@rickbrennanjr To me, you’ve shown here a very devious and manipulative teaching that never allows a person to understand what “genuine” faith is unless they trust in you to affirm it within them. Catholics have assurance in Jesus Christ and know how to reconcile closer to Him and abide in Him
@antitheistdad That is untrue even today. Atheists are a minority in scientific disciplines and are often in mediocre positions such as education, rote lab techs, or experimental design
@antitheistdad Considering the borrowed nature of “atheist” ontological framework, of course not. Having any belief in atheism is self defeating and useless.
@EddieJamro84189@AnnMalleyBooks@MgrSebastianus The concept of purgatory predates the word and is clearly found in Scripture.
You would have to show the chapter and verse that says it’s demonic.
@EddieJamro84189 This behavior is indicative of protesting God’s Holy Word by means of personal authority.
Instead of a biblical worldview, the result is a personal collection of isolated sentences which one uses to justify existing behavior and bias.
@PromptheusX@nonfrens@AgainstAtheismX Pretty much everyone in your life knows you’re just digging heels in and lying to yourself about that except you. Give it time.
@LightChery28295@LowStudies Haha he wasn’t all that bad. His assessments were poignant and with diligence they will strengthen and glorify the Catholic Church in the end.
