I have tried making daily mass with this intention. I say the hail mary whenever I feel like I need help. I also ask God to please come as soon as possible to end this and let judgement day come. (just after I am a catholic, and my child, and hopefully my husband
yeah, I am selfish.)
Are you thinking of 2 Peter 3:8 where it says:
But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.
Ps- enjoy your break…
JustAsking4The100thTime, do you also remember the joke he was refering to?
Joke Time
JustAsking4 asked God, "God, I was wondering…how long is a million years to you?”
God answered, “JA4, a million years to me is like a second to you.”
So Ja4 asks, “God how much is a million dollars to you?”
And God answered, “JA4, why a million dollars to me is like one penny to you.”
So JA4 asks, “God, can you give me one of your pennies?”
And God answers, “Sure, JustAsking4, just wait a second!.”
Now if you would have just asked Mary, who was sinless, she could have interceded for you!(The OP rules! )
Hi rinnie,
I don’t know Peter J but I needed a time out. You can only be so patient, and repeat yourself so much. I mean give us a break. I understand don’t get me wrong that they are never going to become our faith. And thats fine, its not up to us. But what kills me is they ask show me, show me. and then we do. Hundreds of times, And not just one of us, many. And give the same answer.
This must be one of the posters that uses this surname knows what she-he is talking about.

Jesus Himself says essentially the samething in John 11:25-26 where He utters pershaps the most important words ever uttered when He says:
25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,
26 and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?"
I believe that absolutely, ja4 :) Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, and no one may enter heaven except through Him! Amen!
I'm not sure where we disagree on this, can you elaborate?If you did believe it, you would not keep posting accusations that Catholics pray to the “dead”. I agree, if you knew what you were reading in your Bible it would be clear that those who die in Christ live, even though they pass through physical death and depart from this world, they are alive unto HIm, All are alive unto Him. They can hear whatever God allows them to hear, just like Samuel was allowed by God to respond to Saul 'disturbing my rest" and how Moses and Elijah were able to have a conversation with Jesus about his upcoming crucifixion. Allt things are possible with God.This must be one of the posters that uses this surname knows what she-he is talking about.

guan is one person, Unlike you people using JustAsking4the100thTime. Guan doesn’t change what he says or how he says it. We watch!

JA4 you were so close to the most important words ever uttered by Jesus.But you always are aren’t you?
Jesus explained in John 6. which reads as follows in the KJV:
**(Oh, since they say basically the same here, I didn’t want to force you to have to touch a real Bible! I know it burns!
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live forever.
59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
John11:26 and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die
That verse actually helps prove that the Saints and Blessed Mother are alive doesn’t it? SoCan Mary being sinless can Intercede for us! Notice how your friends pull you back to the OP?!
If a catholic were to go to the gravesite of cardinal Neuman would and they dug up his grave (unless the church put his dead body on display somewhere) would it be correct to say cardinal Neuman had died and is dead because we can see his dead body?
It just at this point you start going down “speculation road”. Just because something sounds reasonable does not mean its true. In fact the examples you give here are not about anyone praying to Samuel who was brought up by illegal means or the Lord Jesus praying to Moses and Elijah. This is why you need to study the context first before you make a claim. Otherwise you and your gang just embarass yourselves and that’s not good…
It is the Scriptures alone that is the inspired-inerrant Word of God. They tell us what God is like and how we are to live. It is in them that witness to the power of God.
Where do you get this from? Did Jesus mention this kind of thing at the last supper?
You’re right…just because something sounds reasonable doesn’t make it true! We should never let anyone distort truth because they have a “logical, reasonable” explanation for the points. But we don’t believe in the saints because it’s “reasonable” we believe in the saints because Christ promised us they are ALIVE!If a catholic were to go to the gravesite of cardinal Neuman would and they dug up his grave (unless the church put his dead body on display somewhere) would it be correct to say cardinal Neuman had died and is dead because we can see his dead body?
Secondly, is it not also true you don’t know the status or condition of his soul? Is it not also true that you do not know that if you pray to his soul that he can hear you since he never answers you back audibly?
If you answer yes to any of these questions be sure to give me some proof that can tested—
And you’re right…if we don’t know the “status” of his soul, then we don’t know “where” he is… But we HOPE that he would be with Christ in heaven! And I don’t know about you, but I like to trust in God’s great love and mercyCode:The physical body is just a shell. When we "die" we die to the physical, to the world, and we are BORN into eternal LIFE! So I think if you were to "dig up someone's grave" you would say they are in fact DEAD to us, but ALIVE to Christ! :)
It just at this point you start going down “speculation road”. Just because something sounds reasonable does not mean its true.

This is why you need to study the context first before you make a claim. Otherwise you and your gang just embarass yourselves and that’s not good…Code:As for the saints, we KNOW they are absolutely in heaven, because when a saint is cannonized, it's because they have PROVEN it in some way through miracles and intercessions :)
And we know that all who are alive in Christ are a part of the ONE body of Christ! There’s no distinction between His body on earth, purgatory, or in heaven…we are ALL a part of the communion of saints…Though we must taste death to this world, our spirits will be ALIVE with Him and in Him for all eternity! And We also know that our BODIES as well, are to be ressurected IN and THROUGH Christ in the last days!Scripture disagrees. Scripture says the Apostles’ preaching also constituted the inspired-inerrant Word of God. “And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers,” 1 Thes 2:13.
I agree. However the only words of the apostles we have today are found only in the NT and nowhere else.
Oh, I’m sorry was there something else. Did He hand them a Bible and Da Vinci forgot to paint that part?
Not true for those who follow Christ.
Just like the proof of Jesus assending can be tested?If a catholic were to go to the gravesite of cardinal Neuman would and they dug up his grave (unless the church put his dead body on display somewhere) would it be correct to say cardinal Neuman had died and is dead because we can see his dead body?
