Because, as I have said, times without number, the Body of our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Son of God is the Church, the community of those who profess faith in her and belief in Him, the Son of Man and third Person of the Trinity. If you "profess" union with the Body, frankly, it's just plain weird.
Okay, now you're not only contradicting yourself, dear Char (peace!), but falsely stating that faith should be in "the Church" (so NOT Christ)... while only our BELIEF is in him. No, no... I'm not twisting your words, at all. Here is what YOU stated:
Quote:
the Body of our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Son of God is the Church, the community of those who profess faith[i] IN HER and [i]belief in Him...
Unfortunately, statements like these only further show that you do not know Christ, at all... and are not of his Body. Because those of his Body KNOW that:
(1) Our FAITH is to be in HIM... and ONLY him; and
(2) That one believes means nothing; the demons believe... and have belief IN Christ (
Acts 15:16-18) ... but that doesn't make them part of Christ's Body.

Quote:
How do you understand from Holy Spirit this? Those that belong to him would or should know this right?
How? Explicitly! From Jesus' own words! Along with billions of good, loving and believing Christians.
What "words," dear Char... and HOW did you "hear" them? The Bible doesn't have a mouth; it can't speak. So HOW do you understand?
Quote:
I'll remind you, as Shelby and those who follow her seem to have forgotten:
And I'll remind YOU, again, that you are one of only two who have OPENLY professed that I am the reason you are here... and of the two, you are the ONLY one who OPENLY professed that YOU followed ME. Do you not see your hypocrisy, yet? And had I joined you in revering the RCC... you would have continued to "follow" me, Char.
Quote:
"he who believes in me shall not perish but have everlasting life." As I have said many times, Jesus made it as clear as day. John 11:25. "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, yet will he live"
To WHOM was he speaking, though, dear one... and OF whom? Everyone, as you believe? But his words don't include everyone, do they, but only those who HAVE FAITH IN him (which is what the word you translate as "believes" really means. Yet, above, you profess that your faith is NOT in him... but in "the Church." Do you SEE?
Quote:
"He who believes in me." Exactly, EXACTLY what I said.
Sorry, but no. While on the one had you make that claim as to the Catholic "Church," on the other hand you make it as to all of mankind. Again, you contradict yourself. Even more so, YOU don't believe in him, dear one... except to the extent he is still dead. Because dead persons... don't speak.
Quote:
Yet Shelby, in her post, shuts the door of heaven to those to whom Jesus opens it.
How so, dear Char? I never shut the Door that is Christ to anyone... including you. In fact, I herald that Door... SHOUT of him... from the rooftops! Where, though, is YOUR proclamation... other than your endorsement of the RCC? Even so, while I cannot do what YOU wish me... and endorse the RCC WITH you... I certainly don't judge those who have their faith in her, including you. Since "she" is their/your master, to HER you will stand... or fall. Not to me.
[On another note, I do wish you would come up with an original retort just once, rather than simply parroting me and what I've shared with you. It doesn't make you look credible, dear one, but merely another "JW-ish" type of person simply parroting what she's been told to say when asked a reason for her faith.]
Quote:
Justmom, you and Shelby ask from whom did I hear the understanding that I voiced? From Jesus Christ, Son of God
WE are not the one who say otherwise or take issue with this, dear Char; YOU are and do. YOU say you don't hear him speak to you. Yet, NOW... you contradict yourself and say you heard it from him. Again... you contradict yourself. Which is it, then? DO you hear... and if so... HOW? Or do you not, in which case, what do you mean by the above? Please note, these questions are both rhetorical and not. Rhetorical... because I have no illusions that you can... or will... respond to them. Not, just in case I'm wrong. Based on history, I don't think so, though.
Quote:
and may he have mercy on you for preaching counter to his own words
Okay, forget rhetorical. Show me... PLEASE... WHERE... in even ONE instance... I, dear 'Mom... or anyone here but you (and perhaps one or two others) have preached ANYTHING counter to Christ's words. ONE verse, dear Char. Just ONE.
Quote:
and pressing your own fictional views onto others.
That, too. Please... show me/us. Just ONE thing. AND... where we are pressing them onto ANYONE. You don't even know what we're talking about... and you certainly can't say we're pressing anything on YOU. No one is pursuing you, dear Char. WE don't come where YOU are; YOU come where WE are. Why??
Quote:
Doing so is Jehovah's Witness-type behaviour. Excluding others, in your own words, from the promises He makes. God gave his Only Son to live and die as Man for us all, for the whole world...yet not in your eyes.
And there you go: back to the whole world... yet, as above, those who "believe" in him. I feared I might have to find one of the many posts where you stated that... but you've done my work for me, thank you. But which IS it, dear Char? The WHOLE world... including those who do NOT believe in him (and there are many)... or those who believe in him? And if it's EVERYONE who "believes" in him... does that include the demons? Because remember, again, they believe in him, too.
Quote:
I am not the one who does not hear his voice.
Well, that's what WE said: that you DO hear... indeed, that you even once admitted it! YOU are the one who denies that, NOW. YOU are the one who says you don't hear. We have not said such ABOUT you. We have SAID that EVERYONE hears... but few LISTEN. Including, apparently, you.
Quote:
I do believe you hear a voice, as the alternative would be mass delusion.
Sigh. Yet another contradiction: we hear, yet you are "not the one who does not hear..."
Quote:
Quote:
If it isn't mass ( a minute, tiny, minuscule mass, fortunately) delusion, then you hear a voice. But not, most definitely not, the voice of Jesus.
Wait, and WE sound like Jehovah's Witnesses???!!! So, you believe that OTHER spirits can speak... and you have NO problem believing we hear OTHER spirits... but not THE Holy Spirit, the HOLY ONE of Israel, JAHESHUA, the Chosen One of JAH (MischaJah)... His Son and Christ... who ROSE... FROM the dead... and IS ALIVE? HE can't speak, although lesser spirits can... and we can't hear HIM (although, apparently you can, yes?)... but can hear lesser spirits?? You believe other spirits can and do speak... and people can hear THEM... but NOT the One to whom was given "ALL authority... in heaven AND on earth"?? What SENSE does that make, dear Char???
I will tell you: it makes NO sense. But, it is certainly a belief of Jehovah's Witnesses. And, apparently, you and those you share in faith with, as well. What a LACK of faith, though...
Quote:
If it isn't the voice of Jesus, and it cannot be since it tells you things going directly against the things Jesus said
,
Again, I call upon you... before JAH/God, JAHESHUA/"Jesus"/Christ... all the angels... and all of mankind, including those here... to show ME where I have shared ANYTHING that goes directly (or indirectly) against the things "Jesus" said. Just ONE, dear Char. Keep in mind... YOU will have to know what he's said... whether as recorded (which you have proven time and time again that you DON'T know)... or as you have heard FROM him. Please... show me.
Quote:
then it is something else, from somewhere and someone else, and you can work that out for yourselves as to who it is.
Actually, no, there's nothing for US to work out. There is something for YOU to work out, though... and it starts with the letter "b." I implore you... if you truly don't know, just admit that. But please don't continue to opine because what you're doing is dangerous. You are attributing the words of the Holy Spirit to "something else," by which I can't help thinking you mean anything other than the Adversary or one of HIS angels... and you don't want to do that, dear Char. Truly, you do not.
As for the discussion between you and dear 'Mom (peace to you!)... I will leave that to you and her, as I have no care of the matter one way or the other. One Pope is of one position, another of another. Earthling man, so there should be no surprise. Just like this Pope is more liberal about the matter, the former... and perhaps the next... will be more conservative. Politics. That's all it all is. Not faith in JAH/Christ. Because if it WERE... there would be no NEED for a "catechism" OR comment/position as to the matter. For the HOLY SPIRIT... which teaches ALL who belong to him... would have told ALL the SAME thing. Which is why, with that spirit... ones does not NEED any others to be teaching them! See??
Jeremiah 31:31-34; 1 John 2:26-28Quote:
The Pope was constantly referring to and quoting the Catechism, yet the press pretended something diametrically opposite and here we see result. Justmom's words on new light gloatingly and crowingly repeated here.
I will comment here, though, and ask: what, fundamentally, is the difference between, say, the Catechism, Talmud, Book of Mormon... and the Watchtower? Are these not ALL supplemental commentary? Why? Wasn't/isn't the Bible sufficient? Wait... my Lord asks: wasn't/isn't HE... and holy spirit... sufficient? According to the MOST HOLY One of Israel, JAH of Armies... it SHOULD be (
Matthew 17:5; Hebrews 12:25Quote:
As for Shelby, well, she is not forgotten. When I can stomach her poisonous abuse, I'll answer it. In my own good time.
Stop it, Char. You are not a victim here and no one is abusing you. YOU have been the abuser... and we "fell out" you and I... when I called you on it. You want me to treat YOU better than you treated others, although those others had done neither you NOR me any wrong here. You want others to respect YOUR faith... while allowing YOU to attack and tear down theirs. IF you didn't profess to be a member of the Body of Christ, I would leave you to what you do. Because you profess to BE such, I cannot. Because the Body would not do such a thing. We would, yes, expose the falsehoods of those who CLAIM to know and be "leaders" in that Body, those false prophets and false "christs" (
Matthew 24:24; Revelation 2:2, 6, 9, 13-15, 20; 3:9, 16-18).

P.s. waiting to see what new light awaits in the future.
Wasn't that witty of justmom? Were we all supposed to roll on the floor laughing, or what?
Knowing dear 'Mom as I do, I don't think she meant that to BE funny, dear Char. Not at all. Knowing her, I heard her "incredulity" at the fact that more of such "light" will come. To mankind's shame.
Quote:
Again, shame on you!
No, dear, dear Char. No. Shame... on you, dear one. Shame on you... for stubbornly sticking to your "golden calf"... rather than walking in FAITH. Shame on you... that although like Moses, our dear Lord HAS gone up the "mountain" to prepare a way for us... he is NOT dead... can hear US... and we, him... yet you deny this... and keep trying to deny us our proclamation of this. Shame on you... for professing to be a member of Christ's Body... yet, having your faith, love, and loyalty... in a body of people who don't even belong to him. Shame on you... for not telling others the TRUTH: that the Son of God, the HOLY One of Israel and Holy Spirit, JAHESHUA, the Chosen One of JAH (MischaJah)... is not only ALIVE... risen from the dead and grave... and so LIVES... but SPEAKS... and leads HIS Body... HIMSELF... and not through the various manmade organizations that purport to sit in his seat and stand in the Way... and be some kind of mediator/middleman conduit that folks must join to, be apart of, and follow the tenets of... in order to be joined to him!
Shame... on you... dear Char... for not OPENLY professing this truth, as you once were of the mind and heart to do... yet, allowing your hurt feelings... because someone disagreed with you and pointed out your error as to your poor treatment of another... you shrunk back. Shame on you... for listening to earthling man... and putting your trust in them... when we, the Body, were told NOT to put our trust in earthling man... or in nobles... because their breath goes out... and they DIE... just like the rest of us! Shame on you... for trying to point not only non-Body members, but the Body itself... to these men... and their tenets and catechisms, etc., rather than to the HOLY ONE of Israel and Holy Spirit, JAHESHUA, the Chosen One of JAH, who the MOST HOLY ONE of Israel GAVE to mankind... to guide, and lead, and teach them... so that they need any other mediators!
Shame... on... you... dear, dear Char... because you are allowing you FEAR... which fear you acquired when you ran from the traps of the RCC into the trap of the WTBTS, and uncovered yet a deeper wasps nest of lies... but because you lacked the faith to keep moving FORWARD... turned BACK... and wish to take others back with you.
If returning to "Egypt" is what makes you happy, dear one... then, please... by all means: go. We wish you NO harm and mean you NO illwill. We, though... well, at least me and MY household... will keep following the Lamb. Wherever HE goes. And he's not going through the RCC, dear one. Truly. His "dragnet" went through THAT "city" some time ago. True, on occasion some will hear the call to get out of HER... but if you've noticed, most leave her... for the WTBTS. Which is where his dragnet is now. How long in which be in that "city"... only he knows.
But it is to the "inhabitants" of THAT is the "city" that our message to "GET OUT OF 'HER'" is primarily directed, not the RCC. Hopefully, except where YOU bring that "city" (the RCC) up... others will be able to simply move on past "her"... and focus on the other. When YOU bring her up, though, you should expect to receive comments from others as to her "uncleanness." You really should expect nothing less. Especially since YOU have absolutely NO problems pointing out the uncleanness of the WTBTS. Which is fine with US. We just think you should be aware of the three fingers pointing back at the RCC, is all.
Shame on you... for ALL of this... while professing to be a member of the Body of Christ. ALL of this, however, PROVES that you have not yet attained to that position, dear one. But... the Door stands open, still. May you, then... HEAR... when the SPIRIT and his Bride SAY to you (and by say, I mean SAY... as in WORDS):
[b]"Come! Take life's water... free!" [b]But you would have to come to the One who pours that water out, dear Char... and there is only One who does: the HOLY ONE of Israel and Holy Spirit, JAHESHUA, the Chosen One of JAH (MischaJah), who is the Son and Christ of the MOST HOLY ONE of Israel, JAH of Armies.
May you be given EARS to hear that call, dear one. Indeed, may the undeserved kindness and mercy of MY God and Father, that MOST HOLY ONE... and the love and peace of His Son and Christ... that HOLY One and Holy Spirit... be UPON you... if you TRULY wish it. Truly, dear Char.
My wish for peace for you remains.
A slave of Christ,
Shellamar
The very best way to answer all the malicious, poisonous, deluded and utterly crazy nonsense above is to say, in the teenage vernacular...You wish!
All the above rubbish is not worth answering point by point. There's nothing worth even paying attention to.
It is all just Shelby, once again regurgitating the same old same old, and playing with gusto and relish her favourite new game of "let's see if I can drive Chariklo away this time, and look, folks, she doesn't know Christ!"
He would think otherwise. You go on believing what makes you happy, Shelby. There are about five people here who might even believe some of it.
