People who live in glass house shouldnt throw stones. IE the avatar and the user name. Scripture had nothing to do with it.

I agree to still and always love you as a friend, libby, even though we totally disagree on the Biblical issues that have been presented throughout the years.

Nothing has changed and Truth will never change libby. The same for all other RCC posters, we should be able to agree to disagree on the differences without "hating" one another or hurling insults and derogatory remarks for those differences. That's the peace through friendship that I wish to have with you and everyone who disagrees with me.

P.S. I think this would be the same sentiment that others who disagree with the RCC would have.

BTW: Of all people - lol- thanks to Bird Dog for seeing that.

Starman's mini-me------------------>Stoned Man

The Church of Stoned Man coming soon, to a stripmall near you, where you can:
1. Quote all the scripture you want with your own interpertation.
2. Smash statues of Mary
3. Quote Saint Paul to find discrepancies with the Catholic Church and not even call him Saint Paul.
4. Condemn to hell anyone who disagrees with you.
5. Squawk like a parrot.
6. Mock like a mockingbird
7. Try to prove to people that there are two Jesus's and two Bibles when the whole world knows there is only one of each.
8. Act like you are the second coming of Christ.
9. Teach your children to hate Catholics
10. Chase people away from God with your arrogance.

There's a saying that the Church was built on the martyrs, so by all means thrower of stones, please do continue to persecute us. You drive anyone who is inquring straight into our arms after having run screaming from you. Keep up the good work!

Dear Radiant1,
I am addressing a RC group who holds the authority of the church and tradition over the word of God, so why wouldn’t I quote what you believe is an authoritive source, your church documents? You should have complained if I didn’t!

I quoted scripture as a Christian as we hold the word of God as the sole authority for life and practice, driving home the point, Gods word is God’s word, and that’s what really matters, what God says.

I would think as a RC who knows this full well, that your motives for asking were to try to discredit the messenger thus taking the focus off the truth of the message, rather than dealing with the real issue.

As to playing the martyr, I am not persecuting you personally, just showing you that the religious cult you embrace is far from the Church, that when an organization sets its self and its authority over God and his word and teaches something other than what it says, it doesn’t matter if it has a Jesus figure in it or not, it’s not Christian, and it’s not a church.

Question for you? How can you even understand the Bible correctly when the RCC's central means of interpretation is not literal but allegorical? When it doesn’t matter what Jesus really says, but more what someone wants to compare it to and then say that’s what it means.

Before going down that rabbit trail though let’s stick to the difference in the gospel. I don’t see how yours is good news at all, I much prefer a gospel of Grace and putting my faith in trust in a God that is mighty to save and has all power and authority and doesn’t require my assistance. Please feel free to explain how yours is good news.

Stab that strawman, thrower of stones! Catholics do not hold Sacred Tradition "over the word of God". If you're interested, I'd be more than happy to tell you what we actually believe. At least then you can correctly know what it is you are attempting to refute.

You're right, which is why you should actually follow what God says.

I didn't ask anything. I made an observation. As we can see above, your so-called "truth" is a false premise; therefore, the only issue to deal with is your imaginary one, and I won't play pretend with you, sorry.

You're still stabbing a strawman but hey keep on keeping on if it amuses you.

Now you've set up another strawman. You sure are busy at nothing! Again, if you're interested, I'd be more than happy to tell you what we actually believe so you can correctly know what it is you're attempting to refute.

Go see the Sola Scriptura thread before you make a greater fool of yourself.

LoL

<1. Quote all the scripture you want with your own interpretation.>
No, by using a grammatical, historical, theological approach. Which is a more correct way to read anything! Literally, but taking into consideration the 40 literary devices that are used.

<4. Condemn to hell anyone who disagrees with you.>
No just pointing out the only means of salvation, Repentance and faith

<7. Try to prove to people that there are two Jesus’ and two Bibles when the whole world knows there is only one of each.>

Actually there is only one, many people were named Jesus but only one was God himself and only one can save. The RCC's Bible is the Bible plus, not the Bible.

<9. Teach your children to hate Catholics>
I love Catholics I don’t hate them; I hate the beast that calls itself a church that they give their money to that’s leading them astray!

<10. Chase people away from God with your arrogance.>
If you say so, or warning them of the wrath to come and the fires of hell that await them instead of a fantasy land called purgatory. If they haven’t repented of their sin and placed their faith and trust in Christ alone! If they have they should be running to get away from the RCC and its false teaching, and religious works system.

you keep using this phrase.

Is your church a building or is it people? Does it matter where it meets, whether a storefront or a moldy old building in Morganza?

Which derives from casting stones in the bible. Your reply implies that you are either clueless, or you are claiming to be without sin. Which is it?

I think it's his way off openly confessing his own sinfulness.

But wouldn't admitting your sinfulness mean that you are not throwing stones? If he is a stone thrower that means he doesn't live in a glass house, or is without sin.
