@izzythepush,

If I were to live like Christ, I would want to use a whip on those mega churches in the American South, in a Cleansing of the Temple style act of rebellion. Maybe flip some tables.

@Rebelofnj,

That reminds me of some daft argument I had with BillRM about how he wouldn't have let Jesus whip him or something like that. I was a lot of fun.

Seriously, there is so much wrong with all organised religion. It's not limited to Christianity, it's across the board.

And you wonder why I call you a "snob".

@Rebelofnj,

But you're not a Christian. You're a CATHOLIC.

Catholics still read the Bible. From my experience, it is usually the King James version of the Bible.

I, and many others, see Catholics as Christians. I even acted as Joseph in a church Christmas play of the Nativity Story.

And despite you believing that I belong to a cult, I still try to help you. I also haven't questioned other people's beliefs and faiths as that is a personal matter.

No, I put it down to your limited vocabulary and innate xenophobia.

Catholics are Christian, they're more Christian than you're weird little cult.

I'm like a Black William Buckley.

After looking him up, I'm confused by the comparison.
He was a conservative commentator and founder of the National Review. He was a notable figure in the rise of the Religious Right in America. He was raised Catholic and had argued that the Christian faith was being displaced by multiculturalism.

@izzythepush,

Roman Catholicism is a CULT.

Catholics ask Mary to pray to Jesus for them. The Christian Bible does not say to do that. The Christian Bible says Jesus is our Intercessor-

Romans 8:34- "It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us."

Mary is NOT the "Mother above all mothers". Catholics are idolizing her.

Catholics believe in "Purgatory". The Christian Bible makes no mention of that. Catholics can't even give a definitive explanation of what "Purgatory" is.

Catholics have their own version of the Bible in which they have added and taken stuff out of it. The Christian Bible says explicitly not to add anything to or take anything away from God's Word:

Deuteronomy 4:2-
You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

Deuteronomy 12:32-
“Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to nor take away from it."

Revelation 22:18-
I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book;

Catholics ask a Catholic priest to pardon their sins. Christians aren't supposed to ask any MAN to pardon their sins. Christians are supposed to pray and ask the Lord to pardon their sins.

Buckley had a penchant for spewing highfalutinisms when he spoke. You know- intellectual, uncommon, esoteric, sometimes 10-15 letter words that most people don't use.

I have a tendency to use such words when I talk or type or write, but sometimes I choose not to.

I used to use highfalutin words a lot when I spoke to my mother- it got on her nerves. I still do around her occasionally.

She didn't like Buckley. She said what's the point of having an extensive vocabulary or vernacular if most people can't understand what you are talking about.

I am not the only Christian who says Catholics belong to a cult. There are a number of Christians who have written books about the truth of Roman Catholicism, and the Swaggarts have a DVD series out about this. I believe I told you this already.

I am still looking for that little softcover book I got in the mail called "The Truth About Roman Catholicism" that a Christian author wrote, which I have told you about months ago.

I think Chick Publications published it but I am not sure.

While I would like to talk about this more, but

1. This is going way off topic.

2. We had the same debates before. You used the same arguments, word for word, and you refused to take what I told you into consideration.

I just found it odd you compared yourself to a well known Catholic who fought against anti-Catholic sentiment in the US.

I don't trust Jimmy Swaggart after he cheated on his wife with a prostitute, twice.

@Rebelofnj,

You're bringing up something that happened 2-3 decades ago. I am sure Mr. Swaggart asked the Lord for forgiveness and repented from that and moved on.

A number of televangelists and other preachers have been caught up in scandals over the years, but who among us hasn't sinned?

Jesus was the only being who never sinned.

The Bible says to choose your battles. I am not here to argue with people.

You're kinda are doing that. You typed multiple comments, quoting the Bible and a random book you lost years ago, just now decrying Catholicism towards me, all because I made a reference to the Cleansing of the Temple. I was not even the one who first brought up religion to the thread.

The Swaggarts, now there is a blast from the past.

Here is a short video clip for you. It is about a guy that has a DVD out titled "Jimmy Swaggart made me a Catholic". Very Happy

Okay. Did you ever watch the '90s sitcom Frasier? Niles and Frasier Crane were a pair of psychiatrists- they used highfalutin words like Buckley. They were very pretentious and snooty. Frasier had his own radio show.

William Buckley's son, William Buckley Jr., doesn't act and talk like him.

My family and I watch the Swaggart family on Sonlife TV. Jimmy, his son Donnie, and Donnie's son Gabriel are all preachers.

Jimmy's wife Francis has a show called "Francis and Friends".
