Why are so many protestants anti-Catholic and/or anti-Orthodox

So why not obey Him when He said that the Church should be one and to be vary of anyone teaching differently than what was once and for all delivered to the Saints?

Just as He says,
exactly as it was in the NT,
exactly as it is written in the OT and the NT, (no controversy, no contradiction),
The ekklesia immersed in Jesus Name , born again, called and chosen and set apart by God for Himself,
do obey Him,
and are one with Him,
and are one in union with Jesus,
and are one in union with all other ekklesia,
all over the world no matter where they are.
Everyone is invited.(Well, whoever God invites).
Few are chosen (shrugs, that's what Jesus says anyway).

Well, most Protestants have apparently already committed the unforgivable sin, so I'm pretty sure it's too late for us anyway right?

Of course! Why didn't we think of that before? All we need to do is join my church which, of course, has the fullness of what was once and for all delivered to the Saints. Our door is wide open for you and all the others.

Well, you have just accused me (and hundreds of thousands of other Christians) of the one unforgivable sin. I guess we're all going to hell.

In that case there is nothing more to say.

You are more than happy to suggest we are being misled by demons, but heaven forbid we suggest that you might be calling the actions of God, demonic. Can you give any reason why this is not hypocrisy on your part?

The whole reason that Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is unforgivable is hardly anyone who commits it would recognize they were wrong and repent

That's not at all what I see Jesus nor God's Written Word the Bible says.
Otherwise,
out of all who did it , "hardly anyone" would distinguish between 2 subgroups - which does not exist in Scripture nor in life - in the one group of those who blaspheme, and one of those subgroups would be those who recognize their sin and repent. Thus, if that were possible, they wouldn't be among those who commit the unforgivable sin.



Also,
there are a multitude of people, perhaps many multitudes, who continually sin
and never recognize(or simply don't admit and repent) they were wrong because they hated the Light when He shows up - they loved the darkness instead (most people on earth TODAY), and God gives them over to believe their own delusion (either that they are saved, or that it doesn't matter that they're not saved).

If, or since? , she is telling the truth as she knows it,
and she lives as she speaks (her words and her life )
then
there is no guile, no hypocrisy, no deception in her.

Excuse me? When did I ever say such things?

Quote please.

If anyone EVER accuses another Christian of such a terrible sin (basically saying they are damned to hell for all eternity) they had better be sure they are right in their judgement.

Maybe the person who dares make such a judgement should ask themselves who they are that they are able to know that another Christian is beyond forgiveness and will be spending eternity in hell, separated forever from God.

I would NEVER dare suggest such a thing. I'm not even going to say that about Hitler. (I do not know another person's heart or if they've truly repented)

And also, I NEVER said what I was accused of saying.

I never saw that either,
I only saw your posts are honest, without guile, and no hypocrisy.
That was the point.
Sorry if it appeared otherwise.

Oh, and also...I'd be FAR more concerned about pronouncing eternal damnation on hundreds of Christians than with any perceived hypocrisy.

I hope you know how serious such a judgement is.

No, I wasn't accusing you of saying I said something I didn't. I was referring to the accusation that I told people here they were led by demons, I did no such thing.

No worries (for the ekklesia) - just more suffering..... persecution.... tribulation....

As Jesus said would happen,
just as others said he had a demon....
so it is said of his followers today.

This is exactly what the BIBLE says.
No hypocrisy there.
No deception in the BIBLE.

The Bible says the same about blaspheming the Holy Spirit.
Your point?

The point is however, that I never accused anyone here of being led by demons. I wouldn't do that because cannot know each person's heart and I will not pronounce judgement upon them.

You don't have a valid point here,
and
you didn't have a valid point before.
That's the point.

Yes, but the Bible never says we are to accuse other Christians of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

Furthermore, there is NO Biblical evidence that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is rejecting relic veneration, praying to Mary or the saints for intercession etc.

Yes, I see that - no worries.
Scripture is true and valid.
Things opposed to Scripture are not.
Keep on sticking /adhering to Scripture, relying on and trusting the Father by Jesus Grace,
and nothing can happen to you
unless the Father permits it. (that's very GOOD NEWS in JESUS)
