Set aside the differences: What Catholics and Baptists can agree on

[avemaria]

Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior! <3

Abortion is wrong no matter the reason; there is no justification of the killing of an innocent life.

The World needs Jesus; seriously it just does.

Masturbation, porn, and fornication go against God's gift of marriage.

We need more peace and love in this world! We NEED Jesus!

We NEED Jesus to come back with a sword in His mouth to kill 1/3 of humanity (for starters) because there's not enough peace and love in the world!!!11!1

Oh, and gingers have no souls.

Then why do you keep praying to Mary? It's even your username!

I agree. Even in the case of an ectopic pregnancy, where the baby implants outside the uterus, and allowing the pregnancy to continue will kill both the baby and the mother, it is just wrong to kill the baby.

After all, it's God's will that the ectopic pregnancy occur, and that the mother die slowly and painfully, and that the baby die before it has a nervous system so doesn't really feel anything.

The World needs Jesus; seriously it just does.

One would think you'd want to follow His Commands.

1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Note that it does not say, "one mediator and one mediatrix, she being the dead woman whose uterus God used to carry Jesus to term".

Masturbation, porn, and fornication go against God's gift of marriage.

As does sodomarriage. As directed in the Bible, fornicators and adulterers (like Newt Gingrich) and sodomites should all be executed.

We need more peace and love in this world! We NEED Jesus!

And we will get it just as soon as we eliminate those who hate Jesus!

Wait wait wait. Ectopic pregnancy sounds horrible! Why would God want that to happen?!
And I pray to Mary yes I DON"T WORSHIP HER I HONOR HER! And maybe its because I thank her for being the only suitable person to give birth to that guy oh gosh whats his name? Oh yeah, JESUS! You need to be thankful for Mary accepting Jesus into her womb. Cause without Him you wouldn't be saved. So yeah that's why I pray to her and that's why its in my username. Plain and simple.

Are you saying ectopic pregnancy happens against God's will?

God makes parasitic wasps that lay their eggs in the paralysed but still living bodies of caterpillars, grubs, insects and spiders. Their larvae slowly eat the host alive, starting with their non-vital organs and saving the nervous system until last. Let's hope they don't feel pain. So an ectopic pregnancy is nothing.

Who can presume to know the ways of God?

He clearly does want that to happen, because if He didn't, He would simply snap His divine fingers and gently move the little tiny human who is only a few cells into development. Surely for a God who can split a raging river wide enough for thousands of escaping slaves to cross, and compel a donkey to speak, moving a fertilized egg down a tube a few inches would be no trouble. But He doesn't, so it is His Will!

Praise the LORD!

So if Mary had said "No" to the angel then God would have no choice but to give up on the whole endeavour? She had the ONLY UTERUS in the entire Middle East??

Hush Atheists, things like this are beyond your understanding.

Mary was the uterus God chose to use as His baby oven. That was her entire reason to exist - to spit out the Baby Jesus.

Wait wait wait. Ectopic pregnancy sounds horrible! Why would God want that to happen?!

Because the mother is a sinning slut and probably married to a union member.

Re: Set aside the differences: What Catholics and Baptists can agree on

All I can say is this 'avemaria' character is typical of catlicks. Rude and inconsiderate. Only thinking of themsleves and not actual Christians. All about the Don needs, the pope.
I'd like to know where in the Bible it says to be rude to a True Christian(tm).

How should I know?

But I'm glad you, like us, hold fast to the unchanging standard that says no abortions, ever.

After all, your unHoly Mother Church occasionally gets something right. For example, it terminates its sponsorship of hospitals that perform abortions to save the life of the mother.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2010-12-21-phoenix-catholic-hospital_N.htm

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix stripped a major hospital of its affiliation with the church Tuesday because of a surgery that ended a woman's pregnancy to save her life.

Bishop Thomas Olmsted called the 2009 procedure an abortion and said St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center — recognized internationally for its neurology and neurosurgery practices — violated ethical and religious directives of the national Conference of Catholic Bishops.

"In the decision to abort, the equal dignity of mother and her baby were not both upheld," Olmsted said at a news conference announcing the decision. "The mother had a disease that needed to be treated. But instead of treating the disease, St. Joseph's medical staff and ethics committee decided that the healthy, 11-week-old baby should be directly killed."

Now, hear the pathetic justifications the hospital president came up with for murdering an innocent, pre-born baby:

In a statement, St. Joseph's President Linda Hunt said the hospital will comply with Olmsted's decision, but she defended its actions.

"If we are presented with a situation in which a pregnancy threatens a woman's life, our first priority is to save both patients. If that is not possible, we will always save the life we can save, and that is what we did in this case," Hunt said. "Morally, ethically, and legally, we simply cannot stand by and let someone die whose life we might be able to save."

The woman is in her 20s had a history of abnormally high blood pressure when she learned of her pregnancy. After she was admitted to the hospital with worsening symptoms, doctors determined her risk of death was nearly 100%.

The hospital's ethics team concluded the pregnancy could be ended under the church's ethical directives because "the goal was not to end the pregnancy but save the mother's life," the hospital said.

And I pray to Mary yes I DON"T WORSHIP HER I HONOR HER!

Getting on your knees before a statue of her and lighting candles to her is worship.

And maybe its because I thank her for being the only suitable person to give birth to that guy oh gosh whats his name? Oh yeah, JESUS!

What makes you think she was the only person suitable? God could have made any woman suitable, or picked anyone.

You need to be thankful for Mary accepting Jesus into her womb. Cause without Him you wouldn't be saved.

I'm sorry . . . "accepting"? Please show me where the Bible suggests she was given a choice in the matter.

So yeah that's why I pray to her and that's why its in my username. Plain and simple.

But she is dead. And there is "one mediator", as I have shown you, yet you pray to her as mediatrix. That is a direct violation of Biblical command . . . not to mention ineffectual, as she is DEAD and unknowing (Ecclesiastes 9:5) until Judgment!

Re: Set aside the differences: What Catholics and Baptists can agree on

Worship is given to a God. I know for a fact that Mary is not God. I honor her.

I am not being rude sir I am trying to defend what I believe. Plus Jesus said The Church. Not the true church. And if the rule on here is correct spelling please by all means spell it " Catholic". I've been spelling Baptist right.

As for abortion my view will never change we may not know what happens to those poor little ones but we need to fight to end this slaughter.

Right! So you agree that women with ectopic pregnancies should be allowed to die, along with their babies, instead of murdering the baby to save the woman.

Re: Set aside the differences: What Catholics and Baptists can agree on

And I pray to Mary yes...

OK, so then... you worship Mary, right?

I DON"T WORSHIP HER I HONOR HER!

Erm... OK, I'm sorry, I was confused. I thought you said you worshiped Mary, but I guess I must have misunderstood. It turns out you don't worship Mary, correct?

So yeah that's why I pray to her...

Oh dear, this is really confusing. I'm trying to keep up with you here, but you're going to have to forgive me if I need a moment to catch my breath.

OK, so where we've left things is that you do, in fact, worship Mary. Now, you're sure about this? You're not going to change your mind again, like you kept doing above?

'Cause I'm just going to assume that last thing you said was your final word on the matter, and that you do worship Mary.

Re: Set aside the differences: What Catholics and Baptists can agree on

You talk to your mother correct? Well that's how I see Mary. " Honor your mother and father." Is the commandment. Well Mary bore my savior so I view her as my " adopted mother" if you will. Praying is talking to God right. Well as Catholics we talk to Mary as our mother. She is not a goddess she was a human without sin. In the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe Mary told Juan Diego " Tell the bishop to build a church FOR MY SON!" Oh yeah her son, Jesus Christ. Mary in heaven prays for us and she turns our heads towards Gos. So that we may have a closer relationship with God. She is like a mother teaching her five year old who Jesus is.
