AOG/Catholic marriage

[TEXASGRANDMA]

Jen,

I tried for 15 years to bring my husband to the Lord, through every way I thought possible. Finally, I put him, in God's hands. He is now saved. When my son left the Church, I soon realized that he was not interested in anything I had to say about God. So, I begin to pray for God to send someone to my son that he would listen to. Two years ago God brought my son back into fellowship with Him. Next week, my son starts (AOG college)because he feels God is calling him into some kind of ministry. So yes God does answer prayers for our loved ones. Sometimes, we can only live a life that they can see Jesus in and not try to wittness to them. When my son was ready, he did began to ask me questions. It is very hard to see our loved ones pull away from God and not react. But, God does answer prayer. Hang in there my sister.

God bless you,

(by the way my daughter is named jennifer and she goes by jen, too.

I certainly agree that believing prayer & a life lived in the power of the Holy Spirit is the POWERFUL & MOST PRODUCTIVE way to go. However, since someone else brot the matter up about the Church of Rome being "Christian", I must offer a demurrer. It is entirely wrong & unacceptable in every sense of those two words - in the light of Hebrews Chapter Ten - to sacrifice the Lord Jesus Christ over & over & over again, times without number - as in the Roman sacrifice of its mass, a repugnant practice of the Vatican unknown in Holy Writ! Why keep Jesus Christ ON the cross when He had to die & rise again only ONE TIME?

And, too, Roman philosophy re a papacy, its infallibility, a strange in-between place called purgatory, a confessional box, Mary's "immaculate conception," her "bodily assumption," "cardinals, archbishops, nuns" aplenty: Pray tell, what is biblical or Christian about all that baggage?

NEITHER Jesus Christ NOR His Apostles or any associates claimed "Roman Catholicism" as I.D.

I will grant Ravenlost her wish as she stated in her first post and not turn this into a Catholic vs. NonCatholic debate. However, as a Catholic, I must point out that Art is not a Catholic and it is obvious that he doesn't understand what the Catholic Church truely teaches. Art if you wish to debate Catholicism send me a PM. I would be happy to educate you about the Church.

According to Catholic theology on the Mass, Christ is only sacrificed ONCE.

And, too, Roman philosophy re a papacy, its infallibility,

Infallibility on matters of faith is not a strange, but entirely biblical thing. The apostles could write on matters of the faith infallibly- that's why they are in the bible.

a strange in-between place called purgatory,

Purgatory is not an in-between place. Most people's understanding of purgatory is very wrong.

a confessional box,

Confession is found in the bible.

If you would like to continue this further, please create a topic to spout your nonsense somewhere else and let's discuss it. If the moderators want to delete his and my post, that's fine with me. However, I felt the need to answer some of his needless attacks.

I don't follow your exuberant response....so it's okay & quite biblical to crucify the Lord Jesus Christ a million times in the Roman sacrifice of the mass? Why suspend oneself in amber on this extremely important point?

I quickly remind you that someone else brot the matter up re Romanism being "Christian." I offered a simple demurrer.

Hi Arthur,

I'm not sure why I "like" you despite your virulent attacks on the RCC????

Love the sinner,hate the sin, I guess.

I would love to clear up this common misunderstanding of "sacrificing Jesus over and over". That is NOT RCC teaching AT ALL.

Please start a new thread explaining exactly what you mean by that and I'm sure the RC's will be glad to discuss this with you.

Bless you Arthur. Always stay as sweet as you are!

Love ya, Bro'.
