the lumberjack Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 I mean, I like the fact that you guys think I (and other "protestants") are SUCH a THREAT to catholocism that you would give us that [color=red]BRIGHT REd[/color] technotronic robotic writing saying that we're a spiritual danger. but is it really necessary? not that I mind all too much...like I said, I'm acutally pretty honored. so, to all my estranged brothers and sisters in Christ, beware.... every IM or PM I send you could be the one that converts you to the absolute relativism of a false heretical belief system. beware!!!
MorphRC Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 You are a threat to Christianity, and to them. Christ set the ways, and developed the ways in the Church. Therefore anything that goes against the Church is an enemy of the Church and of God. You believe in your man-made doctrines, faith-alone etc. Which was a 16th century doctrine well over 1500 years after Christ, and you expect them to understand 'Were not a threat, were your 'Brothers & Sisters'' Your a threat to the Body of Christ. Whether you get 'gradification' or 'happiness' doesnt matter, Scripture speaks of this, Apostolic Tradition, & Teaching. And Basic Catholic Teaching does. Its historical, so your gonna either follow them or stop whining through a pseudo-victimization attitude.
Archangel Raphael Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 (edited) LOL!!!!!! Ok that's it, I want the pretty red letters too!! If Jesus can be called a blasphemer by the pharisees, then I can be called a 'spiritual danger' Edited June 21, 2004 by Archangel Raphael
Justified Saint Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 (edited) Oy Lumber, If I recall correctly you guys are the ones always making the noise about being non-Catholics. Afterall, you do revel in your self-proclaimed title of "heretic". Looks to me like another gracious effort to accomadate for all your desires and to make all our separated brethren feel comfortable and at home. Can't you just be satisfied?

Archangel Raphael Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 I'm rather enjoying this really. Especially since I agree with alot of the Church, but just cause I am not going to a Catholic mass nor may not believe in a few details of the doctrine means I'm going to hell? lol! Oh wait..I take that back, past couple weeks I HAVE been going to Catholic Saturday mass

DojoGrant Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 I hardly find it inappropriate. A label as such will let Catholics, especially those who are not strong in their faith, know that you are not speaking as a Catholic, much less speaking the Truth of the Church.

[/quote] That's sorta like saying to a Jew if your eating most of the steak, might as well eat all of it (including the fat). Edited June 21, 2004 by Archangel Raphael
IcePrincessKRS Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Anyhow, my point was thats why they call it a conversion "process", there are steps you go through (not that I am saying you are in a conversion process, but you could be, in which case you'd learn and accept things one by one most likely...)
Archangel Raphael Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 If you read in Leviticus and in other parts of the Old Testament. One of the things God had forbidden the Jews to eat was the fat and blood of eatable animals.
IcePrincessKRS Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Ok, that makes sense now... I was thinking of the eating habits of Jews and trying to recall what they aren't supposed to eat (like no pig meat and no mixing meat and dairy...) but didn't even think to look to the Bible reference... guess I should have done that first. lol

EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 (edited) Why don't I get a green sign for being so cool? Edited June 21, 2004 by thedude
Archangel Raphael Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 That's ok Leviticus has ALOT of good stuff, not just simple customs. Ppl often think "That's just a custom God made up for Jews" Yea well everything God does has a purpose, even a physical purpose. I learned some months ago that pigs carry alot of internal parasites. And that 80% of Americans have parasites within them, mostly who don't know it either. God forbade anyone to eat a scavenger, and scavengers eat ANYTHING. So your eating a scavenger whom you have no idea what that thing was eating, and that junk being put into their cells and into the meat your eating. Which is why I only eat turkey bacon and turkey pepperoni now
IcePrincessKRS Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 You just made me glad that I don't like pork and rarely eat ham or bacon....
the lumberjack Posted June 21, 2004 Author Posted June 21, 2004 [quote name='thedude' date='Jun 21 2004, 11:23 AM'] 1. I don't think our salvation is something to laugh about 2. Why don't I get a green sign for being so cool? [/quote] 1. I agree 2. ....not a mod...can't say. as for my thoughts on your thoughts, as I said, you must think I'm here to convert people from Christ to....Christ? yeah, that makes sense. you can all point out how false my religion or blah blah blah is, but you know, I really don't care... what I'm trying to do is help Christians be better Christians... and if you can't see that, then its not really my problem. I know the Lord is working on me, and thats all that matters to me... so, while I don't think our...sorry, MY salvation or YOUR salvation is nothing to laugh about, it IS rather funny that I (as well as other "Protestants") get labeled as a Spiritual WARNING. but hey, thats life, right? riiiiiiiiiiiiight. Christ first.
Justified Saint Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 And then we read your signature and just about everything you have written on Catholicism and then we roll our eyes.
jasJis Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 [b][color=red]I'm with Lumberjack on this one. It's enough to let us know who isn't Catholic, but I despise the red letter spiritual warning and find it repugnant.[/color][/b]
