    Now i am curious because someone on Utube said that Esau was white? Now if Esau and Jacob were paternal twins how can one be white and the other dark. Did someone change the laws of Genetics for this two in particular. What is the point anyway. Do we not all bleed the same color blood, and not we all human beings? Red. Yellow, Black or White we all have the same DNA.

  • Mrpl778 says:

    What are you talking about? I will return to the Catholic Church when she returns to God. She must do away with all false doctrines. Reject the council of nicea. Tell the truth about the birth of our Lord.and return Mary to her place of reverence not co redeemer. Return Christaianiy to it Jewish roots. And humble herself to the rest of Gods Church. I never left her she lied to me on so many points i cannot list them all. Lastly she must appologize to Moselms for the Crusades.

  • Mrpl778 says:

    Yep the church likes to do that like the whole of papal sucession from Peter the Apostle to the Jerusalem church. Jesus clearly says that he will build his church on the Declaration that He is the Christ the Son of the Living God, Where do they get such an idea from that. And i would like to know which Apostles are you talking about? Where in the NT do you find this? But God is Just and he doesn’t desire to burn his children, they will be taught in the Millineum.

    @Mrpl778
    maybe that will happen when you start realizing that you are wrong and that the catholic church is the Pillar and foundation of truth before it produced the bible, when it was producing the bible and even after it has produced the bible

    @thinkerj
    alright, i’ve no problem with that :D

  • farsight001 says:

    The Catholic Church has always known and taught that Christ’s birth was not on December 25th. It is not, however, known what day on which he was born, so Dec 25th is as good as any.

    Easter is also not the name of any goddess. That’s a myth.

    In the future, try facts. They’ll help your case more.

  • thinkerj says:

    As you may know it is generally much more difficult to prove a negative, i.e. that some has not happened or that something is not the case. But the evidence I find sufficiently convincing that the Book of Revelation was never removed is that it was part of all editions of his translation of the New Testament, from 1522 and onward.

  • Mrpl778 says:

    I am wondering when the Catholic Church will own up to the fact that our Savior was not born on December the 25th, but truthfully he was born in September in Fullfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles. And when will they come to tell us that Easter is the Name of the Dawn Godess, and has nothing to do with Yeshua our Passover. Lastly Friday tell Sunday Morning does not Three days make. He was Crucified on a Wednesday and Rose at Sunset on the end of the Sabbath.

  • richinmercyisHE says:

    and by the way, are you Lutheran?

  • richinmercyisHE says:

    while i’m looking for some proof, could you please also show some evidence that says Luther did not remove it?

  • richinmercyisHE says:

    umm, i dont get your point when you stated that he was mindful of the ressurection, you see in our side, where on earth would a soul be if that soul still needed prayers or sacrifices? hence the church inferred purgatory, because the church had authority to say so and because the church fathers who learned directly form the apostles also taught it…

    please clarify, tnx

  • richinmercyisHE says:

    ok i’ll look for some :)

    thinkerj: No ones making you pray for the dead. Its a choice we make. To assume that salvations automatic for souls is preposterous & it undermines Gods gift to man – the gift of the light of reason free will. Were not VCRs & He isnt a remote control. He sacrificed Himself but we still have to choose that salvation. Jesus Christ would NOT take that choice form you, foregoing his own gift of free will to us. I choose to pray for my deceased brothers, believing in a merciful God.

  • thinkerj says:

    Why should we do that? Don’t you have a Savior to intercede for you? Is his sacrifice not sufficient to save you?

  • thinkerj says:

    Ok, so the mentioning of prayer for the dead must automatically indicate that they were in purgatory? I asked for a clear reference, and 2 Macc 12 does certainly not qualify. In fact, the text explicitly says that Judas prayed for the dead because he “was mindful of the resurrection”. So he prayed in the hope that the slain would rise again from the dead. No reference to a “cleansing fire” there.

  • thinkerj says:

    The burden is still on you to show that he threw out the Book of Revelation. I have searched for any mention of this, but have so far not found anything indicating that he took such radical action. It is well known that he held some NT books in lower regard than the others and therefore put them at the end of the Bible. But they were not thrown out.

  • ominoreg says:

    thinkerrj: Why else would the faithful be asked to pray for the souls deceased? Do you think you must pray for those in heaven? NO! We ask those in Heaven to pray for us!

  • richinmercyisHE says:

    @thinkerj

    yes he did, he even said “i have a personal aversion of it” his followers were the one who put it back

  • richinmercyisHE says:

    @thinkerj

    you’ve already got the part where the deuterocanonicals teach purgatory, what part of praying for the dead does not teach purgatory?
    i’d like to hear from you again, tnx

  • thinkerj says:

    “Obviousness of the existence of purgatory”? Ok, would you mind explicating where we find the purgatory clearly taught in the deuterocanonical books? Do you really think that 2 Macc 12:43-45 is an obvious reference to the Roman Catholic doctrine of purgatory?

  • thinkerj says:

    Wrong, Martin Luther did not throw out the Book of Revelation from the Bible, but he questioned the apostolicity of that work (together with a few other New Testament writings).

  • ominoreg says:

    I just listed the Catholic Apostle’s Creed – with biblical reference. YES, Catholics follow what the Lord GOd tells us. Stop indicting Catholics with generalized statements. Add substance to what you say, I challenge you. What part of the Catholic Dogma about Maryology is false? Is she not the mother of Jesus? Do you challenge her Virgin birth?

    6. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. (Luke 24:51, Colosians 3:1)
    7. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. (2 Timothy 4:1)
    8. I believe in the Holy Spirit, (John 14:26)
    9. the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, (1 Corinthians 11:26)

    2. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. (John 3:16)
    3. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. (Lke 1:34-35)
    4. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. (Mark 15:15)
    5. He descended into hell.On the third day he rose again. (Acts 2:31, Luke 24:1-7)

  • ominoreg says:

    Chad are you really going to dictate to me what I meant in my own statement? Pretty bold of you to do so. Secondly, you’re mistake sif you think Catholicism isn’t a personal relationship with God. You fool. I never once said anything about battle for the masses. You make too many assutions about those you seem to hate. Faith and salvation is a personal choice for everyone. Catholics aren’t robots – we’re not wired to a central remote control. Pick a fight somewhere else.
