@DPGBehler Would you spit on an icon of Jesus?

I won’t kiss an icon, and I gladly accept the RC and EO anathema for it.

@Mustang1by81 @RachelToRome We have nothing to do with initial grace. "Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." Phil 2:12

@Jonstebap @RachelToRome The response is how we know. But I was dead. Now I am alive. I had nothing to do with that.

@Mustang1by81 @RachelToRome severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.

@Mustang1by81 @RachelToRome In Romans 11:20–22, who is Paul speaking to? That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. Note then the kindness and the

@Mustang1by81 @RachelToRome Grace enables the response; it doesn't replace it. We receive its grace & cooperate with it (Phil 2:12-13). Faith working through love (Gal 5:6)

@Jonstebap @RachelToRome If your salvation is conditional on you then it is not dependent on the cross. It is the sacrifice at the cross and the grave he sheds on us that changes everything. Otherwise it is just religious drivel.

@Mustang1by81 @RachelToRome A large number of Protestants believe that a Christian can lose their salvation. I am free to cooperate with God’s grace, and I am also free to reject it. God will not force me to choose heaven.

@Jonstebap @RachelToRome And only RC see the world as having 2 sides lol

@bobmcnap @RachelToRome God wants everyone to be saved, but not everyone will go to heaven. “Who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 1 Timothy 2:4

@Jonstebap @RachelToRome Yeah and those who Jesus died for will endure to the end. You can’t lose your salvation

@Mustang1by81 @RachelToRome Both sides agree salvation is by grace and that Christ's cross is central and sufficient, the divide is more about how grace transforms and involves the human person.

@RachelToRome What about Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross is insufficient for these people.

@bobmcnap @RachelToRome The gospel has a future dimension. Matt 24:13, Jesus says, “The one who endures to the end will be saved,”

@RachelToRome Goodness gracious…. Imagine saying Christs death in the cross give me a good chance to going to heaven You people are so lost…

You walked past Him today.

Jesus Christ is truly present in the Eucharist at every Catholic Church. If I said I was giving away a million dollars to everyone who came to my house, you’d line up to get it. God is giving you Himself at every Mass. Why aren’t you crawling over broken glass to receive Him?

@stew_hosk @BreeSolstad No

@BreeSolstad It's Idolatry!

@NpcCorrectness @BreeSolstad Liar

@BreeSolstad Because it’s not Him.

That’s an awful lot of words just to say, “I have no clue what ‘worship’, ‘veneration’, or ‘devotion’ even mean.”

@mattforney Every single week, there are sex scandals in Protestant churches. I know Protestant men and women whom I wouldn’t even say struggle with sexual sin, because they don’t seem to want to fight it. As an ex-Protestant, I can say the grass is not greener on the Protestant side.

I lose tons of followers whenever I criticize the Catholic Church. I don't care. You nïggäs are dead set on proving why the early Americans considered you subversives. I was raised Catholic, went to a Catholic high school, got confirmed. My high school had an Amnesty International chapter and my religion teachers had "No Human Being is Illegal" posters on their classroom walls. This was in the oughts. The Catholic Church is functionally a Marxist child rape cult that makes Epstein look like a high school prank. The trad Catholic Dimes Square shit is a LARP. Even its own adherents know it's a LARP. They go to Mass at 7pm instead of in the morning like normal people because they're too busy sleeping off hangovers and washing cum out of their hair. Catholic clergy and Catholic NGOs are engaged in white genocide. The pope---who Catholics MUST obey on pain of going to Hell---is an open borders globalist. Don't blame the Jews. The call is coming from inside the house. White evangelicals are the backbone of right-wing politics in America. They show up in large enough numbers to swing the polls. They opposed COVID lockdowns. They supported Trump. "But muh Israel." Fuck off. Catholics are split 50/50 at most in their voting preferences. Again, I was raised Catholic, do not even attempt to gaslight me on this. If Catholics get more upset at me then at their pedo Marxist priests, they're proving my point. Fix the problem. I would not have an issue with the Church if it wasn't a nest of snakes. Pretty buildings and the Church Doctors can only take you so far.

“St. Patrick was a Presbyterian and a Protestant”??? 🤣 Then please explain why he believed in: • the Sacrifice of the Mass—which he celebrated himself, obviously • the Church is built on Peter • the papacy • confession to a priest • absolution from a priest • purgatory • loss of salvation • baptismal regeneration • merit • fasting • penance We’ll wait.

My poll shows that the vast majority of people who understand Calvinism, know that Calvinism says God designated people as the non-elect for whom Jesus would not die for, and this happened before the world began. Think about how Calvinism portrays God as unloving.

@SamRiley95 “St. James’s epistle is really a right strawy epistle, compared to these others [Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, 1 Peter, and 1 John], for it has nothing of the nature of the gospel about it.” - Martin Luther

@Jonstebap Theology on tap night at the local Our Lady of Perpetual Grace, Mercies, and Dispenser of All Things Heavenly Parish.

Papists do the exact same thing as leftists when critized. "You're anti-Catholic!" Is the same as "You're a bigot!" No you dolt, you just do a lot of dumb, unbiblical things. If you can't discuss it without whining you have no business discussing anything.

@josephpratt22 @farmingandJesus @BibleInContext1 Desiring God (John Piper's ministry, in an open letter reflecting on Luther's view):"You did remove this statement [the 'strawy epistle' phrase] from all subsequent editions, but I have been unable to find any clear retraction of it, or any evident change in your view later on."

@Jonstebap @farmingandJesus @BibleInContext1 So? He was wrong, and later admitted so. He wasn't infallible—no man is. That was kind of the whole point.

When Roman Catholicism talks about “unity” among all Christians, what they really mean is that every professing Christian must return back to the Roman church and submit to it! The Pope said it: MORTALIUM ANIMOS (1928) ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS XI ON RELIGIOUS UNITY “So, Venerable Brethren, it is clear why this Apostolic See has never allowed its subjects to take part in the assemblies of non-Catholics: for the union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it, for in the past they have unhappily left it.” “Let, therefore, the separated children draw nigh to the Apostolic See, set up in the City which Peter and Paul, the Princes of the Apostles, consecrated by their blood; to that See, We repeat, which is "the root and womb whence the Church of God springs," not with the intention and the hope that "the Church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth" will cast aside the integrity of the faith and tolerate their errors, but, on the contrary, that they themselves submit to its teaching and government.” “You, Venerable Brethren, understand how much this question is in Our mind, and We desire that Our children should also know, not only those who belong to the Catholic community, but also those who are separated from Us: if these latter humbly beg light from heaven, there is no doubt but that they will recognize the one true Church of Jesus Christ and will, at last, enter it, being united with us in perfect charity.” Do not be deceived! vatican.va/content/pius-x…
