A question for Catholics about Love not the world

[Catholica]

If we want to find the answer we have not to the next verses John 2:16,17

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

All that the world is of and what we are to be separate from is in these 3 categories. In these is everything man desires. It also includes what we put our faith in such as the worlds religious political and monetary systems. In short it is Babylon. All that is of the world is Babylon and Babylon is dominated by the spirit of antichrist in the world. and when the church embraces these things it is also in Babylon which we are warned to come out of

Food for thought
 

Seems like you agree with what the Catholic Church has always proclaimed, exactly the answers that were given to you.

On the other hand, the move to become worldly has overtaken Protestant churches.  The Presbyterian Church  (PCUSA) recently changed to ordain gay ministers in a sexually active relationship. Apparently they had to keep up with the ELCA Lutherans and the Episcopalians. Other Protestant churches have resorted to extravagant giveaways to attract people to come to Easter services, like electronics dropped from a helicopter.  Its a fight for the almighty American dollar between Protestant and non-denominational churches in America, and the teachings of Jesus and the gospel are the inconvenient truth that they are abandoning.  Its going to only degrade more and more as indifference sets in.  But even that is not as bad as forsaking the assembly altogether, which is another thing it seems people who are deceived by the world do.

Oh it has very much come into Protest ism. but the one who sits a queen of this worldliness you turn a blinded eye. The apostate church of 17 is called the Mother of Harlots. Was it not her corruptions that gave birth to denominationalism. Still in the mist there is the bride and she will be taken out of all this.

I am a member of the Church which Jesus promised would send the Holy Spirit to lead into all truth, the Church which the gates of Hell would not prevail against it.  You are just a lone person on an internet forum with an opinion and a bone to pick.  Why would I trust you over 2000 years of continuous Church teaching?  Who stands up against immorality in the world today like the Catholic Church?  Who is God's greatest champion for life on Earth?  Which other Church, based upon its teachings, has had prophecy come true like that proclaimed in documents like Humanae Vitae?  Which Church gave us the Bible?

Seriously, it is you who are deceived, not I, and by a single issue which seems to be your whole beef with the Catholic Church, a single issue which you fallibly make and stand upon as if that was what God directly revealed to you.  I am very glad that I am not in that position.

Truth does not come by affiliation to the organization. Truth comes by knowing Christ and those who love Him have put his word in their heart striving everyday to achieve his righteousness. If you then continue in my word then you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Thy word have I hid in my heart that i may not sin against thee. It is what Christ has put in our hearts that has survived 2000 years and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.

It may seem like some personal bone but it is not. It is one that is shared even by the Lord himself. I stand against what God hates such as misrepresentation of his will for us. failure to teach and live up to the principles of his word before his church in understanding the world at large and though we live amongst we are of no faith in it. The church today and not just catholic is in grate danger of apostasy. The the great apostasy began when the bishops of Rome sought power and prominence to rule religiously and politically the empire and beyond, even the world.

And so goes the church today as we look more and more to the politics of this world to solve its moral problems instead of staying faithful to Christ and his second coming. yes we are to love our neighbor even as ourselves but only as lights that shine in the dark, not becoming evolved with the dark. Man cannot solves its his own moral problems by looking to men and the end is already written and the judgments of it.

Truth does not come by affiliation to the organization. Truth comes by knowing Christ and those who love Him have put his word in their heart striving everyday to achieve his righteousness.

My Church was there loving the Lord, and they teach that we need to turn our hearts toward him and strive every day to become holy.

If you then continue in my word then you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Thy word have I hid in my heart that i may not sin against thee. It is what Christ has put in our hearts that has survived 2000 years and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.

My Church has continued in His word and teaches the truth, and it sets people free, free to love God, free from their sins.  This Church and this teaching and this means has survived 2000 years and will survive forever until Jesus comes again.

It may seem like some personal bone but it is not. It is one that is shared even by the Lord himself. I stand against what God hates such as misrepresentation of his will for us.

Honestly, I believe that God hates that you are trying to drag down His Church, misrepresenting it as the wh*re of Babylon.  He went through great trouble to found a Church for you and even instituted seven sacraments to help you, with His grace, to get to heaven.  By fighting against it, you spit on the gift He gave to you.

failure to teach and live up to the principles of his word before his church in understanding the world at large and though we live amongst we are of no faith in it. The church today and not just catholic is in grate danger of apostasy. The the great apostasy began when the bishops of Rome sought power and prominence to rule religiously and politically the empire and beyond, even the world.

The great apostasy began in your heart long ago when you apostatized.  You have chosen to become an apostate, I choose not to follow you.

And so goes the church today as we look more and more to the politics of this world to solve its moral problems instead of staying faithful to Christ and his second coming.

Its not an either/or problem.  Its both/and.  The Church are the people of earth too, and we work through the governments that God ordained to maintain justice, as far as is just, according to God's law.  We also work to change our own hearts so that we can bring the kingdom now.

yes we are to love our neighbor even as ourselves but only as lights that shine in the dark, not becoming evolved with the dark.

Government is not the dark, governments and leaders are given to us by God.  How can you say that government is evil when God ordains it?

Man cannot solves its his own moral problems by looking to men and the end is already written and the judgments of it.

Agreed.  We already have the moral solution by looking to God, and the purpose of religion that is pure and undefiled is to help the widows and orphans AND to help people remain unstained by the world.  That is a good description of the Catholic religion.

I was talking about truth which you say only your church has the fullness but I say truth comes by knowing Christ and he who has Christ has his fullness and he who continues to be steadfast will see his reward. This is not a denominational thing.

If you then continue in my word then you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Thy word have I hid in my heart that i may not sin against thee. It is what Christ has put in our hearts that has survived 2000 years and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.

Mike
All that is taught of the lords Gospel is truth and sets men free. But it is not the teaching authority that sets us free but Christ and his word. Your idea of the church is centered in the authority that fails to recognize and teach the truth about  Babylon. And being separated from it This is because she is in bed with Babylon, the worlds systems religious , political and monetary. To deny this is to insult intelligence.  I have more to say about this. Amazing how religious pride keeps us blind and in bondage.

It may seem like some personal bone but it is not. It is one that is shared even by the Lord himself. I stand against what God hates such as misrepresentation of his will for us.

Cath
Honestly, I believe that God hates that you are trying to drag down His Church, misrepresenting it as the wh*re of Babylon.  He went through great trouble to found a Church for you and even instituted seven  sacraments , with His grace, to get to heaven.  By fighting against it, you spit on the gift He gave to you.

Mike
He founded a church that would keep his commandments to not be a part of this world. Nothing Jesus or the apostles ever taught  eluded to promoted  or suggested that the church leaders were to seek after or desire to be a religious political power. It was of no vision from Christ


LH posted a statement by Ignatious.   No earthly pleasures, no kingdoms of this world can benefit me in any way. I prefer death in Christ Jesus to power over the farthest limits of the earth. He who died in place of us is the one object of my quest. He who rose for our sakes is my one desire. Do not talk about Jesus Christ as long as you love this world. --St Ignatius of Antioch

The bishops of Rome should have  listened to him

 Jesus did not give us  a church, he gave us Himself so that we could be his church as we have no power in and of ourselves to please God. “I  am the vine and ye are the branches and with out me you can do nothing.

[Paulus]

No ?

On this rock I will build my Church ( Mtt 16:18 ) .

A Church which upholds the truth and keeps it safe ( 1 Tim 3:15 ) .

Jesus is the head of the Church which is his body ( Eph 1:23 ) . [ Could any but Jesus give us this reality , his body of which he is the head ?]

The statement I said is still correct Paulis. Think . If Jesus had not given himself for us you and i would not even be saved to be his church. Neither would their be any RCC

But as many who have received him, to them  gave he the power to to be the of God. even to them that believe upon his name John1:12

Now you're getting it. If Christ didn't die for us the Catholic Church wouldn't exist because Christ created it. If Chirst didn't create the Catholic Church then the Coptic Church wouldn't exist because there would've been nothing for it to separate from. If Christ didn't create Catholic Church exist then the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox wouldn't be the products of its spilt. If Christ didn't create the Catholic Church it would never have spilt and protestantism would've never been born from rebelling against the split Roman Catholic Church.


That is kind of the point IMO. The Catholic Church is not of the world. It is of Christ but it is in the world.

No you are not getting it. The RCC is a result of apostasy. It says it is of Christ but its ambitions are of the world.
You cannot be of Christ and of the world at the same time. Were you not the one who posted the statement by Ignatius.

Lets justi say like you are really trying to say it. The Roman catholic church ls not of the world but is in it.

Not true The RCC is a reinvention of His church. that is not separated from the world but is of it. It is in Babylon. This is why they won;t teach the truth about Babylon to it congregations

The fact that there is a christian church in Rome does not make that Church apostate. The beliefs of the Patrarchate of Rome was shared by every other patriarchate in the world. So where do you get off gauging its apostasy?

Just because the word "Rome" is in its title does not make it of Babylon. If the word "Rome" was bad in and of itself then I doubt Peter and Paul would ever had traveled to Rome. I doubt there would be a congregation there for the apostles to write to.

In all honesty you can't name any doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church that make it apostate that weren'universally accepted apart from papal universal jurisdcition, papal infallibility and the filioque. Period.

No you are not getting it. The RCC is a result of apostasy. It says it is of Christ but its ambitions are of the world.
You cannot be of Christ and of the world at the same time. Were you not the one who posted the statement by Ignatius.

Lets justi say like you are really trying to say it. The Roman catholic church ls not of the world but is in it.

Not true The RCC is a reinvention of His church. that is not separated from the world but is of it. It is in Babylon. This is why they won;t teach the truth about Babylon to it congregations

The fact that there is a christian church in Rome does not make that Church apostate. The beliefs of the Patrarchate of Rome was shared by every other patriarchate in the world. So where do you get off gauging its apostasy?

Just because the word "Rome" is in its title does not make it of Babylon. If the word "Rome" was bad in and of itself then I doubt Peter and Paul would ever had traveled to Rome. I doubt there would be a congregation there for the apostles to write to.

In all honesty you can't name any doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church that make it apostate that weren'universally accepted apart from papal universal jurisdcition, papal infallibility and the filioque. Period.

Of course if you just want to live in denial then there is little I could say that you would not make every excuse as to why it can not be true. .still that is no excuse that I should not say any thing whether you believe or not. Even though Romes code name is Babylon its meaning is far more reaching.  The three main aspects of Babylon is centered in three main categories. Religious, Political, and commercial economic. These three things dominate everything in the world. He who has authority over these three things has absolute power and authority. Every kingdom that has risen to dominate vast lands an peoples dominates these three systems. The church at Rome was just the church established there but it was about Christ and his salvation only. It was in Rome but not of Rome,

Rome was the dominating power of its vast empire thus practiced many pagan beliefs, which emperors also worshiped. It also dominated commercially  gaining vast wealth Christianity until Constantine was rejected and persecuted, but after the church gained recognition and freedom it became the dominate religion of the land having the power of Rome. and all it wealth . This was all the doing of the greedy bishops of Rome

It also gained Rome’s Political power. So now we have a church that claims to be of Christ but yet it now sleeps with  wealth and political power of Rome even the world And you dare say that it was not in bed with Babylon., being apostate of the lord and his  will for his church to be separate. Babylon is the world which is of the tree systems described .and the fony christian church that only wore Jesus as a Vail was a great whore.

You say more unsubstantiated stuff than anyone else on this forum. Anyone.

You obviously have your time line jacked up. Before the West even was called Roman Catholic the freedom to practice Christianity was already sanctioned in Rome. Constantine reigned almost 700 years before Roman Catholicism existed distinctively on its own. So like I was saying, the views of the Church in Rome were no different than the views from the Church in Jerusalem, in Antioch, in Damascus, etc. If the Church in Rome was apostate before 1054 AD for its doctrinal views then every other Church in Christendom was as well because they all shared the exact same beliefs.


And I already addressed your government evil battle cry with Ephesians. Government is only every antichrist when it suffers corrupt to be assimilated into it and we are meant to be soldiers against that wickedness not against government itself. You must be one of those Christianarchist.

News flash, Christ never said to tear down governments He said to be armored warriors in opposition to wickedness in high places. Take you eyes off the high places and start fighting the wickedness like you were told. The baby is sick but that doesn't mean you chop of the baby's head it means you cure the sickness.

And another fact of the matter is simply this. The Church in Rome lived in constant opposition to the Roman government. Constant. The Church in Rome separated from political power with Rome when it became the Vatican. It is now its own nation. Just like God's former kingdom on earth Israel.

And another thing! The Roman patriarchate is nothing in the grand scheme of Catholicism. Its really the presidency that gets all the big whoop. The See of Peter's primacy. So if one day separating from Roman government and being in the Vatican proves to be not enough the presidency can always pick up and move to somewhere else. It can become stationed in Greece just as easily as Peter HQ'd in Rome.


That's the point I am now confident you are simply ignoring. The Wh*re of Babylon is not a foreign christian chuurch that grew in Rome. The Wh*re of Babylon literally IS Rome. It is the city that rest on seven hills. Not the largest Christian Church who's head quarters rests on ONE! Gosh is you were strictly sola scriptura Catholicism shouldn't even be an option it rest on one stinking hill not seven. End of interrogation.

You are projecting you are idea of the Wh*re onto a body that does not fit EVERY scriptural requisite. You're not a sola scripture. You're a Sola Mike.

LH you really need to get a hold of your self. I won't debate with you. you don't even make sense. I have spoke the truth and it matters not what think.
