I’m not disagreeing with you that ralphy has been a big ol ball of confusion. I’m sure if he looked back at all the things he’s said, he’d probably confuse himself. I just said I think it’s awesome that we can go back and forth with him, and we can all say the same thing 1000 different ways. It just shows the absolute strength of the Catholic Church. Over the course of this thread, no less than 10 different people, myself included, have tried to reason with ralphy on one topic or another, and all of us have said things right in accord with Church teaching. You couldn’t get 10 different protestants to do that. Just another reason ralphy should stop arguing and start looking closer at what we have.

You used the phrase in your e mail: “in accord with Church teaching”, the only problem with that statement is that the Roman catholic “teaching” is not in accord with the Word of God Ralph

I’m not going to go over all the stuff that’s been handed to you again. I asked you a question that you didn’t answer, so I suppose now’s as good a time as any to ask again. How did those people before the “Word of God” get into Heaven?

you know what is very funny about this Remark. I have only been Catholic for a Day… That response is from my Baptist insruction, I just now after a long study, have finally understood Scripture the God said and not the way that ,Pardon my Language, Pompus As.shol.es say it has to be when they themselves do not know anything about were our Faith comes from and just like monkies like to Poop in their hands and fling it around, ralphy flings his protestant “poop” when he comes against someone who might know just a little bit about God’s word. Because I had to learn in order to make a choice to Follow God the way Jesus Himself set up and set on Course. and that Course has never been derailed in 2000 years.

I don’t think that too many people will forgive language like that, it’s the worse I have seen on this email circuit. Most people use this language when they do not find the intellegence to speak with respect. Ralph

We have asked you dozens of times to prove your personal assertions but you never do. There is a difference between holding firm in the faith and being stubborn against all reason Ralphy. The prior comes from enlightenment and proper teaching. The latter is just naked pigheadedness which is often a marker for arrogance and/or pride/hubris or defective reason.

You are not infallable Ralphy. If you are going to pretend to speak for God then you must prove that you have spiritual and rational insight. So far the consensus here is that you have neither — but we still pray that you may gain it. Nothing is impossible for God except a person who refuses to listen to Him and to listen to those who He sends to help the same.

Take a look at Abraham, it was by faith. Ralph

Please, Ralph. Don’t hide behind that. Everyone here has a bible interpretation. Yours are different than the rest of ours because we all hold true to Catholic teaching. As put a few posts ago, aren’t you shocked that there are so many Catholics from around the world that are giving you exactly the same biblical interpretations. That is because we have all been taght from the deposit of Faith that resides in the Catholic Church and was handed down by the apostles.

Where do your biblical interpretations come from? Are they based on your own views? If so, Why should we believe that you know more than the church? After all, that is what you are asking us to do - base our salvation on your interpretation. Do you have any special credentials or have you had signs from heaven that would demonstrate to us that we should follow you?

If not, and your interpretations are based on someone else’s view, what are their credentials.

You see, you can’t reasonably expect us to drop what we know without good reason. Can you give us one? If not, doesn’t that make you pause to consider whether it is sufficient to bet your own salvation on?

I’m glad you edited, I was going to ask you who this God Ralph was. Your statement that Roman Catholic teaching is not in accord with the Word of God is your opinion. Who are you that anyone should listen? 🤷

Sometimes people say things to save face, even when they are doubting their own words. Maybe you are right and Ralph is beyond saving. But if that’s the case, let it be on his own soul, not on ours for not trying to help… A few months ago, I saw a person who started off more vehemently anti-Catholic than Ralph. But within two weeks, she was actively talking about converting. You never know what is in another person’s heart. Nor should you doubt the strength of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes things happen to you that you simply don’t expect. Love conquers all.

Keep the Faith…

My Savior has special credentials, would you agree, and I am only repeating what He said, from the word of god. Ralph

That’s your opinion Ralphy. Ironically, you have been given AMPLE opportunity to back up your opinions, yet you have been unwilling or unable to do so in any meaningful way. Conversely, many here have shown time and time again that there are no conflicts between Church doctrine and scripture. Catholics here have given you reams of scripture to back up any number of given doctrines, to which you reply with a canned response of one or two sentences - mostly off topic. At this point, Ralphy, I’m beginning to think that you are intellectually lazy.

Yes, when Abraham received the knowledge that there is one God, the Creator of all that is seen and unseen, he said to himself, “Hey, that’s really cool!” and then rolled over and went back to sleep, secure that he was “once saved, always saved.” (Genesis 15:1-21, 17:1-22)

Oh, wait … :hmmm:

Thank you. And that is the one reason I do what I can on these boards. But please do not tell me that Ralphy is here looking for answers.

Ralphy;
No, Ralphy didn’t come here looking for answers, he came trying to misguide others into his way of thinking but for someone so concerned for his eternal life as he claims to be he should remember as he trys to do so;
Jesus said;
“…Keep watch over yourselves and over the whole flock of which the holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, in which you tend the church of God that he acquired with his own blood. I know that after my departure savage wolves will come among you, and they will not spare the flock. And from your own group, men will come forward perverting the truth to draw the disciples away after them."

Ralphy, In what you have chosen to do and are doing according to your own words in earlier posts, have you considered you have become one of those who abandoned the Bride of Christ to become one of the “perverters of truth”, as Jesus Himself referred?
consider it Ralphy,

Ralphy, no matter what Bible you pick up it was taken from the CC and Catholic teaching. The only differences are those unauthorized changes made by men and in their own opinions. And this opinion of yours is from a man who never knew he was to continue seeking knowledge of God, didn’t know his faith and blamed the CC because he didn’t seek to gain knowledge of it? You are far from credible and still do not realize you are the one accountable that you didn’t know.

So you’re saying he didn’t have to do anything? Didn’t he take his only son to the top of a mountain to sacrifice him? That’s not doing anything? Where are you getting this information?

Not at all, you are not repeating what he said. You are interpreting what he said, which is much different and your interpretation is different than the interpretation of the Apostles, who heard what he said first hand and had the opportunity to ask clarifying questions.
