@adelethelaptop People neglect God just as they neglect their friends. Friendships require love, loyalty, patience, work and attention.
The parable of the sower explains the ways we can lose our way even after receiving the Word.
@homen2@adelethelaptop I did today at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
This morning, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, condescended to come and dwell within me and gave Himself to me.
@adelethelaptop@homen2 There are children who reject their parents & refuse any correction or to even see them. Sometimes they die in that state having never been reconciled.
We will be judged on our actions per Romans 2:1-14
@NateBornAgain Protestantism isn’t a religion.
It’s a protest against the Catholic Church, which is the Body of Christ.
Sadly, people have been protesting against God since the beginning of time. You’re just one in a long list
@homen2@adelethelaptop No one would without repentance. You can’t spit in God’s face and expect to remain in His friendship.
It’s like you have no respect for Him or healthy fear.
@adelethelaptop Also what happens if you believe but commit a heinous crime or are cheating on your spouse? What if you died while it happened and didn’t repent. Would you still go to heaven?
@adelethelaptop How does ‘once saved always saved’ work? I know you need ‘faith alone’ but how much faith? How do you know you have enough? Do you just say some words of faith?
What happens if you have doubts? What if your faith is shaken or you stop believing?
@getKennethed22@CathPrep1@nypost I know 2 families that have daughters with DS. They are happy well-adjusted children and very loved by their parents and siblings. They go to regular school and have friends. In fact, the other children want to help them and sit with them at lunch. It’s not the 1950s anymore!
@EddieJamro84189 Protestants actually talk about Mary far more than any Catholics I know. Of course it’s always in a derogatory way to insult Catholics, but you’re truly obsessed with this topic.
Btw, you haven’t the faintest idea of what worship is.
@homen2@rickbrennanjr I’m not adding anything. You’re taking away from the mystery of salvation. Protestants have notoriously stripped away so much of Christianity as it was taught to the disciples by Jesus.
You made it all about you and your faith alone. It’s so sad.
@homen2@rickbrennanjr You’re baptized because ‘YOU wanted … not because Christ commanded???
Way to make it all about you!
And there’s no ‘double-dose’ of the Holy Spirit. He’s a Person, not ice cream.
The pastor who taught you this garbage should be jailed.
@homen2@BarefootCowboy_@sola_chad You just quoted scripture that says ‘continue to work out your salvation’ & tell me I’m wrong for saying the same thing? Who’s not listening?
And your wording about ‘keeping’ the sacraments & having to pray the rosary to stay saved really makes me doubt you were ever Catholic.
@homen2@BarefootCowboy_@sola_chad I thought you were already saved?
Why do you need to ‘continue’ to work out your salvation? That sounds like (gasp!) a process!
Your ability to effortlessly contradict yourself is truly impressive!
Did your pastor teach you that?
@homen2@BarefootCowboy_@sola_chad If you’re already saved, as you believe, the journey is ended for you. Just sit back & relax! You’ve already received your reward.
