dairygirl4u2c Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 i agree that i don't think it's wrong to bow for respect only. but it's not completely far fetched to think you shouldn't at all. and with that thought in my last post, then it's not necessarily against Budge as you've all thought. i simply doubt she has the abilty to critically defend herself.

Even after you explain it to them in detail, it just goes in one ear and then out the other. Typicial conversation: Budge-like anti-Catholic person: You worship the saints and their images. Catholic: No we pray to our saints to intercede for us, to pray for us. Kind of like asking our friends here on earth to pray for us. Budge-like anti-Catholic person: So, then why do you worship the saints and their images? Catholic: Oh, brother.[/quote] and I have seen that over and over!
dairygirl4u2c Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 ha, funny cause it's true. including the budge like person.
jeffpugh Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 as an aside, I find it funny that we labeled that kind of person a Budge... and then come the many puns... I won't budge on that one though.

On the subject of the Commandments, the score is Moses 10, Budge zero. Just wondering if you plan to take your anti-Catholic bigotry with you into heaven? I don't think so. "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." Likos[/quote] that was a funny post.......lol budge, the problem with your argument against catholics is that you act as if God is ready to zap us down.......on the contrary, God is a god of great patience, slow to wrath, much mercy, the list goes on and on.....why ? becuz his name is "LOVE" John says in the bible that "WHOEVER CALLS ON THE LORD WILL BE SAVED " So your arguement that God is unhappy with catholics and that were condemed is quite entertaining, if not comical........Jesus said his burden is light.........Whoever doe not eat his body and drink his blood has no life in them.......these were his words.....so back to my main point.........God is not looking to zap people down.......catholics have alot of fruits to show that they walk in love and peace just as the lord has instructed.....going into chuch and seeing Christ on the cross is inspirational.....because it comes back to what salvation is about....the cross....not how to get rich and thank God later.....and many catholics profess his name so on that day he will also profess their name to the father.......godbless Edited July 19, 2007 by Guest
