NeWeStCoNvErT Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 (edited) [URL] www.aloha.net/~mikesch/ faustina.htm]Divine Mercy image [/URL] This site made me so sad people actually think like this. its not like i never heard this stuff they are saying before but, these people never really ask catholics about thier faith or try to visit a catholic website instead just visit anti cathoilc websites to get their knowledge but im just rambling i just thought i would sharethis with you i was searching for images of divine mercy for my pic on here because st. faustina is my patron saint. pax, Joyce Edited May 1, 2004 by IcePrincessKRS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thicke Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 I think there's thread somewhere about prying for people you don't like. This dude that makes this webpage just got on the top of my list.

I am saying he is better equipped to handle it because of his style, a style I do not posses. Edited May 1, 2004 by thicke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeWeStCoNvErT Posted May 1, 2004 Author Share Posted May 1, 2004 His claims on divine mercy can be argued pretty easily(not to boast). I have not read the other numerous anti catholic things he has on his main webpage so I dont know if i could argue all of them without some serious time. I dont know my boyfriend tells me it is useless (basically because he probably gets 700 emails a day form catholics and it hasnt changed him) which i dont agree with because I was not a "praticing" chistian before I entered the catholic church my life was lead by impluses and raging hormones and I wasnt doomed to be a sinner all my life. My life has completely change ever since i was introduced to Catholicism(Gods one and only true church on earth )So I never say never to people changing. I will pray for him and ask God what I should do (email him or not) so neways i know I dont make sense(im not an english major ) so i will end this. pax, Joyce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neways im not trying to m=be rude or direspectful<<<<but bear with me im new to the faith and still learning(im only a little catholic) PEACE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS!

Anna Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 What a joke this guy is...right off the bat, he tries to equate veneration with worship. In fact, he quotes Our Lord telling St. Faustina to venerate His image, but "Mike" puts "(worship)" after the word venerate! So, he's trying to put other words into Christ's mouth than those He actually spoke. (Liar, Liar, pants on fire). I like the name of his "ministry." [i]Bible Light[/i] Must be the non-nourishing version for Bible dieters...those who can't handle the whole Truth. Pax Christi. <>< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quietfire Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 (edited) this guy is a joke. notice how he put in parenthesis (worship) next to venerate. The two have completely different meanings. [quote]ven·er·ate v. –tr. ven·er·at·ed, ven·er·at·ing, ven·er·ates. To regard with respect, reverence, or heartfelt deference. wor·ship n. 1. a. The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a sacred object.[/quote] I am sitting here trying to find the words to say what is in my mind, without sounding like I am beating the guy up. Oh well, I cant. So I'll keep my mouth shut. LOL Edited May 3, 2004 by Quietfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
