BeenaBobba Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hi the lumberjack, I don't think you're a threat to well-educated Catholics, but there's no assurance that all the Catholics (or those wishing to convert to Catholicism, for example) who visit the phorums will be well-educated and well-versed in Catholicism. They're still learning, and we don't want them to get lead astray. I don't think the red warning is a big deal. You seem to think of it as a badge of honor. LOL. Like Al, I think it's just a cool phatmass gimmick that shouldn't be too offensive. God bless, Jennifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justified Saint Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 [quote]unlike the Ocean of Paperwork that the Catholic Church floats on like the Titanic, eh?[/quote] Yeah, stuff like that is what I am talking about. But hey, the beat goes like you said. You play your instrument and I'll play mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the lumberjack Posted June 21, 2004 Author Share Posted June 21, 2004 [quote name='Archbishop 10-K' date='Jun 21 2004, 12:26 PM'] That's using the same logic as justifying calling yourself "perfect" because someone else said you were. [/quote] if that "someone else" is the APOSTLE Paul...hmmm... who am I going to believe? and anyways, you're taking the subject at hand into an example that might be a little too far out there... the Bible calls us saints, so we are saints. "To the saints at San Diego..." "To the saints at Ephesus...." "To the saints at Thesselonica...." hmm...seems to all fit..unless you're calling the early Christians NOT saints, and thus refuting what the APOSTLE Paul said. and unless the Catholic Church has a different interpretation for saint and saint...we're living saints. and you better tell Justified SAINT to change his name too... God bless. -------- and Jennifer, yeah, I'll wear it a badge of honor...scarlet letter...whatever. I don't mind. if anyone REALLY wants to know what I believe and whether or not I'm REALLY a "danger" they'll IM me or something. God bless. Christ first. ------------- and Jas, I see what you're saying...and praise the Lord for that. as for the Ocean of Paperwork...I'll stick to the bible and use of commentaries by brothers and sisters in Christ...they always HELP, but aren't the definitive words of Christ or the Apostles...but I'm sure we can discuss it somewhere else. God bless you, brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archangel Raphael Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 This will be my last post on the matter, and last post on this forum. I'm beginning to realize this forum isn't about battling spiritual darkness, but people, and I don't like it (and that goes for either side, Catholic or Protestant). And you can make up whatever excuse you see fit, but quite frankly (and if a moderater edits this out or bans me then fine, cause I'm leaving anyhow) from a denomination who is against 'self interpretation', seems to be doing alot of it on their own with the Bible and the Catechism. Aren't you suppose to leave that to the priests? And let me remind everyone too. God founded the Law, in which the Jews and priests followed. The Law was of God, but it was man who had to interpret it, and you can have a law but if you don't have Love, then its useless. Cause look at the Pharisees, they had the law, yet they wanted to kill Jesus. Even when in the very Law they practiced that had clear prophecy of the coming Messiah. Most of the temple leaders wanted the very Son of God dead! The supposally 'highly educated' of the law. Yet some who had love, and weren't blinded by pride and the religious spirit, knew the Law and knew Christ was the Messiah. So if Christ (who is also God) founded the Catholic Church. Who is to say the Catholic leaders, even some of today's prests, and some of you you, are 100% right? Even I can't say I'm 100% right, how can you? Based on your own interpretation from your mind and not your heart? I still love ya all, and I made some good friends here, also my post here isn't directed at everyone here nor the Catholic church in general. Just those who choose to set law higher than the One who wrote the law. So I won't sit here and promote a community where I mostly see just another denomination looking down on others and have the gall to say we're going to hell because we aren't Catholic, or that we aren't Catholic cause we disagree with a detail of the doctrine. Fare well, I'll keep ya in prayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justified Saint Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Can anyone document where a Catholic has said to a non-Catholic on this forum that they are going to hell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Ugh. I can. It caused a rather large argument (which I was involved in) that got send to the back alley and deleted when dUSt had to remove that section of the phorum. (FYI, I was on the side that said you couldn't know with certainty and did not have the right to condemn people to hell.) It doesn't happen often but it does happen.

[/quote] The Apostle St. Paul never even knew you existed back then, and you were never a member of any of those listed congregations (and what's with San Diego?) Even if Christ Himself called me saint, I would call myself not worthy of being His slave. The point is, you leave the title of "saint" for someone else to call you that. And one thing..... you call yourself a saint but you don't put the "St." before Paul? What's up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 This is getting out of hand.... I'm making a request we close this thread now, as it is leading no where good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeenaBobba Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I agree with Bro. Adam, for sure. I don't see much positive coming out of this thread now. God bless, Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theculturewarrior Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I trust Dust's judgement on this, but I don't think the debate table crowd would let any heresy go unanswered. I think Dust just had a bad experience with a certain banned non-Catholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
