Zone1 why do some Protestants think that only they are Christians and the Catholics are not?

[hobelim]

as we are targeted with so much hatred.

I tell a catholic that its wrong to worship anything made by human hands, something their own church teaches, and they accuse me of being a religious nutjob filled with anger and hatred. Even though its the irrefutable truth.

Are you sure its hatred from others or guilt ridden self loathing you vomit on anyone who disturbs your slumber?

You listen to the word of God? Pft. You are an idolator. A sin under penalty of death. so there is no need to wait!

YOU HAVE YOUR REWARD ALREADY

Crying won't help. Prayer will do you no good. Only the honest contrite and repentant can rise from the dead.

And you don't seem to have what it takes so enjoy your delusions!

I fear only the one who can destroy my soul in hell, certainly not you. And He loves me.

Of course I cannot destroy your soul in hell. You are doing that all by yourself. I am just making you aware that you have already died and descended into hell a very long time, decades ago, for YOUR OWN BRAZEN SINS.

And He loves me.

Sure he does. I bet it was love at first sight!

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

it seems that in the US the term Christian often means Protestant only

and excludes Catholics

why is that so?

Because American "Christianity" is dominated by vocal nationalist evangelicals who are to all intents and purposes modern day Puritans.

Puritans always believed they were better than everyone else, more "chosen" than others.

yes, that really explaines it.

 

[MisterBeale]

Catholic Church teaches praying to Mary for blessing's and forgiveness which isn't in the Bible.

o'rly?

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

yes, that really explaines it.

The US is crammed with fake Christians, often highly political and very vocal support for trump and his racist policies. These fakes really don't grasp how truly primitive they look to Christians from other countries.

 

[MisterBeale]

As a Catholic, the totality of my relationship with Mary includes asking her to pray for me and also to ask her son to hear my prayers.

What do you believe happened when Jesus "turned water into wine" when the wine ran out at the wedding? What was the subject of miracle? Water and wine? What does water and wine represent according the OT?

I don't have a lot of patience for your type of crazy. I admire your commitment to it, but I have no desire to get tangled up in it.

lol. I'll make it simple enough for anyone as sane as you. lol. The wine running out means the happy conversation ran dry. Not surprising that it would happen during brutal Roman occupation and oppression. What happy future could the newlyweds possibly celebrate? Mary nudged Jesus to do something, (to talk about the ideas that he was working on), to which he responded, "Woman! My time has not yet come.", but he relented and so Jesus took the water of life, the bitter realities of life under Roman occupation, and turned it into an intoxicating subject.

Saving the best conversation, the best wine, for last. Everyone was satisfied. Even ecstatic.

I don't have patience for anyone who doesn't have patience for thinking so you figure out what that subject was.

Or don't.

 

[MisterBeale]

Catholics are the new Jews.

". . . when Jews have interfaith marriages, they disproportionately marry Catholics.

According to the U.S. Religion Landscape Survey conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, 39% of interfaith married Jews are married to Catholics, even though Protestants outnumber Catholics in the U.S. by nearly two to one. Only 23% of interfaith married Jews are married to Protestants. Overall, slightly less than a third of all married Jews are in interfaith marriages."

The mere fact that you can even conceive of God acting like that towards one of His children says a lot about you, and none of it good.

Nope, that's not the way it happened. For those of us who actually read the Word of God, here's what happened. They had a wedding and ran out of wine. Knowing that Jesus could do something about that, they approached His mother to get Him to do something. He changed ritual cleansing water into very good wine, which surprised the partygoers who were accustomed to the host serving the best wine early and bringing out the cheap stuff after everyone got too drunk to tell the difference.

You know, how it's actually written.

No, you pretend to not have patience because you rapidly get tied up in knots as you desperately try to explain away what the Bible is actually saying.

 

[hobelim]

Wrong.

You are deep into the depths of hell and have been ever since you set aside the law that prohibits the worship of anything that is not God and turned to a trinity that diddled a virgin to become a mangod for spiritual life. Derp.

You have chosen spiritual death, hell, existence without life, without God, in loony land, and if you do not repent, permanent destruction when your body dies. Thats what you're mixed up in. Thats the road you are crawling on.

You are not on the road that leads to hell. You are already in hell, Gehenna, like a maggot feasting on the fetid trash discarded by higher intelligences. You are on the road that leads to permanent destruction. Believe it or not.

You have been deceived, misled, "beguiled" by a direct descendant of that ever elusive talking serpent of old.

Sucker.

The mere fact that you can even conceive of God acting like that towards one of His children says a lot about you, and none of it good.

I am not conceiving God to act like that, I am showing you that you have mistaken Satan, a fake trinity, for God. When a frightened little lost sheep cries out to God in a dark forest, Baaa, the wolf will come, but it's not to help.

And you can't even quote Scripture, only resort to ever more juvenile attempts at insults. It's sad to see a supposed adult act that way.

I quoted scripture that reveals, as it is actually written, that Jesus cured a blindness of perception, not sight. Yet you have failed to acknowledge this truth which makes you the object of ridicule. You are doing this to yourself.

As blind as you are, pretending to see. Its laughable. Seriously how hard is it for a believer to believe that they've been blinded since birth by a brood of vipers? How painful could it possibly be for you to admit that I'm right?

However painful it may be, if you to continue to deny what is the irrefutable truth the pain will only get worse.

The question to ask is, "what evidence would you deem sufficient?", because they don't really want to see evidence, they just want to move the goal posts as soon as you present it.

there is their problem - they have no evidence of the resurrection to present as the romans would have rearrested their prisoner and reasserted their authority - the confrontation never occurred.
