Is this an ironic claim or what (link)?
All humor aside, God alone knows the heart.
Since I don't pray to the dead, I don't have to worry about disembodied spirits trying to motion "stop" (cf. link).
But then again, if I didn't listen to Moses' prohibition of necromancy and idol-worship, I'm not going to believe if someone were raised from the dead.

P.S. I note that not all Roman Catholics are equally enthused (link).

Comment Guidelines:
1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
I remember reading a book written by a former priest (Italian) who got saved here in my country, the Philippines. (He is now a missionary from Conservative Baptist International.) He had served as a rector of Roman Catholic seminaries. After reading the Bible for himself, he found out that the religion he was in was a false one. His book narrates his journey and explains the reasons why Roman Catholicism is false. He spent many pages showing from Scripture that the alleged apparitions of Mary were not of God. I remember him using this passage from the Bible.
ReplyDelete"13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds."
I think the same admonition applies to the those who believe in the "appearance" of JP II.
Thanks for the post. :)
There is alot of "voodoo" in Catholicism.
ReplyDeleteI have a book out now from the library, I forget the title but it's a Question/Answer book from some guys from EWTN. There is some weird stuff in there towards the end that I had never heard of - eventually I will get it posted.
Oh I forgot. The verse passage was from 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 (NASB).
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of "voodoo" in Catholicism? Wow.

ReplyDeleteWe can start with relics and stigmatas...
Digging up dead bodies to remove parts for veneration? Not exactly mainstream stuff.
