Esdb3:
My ignorance? Or your stupidity? You are not intelligent, stop quoting me! You should in the first place not have made a comment like that if you reasoned well to know my former points...... Just vanish abeg

If you had a little intelligence, you'll know that you quoted me first. And if you're not that daft, you'll realize that each time you quote me, you're calling on my attention. SMH for arrogance in ignorance, bane of protestants!

emmyskies:
You'll take some pain and shame leaving the church, but you'll be thankful you did someday in the great beyond.
Leave catholicity, serve the LORD in holiness

Hehehe, when the likes of you speak, I can't help but laugh! Save your breath emmy, I AM CATHOLIC! Deal with it.

Esdb3:
Good point, very good point. Tell me where in the bible we are asked to confess to a father, worship mary(pray to her, whichever satisfies your ego), pray to the saints......

Referring to your reply now...... Why then should they make them seem holy when they know they are just humans too that can be immoral.

2. Anyone who is a father or sister is supposed to be willing to dedicate their lives to God entirely, they could have been just members, but they chose not to.

Typical of you protestant! Beating about the bush and hasty generalisation.

If you have not read where the bible said we should confess our sins to one another, and where the apostles were given the Holy Spirit and authority to forgive or retain sins, I can only shrug. Worship Mary? Pheew.

Make them seem holy? What does that mean? So the wrongdoing of a minute percentage of priests now makes the entire priesthood immoral? I see.

It seems you never sinned since you became the so called born again, don't tell me about the righteousness of Christ covering your sins because that could also be applicable to priest and pastor sinners. Tell me you never erred, if you have, you need to take the log off your eyes first.

the end. Phew what a job!
After he returned two months later, he wired me to come back to see him. When Sister Nila and I visited him, he asked my forgiveness for all the family had done to me. His heart was definitely softening toward me, but he still did not want my God.

Later, when we arrived on the West coast, I prayed until God gave me grace to call my brother, the Catholic priest. He then asked that I forgive him for striking me at the hotel. Late that night we drove twelve miles to his home, where he was waiting on the front steps. Dashing to the car, he grabbed and held me, asking anxiously, "Oh, Charlotte, have you forgiven me?" I assured him that I had.

I learned that for seven years he had lived in adultery with his housekeeper. As he heard confessions from his parishioners, he felt increasingly guilty and hypocritical. At last, he notified the pope that he was leaving the Roman Catholic church and the priesthood. A bishop came to urge him to retire to a South American monastery to reflect on and reconsider his decision, but he refused.

Six months after his excommunication he married his mistress. One day while browsing in a second hand bookstore he purchased a King James Bible. Through reading it, both he and his wife were brought to salvation by faith in Jesus Christ.

He took me to see my sister Connie, who immediately said, "I don't want anything you have. I'm a Roman Catholic, and I'll die a Roman Catholic." She pushed me away. Eighteen months later she was taken to the hospital for a double goiter operation. Her vocal chords were severed, destroying her voice box and she went blind in both eyes. Six weeks later arthritis struck, twisting both her hands and feet. Medical doctors helped to straighten her feet but she still could not walk or talk. A therapist worked with her a year to teach her how to speak again. I gave a Bible which she quickly destroyed.

She heard of an eye doctor in Mexico and went to him. A series of operations restored her sight but she still refused to repent and seek the Lord. In 1964, she awoke with terrible pains and they removed a sizeable growth from the large intestine. Within ten days she was back home, but would not turn to God. Two years went by and she was again seized with awful pains. This time tests revealed cancer scattered throughout her entire body.

In desperation and fear she called me to come and pray for her healing. I went to her and advised her to ask God for forgiveness and prepare to meet Him, for she was surely going to die. Her weeping family was gathered around her and she cries out in terror, "Oh, no! I'm so afraid; I'm afraid, won't someone please help me? I'm so afraid!" She knew she was dying and dropped into eternity crying out in despair and fear. How tragic to have refused the Lord's mercy so many times. Six weeks after the funeral, her husband went to a small church and cried out to the Lord, was saved and filled with the Holy Spirit also.

Over the years I had received many hate letters from my family and each time I received another one and read it I would become terribly upset. Finally I stopped opening them and stored them in a box located in a safe. Four years passed and I received another letter from my youngest sister. This one I felt I should open and read. She was critically ill and said that she believed if I would come home she would get well. She asked my forgiveness for all the harsh and derogatory letters she had previously written to me.

At their house my brother-in-law and niece came out to meet me and it was obvious that he was broken and his heart was tender. He swept me into a close embrace, lifting me from the ground as we both wept for joy. He had diagnosed her trouble as inoperable stomach cancer and there was no hope.

My sister, a petite, five-foot woman, could keep nothing on her stomach and looked very gaunt and wasted. I assured her that God wanted to save and heal her and she need not die. We took her to Brother William Branham's meetings in Vanadalia.

I was up all night with my poor suffering sister. Finally we got her into the prayer line where many miracles of healing were being performed in the name of the Lord Jesus. When she received prayer, she dropped to the ground, weeping loudly. Anxiously I asked what was wrong and she sobbed, "Oh, Charlotte, God has healed me, God has healed me!"

She was hungry and we went to a restaurant to eat. She ate a good big meal, had a wonderful night's sleep and awoke with no trace of her former pain or sickness.

When we arrived back home, her husband had difficulty believing that the miracle had actually been accomplished. However, when the doctor made fresh x-rays, he announced, "Your wife is well from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. A greater power than I has healed her." Weeks later my sister and her husband were saved and became workers in a local church.

I went to visit my father when he was 93 years old. He told me that if I was going to church he wanted to go with me. Three weeks earlier he had completely lost his eyesight for the second time. After we returned from the services we were sitting in the living room when he began to tremble all over. I quickly dropped to my knees beside his chair and talked with him about receiving Christ as Saviour. I read scripture showing that Jesus alone could give absolution for sin, not the priests or the catholic hierarchy. He fell to his knees and sobbed many tears as he followed me in the sinner's prayer, asking Jesus Christ to save him and forgive his sins. Then he wept for joy saying he had never felt so wonderful in all his life. I was going to baptize him in the bathtub but my two brothers walked in and stopped me.

My brother John, lying in a bed dying with leukemia, told me he was a Roman Catholic and would die a Roman Catholic. I was with him praying when he slipped out into a Christless eternity. My older brother later left the Roman Catholic church and began to attend an evangelical church and accepted Christ as Saviour. He wrote me, encouraging me to continue giving my testimony and saying he was praying for me.

My older sister lies crippled with Parkinson's disease in a Hollywood hospital and is dying with hardening of the arteries. She too is a staunch and determined Roman Catholic, totally closed to the gospel message of salvation.

While Sister Nila and I were ministering to Roman Catholics in Quebec, my eyesight, already poor, gave way completely. I could no longer read my Bible or even my watch. As we swung back through Maine and into Boston I stopped to see an eye specialist whom my father had used to fit me with glasses years before. I told him I was losing all my vision so he ran tests and shook his head and said he could do nothing to help me. I was going blind and I so needed to read and study the Word.

We went to a meeting and had prayer for my eyes. I just knew God was working a miracle when the clock on a distant wall suddenly came into focus. Excitedly, I took a Bible and opened it, and sure enough, I read it easily. There was great rejoicing and praise to the Lord Jesus that day I can tell you!

On our return trip I once more stopped to see the eye doctor and asked him to examine me once more. Imagine his shock when I was able to easily read the fine print on the bottom of his charts instead of the large block printed letters at the top. Because of this, later he went to church and sought and received the baptism in the Holy Spirit.

Since I was saved in 1946, I have daily prayed for God to move upon the Roman Catholic Bishops, the Pope, prelates, priests, nuns and people. They all desperately need the touch of the Lord in their lives and the saving blood of Jesus Christ to wash away their sins. They labor under a terrible yoke of deception, delusion, darkness and religious works, never suspecting the liberating truths we know, of life in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Today I can still burst into praise when I recall my wonderful salvation and deliverance from unbelievable demonic bondage. Thank God, there are no more Roman Catholic priests in my life; no more confessional boxes; no more worship of and prayer to the Virgin Mary and all the other "saints;" no more wafer god.

Thank God! No more purgatory (the only purgatory the Catholics face is the priest's pocket.) In the United States, November is purgatory month and during this period priests collect nearly $22,000,000.00 saying masses for the dead. Many have paid regularly for twenty or twenty-five years of masses and are told their loved ones are still not in heaven. This terrible doctrine will force the faithful to pay and pay and pay indefinitely to secure their release. It is one of the cruelest religious hoaxes ever dreamed up by the demons to be foisted off on human victims. The awful bondage and fear generated by this false teaching is incredible.

No more scapulars, thank God! Every priest, bishop, every nun in open or closed orders and all prelates of the Roman Catholic Church wear them. It is a dirty piece of brown cloth with a hole in the middle of the top. Your head goes through the hole and the scapular falls to the front and back. From the time I entered a convent I wore one constantly. Even after escaping from the overseas convent and returning to the United States I still wore the scapular.

The night I heard the gospel and ran to the feet of Jesus for salvation I was still wearing it. I raced home, undressed, ripped off the scapular and burned it. I no longer needed that relic of past bondage and darkness for I knew I now belonged to the family of God and His royal blood flowed through my veins!

No more holy water! This was supposed to keep away all evil spirits and was stored in the convents by the barrel. Following priests' visits in the buildings, Mother Superior would give six or eight nuns bottles of the holy water with orders to sprinkle it everywhere the priests had walked, just in case they had brought some evil spirits in with them.

No more prostrating and bowing to dumb idols in prayer and supplication! God only knows how many hours I spent and how many gallons of tears I wasted at the feet of idols when I walked in the heathen darkness of religion without reality. Now I bow my knees only to the lovely Son of God, my Saviour, Jesus Christ. To Him be all glory, honor and praise, now and evermore. nun.htm

Cool story. Did you finally manage to get the name of the convent and the Mother Superior?

Esdb3:
Why did the catholic church not sue her or ask her to make the statements in court? Lemme help you to answer that; because she would have to mention the convent's name and they will be forced to open.

Don't be ridiculous. The Catholic Church is too big for these evangelical bed time stories.

You call sleeping with your sex err?? Do you read your bible? Go read up on what was written about homosexuality.......


The disciples didn't let the early church pray to them, why should catholics.

P.s-- logically if Jesus can forgive sins and he is higher than the disciples, why should they and not Jesus be prayed and confessed to. The disciples can only say "christ has forgiven you" not forgive sins themselves!!

The Holy Catholic Church has more important things to do than sue someone who wrote a defamatory article with a clone name. Maybe you don't realize she used a name that couldn't be traced to her. Maybe you should read up more facts about the said story.

You may need to direct your question to Christ who gave them the authority to forgive sins. Help me ask him why he didn't keep that authority exclusively for himself. He gave them the authority and I won't challenge him, if you are not comfortable with it, take it up with Jesus.

Mr Bible reader, pray, tell me what it is if not err.

26 Because of this, God gave them over
to shameful lusts. Even their women
exchanged natural relations for
unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the
men also abandoned natural relations
with women and were inflamed with
lust for one another. Men committed
indecent acts with other men, and
received in themselves the due penalty
for their perversion. 28 Furthermore,
since they did not think it worthwhile to
retain the knowledge of God, he gave
them over to a depraved mind, to do
what ought not to be done.

Depraved is the key word: it means God himself has made their minds immorally corrupt and wicked. It is like reconfiguration of the human thinking, making it seem their is nothing wrong with a woman sleeping with a woman, making also we who see it as a wrongdoing look wicked and foolish.

In other versions it uses the word 'Reprobate': (in Calvinism) predestined to damnation.

I rest my case. One would think that the names of the Convent and the Mother Superior would be on the top three most important details in this horror story. And funny you bring up the second world war. Imagine reading the history of a second world war between anonymous countries.

Anybody who doubts this confession shd look for this book "Near to Rome, Far from God". Confessions of ex-priests. If you read their confessions, u will know that worst things happen in the Catholic church. When from different parts of the world, lived at different times. Met christ through different encounters, wen they accepted christ, see weytin catholic do them. When you go closer to the roman catholic church, you definetly go far away from Christ. I knew the Catholic was not a church of Jesus Christ. It was The first attempt of satan to destroy the church, but he failed. God will not leave Himself without a witness. What's the purpose of treating fellow human beings so cruelly? Those mother superiors, did they go through those kinds of hash treatment before they got to the superior posts? Jesus suffered and died so that we may not suffer again. Why do they make people suffer even worst things than Christ suffered? Satan hates" man". I thank God at last she brought salvation to ur family.

The Catholics are in the pot with the muslims. Organside crime. Lies and cover ups. Worshipping stones. In different forms. Seeing the naked truth but denying it. Seeing light but preferring darkness. The ignoramous asks her to mention the convent, did you read through that Op? Did u read the part where they were taken from place to place without them knowing exactly the country they were? And you say, she shd sue the Roman catholic church, I laf. If u read "Near to Rome Far from God" you know that wen this was done to her and them, the catholic church controlled everywhere and everyone. And who exactly will she sue if she where to sue. Will she sue the entire Catholic church? This evil is still going on today. AND, if this things are lies, why hasn't the Catholic sued her for Slander?. You will also say those little 12yr old boys that r the favorite sex mates for Catholic, its also a lie? Once, I had a fracture, I had to spend along time in a privately own orthorpedic hospital owned by a catholic knight. He build a chapel in side and a convent. See caresless sex amongst these people that catholics revere. The knight removed one reverend sister from the convent section and gave her a comfortable private ward. He openly did his thing with her. Amonsgt them was a mother superior who also collected her share. So shameless.

Why am i not surprised at your post? When i saw the below, I was discouraged at enlightening you, for your reasoning amazes me. So Christianity cannot achieve success in pagan territories...smh. As if St. Paul preached in Christian territories.

See reasoning:

Anas09:
So what u spewed out up there is the reason why allah aka mohammed likes pagans? I was reading something today. I discovered that christianity could not very well penetrate Asia, I mean south central and even South east Asia, but Islam did, why? Is it not obvious that birds of the same feathers flock together? Allah is pagan god, hence he easily finds its way into the territory of other pagan gods.

And what do you call your biological father? Dont you think your post exposes your level of education? If the *call no man father* verse is a blanket ban on the word father then I guess you called your father uncle perhaps. Now explain this from the Bible:

"In that day I will call my servant
Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah . . . and
I will clothe him with [a] robe, and
will bind [a] girdle on him, and
will commit . . . authority to his
hand; and he shall be a father to
the inhabitants of Jerusalem and
to the house of Judah" (Is. 22:20–
21).

For
example, Elisha cries, "My father,
my father!" to Elijah as the latter
is carried up to heaven in a
whirlwind (2 Kgs. 2:12). Later,
Elisha himself is called a father by
the king of Israel (2 Kgs. 6:21).

Paul regularly referred to Timothy
as his child: "Therefore I sent to
you Timothy, my beloved and
faithful child in the Lord, to
remind you of my ways in
Christ" (1 Cor. 4:17); "To Timothy,
my true child in the faith: grace,
mercy, and peace from God the
Father and Christ Jesus our
Lord" (1 Tim. 1:2); "To Timothy,
my beloved child: Grace, mercy,
and peace from God the Father
and Christ Jesus our Lord" (2 Tim.
1:2).
He also referred to Timothy as his
son: "This charge I commit to you,
Timothy, my son, in accordance
with the prophetic utterances
which pointed to you, that
inspired by them you may wage
the good warfare" (1 Tim 1:18);
"You then, my son, be strong in
the grace that is in Christ Jesus" (2
Tim. 2:1); "But Timothy’s worth
you know, how as a son with a
father he has served with me in
the gospel" (Phil. 2:22).
