Whoa, whoa whoa! I fully agree with you on your post with the mixed up, freaky doctrine they have, so how do you see me criticizing you on that?
Let me run down the list of "loving" things people have said about Catholics on this psot only:
-- They are getting special supernatural plagues particularly for them.
-- They are spiritual adulterers.
-- They're heretics.
-- They call Mary the Mother of Humanity and the queen of heaven.
-- They call someone other than God Father.
-- The pope tells them to despite Jesus's explicit instructions.
-- They're what's in a garbage can.
-- The deification of Mary is a fact.
-- They judge us!
-- They don't feed starving parishioners.
-- They call us names and haters.
-- They're a cult.
-- They've murdered millions and millions.
-- They never use the Bible to support these little accusations.
-- Take the boulder off your shoulder and you don't make it to heaven by people being nice to you. take the boulder off your shoulder for a moment, toss it aside and start over. As a CHRISTIAN, you do not make it to heaven by demanding people be 'nice' to you. You make it to heaven by being nice to your enemies, blessing them that curse and persecute you, etc. God is NOT going to take you aside and ask "DID you get on the internet recently and make sure those people knew how you were treated? There, there, my child...let your Father rap his arms around you and comfort you...I will take care of those chatroom members who did not associate with you, once and for all!". There are no pity parties given here. (People stuck up for tourist, but treated the Catholics they don't know like this anyway.)
-- doctrine and scripture is perverted.
-- The RC is the Antichrist.
-- There is fiction in your head. (Followed quickly by Good-bye and God bless.)
-- you never quote the Bible, and don't seem to hold it in high regard. (Said to someone who has quoted and seems to have regard for it.)
-- Respectfully:
I asked you if it agrees with what the bible says? Just give me a succinct answer! Is that possible with you or do you always need to answer in your self-aggrandizing, bloviated manner in which you respond to everyone! Im quite tired of your vain babblings. You impress noone but yourself.
Just answer the question!! YES OR NO!
-- I thought you were leaving? (Said more than once, and always followed by a blessing once they were sure he really left.)
-- Your ignorance is not just sad, its blasphemous. You, fordman, worship the Catholic church. You're doomed, and there ain't nothing Mary, the pope or your works can do about it. Did, dot, dash, adios, blasphemer. Make no mistake, you've been warned.
-- did Jesus use a Rosemary? Nope. Did Jesus go to a confessional? Nope. He prayed to God directly finding a quiet place to pray. Did Jesus follow around a 'pope' like figure? Nope. He told everyone to be disciples:
-- don't be conceded and pompous' because you are in our home, ChristianChat. Not the other way around.
First, some of this is just crap. Some of it is true, but the manner it is said is wrong. Second, it's all to target and none of it is love (or respect.) Third, and most important, how long would you put up with people tearing your beliefs this hard and actually listen to them? The Catholics were targeted by a moc. No one was out to bring them to the truth. Want to save someone? Be nice. Be understanding. Don't taunt.
And you said:
-- My guess is that Blain will get sucked in.
Experiential faith is a strong pull along with the mystical element.
-- How about each of those the Roman Catholic Church burned at the stake?
Does the true Church burn people at the stake?
-- So you would like to join those who tortured and burned the saints (if you don't already belong)?
-- have been slippin, slippin into darkness and are becoming a setup for an ecumenical type beast...
-- no that won't do. Countries kill, murder, and do bloody battles: Churches don't...or are at least not supposed to.
-- Ecumenical slop
-- ecumenical mish mash
-- ecumenical lovefest
As I said before, you weren't the worse. But even my Catholic brothers who don't even believe in God or don't think he gets involved with people would have punched you over this junk. There was no love.
So, who's fault is it these people aren't saved? Isn't there a time to truly reach a person? Ford proved he won't here but ZZ and Mary would, if they could hear something past the anger and taunts.
You know this wasn't right. Very much like a mobbing.
