Today is Ash Wednesday.

The drink.

^^this

Good call, going to do the same thing as you, starting today.

Indeed. A bit of sacrificing to honour the suffering of our Lord did on our behalf would not hurt.

I stopped drinking 13 years ago today.

Good on you..

Your history of the compilation of the books that
make up the Bible is abbreviated (to say the least)

To begin with, the CHURCH of Jesus Christ, is NOT
a building, or an institution, such as the apostate
institution known as the R.C.C., but it is, and
always has been, and always will be,
"THE REDEEMED".

Those who have believed in Jesus,
acknowledged Him for who He is, repented of their
sins, been BORN OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD, (born again)
and sought Jesus as their one and only Savior,
such as the thief on the cross, and everyone who
followed afterward.

Roman Catholics can be among that number, as long
as they accept the Gospel, above the apostate
abominable institution into which they were born.

MANY have come out from the R.C.C. to be saved
by the Blood of Jesus Christ, and Lord Willing
all who possibly can, will.


BTW, I know, because I am one of them.


You are close but not quite.
The Church is Jesus Christ. Namely the Church on Earth is the Mystical Body of Christ and to become a member you simply need to have Jesus Christ reign King of your soul. Fairly simple but the only way I know of for Jesus who is a ManGod can enter your soul is through the miracle of the Holy Spirit turning simple bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ and then you worthily consume this Jesus disguised as bread and wine. Dont believe this? Well you are not alone. Many disciples like you came to believe in John Chapter 3 and then stopped believing in John Chapter 6. Why did they stop believing in John Chapter 6?

I was given two months to live. I really didn’t give a shit though. A higher power showed me how to give a shit lol. Thank God. If I can anyone can

I will not relent

It's all astrological bullshit plagiarized from Babylon, Egypt and Sumer. It goes back to the earliest intelligent life recognizing the sun as a god.

People should be ashamed for clinging to that corrupt Pedophile church.

How many children will be raped by catholic priests today?

There.

Fixed.

To the one who speaks of angels/saints. We are not to worship angels or saints and do you realize we shall (future) be above angels (we shall rule over them).

All mankinds "holidays" are an abomination to God. Read Matthew 15:9.

Nope, the biblical calendar is LUNAR, NOT SOLAR. Read Leviticus 23.

Far less than school teachers, lawyers, doctors, and scientists. Sexual abuse is at much higher rates in the general population than in the Catholic church. Since they're cracking down on it now hopefully it will never be a problem again.

On my timeline crab and lobster have always been considered a luxury food.

Pagan tradition tied to the weeping of Tammuz. Show me at least two verses in the Bible that’s says t9 observe such pagan traditions.

That is why you posted this? To slam religion?

Fuck off, idiot.

Not true.

No, I'm not slamming religion. I don't know why you would think that.

Duh. Lent is high observance for Catholics, and then you post, " Lol, the Bible is a Catholic book".

Moran.

Me Too

If the Bible is a Catholic book:



1. Why does it condemn clerical dress? (Matt. 23:5-6).

2. Why does it teach against the adoration of Mary? (Luke 11:27-28).

3. Why does it show that all Christians are priests? (1 Pet. 2:5,9).

4. Why does it condemn the observance of special days? (Gal. 4:9-11).

5. Why does it teach that all Christians are saints? (1 Cor. 1:2).

6. Why does it condemn the making and adoration of images? (Ex. 20:4-5).

7. Why does it teach that baptism is immersion instead of pouring? (Col. 2:12).

8. Why does it forbid us to address religious leaders as "father"? (Matt. 23:9).

9. Why does it teach that Christ is the only foundation and not the apostle Peter? (1 Cor. 3:11).

10. Why does it teach that there is one mediator instead of many? (1 Tim. 2:5).

11. Why does it teach that a bishop must be a married man? (1 Tim. 3:2, 4-5).

12. Why is it opposed to the primacy of Peter? (Luke 22:24-27).

13. Why does it oppose the idea of purgatory? (Luke 16:26).

14. Why is it completely silent about infant baptism, indulgences, confession to priests, the rosary, the mass, and many other things in the Catholic Church?

"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days"


"Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 21(Touch not; taste not; handle not; 22Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?"
