Folks don't know what LOVE means unless they receive it from God first.
I hear what you are saying. To me it's given and we have to recieve it, but if a person does not know how to recieve it how would you counsel?

This is true. God is Love, and His Word is Truth :)

Without that, we wander the world chasing cultural norms :(








Magenta,

Your images are lovely and you love to speak about love,

but you're one of the least loving people I've ever met.
And let me add that my Catholic friends have more love in their little pinky, than YOU have in your Whole person.
In fact, you should learn a little bit about loving Others. it would please Jesus, the One you say you love.
Why not start doing what He said to do?

Oh right. You don't HAVE TO.

It still doesnt change anything sorry nice try but no cigar mego.. Believer can do the works Of Jesus without being told.. they do it automatically...

This scripture means just that to me billy.. this is beleive and rec ieve that the believer can do great things just like Jesus..but only because he has felt the power of Jesus and his healing power..
Oh well I tried to answer your question. But no cigar as you say.

Just so you know I can't see what I have said where I have said Beleivers can do works of Jesus without being told.

But I do have to say given your previous posts you say beleivers do have to do works because Jesus told them, and that is being saved daily.

but your are correct we do it automatically.

Anyway as I said I answered your question and my answer you have rejected.

Thanks, Fran. You are one to say we can't know who is right,
so of course others will point out your heresies, your hate,
and your hypocrisy from time to time.

You just can't stand that anyone comes against your beloved Roman Catholic church.

I am sorry for you, but you know, you ARE on a protestant site, and people WILL
take you to task for spreading the hatred, lies, hypocrisy, and heresies of the RCC.

The Truth can be known and it is not contained in the heretical institution of the RCC.

As long as you defend it, you will have enemies. I stand for the Truth.

They need to lay down their opposition to it :)

If they are unaware of their opposition, they need to do some soul searching...

Oh my.
I thought it was a CHRISTIAN site.

SO THIS IS WHY THERES'S SO MUCH HATRED HERE.

To speak nothing about incorrect doctrine form persons who know NOTHING AT ALL about scripture, except what suits THEM.

Why don't you do this:

FIND A POST OF MINE where I demostrated hatred to anyone, while I was attached by a tiny little Group while I was here.
Happily MOST agreed with me. If you only knew the likes I got from people who never even posted.

Because they're afraid to deal with you. But I'm not.
Your doctrine is all screwed up,
You have no love in your life,
you're basically a miserable person who probably doesn't even have any friends or you wouldn't be on this site all day long.
No matter when I come here---here you are. What does that say for you?

Why don't you go out and help some people that need it and quit acting like you're Ms. Love when you're full of hate.

Read your signature line every now and then and try to do what it says.

Birds of a feather

What nonsense from people who call themselves Christian.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Magenta,

You know I have come to love you but honestly I think the above post is wrong.

I have no idea who sent you that but whoever sent that should have been brave enough to post it themselves.

The problem with wolves analogy is it is about people who abuse others in real life,
and live a reprobate life.

I think on a christian forum that is actually impossible.

There will always be weeds among the corn, and always be those who would rather
stir things up and see enemies everywhere.

What everything boils down to is things that encourage us to follow Jesus and things
that discourage us. If those committed to following the Lord concentrated on this,
then the rest would take care of itself.

Some who are deeply committed to their perspectives are going to continue, we can
but bless them and wish them well, testifying to the Lord working in our hearts. You
know in Christ we do go from one state of glory to the next, because that is how God
blesses us, no matter what people do. Opinions do not change life realities, thankfully.

It is why after all was said and done the apostles were pleased to go and be with the
Lord for they had done their part, Halleluyah.

People are allowed to send private messages, and have private opinions aside from those they make public. I posted it to show that I am not alone in standing against the heresies that Fran hopes to spread though her support of the RCC. People have opposed her defending the RCC all along, so it is not like it should come as a surprise to her. People disagreeing here is nothing new, either. I am not going to say who sent it, but I know they have not been cowardly when it comes to standing up to the heresies and falsehoods Fran pushes.

Your whole post sounds very unChrist-like. All anyone has to do to see your hatred, is look through your posts. On this thread, and the Catholicism thread in the Teens forum. You can't handle hearing the truth whatsoever, and you attack those who don't agree with your erroneous theologies..

Who cares if you got a lot of likes on your posts? We all get alot of likes. Likes and rep comments don't determine how smart or well-liked a person is.

We know you're going to staunchly defend the RCC, seeing as how you grew up catholic, and was a teacher for them, and unwisely believe their wacky doctrines. I pray God will open your eyes to their deception before it's too late..


So this is a PROTESTANT site.

That is right, Fran, it is a Protestant site. Are you so confused with your RCC heresies that you are unaware that Protestants are Christians? Yikes. I did not know you had it so bad. I do realize that Catholics like to pretend they are the only ones who are saved. Are you still under that RCC taught delusion? Have you never seen the statement made by the founder and owner of this site regarding the heresies you love to defend, because you do not know the truth?

We try to welcome everyone to our site including people who grow up with
Catholic tradition because of course we want to lead people to the truth.

But sometimes it's perceived that we tolerate error and heresy.


Guess what Fran? RCC heresy and error are NOT tolerated.
