Not By Works

Yes, I see your point, however thankfully most of us hear, only count GENUINE FAITH that IS ETERNAL, and the temporary faith, is those who have not been BORN AGAIN yet.

Here is another example of Temporary Faith:

James 2:19 (NIV)
19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that--and shudder.

Men are also incredibly visually stimulated. There's the problem. The other problem is most women know that men are turned on visually and dress provocatively because, if they were honest, they adore the attention. They enjoy that feeling of power and control.

It's why the beauty industry is a billion dollar business. Women tie up so much of their worth in their looks, that when their looks start to fade (usually with that first wrinkle or gray hair) they panic, and buy any product that promises them a youthful look.

Back in my drinking days, there was nothing sadder than that woman in a bar that no one bought a drink for. Who has come to the realization that the days of men fawning over her were over.

Yet, I'd take a mature, wise, and confident woman, over a young, gum-snapping, drama-laden, looks-obsessed younger woman any day of the week.

Not to say all older women or younger women are like that, of course.

no, it's not.

Mary can not hear them, she is not god, thus she is not omnipresent.

no, it's not.

Catholics do not worship Mary.
Don't you know anything???????
Post something that states CAtholics worship Mary.

Capital G, bro.. Capital G!!!

lol

Worship; treat (someone or something) with the reverence and adoration appropriate to a deity.

Catechism of the Catholic church
"971 "All generations will call me blessed": "The Church's devotion to the Blessed Virgin is intrinsic to Christian worship."515 The Church rightly honors "the Blessed Virgin with special devotion. From the most ancient times the Blessed Virgin has been honored with the title of 'Mother of God,' to whose protection the faithful fly in all their dangers and needs. . . . This very special devotion . . . differs essentially from the adoration which is given to the incarnate Word and equally to the Father and the Holy Spirit, and greatly fosters this adoration."516 The liturgical feasts dedicated to the Mother of God and Marian prayer, such as the rosary, an "epitome of the whole Gospel," express this devotion to the Virgin Mary.517"

Luke 4:8
And Jesus answered and said unto him, It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

This is a little off topic of this thread but since we are speaking about church a lot in it, what is a non-denominatial church, really? Is it a church of works, nonreligious, or is it a con on Christians to take them about from a denominational church?

Non-denominational is like going to a store and the label just reads "food" YOU DONT KNOW what you're gonna get. Most non-denominational churches around here are split offs from one of the bigger denominations, one charismatic leader split off cause they didnt give him no leadership in the previous church, now hes the big dog in the yard. CUT THAT CHECK BWOI

Atleast if it says: Pentecostal, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran etc. You know whats what.

You're taking those verses and overreaching. Jesus does not, I repeat, does not control the Holy Spirit or, for that matter, the Father. By your definition, they are like pets at the beck and call of Jesus.

They are co-equal. If either "controlled" the other, that equality would be shattered.

Not to mention they are ALL on the same page so to speak......each unique, but the same in power, scope and purpose....1 GOD manifested 3 ways.......

I have spent time with Catholics that are Born Again, and I have to suspect you haven't. There is a Split festering that will one day will separate the Catholic-Catholics from the Christian-Catholics. It has been going on since the early 60's. Any Church that teaches these things is ONE of HIS Churches. AND REMEMBER, there are 5 CHURCHES that received Condemnation from CHRIST; and the one of those five is the Catholic Church. The style of Church it is, does not Necessarily fall along denominational barriers. The CHURCH is largely dependent upon what type of Christian the PASTOR IS. You have been so busy HATING THE CATHOLICS, that it has blinded you to the truly born again Christian Brothers and Sisters, that exist among the their denomination.

.

BUT CHRIST RECOGNIZES THEM ALSO, so I am NOT going recognize LESS than HE DID. <------FALSE

^To add to what brother dcon said.

If you look at MOST Reformers in the 1500s they were all UNANIMOUS in declaring pope to be the antichrist. There is THAT , too!

Btw I find it amazing that Lutherans, episcopalians, church of england etc etc are going BACK to the catholic church with the ecumenical garbage. Whatever happened to the reformation?

I could care less what the above states....the Catholic church is not of God end of story.....and no where does he recognize the Catholic Church as a church from God.......from it's ORIGIN to what it espouses and the fact that EVERY catholic I know makes it plain and clear that they are NOT christian, but CATHOLIC speaks volumes

a. Pope worshiped as God
b. Pope's word overrides scripture
c. Infant baptism
d. Sacramental salvation
e. The worship of statues
f. The worship of finger nails, hair, teeth and bone fragments
g. The right to prepay for sins
h. Purgatory
i. Pope can make saints
j. Pray people out of hell
k. Rosary
l. Worship of Mary and her having intercessory power
m. Bread and wine turned into the actual flesh and blood of Christ
n. Universal church
o. Embracing all other branches of so called Christianity
p. Mother Church
q. Idol of JESUS in every building
etc

NO WAY.....and I have no problem in saying they are not of God and from Satan if anything......and I stand by my post...to say they are one of the Lord's churches is the most ignorant statement I have ever heard a believer spew........

They are NOT of GOD........they are as false as they come and even their origin is false....NOT TO MENTION THE FACT they KILLED, MURDERED, RAPED, BURNED, CRUCIFIED, DROWNED etc. some 60 to 80 MILLION people during the dark ages that REFUSED to confess int he ears of a priest and or take communion with the Catholic church......read the Foxe's Book of Martyrs or the Churches of the Valleys of Piedmont......then tell me they are one of God's churches.....

I cannot believe you would espouse and support such a SATANIC organization, much less state they are one of the LORD'S churches....that is idiotic
