I have a question. My little sister wants to join a Church Choir, but the only one in my community is a Catholic choir. She's asking me if she should join or not, and I don't know what to tell her. What do I do?

That depends, honey, on whether she wants to go to or not. If she wants to go to Hell (and be sexually abused before she gets there) then why not, let hr join that choir.

Re: Why Roman Catholic Papists Are NOT Christians

I would never let any of my children sing for the papists. They're naught but a colony of medieval LARPers who believe their hocus pocus actually moves the Will of God because it's spewed in Latin and they wear goofy gowns while doing it. They're worse than Harry Potter fanatics who believe they can make feathers levitate if they say the right words and believe in it really, really hard.

Thank you for these words of wisdom. I will NOT let her join that choir, if its the last thing I do. And I am sorry for the gibberish I put on the other page, I was mad at ImpureSnow's foolishness and didn't look at the keyboard. I'm not the best typist when I don't look at the keyboard.

This is my beloved Son. (Matthew 17:5)

Jesus’ Transfiguration was one of the most magnificent displays of God’s glory the world has seen. The purpose of the Transfiguration was to give his apostles, and all of us, a deeper understanding of who he is. So let’s see what we can learn from it.

Clearly, this was a dramatic revelation for Peter, James, and John. They never forgot what happened that day. Decades after it happened, John wrote, “We saw his glory” (John 1:14). Peter said, “We had been eyewitnesses of his majesty . . . when that unique declaration came to him from the majestic glory” (2 Peter 1:16, 17). The Transfiguration showed them that the kingdom of God that Jesus had been preaching would be characterized by glory. But it also encouraged them and strengthened them for the ordeal of the cross that lay before them. For as they learned at Calvary, the glory of God comes not only through displays of magnificence, but also through self-giving love—a love that embraces even death.

The Holy Spirit wants us to learn both of these concepts of glory. He wants us to see that Jesus is glorified every time we worship him at Mass and in prayer, and he is glorified every time we go out of our way to help someone. He is glorified when we reverence him during Eucharistic adoration, and he is glorified every time we confess our sins or forgive someone who has hurt us.

Let these lessons about glory and self-giving love sink into your heart. As you dwell on the glory of Jesus’ Transfiguration, see that it is a glory that comes because of his cross. Then, tell him that you want to be changed into his glorious image. Ask him to take your every act of love and fill it with his presence. It really is possible for us to live “for the praise of his glory” (Ephesians 1:12).

“Jesus, open my eyes to the glory that you displayed before Peter, James, and John. Let that glory reign in my heart.”

Genesis 12:1-4
Psalm 33:4-5, 18-20, 22
2 Timothy 1:8-10

Hello John.

Welcome to the forum. Is copy-pasting the only thing you can do? Do you even understand what you posted? Anyway, this is a friendly forum and when you join you are expected to have some forum decorum. That would include you introducing yourself in the introduction forum where you can start your own thread and tell us a bit about yourself. It´s a polite thing to do.

Kind regards,

Roland

[John 13:35]

I'm not sure what you mean by "us" but anyway even the shallowest understanding of Jesus would appreciate the full horror of idols. The literature describing Jesus has no greater castigation than for idolators. No topic is more frequently covered throughout The Bible and even the most cursory glance would reveal this almost immediately. It seems to me that you have not understood this. Perhaps in your introduction you could address this point, it could be that I've misunderstood God's position.

Hello Mitza,

It boggles my mind that these self proclaimed followers of the Bible, like this one, can so easily dismiss that same Bible. This John should read Exodus 34:14, it´s in the second chapter. This makes me think: How much of the Bible did he read anyway?

Kind regards,
Roland

I see that Fulton J. Sheen was Bishop of Rochester, which is not far from our family home. Rochester is a bit of a dump, but it does have quite an attractive cathedral, with the rather squat spire so typical of the region.



Such a shame about the derelict dockyards in the background.


I was surprised, though, to learn that (as recently as the 1960s) an Anglican cathedral had a bishop who was both an American and a Roman Catholic. This only goes to confirm that the Church of England remains, at heart, a papist tool.

Thank you, dear sinner, for visiting our Forum. You've stated your opinion but it would be swell if you could also justify your opinion with some actual referenced content.

Meanwhile, I am very eager to discuss some facets of the Catholic fate and your Muslim Pope with you. Please, I've tried to ask many other members of your cult about these issues but they avoid them. So, please explain the following strange and fearsome aspects of your doctrine to me and my Brethren:

• Atheists can be Saved by your doctrine (you don't have to believe anything and you still get to go into Heaven; Jesus disagrees in John 3:18).
  
• Muslims can be Saved (you can deny the Trinity and the Divine Nature of Christ and still go into Heaven; Jesus disagrees in John 3:15-18).
• The only Truth™ is evolution (you can disregard the Fall [Genesis 3:6] and the need for reconciliation, i.e., Jesus; Jesus disagrees in John 3:16-18).

Matthew 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Yours in Christ,

Elmer

The establishment in Rome has done nothing less than preserve the very idolatrous paganism Jesus came to deliver us from.

What is there to be proud of in that? If I am mistaken perhaps you could point out where I've gone wrong. It is not my intention to attribute the monumental blasphemy of idolatry most especially involving idols of Jesus where is is unwarranted.

I don't believe you. I think rather, you find it emotionally upsetting and hope to find something, anything, to take the focus off your guilt and embarrassment for being affiliated with such a humiliating organization.
