Kerri: Pam, have you placed something new on your new site? Yours is the only page my IE will not let me open. It is weird.

Pam: Goodbye, Bravenet Blog! See the final post to the left and then visit me at my new blog home!

Pam: Kerri, your holier-than-thou attitude is a lot of things, but enlightened it is not. You, my dear, as a self-righteous PROTESTANT, are in no position to berate others for their beliefs. My beliefs are in the faith the Christ founded, not one founded in the 17th century on the toddler-esque temper tantrums of a man in northern Europe or on a version of the Bible created in 1611 and authorized by a homosexual. Get over yourself.

Kerri: I can think of no verse that fits you better. Unfortunately I think you willingly co-operate in being made blind and do not look for the real truth of the Word.2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.The sad thing is you don't want to know that you can be saved and KNOW IT.

Sam I Am: Hey, look at Jeremiah Wright, pastor of Obama's church. I am sure that he thinks that he is teaching the Bible correctly. Kerri, are you saying that you are the only Protestant who has interpreted the Bible right? Pam is right. It is all up to personal interpretation in Protestantism.

Pam: P.S. "My" Church is that established by Jesus Christ in 33 AD. Yours was founded less than 400 years ago and is definitely full of "man made" traditions as very few of your beliefs and interpretation of the Holy Scriputres agree with the early church.

Pam: Kerri, of course there is an interpretation problem. Just look at the plethora of feuding protty sects. Are you saying that you and those that agree 100% you are the only true Christians? Come on! Quick looking down your nose at people who read the Bible and do exactly what you do -- interpret it for themselves. You are a fallible human with little knowledge of the faith. You interpretation is just that -- YOUR. INTERPRETATION. Mine just agrees with that of the very earliest of Christians

Kerri: Pam, there isn't any interpretation necessary for those verses - they mean what they say. The problem is that your church can not support what it believes UNLESS they can make those verses and others mean something else.

Sam: I was visiting family out west. I only have a second but I thought that I would drop in and say hi. I love the new blog!

Pam: Once again, Kerri, you are placing YOUR INTERPRETATION on the Bible and presenting erroneous views on what the Catholic Church teaches. I believe what God has said, both through the Scriptures and through His Church. Your ignorant views mean little to me. It's sad, really. You make yourself a mini-pope, posing your views and interpretations as infallible, then spit and scoff at the views of others. One last time -- TAKE. A. HISTORY. CLASS.

Kerri: I could go on and on with verse after verse. (Eph 2:8-9)(Rom.8:1) and many more. You may believe what some men have said, but what about what God said?

Kerri: God had John record Jesus' words, Joh 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Your church certainly doesn't believe the promise of that verse. It promises present possession of eternal salvation.

Kerri: God had John write - 1Jo 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life - also read 11-12 The Catholic church doesn't believe a person can KNOW they are saved.

Kerri: Really Pam? lets see.. 1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; The Lord had Paul say there was ONE mediator and it wasn't Mary - it was JESUS

P.S.: WELCOME BACK, SAM!! Where have you been?

Pam: Kerri, I am reading what the Bible says. So do the members of the thouands of feuding Christian sects out there. It all comes down to INTERPRETATION. Mine is the same as that of the earliest members of the church. Yours? Well ...

Kerri: Sam, I will trust the written Word of God that He has preserved for us as He promised to do and the leading of the Holy Spirit. 1 John 2:27 I am not looking at "my" interpretation - I am looking at what the Bible says. Read the post I have up now and see what I mean.

Sam I Am: Kerri, you DO realize that the early Church fathers were hand-taught by the very writers of the New Testament, do you not? I am positive that they would know better what the writers meant than, say, a protester of the church in the year 2008. I trust their interpretations and ideas much better than that of a closed minded Baptist any day.

Pam: Kerri, Nay, the church was here before your KJV of the Bible. You, my dear, are a believer in "man made traditions." Catholics are members of the only Church established by Christ. Good gracious -- TAKE. A. HISTORY. CLASS.

Kerri: Pam, you can say what you want - I only posted it for you - I have no need or confidence in your so called church fathers. Man errs - God doesn't. Ps 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. Your church is built on the shifting sands of man's traditions and opinions. That will fail. Jesus Christ, the ROCK, will not fail!

Pam: I do no mock you, Kerri. I pitty you. The fact that you posted more crap like the one by Webster says alot about your grasp on factual history. See the rebuttal just posted.

Kerri: I feel sorry for you both. You mock, but one day you will not. As I said I frankly don't care about the "church fathers" - I care about what the Bible says. If anyone wants to check out my link they will find what the Bible says about getting rid of sin.

Pam: Karen, that pic was taken last week ... I've not been online too much lately thanks to work, pregnancy issues, and the hubby being very ill.

Pam: Kerri, oh Kerri, you link about the early church believing in Sola Scriptura is, please pardon the language, bull shit. The author clearly has an anti-Catholic bias based on ignorance. It takes comments from the Church Fathers out of context (one must read the complete writings of the early church) and places them on a pedestal. There was no "New Testament" or a Christian Bible for 400 years so to say that that early church believed in Sola Scriptura is downright asinine!

Karen: P.S. I the new pic above. Is that recent?

Karen: Woo-Hoo! Where have you been? I want to discuss something with ya. I see that Kerri is back posting B.S. protty links.

Kerri: You may also want to read this link on a 6 day creation. It is enough for me the Bible says the evening and the morning were the first day etc, but I know you like all the other stuff.

Kerri: I was looking at some things on creation when I found this page on early church fathers and scripture that you might want to check out. I personally just need the scriptures but you might find what the page says interesting - the writer has heard your claims that is for sure.

Kerri: Mainly just curious. You answered about like I expected you to. I too have known Bapt. who believe evolution, but as I said before, being bapt. doesn't mean anything - I know a good many Bapt who are lost and going to Hell. Whether Bapt. Pentacostal, Catholic whatever - if it disagrees with the Bible it is wrong.

Pam: Well, of course I do, Kerri. I might add that I know many Baptists who believe in evolution (my A.P. Biology teacher in high school, who was the wife of a Baptist preacher, was an adament supporter of Darwin's theory) and I know Baptists who believe the flood was a parasble, not an actual event. Why do you ask?

Kerri: Do you believe that the story of Noah and the flood was talking about a literal world wide flood that covered every mountain in the world and destroyed all life on earth except Noah and his family?

Pam: The Bible supports evolution, in a sense, Kerri. Do I believe in Darwin's theory? No, but do I believe the God created earth in six, 24-hour days? No. That's human time, not God's. We are told in the Old Testament that a day to God is like thousands of years to us. What's your query now?

Kerri: I'm curious about something I was told. Do you believe in a literal six day creation or do you believe in evolution?I would like to hear your answer and any of your friends.

Pam: Karen, you didn't have to get me anything! I'm 30 / 31 weeks along ... and feeling HUGE! When will Sam be back?

Karen: Oh yeah. Sam has been in New Mexico visiing family.

Karen: Hey Pam. I stopped in before I headed out to church to give you a shout out. I have a baby gift for you! Where do I send it? Same old address?

Pam: That is YOUR PERSONAL INTERPRETATION of a few well-chosen verses. You should really quit looking down your nose at the personal interpretations of others. Your interpretation is not the Word of God itself ... just the opinion of an anti-Catholic Baptist. Call Christ a 'wafer' again and your IP will be banned. I've asked you too many times to STOP being disrespectful.

Kerri: Spiritually we receive by faith not physically - John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Kerri: Pam, we are cleansed from our sins by the blood of Jesus, the blood He applied to the mercy seat in Heaven. We are given eternal life when we turn from our sin, believe God and trust the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour - NOT when we eat a wafer and drink wine. We receive Jesus as Saviour by faith - List to the Word of Christ.

Pam: Karen: How are you! I knew you'd be sniffing around here again soon ... where is your friend Sam? Anyway, I was at work last night and am head there again. I'll be home around 3 a.m. if you wanna chat! (That goes for you, too, Terri!)

Pam: Kerri, the eucharist is the flesh and blood of Christ. Read up on it with *reputable* sites and information. You rely to heavily on biased information. Talk to a priest. Read the works of Scott Hahn. Those are places where you'll get reliable information. And no, adoring the flesh and blood of Christ is not idolatry, as that very blood saved us from eternal damnation.

Kerri: Pam, it isn't just the extreme ones I am looking at as an example of how wrong it is. I found a Rom. Cath. page that described the adoration of the Eucharist as the presense of Christ - Pam, that is no different than worshipping images as God, as forbidden in Deu 4- it is idolatrous.

Karen: I almost forgot. I have a baby gift for you. When are you due again?

Karen: Damn. I miss everything! I was online earlier, too. Oh well. I'll call you tonight at the pharmacy because I have something to tell you. Nice to see you back on here.

Pam: Oh, Kerri. Of course there are others! Satan has been trying to destroy Christ's Church since its inception. He will never succeed, though. Christ promised. The church is full of good and bad people. No church is full of saints alone. And no, asking your over and over and over to be respectful or face the consequences is not censorship. You just need to learn to control your tongue and be a little more respectful.

Kerri: Pam, That news article is just one example of what I am saying. There are others, but you would ignore them also. RCC is not disrectful it is a simpler way of writing Roman Catholic church. You are looking for an excuse that you can condone and not call it censureship.

Bravenet Community Blog: Hi Pam. I'm just doing some blog-surfing and thought I'd take a peek at what your journal is all about. I like the layout - nice and easy on the eyes. You have great content, too - and a lively little debate going on in your Tagboard, too, I see. I'll be back; meanwhile, have a great weekend!

P.S.: You will not be asked again to cease referring to my faith as "RCC" and to the eucharist in such a vile manner. Be disrespectful (or ignornant) again and your IP will be banned. You can disagree without being disrespectful or inflammatory, Kerri.

Pam: Are you serious? That is your basis? (And that isn't the link you left for Jeff and I.) I suppose I could villify all Baptists thanks to the married preacher who raped a woman in the Upstate a few years ago. The actions of a few do not represent the faith, Kerri. Try again. But Fox News? Even as a conservative I know that Fox news is a joke! So, what is the real reason that you hate Catholicism?

Kerri: In fact the other one was fox news also, I just went and looked the same as the link to this one. You may not like what it says, but it is the news.

Kerri: I don't believe that Fox news is a "anti-catholic" site and here is a link to the article also. It is simple news. and the fact that some RCC members got upset enough over a wafer to threathen death is just reported news. It also is idolatrous.
