I'm surprised at the manipulation of scripture seen in the quotes provided by isshinwhat... but I guess if you're determined to prove your view right, you could twist many verses in the bible from their original meaning to support your argument.

No matter what you may argue, nothing will convince me that praying to Mary, having statues and relics scattered around, doing penance, confession, hail Mary's and "venerating" things has any value, when compared to having a real relationship with God.

Not only do I twist Scripture, but I don't have a personal relationship with God. :cry: I really wish I could have an actual conversation with some of these people who think Catholics are necessarily spiritually dead. It hurts me to no end. Lord Jesus, give me strength and understanding. God give me a patient and compassionate heart.

God Bless,

Neal

Is there anywhere that's safe from the trolling hordes of misguided Catholic bashers?
Apologetics is where I hang out now. Give me a friendly Atheist any day of the week.
Where's those frozen hash browns?
And why does my head hurt? Oh yeah, I was banging it against the computer. ;)

It's kinda funny to think that Apologetics is safer then Christian-only areas.  ;)  And to think I usually stay out of GA because it scares me.

I had to leave today for several hours on a business trip. Came back about 10 PM and read through the "going to hell" thread.

Jesus, Joseph, and Mary. :eek:

"Who let the dogs out???

WHO

WHO

WHO....!!!!"

Let's hope when that one opens back up (if it opens back up---personally, I'd advise against it) things remain a shade more civil. On both sides. :)

I was really annoyed because I wrote a very nice post for the "preacher who got beaten..." thread, which was discarded because the thread was closed while I was writing it.

That was a depressing thread. "Hi, I want you all to commiserate with me at how unsympathetic people are when my husband usurps God's authority to tell people who does and doesn't go to Hell, during a funeral."
