This is quite good as well.

I wonder each night if I have to specifically remember each and every sin or if I can cover them all with "please forgive me for me sins". This always bothers me because I wonder if I have sinned but am not aware of it at times.
Anyway, sorry for the incessant posting frenzy...ha-ha.

Your state of mind is tragic. Its called spiritual abuse Chris. Your worry over past sins not confessed is a tragedy. You are limiting mercy and grace. Clearly you don't understand it.
Listen to some of the sermons on this site concerning mercy, grace, forgiveness if you really want to learn. For some reason you just come here to listen to these guys.

I don't believe any of you here. You all support each others abuse of others. Your churches must be awful.

Maybe you would like to introduce yourself, Grace, and tell me your position on justification. This is the one key issue when we are considering eternal life or eternal death.

Christians don't hide their true beliefs from those around them.

But sometimes I don't think you are a Catholic John Y.

How do you know John Y John UK? It seems a rather odd thing to confide all of a sudden? If you know him then are you two just playing a funny game on a Christian website? Or are you JY and JUK?

There are only so many possibilities John's.

People can be addicted to religion just like people can be addicted to drugs or drink or food. People can be addicted to posting on forums.

John Y!!! Make YOURSELF KNOWN.

Am I getting closer John? How many types are there sitting around you at Mass John? What are the names of his women disciples? In your church John, I KNOW, how the real men are dwarfed in the shadow of the ladies adoration of 'Christ'. Sneaky isn't it?

Or are you one of those sitting on a 'lay committee' in obedience and on a mission for your masters?

You can't 'reach' them. How do you reach the 'rich'? Are you asking what the formula is? John Y doesn't want to be reached. Its my guess he came here to 'reach out' to you.

They have to come away all by themselves. The elite look down on others Chris. You don't listen to people you think are inferior to you.

John Y is the definition of hypocrisy. He just 'omits' to say certain words in the Mass which he doesn't agree with. So his religion is childish to say the least. He thinks he has to utter something with his mouth before he is guilty. But John KNOWS the Mass is a community affair. In one voice the Mass is said. You can omitt to say whatever you like, the others are saying it for you.

Cathoicism is not built on facts. So the facts are a lesser importance. Your work with the canon would be very useful with evangelicals who think Catholicism is just another 'nice' way of doing lunch with God.

John? Do you have friends in the RC church - or are you one of those who come in late and sit at the back, suspicious and wary, and leave early?
Thats what I miss most. The peace of the Mass. Just me and God.
The 'Protestant' experience is so hyper active and intrusive of ones personal space. However, once you begin to see things amiss it will only get worse for you. I shall mention you specifically in my requests that Our Father make life more and more uncomfortable for you.

Unless the Board can be convinced to change course, they will effectively drive hundreds of churches from its nearly 600 schools.

"We are saved by grace through faith on account of Jesus Christ alone. ... There are Roman Catholics who hold to the essential that we are saved by God's grace. ... From an official Roman Catholic standpoint, [it's not] a crass system of work's righteousness. The idea is that we're saved by God's grace but that grace produces in the life of a believer faith infused with works, and the works are thought to be meritorious. ... It's not a crass system of work's righteousness as some suppose it to be."

Contrary to what Aquinas taught, there is no such thing as Natural Law.

"13For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

14(For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

15Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another)"

-Romans 2:13-15

These pagans even have the "work of the law written in their hearts."

Though they don't have the Book of God but do it, they're reading and following the Book of Nature.
