Got it.
Although I do wish that there was a rule against members insulting my family in heaven.
Alternate question: If bad people are sent to hell by God doesn’t that mean Satan is doing God’s work?
According to you, he finds you quite often. Have you ever thought to tell him, “No need to check up on me personally any more, I’m convinced. Why don’t you go drop in on any/all those other millions that are desperately looking for any sign that they are not alone in the world?”
This is a new one!
Welp, you have yet to cite a credible source, much less bothered to read through the evidence you thought could be proof. Claims of seeing orbs do not trump photographs of these orbs. We can’t locate these people and ask them more questions about their experience. Visual proof is much more compelling and verifiable. You probably prefer rumors and glurge over visual proof because they’re harder to disprove.
There’s a difference between something being true because it can be verified and something being true because you want it to be. You see a blob of light and instantly come to the conclusion it’s a spirit orb. That’s not proof. That’s a fantasy.
How about if I claim that the chair I’m sitting in is made of Pepperjack Cheese? How do you know it’s true? Because I say so? Oh wait, if I say something about Jesus, that makes it true. The chair I’m sitting is made of Pepperjack Cheese and Jesus’s face is on the cushion. You don’t believe me? How about all those numerous witnesses who’ve seen Jesus’s face in moldy walls and grilled cheese sandwiches? Guess they dismiss proof that I’m not sitting on Jesus’s face, right?
Moses and Arron would not have approached the Pharoah before each plague if he had no choice.
And each time, GOD hardened the Pharoah;s heart so that he would not listen.
You don’t see the pattern there?
Exodus 8:15, 8:19, etc and so on.
GOD wanted to punish the Pharoah, so he made it so he would not listen - to prove that the pharoah would not listen - even the one time the pharoah started to listen, God ‘rehardened’ his heart so that he wouldn;t.
your god is a spiteful little thing.
Are you saying the Bible lied?
So, someone born mute, who cannot confess anything with his mouth, is out of luck? Hell beckons? How about if he uses sign language, or writes it down?
(Okay, seriously. Why is it the Bible is absolute truth and the immutable Word of God one moment…and just a silly metaphor the next? Who makes these decisions?)
So you’re dismissing the RCC priests and setting yourself up as more knowledgeable than they? Yeah, that’s in accordance with RCC doctrine, tradition, and practice, Martin.
It’s rather obvious from your posts in this thread alone that you really don’t know a blame thing about the Holy Spirit as described in the RCC scriptures. Funny thing, though, is that those telling you that happen to run the gamut from Catholic, to former Catholic, to Mormon, and even atheist.
Ah, but there is an approved theology, of course. Your postings here obviously do not jibe with that.
Except where you’ve set yourself up as more knowledgeable (which you’re obviously not) about RCC theology, etc., than the RCC hierarchy.
A more important point is that God created the consequences of exercising that free will.
As I’ve pointed out, God could have given people free will while they’re alive and allowed everyone into heaven when they died. But God chose differently. He gave people free will and then decreed that if people used their free will in certain ways, God would punish them with eternal damnation.
Once, my wife and I had both seen my doppelganger(spirit-double). It was revealed to me by a knowing spirit that my body had been cloned by aliens. The Legend of the Doppelganger says that it means imminent death for anyone seeing their own doppelganger. I believe that aliens do this to hide their evil. I also believe that they are fallen angels. One night, I believe that God had protected me from them by increasing my body temperature to a high fever. Causing me to thrash around and thus scaring them away. The fan was blowing up my nose at the time and I could smell their scent. They smelt as if they had come from the water. My wife had said that something was pulling on her leg and that she smelled sulfur. I believe that the sulfur smell is the gas they use to knock people out.
So, we’re just gonna get a slow motion “Gish Gallop”?
I are the sadderest. 
(But not at all surprised!)
CMC fnord!
How about responding to what people are saying to you and asking of you, instead of ignoring it and throwing up even more religious glurge for us to add to the pile? In what possible way is this story a response to the last few posts?
You may be right about this. It’s certainly true if I’ve had curried-egg sandwiches for lunch.
That’s just the smell of brimstone.
I do not claim to possess more knowledge than the Catholic Church. I said that on account of my experiences, there are a few things that I can teach in more detail than many within the Church is all. You say that I have diverged from Catholic Theology, but you have failed to show one point where this is true. For that matter, you have failed to even show one point where this might be true.
…did your hands feel just like two balloons?
So The Great Shepard is… mutton-mongering riffraff…?
It’s what we’ve always suspected. Hal is GOD.
The parable of the lost sheep. It is in the bible.
