Evangelicals and RCC working together

[Cathode]

I have no problem with Christians working together.

Great, because this one has me stumped, maybe you could give this a fresh set of eyes.

If a Buddhist knocked on your door and was hungry, would you feed him?... Or would you shut the door because he doesn't believe like you do?... Where is your Christianity?... Brother Glen

Buddhists are easy, bowl of rice, some vegetable matter with hot sauce on it.

Baptist’s however will be expecting pulled pork, and fresh made BBQ sauce, and a bunch of sides.

The Buddhist that comes to my door looking for meat is out of luck... We're Vegetarian!... Brother Glen

Then most of us Baptists will be out of luck too.

 

[Cathode]

We're Vegetarian!...

I’m sorry to hear it bro. Hang in there.

F(n) seems kinda interesting... 0, 4, 1, 10, 2, 16, 3, 22, 4, 28... So it looks like the top one is going to give you whole numbers and the bottom looks like it's going to be just a linear expression that increases by intervals of 6.

Of cause it is, can’t believe I didn’t see it earlier. You’ve got a Nobel prize coming your way.

It's the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything".

It's the Collatz Problem. Good luck.

Oh! This uses modular arithmetic. This is more involved than I thought it was.

I have no problem with Christians working together.

The RCC doesn’t work with you as a non Catholic individual, rather they view themselves as the “one true church” and you , as a mistake… a protester to their system of “right/correct Christianity” who generally needs to be ignored. Until you accept the RCC as the one true church, you my friend are nothing. This has been displayed in so many ways that I’m surprised you do not see it. A few years ago now, the local RCC that I once attended started a Bible study… a Catholic Church doing Bible study, I thought I gotta see this. Well I attended the first few,,and the nun doing the study tried very hard to convince me to return to Catholicism she emphasized the RCC as a special club of people different from the rest, one that I was born into and must return to. That consistent arrogance and focus on me as a kinda reprobate to the one true church was very offensive.

Just now, that same local church is now backtracking to days actually to before Vatican 2 in order to convince people to join them vs local community (non Catholic) churches. They have again begun ringin the bell at 745 am each morning for a daily call to worship and they ring it again each morning at 820am for the sacrament of communion. Where did that go for 35 years, and where did the priest go that took his walk to neighbors homes to offer comfort at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee, or where did the community of church people go that delivered food and other stuffs to the needy… ya know, like emulating Jesus. No, you RCC, you turned your backs on us, you sodemized our children, you financed illegals breaking laws and entering our quiet hard working towns…. You’ve done a ton to in fact alienate your own… and now you want to work with us? When did you recognize us non-Catholics as Christians oh almighty RCC? Your hypocrisy is appalling!

BS always is… just distract, it’s effective.

Define Christian?

I can believe the written menu with all my heart and soul, but unless I finally eat what it’s offering, there is no point to it. Same with scripture.

The sign that people believe Jesus, is that they eat His flesh and drink His blood as he commanded.

The sign that they don’t believe Jesus, is they refuse to eat His flesh and drink His blood as told them to. It’s the full manifestation of unbelief in Jesus own words.

The word only saves if it’s believed and obeyed.

“ Why call me Lord, and do not the things I say “

Jesus Himself is Pure Life from The Eternal Light, in eating His flesh and drinking His blood we receive His Life.

This is the final hurdle of Faith required, this is the singularity of the Spiritual realm.

The Scripture and Christ’s own words is the invite to the Great Banquet, the drama is played out even today, with people making their theological excuses not to attend the Eucharistic Feast.
And when those refuse, His servants are sent out again, but this time not to the invited, but to the full number who will believe.

“ I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’”

This parable is playing out this very moment.

Oh then you also wash feet as a regular practice as well. When is the last time you washed the feet of the brethren?

OK, then what’s your alternative protein sources?

I don't agree with combining my church with another denomination. But I don't mind Christians (individual Christians) working together.

IMHO there is no difference of importance between Reformed Baptists and Roman Catholics. The former simply holds the theology of the latter, only reformed in certain areas. But I would work with a Christian if either denomination. I wouldn't combine as a church with either.

Define Christian?

A person who is regenerated, made alive in Christ.

Most Catholics are not regenerated. They jump thru the sacraments in order to be in correct standing with God.

Bacon.

I was going to say shell fish… maybe even crickets. Locusts if he wants to emulate John.

To be clear Jon, most RCs don’t consider themselves a denomination… they are the one true church and you are evaluated as a “Protestant” a protestor to the sanctity of the true church with Peter and his subsequent pope selections as supreme leaders, then cardinals, bishops, arch bishops, priests and nuns etc… a hierarchy if you will.
