I see. So, in essence, they cannot possibly know the bible or anything about the Christian faith because they do not agree with you? You, therefore, are the sole authority in these matters?
How can we get rid of our sinfulness?

If you want to use that answer against me, than I have to state the truth of the matter: Yes!
As of now, not any of you have given me any hope of salvation other than through the Catholic Church.
But I have given you all hope in Salvation by Jesus Christ alone!
Can you deny that?
I have patiently demonstrated love in response to condemnation, slandering remarks in [FONT="]lieu[/FONT] of advancing the love of Christ which is in me.

No! I am not a sole authority but a point of view that runs contrary to what they believe.
If the presentation of my views excite anger and condemnation from them, then I'd say they should examine their own beliefs.
And it is obvious that they don't understand the scriptures because they all told me that the bible is off limits to any private interpretation other than through the Catholic Church in which according to them is the sole interpreter of the scriptures.
Thus making of the bible of less importance over the Church.
I hold the bible as the sacred words of God and in them I find Jesus to be the Savior of my soul and none other.
Peace>>>AJ:love9:
There you see! Here is another remark that shows a lack of understanding.
But, I understand that and therefore have no ill will towards you.
But my heart yearns to educate and or convey the love of Christ in these cases.
Peace>>>AJ:love9:
I have been saying that all along. And have been [FONT="]ostracized [/FONT]for it.
Peace>>>AJ:love9:
hey sorry for butting into this thread with an irrelavency, but i've noticed there are some who dwell only in this part of the website and never leave. Perhaps one or two of them would like to take a quick perusal of the "FINAL VOTE" thread on the new ranking systems. we're lacking in votes and would appreciate more
thanks
thanks
That is fine. Sanctus is a priest of the Catholic Church and is honored as such by me.
God has him there and until God changes His mind, he will remain a priest there.
I in turn am a priest over my own house, meaning that I offer spiritual sacrifices to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Jesus is my High Priest.
Rev 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
That verse is in harmony with everything Jesus thought us and in harmony with all the rest of Gods word the bible.

Again, you avoid the point. That is our problem with this whole thing AJ. You claim this, you claim that, and have the audacity to claim that because we disagree, we must be spiritually vacant. Yet, you are the one who gave the example of the mechanic. But as usual, you don't deal with the actual point.
I am glad you can find solace in something. You probably are quite content; much like some poor kid in Africa born into squalor doesn't know any other kind of life finds it normal to raid garbage dumps for food all day long.
What word did I twist around? You apparently perceived mary as attacking you. I saw sympathy. Our views differed. There's no twisting. Why not mention names? I dislike you as an extremely arrogant, vain, deluded individual so I attacked you. I really dislike huge egos. Simple as that.
So?
No defeat intended. My attack was intended to wake you up to the reality that you are not ultimate, but simply just another plain old human being.
Well, if I were this mythical being I'd take exception to you spouting off that you can lead people to Yahweh. That would not bode well for you. So all I can comment about this is that it is really fortunate for you that Christ and Yahweh aren't real. You'd be toast.
BS, you have condemned them as beings lesser than you and did it several times. Wake up.
Whether they want it or not, and even if the church has to force it on them. Exactly. "Believe in this fantasy or else".
Cruel and indifferent? Like at any time in history? Like now? Whatta shocker! "i love you but I'm going to kill your newborn later". "Oh, shucks, I let a tsunami loose and it killed a few thousand. Oh, well, there's lots more where those came from".
Indifferent? Cruel? Count em: Deaths in the Bible. God - 2,270,365 not including the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers were given. Satan - 10
"I am nobody special", he says now, yet earlier it was, "I have reached the apex of faith and love and I can lead people to god" and "no-one here has reached the plane that I have reached". Yeah, sounds like no-one special. :roll:
Admittance of a problem is the first step. Good.
No, you haven't. All you've done is given your version of the bible which contradicts the experts' version.
Yes.
Condemnation perhaps. It is only slanderous if it is false. In your case it isn't false.
But you equate yourself to the penultimate of understanding. In other words, you consider yourself to have gotten to the point you can go no further; the perfect human being. Delusion.
Wrong, it should tell you that you set up resistance by the way you speak. Getting people upset with your talk of how good you are and how much better you are than they will never give them anything but resentment.
Different interpretations of the bible being off limits is not what they said. What they said is that your interpretations are wrong. You are a self-proclaimed expert and you think your interpretations are the cat's meow of all interpretations.
Your analysis is wrong. You have been waaaaay too busy expressing your views that you cannot understand what anyone has been saying.
Whooppee ding. You are only one among millions.
No you haven't. It's other remarks you made that sprouted that.
