No problem, just could not resist.Yes, I know. I just like to nit-pick.
Sorry!
On a lighter note, my stepson has an 18 year old daughter. She hates me because I am a
Catholic not other reason. She attends a baptist church call 4 square.

I am in an authentic charismatic prayer group.
Trouble is sometimes some of the people who are drawn to these are fringe.
Obsessing about opportune messages coming through license plates they see or songs they’ve heard while driving indicating that the Holy Spirit is communicating with them through these trivial things. The Holy Spirit is powerful , he does not communicate through these trivial things or manifest things on pizza slices, burnt toast, sun shadows and water heater stains. My God is a powerful God!

That Catholics can not have a relationship with God. Only the Pope can hear from Him.

are you trying to teach me about Abraham or are you making the point
that God communicates to use through Beatle songs and burn toast images?
My comments were very carefully couched within the framework of some fringe people within the charismatic movement which relates to the subject of the OP of this thread.
Well what is it smart and holy one?

*I believe that to buy into this absurdity diminishes a person.
Any reasonable, intelligent and discerning human being cannot allow himself to be persuaded to believe in such crazy lies. I cannot be amused by such an absurd occupation!
We all know of and appreciate the many wonderful Protestants who have converted to the Catholic Church and agree they have brought much beauty of spirit with them. There have been many books written to discredit the Church by Protestants however. Does anyone know of a single book written by a Catholic who has written lies about Protestants?
God bless

Not that this is part of the subject of this thread, but you insinuated that because God is powerful, he would not stoop, for lack of a better word, to using subtle and seemingly innocuous means to communicate with us.
No, I don’t think God typically communicates with us through burnt toast, but he certainly can. There’s a water stain on my mailbox that looks like Jesus. I didn’t call the news or tell a priest when I found it. I certainly didn’t light any candles, or really bother telling anyone about it until now. It’s just a water stain. And yet it makes me smile whenever I see it. Maybe that’s just what God wanted for me. And that was my point - sometimes God is in the whisper instead of the booming voice, but maybe not in the way one might think.

PLEASE! Sir , you make argument for the sake of argument. PLEASE!
I suggest correcting people who need actually need correction instead of making hay and splitting hairs with people, belittling what others have to say with your impertinent sense of humor , and then having to engage in petty arguments over mundane things in the process of defending yourself. PLEASE! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE!
Good day Sir!

Looks like I’m a bit off target; My reply was about 80% somewhat on target and 20% over the top or thereabouts and for that portion I apologize.
However, all or most of us ex-pagan country bumpkins are not here for your lessons in worldly nuance to our short, to the point compact posts. My post(we’re not writing books here) was not begging for your one-liner “treatment” !
Thankyou Sir!

The Foursquare are Pentecostal Protestants. They’re most definitely not Baptists.

I believe you are mistaken in this assertion.
God can and does communicate directly to whomever He wishes.
We have many non-papal [is that a word?] historical examples of this.

1st Kings 19:11] And he said, “Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD.” And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake;
12] and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.
13] And when Eli’jah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And behold, there came a voice to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Eli’jah?”
14] He said, “I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the people of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thy altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”
15] And the LORD said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; and when you arrive, you shall anoint Haz’ael to be king over Syria;
16] and Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint to be king over Israel; and Eli’sha the son of Shaphat of A’bel-meho’lah you shall anoint to be prophet in your place.
17] And him who escapes from the sword of Haz’ael shall Jehu slay; and him who escapes from the sword of Jehu shall Eli’sha slay.
18] Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Ba’al, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”

*This fellow Woodrow should print an apology in very newspaper in every state or go on television and apologise!That is interesting, good to know that someone who could write that far off the deep end can come to his senses.
Of course this a feasible possibility as well.
People who write poisonous goods or make pernicious statements are committing a serious offense against Christianity.
