I took Catechism when I was a child at the Catholic Church. Though I've always been thankful  for it, there are fallacies. The major one is confession. That is not the teaching of the Christ. Christ died for our sins not for us to sin. If you don't repent and quit sinning your not saved.

Those sins being"fornication, adultery, sodomy, lying, stealing, and murdering". Christians are to associate with everybody in the world except phony Christians. It stands as a symbol of their not entering the kingdom of our Lord. The church is to expel those individuals.

The Pope is advocating sin when he says to accept homosexual civil union. He also said we must eliminate nation states. Which is globalization. That will happen sometime after The Temple is rebuilt.

       Today you hear many claiming to be Christian but are liars. Those attending lying churches are liars. Jesus said "few will see the kingdom of God".  Proselytizing means to convert. That is our number one duty. To bring people to Christ. And the Pope is evil when he tells you not to.

    All those Gay churches are deceivers. The world is transitioning to the type of society described in 2 Thess 2  

The All Consuming Fire is real.  It is our duty to proselytize. 

My first year at Colorado School of Mines, all freshman took the same classes. One being explosives. I ended up working in a mine that summer, a mile underground. One day I was in the lunch room when this guy walks in; he had been air blasted and looked like a brown Pillsbury Doughboy. He came real close to death. I should have gone to management because they obviously calculated the safe distance wrong. Well later a couple guys got killed. I couldn't believe the mining company was so incompetent. 

The point being is, to this day, I feel guilty because I did nothing and could have prevented it. I can't imagine eternity thinking about those I could have led to the Christ.

I also went to the RCC thirty years, and yes, I learned good morals, hard work, some Latin, great education in the parochial schools, and much about right vs wrong. But, they never told me I must be saved, born again, the gospel. Then at a baptist funeral service I heard the gospel and later was saved.

I sin, just like God says I do/will, that if I say I do not sin, I call him a liar. But all, all my sins have been forgiven, once for all.
You said;   "If you don't repent and quit sinning your not saved."     I agree that if someone never ever repents then it is likely they were never born of the spirit. But all born again Christians sin, and eventually repent, just like King David, who killed a man and took his wife,  but was called by God was a man after God's own heart, and eventually did repent. (Read Psalms 51)
God chastises those whom he loves, those who are his own (children) He will get their attention, and their repentance.

You may still have a lingering of the RCC in you, that has to do with works salvation. (I did) But now,  I do good works because I have been saved, and NOT in order to "qualify" to be saved. 

I agree our priority is to share the gospel by sowing seeds of the gospel. But I do not judge someone's salvation by their character, or lac thereof. That is God's job and surely not mine. If anything, I should pray for them and not curse them.

It is good to find another brother who has escaped the Roman catholic false dogma. I quit worrying about el popo. God will take care of him in due time.   Our God is a jealous God,  and I wouldn't like to be somebody who declares himself God on earth!!...default_cool2.gif.304ba3d27b6057349d2b7bac05e4d5df.gif

Thanks, Babbler..      (hang in there brother:)

I too was a steadfast Roman Catholic boy and enjoyed releasing souls from purgatory when praying my rosary, but wonderfully God had plans for salvation for me.

One day in October 1996 I was walking out from a local shopping centre into the mall when I stopped to read a testimony or two pinned up on a board - these were about how people with troubled and wayward lives were rescued from their circumstances when they believed the gospel and got water baptized and then received the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the sign of speaking in a new tongue. Wow that blew my socks off.

I read the scriptures about the Holy Spirit and about miracles and healings and the transforming power of God that could take an evil drug addicted junkie like myself and change me into a son of God with blessings galore. I read and I read, and for the first time in my life I read much about the Holy Spirit - his power and his purpose in a disciple's walk.

I knew I was excited to embrace this new gospel but I was still so loyal to all that RC upbringing. It was hard to let go.

But on that Sunday afternoon when I received the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues (as Jesus promised believers would) I was set free indeed. I was immediately released without pain or suffering from all my addictions - no more cigarettes, no more marijuana, no more shooting up amphetamines, no more need for alcohol.

I am free from the power of the world and sin.

We live in dangerous times because most do not preach sound doctrine anymore, but instead provide teachers that will tickle the ears of their gullible audiences [and take their money].

Matthew 7:13  Enter ye by the narrow gate: for wide and spacious is the way that leadeth unto the destruction, and many are they that enter thereby. 
14  Because narrow the gate, and straitened the way that leadeth unto the life, and few are they that find it.

some are going to think that's a bit gross to be outside the adult forum.   I guess I'd have to say a bit inappropriate.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
