@ChristopherHale he says build bridges of conversation, but all he does is dialogue with the extreme right and build bridges of hate against those who question the right -- he never dialogues with the "left"

@R3L3VANTTRUTH That is silly. God doesn’t need us, rather he chooses to use us as instruments of his grace. This is obvious

In Roman Catholicism: Jesus is insufficient as the sole Mediator and requires subordinate heavenly mediators and intercessors. The Holy Spirit is insufficient to guide believers through the God-breathed Scriptures and requires an infallible institution of men to provide the final interpretation. The Father is insufficient to confess sins to directly and requires a human priest to receive sacramental confession. Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice is insufficient and requires continual sacramental representation through the Mass. The finished work of Christ is insufficient and requires postmortem purification in purgatory. The righteousness of Christ is insufficient and requires infused righteousness and sacramental participation to complete the process. Scripture is insufficient as the final and sufficient rule of faith and requires unwritten traditions and an infallible magisterium. The authority of God speaking in Scripture is insufficient and requires an infallible human authority to tell believers what God means. Christ’s headship over the Church is insufficient and requires a universal earthly head. The intercession of Christ is insufficient and requires the intercession of departed saints. The believer’s direct access to God through Christ is insufficient and requires a sacramental priesthood to administer channels of grace. The blood of Christ is insufficient to fully remove punishment and requires temporal penalties to still be paid. Justification through faith in Christ is insufficient and requires sacramental cooperation and ongoing merit. Christ’s declaration “It is finished” is insufficient and requires continuing satisfactions for sin. The priesthood of all believers is insufficient and requires a distinct sacerdotal class standing over the laity. The promises of God are insufficient and require recourse to heavenly patrons and devotions. The ordinary means appointed in Scripture are insufficient and require a developed system of sacramental mediation. The Word of God is insufficiently clear in its essential message and requires an infallible interpreter. The Gospel itself is insufficiently preserved by God and requires an institution claiming indefectibility to safeguard it. This is about as Antichrist and anti-gospel one can get.

Being "alive" in heaven does NOT equal being able to hear prayers. Jesus plainly teaches: "Abraham is dead, and the prophets" -John 8:52. This means they are not functioning as omnipresent listeners. They are awaiting resurrection, not receiving requests from earth. The Bible NEVER teaches that the dead righteous or wicked can hear the prayers of humans. Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 "The dead know nothing… they have no more reward… their love, their hatred, their envy have now perished." This directly contradicts the idea that saints in heaven are actively receiving communication from people on earth. Saints are "alive to God," not alive to humans. Jesus said: Luke 20:3 "He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to Him."This means the righteous dead live in God’s memory until the resurrection not that they interact with Earth. To twist "alive to God" into “able to receive millions of prayers" is adding something Scripture NEVER claims. The Bible strictly forbids trying to communicate with the dead. Even if someone believes the saints are "alive ," God’s command does not change: Deuteronomy 18:10–12 "There shall not be found among you… one who inquires of the dead." All who do these things are an abomination to the LORD. Attempting contact with the dead righteous or wicked is explicitly forbidden. Catholic theology reframes it as "asking for intercession," but functionally, it is inquiry of the dead, which Scripture forbids. There is ONE Mediator, not many “heavenly prayer partners" 1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is ONE God and ONE Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." If saints could hear and pass on prayers, they would be additional mediators contradicting Scripture. The dead cannot hear or respond only God can. Isaiah 8:19 "Should not a people seek their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?" This is a direct condemnation of the entire concept of seeking intercession from the dead, even holy people. Biblical saints do NOT even accept worship or prayer, even angels reject it. John tried to bow to an angel. The angel stopped him: Revelation 22:8–9 "See that you do NOT do that… WORSHIP GOD." If angels refuse human veneration, how much more would mere humans? No one in heaven is omnipresent or omniscient to hear millions of prayers in different languages simultaneously requires: – Omnipresence – Omniscience – Divine hearing Only God has these attributes. To claim saints can hear everyone’s prayer is to ascribe divine powers to humans, which becomes a form of idolatry. Jesus Himself instructs believers to pray ONLY to the Father. Matthew 6:6, "Pray to your Father… Our Father in heaven…" Jesus NEVER taught: – "Ask Mary to pray for you." – "Ask departed saints for intercession." – "Pray through heavenly beings." Jesus taught direct access to God. The early church did NOT pray to saints. The earliest Christian writings (1st–2nd century): – NEVER instruct prayer to saints. – NEVER describe saints receiving prayers. – ALWAYS emphasize direct prayer to God through Christ. The practice arose centuries later, influenced by Greek ancestor cults, Roman hero-veneration, Pagan household deity traditions. It is not apostolic.

Daniel 7, Revelation 13, and 2 Thessalonians 2) talk about the Antichrist power. Here are the identifying characteristics of the Antichrist, each with in‑text Scripture citations: 1. Arises from among the divisions of the Roman Empire (Western Europe) “up among” the ten horns. Daniel 7:8; Daniel 7:24. 2. Emerges from the fourth kingdom (Rome). Daniel 7:7–8, 23–24. 3. A “little horn”/kingdom that is different from the others. Daniel 7:8; Daniel 7:24. 4. Has a man at its head who speaks for it. Daniel 7:8. 5. Uproots/subdues three kingdoms. Daniel 7:8; Daniel 7:24. 6. Speaks “great words”/blasphemies against God. Daniel 7:25; Revelation 13:5–6. 7. Wages war against and persecutes the saints. Daniel 7:21, 25; Revelation 13:7. 8. Intends to change “times and law”. Daniel 7:25. 9. Receives power, seat, and authority from the dragon (Satan working through earthly powers). Revelation 13:2; Revelation 12:9. 10. Rises from the “sea” (a populous area of nations). Revelation 13:1; Revelation 17:15. 11. Composite of the beasts of Daniel 7 (lion, bear, leopard, dreadful beast). Revelation 13:2; Daniel 7 (context). 12. Possesses global political influence. Revelation 13:3, 7. 13. Exercises religious authority and demands worship. Revelation 13:3, 8. 14. Receives a deadly wound. Revelation 13:3. 15. Deadly wound is healed, leading the world to marvel. Revelation 13:3. 16. Rules for 42 months (1,260 prophetic days/years). Revelation 13:5; compare Daniel 7:25 (“time, times, and half a time”). 17. Identified with the number of a man: 666. Revelation 13:18. 18. Claims divine prerogatives (blasphemy), sits in God’s temple, showing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:3–4, 9. 19. Arises after a great falling away (apostasy) within the visible church. 2 Thessalonians 2:3. 20. Operates with signs, power, and lying wonders to deceive. 2 Thessalonians 2:9–10; Revelation 13:13–14.

Dragon = Satan Devil = Satan First Beast = Rome (Papacy) Son of Perdition = Rome (Papacy) Man of Sin = Rome (Papacy) Little Horn = Rome (Papacy) Antichrist = Rome (Papacy) False Prophet = Apostate Protestantism Different prophets, in different times, gave different names, but they all point to the same power. To trace the Beast, follow the empires: 1. Babylon 2. Medo-Persia 3. Greece 4. Roman Empire The Beast system rose from the Roman Empire. That’s not opinion. That’s Bible. Every word above can be proven!!

@UcheMaryOkoli The mother of the body of Jesus only. A spirit was assigned to the body to absorb the pain and suffering until God was ready to puppeteer it. Jesus is a nickname for God.

GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION. Protestants: Mary is not the Mother or God. Catholic: Who is Jesus? Protestants: Jesus is the Son of God. Catholic: Is Jesus God? Protestants: Yes. Jesus is God. Catholic: Who birthed Jesus? Protestants: Mary, of course! Catholic: Does it not mean that Mary is the Mother of God? Protestants: Mary is not the Mother of God. Catholic: 👇👇

That might be the worst analogy I have heard all week. An elf in your garage is not a prophetic religious-political organization described across Daniel, Thessalonians, and Revelation with matching identifiers, timelines, geography, political power, religious authority, persecution history, and global influence. You people keep comparing detailed prophetic arguments to fairy tales because you cannot refute the actual evidence.

Satan has no problem with the Lord’s Prayer being prayed in the Rosary, as long as that person is praying to someone other than God, too. Jesus said, “No one comes to the Father but by me.” The Mary cult adds, “and Mary, other saints, and angels, too!”
