It's comforting to know that you Protestants

…will be going to hell with the rest of us heathens.

I’ll call 3 Hail Martin Luthers on him.

Is it getting crowded in this handbasket, or is it just me?

Surprising in this day and age, but then nothing about the RC hierarchy ever is. Just another reason why i walked away from Catholism and never looked back.

See y’all in hell.

If you watched south park you would know the correct answer is ‘mormon’.

'mormon

They’re going to a deeper level of Hell.

And I just heard the other day on NPR a protestant say that Catholics and Mormans are not Christians.

As an aside, I think that NPR loves doing Mitt Romney stories because it gives them a chance to broadcast all the in-fighting and cannibalization that is taking place in the religious right.

As I’ve always said, it’s where all the cool people will be.

But how could that be? NPR is publicly funded, they are not partisan.

(now, how do I turn that pink?;-))

That’s not surprising - born agains are protestant, no, and they seem to have a nominal monopoly on Christianity. However, they still have to compete with every other religion on the planet to see whose actually not going to hell.

Well in the approximate words of Joseph Smith…“If we go to hell then we will turn the devil out of doors and make a heaven out of it.”
.

Didn’t Lucifer try that?

Jesus taught on that very topic:

“And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?”
Matt 12:26

So no I don’t think so…

I meant he was cast out of Heaven for trying to usurp God (allegedly).

The Pope needs to go back and read his Bible instead of focusing on church tradition. It is a shame when groups promote their church instead of seeking to reach people for the kingdom of God. Jesus heavily criticized those who made it hard to enter Heaven…what is so hard to understand about these verses?

“Whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

“God does not wish that any would perish but that all would come to repentance.”

“If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved”

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him would not perish but have eternal life.”

I could go on and on. The church is not the denomination you belong to, but the group of individuals who have put their trust in Jesus as Savior.

Isn’t there something in there about the Devil using Scripture for his own ends? :wink:

Ha! The Bible IS part of the Church’s tradition.

You say that like there’s a difference.

Ha! The Bible IS part of the Church’s tradition.

True. However, (for example) as a non-Catholic I sometimes listen to a Catholic radio call-in show, and I often get frustrated because they nearly always focus on things like how many times to kneel in the mass, how many candles should be lit, etc. Makes me want to jump out the car window. IMO they should use the broadcast to answer real questions about eternal life. There are millions who are suffering, lonely and hopeless, and instead we focus on man’s traditions. I don’t get it.

like how many times to kneel in the mass, how many candles should be lit

You mean Jesus didn’t mention these in the Bible?!

The Bible IS part of the Church’s tradition

a very small part, apparently

That and the fact that you couldn’t spell it? ;^)
