Can we not be belligerent? It makes me sad

[IcePrincessKRS]

You mean fruits that their labors to raise their children with a love of God and solid morals has been working?

Proof of Anna's labors? I'm standing right here. (Er, technically sitting....) See that little group title under my name? Church Militant? That is a sign that she's been doing her job quite nicely.

"A good tree does not bear rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit.

For every tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not pick figs from thornbushes, nor do they gather grapes from brambles.

A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good, but an evil person out of a store of evil produces evil; for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks. [/quote]

Or fruit of love between husband and wife our children, the fruit of the womb?

[Archangel Raphael]

*sighs a little* You seriously don't know what I mean by 'your Fruits?' I dunno, perhaps I'm being a tad vague. And sorry for getting your name wrong, Anna.

Ah sorry didn't see that post up there. Well you pretty much said it, but how do you see that Fruit?... In other words, and I'm asking this in all honesty: What have you done to help grow the Body of Christ? How many souls have you helped save? How many people have you laid hands on and gotten healed? How many people have you prayed for and the presence of God just came into the room? How many lives have you touched by speaking about our Lord or just being a Christian through your actions? How many of you can see into the Spiritual realm? How many of you have cast out demons? All these I speak of can only come with an Anointing on one's life, and that is through being obedient to the Lord and the Lord finding favor on you to trust you with that Anointing. So in all honesty, feel free to share your testimony. I really pray there are some of us here that have done some of the things I just listed, cause I wasn't impressed that I only got one or two decent posts on my "Witnessing, to the Lost" thread of people who did some kind of witnessing. And no I'm not bashing Catholics here, I'm hoping to get a point across that it's all on obedience to God that matters above anything else, and doing what He tells you to do. Whether it be being a Catholic or not. But anyway, go on.

Ok number one this is not a bragging session. Read the lives of the saints they kept things quite. They didn't say oh look at me I healed someone.

Did you not read that I said ANY GOOD WORK comes from GOD and only GOD, "Who is good but God alone".

So if I have touched anyones life it is glory to God because it was Him, I'm just a servant.

And your thing about listening to God yes we listen to God and He speaks to us THROUGH HIS CHURCH. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

What are up too my friend?

[Livin_the_MASS]

Well?

[cmotherofpirl]

We will all find out the answer to this at the General Judgement of Christ when all deeds good and bad come to light.

Oh so then it isn't right to tell someone how good you did on a math test if you get an A+ and be happy about it? And no, bragging is bragging depending on the intent of your heart. If I was bragging, I would be telling you this to diminish you and elevate myself above you. Some of you may already think I'm doing that now but that's your affair. But no, I'm telling you this so that even if you have nothing to say about it, I hope that you will begin to realize the point I'm making so he could DO something about it. Aren't we all suppose to help eachother grow in the Lord? Sure it may seem challenging, but even Jesus challenged others. He challenged the rich man to give up all he had and follow Him. So I challenge you all, what have you done for the Kingdom? What have you done to effect others' lives? And if nothing, then I invite you to ask God to change that.

Also I wanna make something clear, I am in no way, accusing the Catholic church to be biggots or holier than thou as a WHOLE. Yet, some are.
