Mary's Knight, La Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 lol i can see where the spiritual danger part might be going too far but also see where it's pretty dang funny too seeing how *most* people's attitudes on this site go. and LJ on the statues issue i'm almost with you, and so are most of us even if we don't consciously realize it. the church commends the practice because it can be of help, if it's not of help to you then don't do it, however because it can be of help then i can't say don't do it. we must be our brothers' keepers but I dont think that applies at the expense of our own spiritual health. as for your sig the word that was translated into saint means holy one if you've got the guts to claim it go for it as long as you've got the guts to live it too which i think you do based on your understanding of holiness. 2nd part of your sig: Catholic Church was a prot invention (adding the word roman) we are and will forever be the CC so in that part I think your sig is absolutely right ;-) as for if the phorum is about combating spiritual darkness debating doesn't do anything spiritual only intellectual which can then aid the spiritual. sometimes yeah our lower instincts take over that's what reconciliation both personal and sacramental is for. we all get knocked down but most of us get back up and throw ourselves into the mix again with out holding any grudges i think that's the best you can ever expect in a community of fallen humans being redeemed. and one last thing for LJ since you're no longer labeled as a danger does the red mean you're a target for conversion? hahah
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 I'm still looking for my big green sign that says: "The Celtic Crusader".
cmotherofpirl Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 [quote name='the lumberjack' date='Jun 21 2004, 07:13 PM'] no no no...don't I like it. I kind of feel like some big, bad Protestant monster...hey, I might use that in a song...sounds kinda dope. ------------ and jas... Christ founded the Catholic Church, I believe that...but Christ did not found the Roman Catholic Church...no amount of paperwork, doctrines, tradition or decrees could ever convince me of that. so...yeah, I love you guys and want to grow...but the Catholic Church (in the eyes of just about every Prot I know) is not the church that Christ founded 2 millenia ago... how do I know? read the Bible. look at history. think. pray...it seems as if the men that have been in charge of the Catholic Church for some time now have chosen to take it down this path, which is not the original path that it may have started out on. this is not an attack, just what the Lord has PRESSED very heavily on my heart. I'm NOT saying that you guys (and girlies) here don't love Christ...really, I'm not. I just can't see eye to eye with the Catholic Church on some of the things it has chosen to impress upon its people to believe. I don't and won't pray in front of a statue. why? because TO ME, it is a sin...and what does the bible say? if it is a sin to your brother, then let it be a sin to him. if it causes him to stumble, don't do it in front of him. thats just the quickest example I can come up with right now...I know I bring it up frequently, and I know why YOU do it, but I just can't get down with it. if you guys don't believe that I TRULY want to grow and help you and be helped by you, then so be it... I'll just stick to being a Protestant Monster!!!! Christ family and hip hop...das real. :dj: peace [/quote] Lumber we belong to the Catholic Church, the one founded by Christ. Referring to us as the Catholic Church demeans all the other members of our Church, the 21 other rites that make up the universal Church. Please stop referring to us as the Catholic Church. We do read the bible and know where it came from: the Church. I suppose you don't pray in front of crosses either
the lumberjack Posted June 22, 2004 Author Posted June 22, 2004 jas, thats awesome that you can connect with "us" on a deeper level... -------------- AB10K, I bet you could...up until I registered here, I didn't have just about any kind of knowledge of my own faith...the people here have helped me tremendously. ----------- Mary's Knight, Amen!!! ---------- Cmom... I'll try to...thats all I can do...try harder to understand and keep praying. ------- God bless. I miss Laudate Dominum.

RandomProddy Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 Hmm. Well if it's here to stay, I'll try to live with it..
Quietfire Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 (edited) Actually, in reference to the red lettering. In all honesty, if someone professes to be Non-Catholic in their "Group" status, then there really should be no need to do the red letter thing. On the other hand, if someone simply listed themselves as a "Phatmasser" but are truly Non-Catholic, then I can understand the red lettering. Otherwise, people like me, who wish to learn may be lead incorrectly as to the teachings of the Church. Maybe, if there is an option under Non-Catholic for one to choose which particular Protestant religion they are, then that may help. Peace. Edited June 23, 2004 by Quietfire

[/quote] Maybe, I mean there seems to be no difference in title between an Anglican (99.9999% Catholic) and a satanist. Meh, I don't really care that much
Quietfire Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 [quote](Me)Maybe, if there is an option under Non-Catholic for one to choose which particular Protestant religion they are, then that may help.[/quote] Hey, I only suggested it so that it wouldnt have to simply state "NON-CATHOLIC". Often times, we have to ask specifically what denomination you are affiliated with, what you believe in, and if you believe it. Or some dont tell which denomination they are with, state their beliefs here and there, and it becomes a guessing game as to which specific denomination they are with. If youre a Lutheran, then be proud of it. If youre a Born-Again, then be proud of that. I personally dont care, to tell you the truth. Except that there are quite a few phatmassers who arent Catholic and it throws me off when they post and I have to try to remember, "Oh, yeah. That's right. So and so isnt Catholic. That's why he/she stated that." Especially when they use the same avatars as a Catholic phatmasser. I have made it clear that I am Catholic by desire. If dUSt decided to smack that across my "group", I wouldnt have an issue with it. Until I am confirmed. But at least everyone would know where I'm at. I have had some here assume that I am Catholic, and gently correct me, only to find out that I have not been received and am still learning. (That's how Likos and I became friends.) [b]If you have a better idea, than state it.[/b] Unless picking on my suggestion makes you feel all fuzzy inside, then have a ball. Otherwise, why post about the red letters, if you like them? If you like them, [b]good[/b]. Now get on with it. Peace.
XIX Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 I have a better idea. Maybe...just make the lettering black or something. Maybe it's just a crummy idea.
