Lori,
Do you ever wonder why there are so many interpretations of the bible? Resulting in uncounted different "sects" and chaos?
And why there is only one interpretation of F = ma, agreed to by all? The answer is, of course, simple.
You or anyone can go out and confirm F=ma in your own backyard. But the bible is extremely vague, to the point where there are hundreds of interpretations! Who's correct? How to tell? No one! And you Can't!

Here's the thing guys...I only know and witness to what Jesus has shown me of Himself. I know the way He has been with me personally. I know the nature that He has shown me. I understand some of His law and word because He has taught me. He's even revealed some prophecy to me, which has absolutely blown me away. Everything that He has shown me and taught me is confirmed in scripture.
And based upon what I know of Jesus, He would never, ever, in a million years, no, in all of eternity, say to anyone, "Love me or else", which is basically the sentiment that Lawdog is representing. What I'm saying is that Lawdog did not get that sentiment from Jesus.
Superluminal,
It says in the Bible, and I attest personally, that scripture is interpreted to you personally by the Holy Spirit. It's about being born again spiritually...and having a relationship with God Himself. You can interact with Him, and He teaches you whatever you want to know.
As opposed to it being about attending mass however many times a week and saying however many "hail mary's"...whatever that's supposed to mean/do.

Oh, but he did! And he would most likely call you a blasphemous liar to your face for even suggesting such a thing. And he will just as fervently state that it is in fact YOU who did not get any sentiment from Jesus.
One thing for sure is that one of you is going to hell - I wonder which?
lawdog appears more pious with his convictions than you. I think he is right and you are wrong.

Lori,
You have made some statements here that I suspect you think are facts.
Will you tell me that if I open my heart and mind, and ask, truly ask, for the inspiration of which you speak, that I will receive it?

remember, there's also other religious people with different religion... they also think they're right. all of them think they're right. and whoever doesn't follow Their religions goes to hell!.... but i know that there's many paths to heaven and hell.
whoever doesn't follow Their religions goes to hell!
Then YOU will go to hell since you do not follow their religions. Are you prepared for an eternity of fiery damnation, in which demons with sharp little teeth knaw at the soft dangly parts of your netheregions?
but i know that there's many paths to heaven and hell.
That does not matter for their religions demand your explicit devotion, which you do not nor will not provide. Therefore, you will go straight to hell. You cannot escape this fate.

Those who are not Catholic we commend to the grace of God, provided that they not knowingly reject Christ. As I said before, Hell accepts only those who knowing, willingly reject Christ, provided that He has been properly represented by His messengers, and still rejected.
It would be contrary to God's Mercy to claim, for example, that someone would go to Hell simply for having a different theology. For example, an 19th century native American Indian, whose contact with Christ's messengers would have most likely been distorted, would go to Hell. This would only happen if the Faith were fully and genuinely represented to him and he still rejected it.
Born Againers and other Protestants should not criticize the Church so much, after all, we gave the Holy Scriptures, our monks preserved it, as well as many pagan writings.
Those who never had heard of Christ, and have commited serious evils, such as the old pagan Romans might have, would go to Hell, but perhaps not a very hot level.
Most folks go to Purgatory because their just stupid. Its unbearibly hot down there too.

Lawdog,
Has anyone ever told you how childish you sound?

Who wrote that?
How?
Who wrote it? Did they say how god communicated it to them?
No, that's ok. It's Matthew 18:3
So this was told to Matt by Jesus, yes?
So this was told to Matt by Jesus, yes?
And they believed him because he said he was the son of god, and all the miracles he did, and stuff, right?
