear about that.
You are the one who designated the POPE, "A MONARCH"....

Monarch's ARE heads of States....!

Finally – as to the earlier part of your rant – YES, Jesus DID establish a Church with a visible earthly leader (Matt. 16:18-19, John 21:15-19).

Sure He did....Quite Precisely.

1 Cor 12:28
God hath set some in the Church...
First Apostle(S)
Secondarily Prophets
Thirdly Teachers
After that:
...miracles
...healings
...helps
...governments
...diversities of languages

Christ is the Head....
Others fall Under,
And NOT ONE Person designated, as a pseudo dictator.

Hey – for your next psychotic rant – let’s see if you can do it without dissecting every sentence – and keep it under 5,000 words.
Can you articulate a thought that intelligently??

Some people prefer details and precise language....others can only comprehend the most elementary aspects, and are frustrated with an exchange of details and precise language.

You repeatedly express your frustration....

Glory to God,

I'm heard that joke said of about every faith group.

Ultimately, our coming to Christ is a choice each person makes, not about the label on the door. Sound doctrine definitely helps facilitate that relationship with Christ, but it is always about the relationship. May we each always remember that, and never let our focus instead by on the label (or stereotypes that people tact on to the label).

God actually DOES have a last days church body who are identified as they who "keep the commandments of God and have the testimony and the faith of Jesus" (Revelation 12:17; Revelation 14:12) and it is into this church that God is calling "His people" out of Babylon (Revelation 18:1-4), which proves these in Babylon are yet His people whilst they are there but are commanded to come forth before they perish with the rest.

I was referring to the literal church buildings / denominations. The fact that your butt warming a certain pew on Sunday morning is not an automatic ticket to Heaven or Hell. God judges our hearts.

So true. And woe to the preachers of OSAS - such preaching was going on back in antiquity:

"Because with lies ye (false prophets/teachers) have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:"

Nothing new under the sun, says Solomon.

I'm a major not fan of OSAS as well.

But I was thing more broadly. I'm always amazed at the number of people who believe someone is or is not going to be in Heaven, based upon that person's denomination and/or church building and/or assuming they believe something.

Much better just to ask the individual about their beliefs, and have them explain their joy in Christ to you. Yes, a person may confess Him on their lips and heart still be far from Him, but it does give a much better idea than just relying on stereotypes.

I see ....

What the spiritually blind imagine.

Oh – I’m not “whining” about the nickname of “Bloody Mary".
I was simply pointing out the fact that Protestant hypocrisy stated so early – and has GROWN by leaps and bounds . . .

In 5 years Mary Tudor had 280 people refusing to conform to Catholicism, burned at the stake. Just a fact.

Stating facts does not equal hypocrisy.


As for your idiotic double-speak about my claiming the Popeis a “monarch” who killed some 114,000 Catholics in England – any moron with a 2nd grade education knows that I was talking about the Protestant monarchs of ENGLAND.

Post # 566

the Church of England is Headed by the reigning monarch.

In short the "monarch IS THE "POPE"...

You deny your own words.....no problem...
I deny much of your words too. LOL

YOUR problem is that you were never taught to pay attention.

I never said that Mary Tudor’s nickname of “Bloody Mary” was hypocrisy.
I said that it was hypocritical, given the fact that her Protestant sister killed about 45,000 Catholics in comparison to the relative handful of Protestants that Mary killed.

As for your taking my words OUT of context regarding the monarch being a “Pope” – I’m not surprised. I fully expected you to NOT be able to discuss this intelligently.
Anyway - I said the monarch was the Pope “OF THAT FACTION” (Church of England).

Nice try, Einstein . . .
