Emile Today you are going to play the martyr? While we are discussing how oppressed you and the Catholics are, why dont we delve into the subject of why you decided to lift your "Jews in the media" diatribe from a white supremacist organization? Your friend, Mark

Emile, "I have never said or even implied that we should not pray for all men, including Jews. Why would you put this in your statement as if to imply that I oppose praying for Jews? The fact is, I pray for all men." If that is the intent of your heart I cannot fault you on this statement. The impression your postings give is a hatred for Jewish people and the nation of Israel. It is high time you realize this. "I noticed that you excluded the Catholic Christians from your prayer list." Excuse me, I said "I will continue to pray for the Jewish people, in fact all people,..." That sounds pretty inclusive of everyone out there including Catholics wouldn't you say? Please don't twist my words. "You seem to love the religion of antichrist Judaism and but have nothing but hatred for the religion Christian Catholicism." I am opposed to any religion that professes salvation in any other way other than by Jesus Christ and only Jesus Christ. That includes Judaism and yes Catholicism. Judaism denies Jesus as the Messiah. Catholicism teaches there is no salvation outside of the Catholic church. They teach that the belief in transubstantiation is entirely essential to their faith and the hope of being saved. They teach that a person receives Christ when they eat the eucharist which has magically been transformed by the priest into the actual body of Christ and the wine into the actual blood of the saviour and the "mass" is bodily pulling Jesus out of heaven and resacrificing Him. As far as telling me that they have "preserved and gave you the Holy Word of God through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit." You will be hard pressed to find a bible in any of the pews in a Catholic church. They have always oppressed the reading of the scriptures by their membership because it exposes their false teachings. People today are now searching and questioning the teachings of that institution especially when they read the bible and find out how contrary their doctrine is to God's word. "Do you deny the Christian Catholics the right to enter the Kingdom of God?" Anyone that repents and turns to Jesus Christ for salvation as the bible tells us is saved here and now in my books. Regardless of their background. Will they grow and mature in Christ if they continue to follow false teachings contrary to scripture? The bible says "Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins...." I once had two friends who were devout Catholics. One evening we looked at what the bible says about how they could know Christ as their saviour, not slamming their churches doctrine but simply showing them salvation verses. Both tearfully consigned their hearts to Christ that night and were overjoyed with having heard that message for the first time. One week later they informed me that their priest told them they should never see me again if they wanted to remain Catholic. They ended our friendship of twelve years. You be the judge Emile. Who is denying who the right to enter the Kingdom of God? Your callous and false words that Jesus was "indifferent" to his blessed mother are both untrue and hateful." Would you refer to your own mother as "woman." Would you in your response to her asking something of you say, "woman what have I to do with thee?" I think the Lord knew full well that Catholicism would make Mary an object of worship in the future which is why he addressed her in this fashion. Come on Emile, you know full well what I am saying here. I have no problem with calling Mary blessed and recognizing the special relationship she had with the Father. I have never hated her. I do hate how Catholicism teaches people to pray to her and that she intercedes on our behalf contrary to scripture. Are you playing around with me Emile? Are you possibly pretending not to know these most basic doctrines of Catholicism and as a result placing yourself in support of false teachings, another gospel? In Christ, John
