So? I'm not sure I see the relevance of that in the context of this discussion. You're going to have to connect the dots for me.

I would also argue you can't be pro-death penalty either.
The death penalty is biblical, and according to God, it is justice (Gen. 9:6).

The death penalty existed before the Mosaic law, was confirmed in the Mosaic law, and upheld in the New Testament, such as when Paul said that the civil magistrate bears the sword as God’s servant for justice (Rom. 13).

Well said sir. Jesus is God made flesh. Then they crucified Him. But before He was crucified He gathered His Apostles (including Judas Iscariot) in the Upper Room and broke bread with them. He consecrated the bread (unleavened) and through a miraculous process called transubstaniation it became His Body (Hey, He's God He can take on any form He wants). So while my Protestant and Jewish brothers wait for God to return, we Catholics find solace in the truth that He never left us. Hey, if they never accepted Him in His human form, regrettably some will not accept Him as Living Bread.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is a perpetual re-presentation of Our Lord's Death and Resurrection. Right now somewhere in the world the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is being celebrated. A perpetual celebration of Life. Just like that first Mass Jesus celebrated in the Upper Room.

And get this - all this is supported by Holy Scripture. Start by reading John 6.

The most consoling realization for me? Jesus said He would be with His Church till the end of time. So wretched sinner that I am, today I will gather with my fellow Catholics and participate in the miracle of God made present to me in Living Bread - in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. In the Holy Mass we have it all - The Liturgy of the Word (God's Word Is proclaimed) and the Liturgy of the Eucharist (Holy Communion). We hear His Word and eat His Flesh - just like He told us to do.

Truth, what is that? - Pontius Pilate

I don’t care about the rest of your post. The statement you made is a flat out lie.

That's what I thought.

There is no relevance.

No, it’s a fat anyone with a brain can verify. Im not sure under which rock you've been living.

The church for over a millennia has abused children, and then covered for the abusing members of the clergy and moved pedophile priests to new parishes and they still do this today. It’s not a secret.

It’s not in the catechism, but as they say - actions speak louder than words.

Just look at Charlie’s law (Act 409) recently passed in Louisiana and signed by Jeff Landry. It’s intended to prevent sexual abuse of small children and increase penalties for allowing and fostering abuse. It passed unanimously in the Louisiana house and senate. Guess who is up in arms against this law… all the Catholic Churches and schools are against this law, and I don’t wonder why… I know why.

So it is you that is the liar.

Hell is complete separation from God, your creator. I know it’s real because I experience separation and shame when I sin. Fortunately, He made a way for that to be atoned for if we just accept it.

Then you should be able to cite some sort of infallible, doctrinal statement that supports your claim. You can’t, because none exists. All you’ve cited is “Reeeeeeeeee!!!!!! Abuse scandal!!!!” Sorry, but that is not an actual principle. That is a violation of principles.

Just STFU and come back when you actually know what you’re talking about.

Nothing is truly evil, if God doesn't exist. Without an objective standard for morality, "good" and "evil" (morality) is nothing more than opinion. What one person thinks is evil is meaningless.

quote:

Telling people that hell and going to hell can actually happen.
If I tell someone a bridge is out and that they should turn around or else they will plummet to their death, why is it evil, even if I'm wrong about it?

Seriously: If I have an honest and sincere belief that something bad is going to happen to you, how am I evil for warning you about it?

On the other hand, if I am right about the danger, heeding the warning could very well save your soul.

I can understand the annoyance you might feel at the warning if you really don't believe it, but to call it evil? That seems a bit much.

quote:

No proof never has been and never will
There's plenty of evidence of the truthfulness of the warning. The Christian religion is not lacking in evidence, and the truthfulness of the claims support the claims about Hell.

I and billions of others have been convinced by the evidence of the Christian message, including the warning of Hell for those who reject God and His Son, Jesus Christ due to their sins. Just because you are not convinced doesn't mean that there's no proof or evidence. What you're actually talking about is persuasion. There are some who will not believe the truth no matter what proof is provided. I'm curious what evidence you would actually accept.

Hey straw man retard, in your first reply to me, I told you to re-read my post for a reason.
