Zone1 What is Roman Catholicism ??

I've already baptized you, Francis.

I haven't been in your presence to be baptized. And, I'm still alive. You seem dazed and confused after the slap down I've given you.

Doesn't matter. It's already done.

I will be told who you are during the millennium and will do your work for you. Although you still can get baptized now by contacting your local missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

 

[BackAgain]

So it has to do with differentiating themselves from the Greek Orthodox Church. ? Are you sure about that.??

Did you not see the word “guess” in his post?

No thanks. Make sure to tell your deacon I baptized you without your consent.

When I was teaching at the Catholic high school, I heard that the Pope has some special ritual he does that makes things like baptism and marriages outside the RCC approved or Catholic. Do you know what I was told? That Catholics do things without my permission.

Great story. But unless he was baptizing the dead, I don't see the relevance.

So, you don’t know this. He posthumously brings all into the RCC. Dead or alive. Then there’s Halloween all Hallows Eve for the dead. Ya, a poor substitute for simple baptism for the dead stated by Paul.

Not even close to being the same.

Of course it is! I didn’t approve of the Pope making me a member of the RCC. We don’t even make a person we baptize who is dead a member. We do the ordinance in case a person wants to become a member. Big difference!

I'm not going to argue with you about it. It's disrespectful and wrong.

I agree! The Pope should be fired!

 

[whutTHEYsay]

The Catholic Church's core beliefs revolve around the Trinity, the Incarnation, and the Church's role in salvation. Catholics believe in one God who exists as three distinct yet inseparable persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. They also believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became human (the Incarnation), died for the forgiveness of sins, and rose again.

whut I say ~ Nature’s God to a rational mind does not appear to ever interfere with or break the laws of nature as they were created.

So why would the atheist suffer eternal separation from God for respecting the Laws of Nature that Nature’s God created so that we can know what existing in a massive mysterious universe would be like with free will and limited control over all the elements of creation?

You mean besides the 40 or so times Jesus did it?

Catholicism teaches that no one knows their fate or the fate of others. So maybe you should ask protestants that question instead.

We are all currently separated from God while here on earth. We agreed to this in the pre-earth life while we resided with Heavenly Father and his Son. We agreed to learn how to use that freedom of choice with earthly bodies and were placed in our bodies. We come to first receive a body. It’s how we can progress as an intelligent being. Without this, we can’t. The resurrection is a must to live with Father in Heaven again. The atonement where Jesus gives us the payment for our sins if we repent with faith in Jesus Christ for doing that. With that said, the level of our testimony of and in Jesus Christ will decide where we end up. 1Corinthians chapter 15 says we will have 3 possible resurrected bodies. Only one will give your the earned right to live with Father in Heaven. That’s celestial glory body. Two others are mentioned which are heavenly glory bodies but not at the same level and won’t be with Father in Heaven. But, still in Heaven. Only those who reject the Holy Ghost testimony will not be resurrected to a body of glory and will reside tormented by their decision living with Lucifer forever. To them they will feel like it’s a lake of fire:

Now, this knowledge was lost centuries ago. It’s in the Bible but rejected by all churches except one, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Why?

 

[ding]

It’s how we can progress as an intelligent being.

Because we are less intelligent as spiritual beings than we are as human beings?

 

[ding]

Without this, we can’t.

Why not? Isn't anything possible with God?
