Only the Holy Spirit can work on Lula. I'm just a messenger. I've been talking to Lula for years. She only wants the RCC's truth. She can't disengage her belief/faith in her church from what the Word of God says. When she sticks with just scripture we get along fine, but she goes time and time again to her RCC commentaries that are leading her away, not closer to the truth. I think the RCC has done a ton of damage thru the years and

[quote who="lulapilgrim" reply="284" id="3019855"]o Catholics the Lord's Day is sanctified by hearing Holy Mass and also by giving time to other devotions, resting, doing activities which help build friendship with others, and especially in the family circle.[/quote] and do you actually believe Catholics adhere to this?

[quote who="lulapilgrim" reply="274" id="3019472"]I guess it won't surprise you that I disagree with some of this and the reason is that the Third Commandment of the Old Law goes to Natural or Moral Law and that part of it can not be changed or abrogated for it's one of God's unchangeable commandments. I think we may disagree over what "keep holy" means. "Remember thou keep holy the Sabbath day" was partly moral, the natural law, obliging all men to de

Even Steve Jobs who died recently and believed wholeheartedly that there was no God did say in August, just before his death, that he was thinking more and more about God and was coming closer to belief. He wanted to believe that there was more to life than this. I challenge people all the time, don't wait that long. It most likely, will be too late. You may not even get that time at all.

it's NOT about Religion. It's about having a relationship with our Creator. There are many, many, many who are religious but lost. That was what Christ was saying all thru the gospels. Just take a good look at Matt 23 and see all the woes directed at the religious in His day. It's all about truth vs tradition. Lula what you are espousing is religious tradition. It's men vs God. I know you are very sincere

[quote who="lulapilgrim" reply="82" id="3009013"]A "prayer to" is a "petition to". When Catholics "pray to" the Blessed Mother or another Saint in Heaven, we are actually petitioning her or them to interecede to God on our behalf or to pray for us. It's not a "prayer to" them directly and that's it, but rather it is a "prayer to" God through them.[/quote] But Jesus taught us how to pray. Why are you not listening to Him? Not only that he showed us in John 17 which

I just read this while studying for my bible lesson this week. It was written by JC Ryle, a preacher in the 1800's. "Let us note that a half knowledge of Scripture, a suppression of some texts, and a misapplicaton of other texts will account for a large portion of mistakes in religion. In this way people get a heresy or a crotchet into their heads on some doctrinal point, and
