the Big Difference between Chrisitan and Catholic Faiths is

[Daniel_Marsh]

I just got back from the public library. While there, I over heard someone say, “the biggest difference between the catholic faith and christianity is, Catholics worship the Pope and we worship Jesus.” I let out a groan which was my big mistake. Yes, he turned his “guns” on me. So, I pretended to be pro-femenist, pro-choice, new age modernist catholic. I had the poor guy tied up in knots when I was done. My big argument, “what if you are wrong.” “what if you are listening to the wrong spirit, instead of the Holy Spirit.”, and “that’s what you say.” I did not let him off the hook. I have seen him at the library before. And, aparently he has made a pain of himself on many occasion there because people were coming up to me to thank me for driving him nuts.

Next, time I see him I am thinking I should pretend to be a mormon. Any suggestions for doing this?

Have you ever felt like playing devils adovcate with people like this?

Try screaming out the following, in random order:

“Bush lied, people died!”

“Oh yeah, where are the WMD?”

“Allah Akbar!”

“Seperation of Church and State!”

“Gore won!”

Then as he starts walking away from you, start waiving a rosary over him as you begin “Hail Mary…”

Boy, this guy sounds very informed. Doesn’t he know that we worship statues? Helloooooo?

(For those that thought that was a serious response, I will have to clarify that I was being sarcastic. I wouldn’t want anyone to quote some Catholic guy at the forum as saying we worship statues.)

“Oh yeah, where are the WMD?”

There are, in fact, no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. This is because Chuck Norris lives in Oklahoma.

You could wear your Our Lady of Guadalupe warm-up jacket next time you go to the library with a rosary around your neck and sprinkle holy water everywhere while muttering under your breath.

At which of the area public libraries did this occur, may I ask? Perhaps I will look for him, too! Then again, maybe I know him…

Where can I get one of those? Sounds neat I would buy one!

Thanks a lot Daniel. An external Protestant pretend to be an internal Protestant. What will they think of next?

I wonder how that challenge (what if you’re wrong) could tie anybody up, though. It doesn’t really say anything.

Chuck Norris??? Who said Chuck Norris???

(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

• Chuck Norris’ tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
• Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn’t stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.
• When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
• If at first you don’t succeed, you’re obviously not Chuck Norris.

Random Facts About Chuck Norris

 

[BlackKnight]

Chuck Norris has counted to infinity. Twice.

There is no chin behind Chuck Norris’ beard. There is only another fist.

Chuck Norris once roundhouse kicked someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean.

Chuck Norris is 1/8th Cherokee. This has nothing to do with ancestry, the man actually ate a poor Indian.

There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Chuck Norris allows to live.

Chuck Norris once shot down a German fighter plane with his finger, by yelling, “Bang!”
Crazy stuff…

Chuck lives in my state and I just now heard of this??? I’d better go find him, cause I hear his tears cure cancer…too bad he never cries. By the way, when I get frustrated I usually yell out a firm “Allahu Akbar!!!” and most people get really quiet. hehehe

You think you did a great thing. Defending the Catholic faith, beginning your defense with a lie???

I think you have to join a gang to get the jacket, but you can get the OL Guadalupe t-shirt at any gift store in a Hispanic neighborhood. I have an 8" square reflective sticker of her on the back of my truck, which can be seen for a quarter of a mile in the dark on a country road if you have your brights on. I never have any trouble crossing the border with clothing, commodities etc. for our mission in Reynosa. We stop at the foot of the bridge, pray the Memorare and they wave us right on through.

How about be who you are instead of someone else? Next time someone tells you that Catholics worship the Pope, then tell them to give you some official documentation proving this ignorant statement. And since this guy can’t ,because it doesn’t exist nor has ever been part of Catholic Christianity, then politely tell him/her that Christianity’s inception was Catholic and christianity is made up of Catholicism (began in 33AD), Eastern Orthodoxy(broke off of Catholcism and began in 1054 AD), Protestantism (broke off of Catholcism and began on October 31,1517 with Martin Luther).
And ask him/her if the early Church was “Catholic” or Protestant in its believe? And know your bible so well that you can answer question about Catholic doctrines.
Could this person agree with the early Church beliefs i.e.:

Ignatius of Antioch
“I have no taste for corruptible food nor for the pleasures of this life. I desire the bread of God, which is the flesh of Jesus Christ, who was of the seed of David; and for drink I desire his blood, which is love incorruptible” (*Letter to the Romans *7:3 [A.D. 110]).

“Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God. . . . They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes” (*Letter to the Smyrnaeans *6:2–7:1 [A.D. 110]).

I see what you are trying to accomplish but isn’t claiming to be something you are not a lie? Why not just say you are Roman Catholic, it’s NOT a bad word and is the fullness of divinely revealed truth. Don’t be afraid of standing up for you Catholic faith, it’s the whole truth
