I am not wrong at all. The truth is preached from good pulpits and in the streets and in homes and has been since the beginning. Your understanding on intercession is one that has been twisted to adhere to the very unbiblical traditions we are talking about.

Ask Holy Spirit to reveal the truth of any matter to you---wait, and see what He tells you. Study the bible for yourself, prayerfully, rather than adhering to truths taught from religion. Let Holy Spirit teach you.
No hate there.

I recommend getting Catholicism information directly from Lysander. Don't get it from a non-Catholic or worse, an anti-Catholic.

I don't mean to sound rude...but how do you think I came from Protestantism to Catholicism?
Now I am not claiming that I now know everything...no one does...seeking truth is a lifelong process...but I'm not going to say I was careless.
Like most who do---compromise, or because they seek the false security of salvation by works, and the attraction of religious pomp and ceremony. My opinion...not trying to be rude, either.
Compromise with who?

One last thing - and I address this to Patricia - Euphemia is wrong about intercessory prayer being unbiblical. It is found in the book of James. James 5:16 to be precise.
Nonsense. Please, present your argument here, along with your scriptural reference.
Well no, I would have no need to compromise. Actually I was at quite a lot of risk by doing this.
Becoming Catholic for security of salvation by works is not only what the Church teaches, but would continue to not make sense even if that were the case because how could I even feel secure in my works? I would feel more secure in becoming a Calvinist in fact.
If it was simply that I would want something fancy, I'd become an Episcopalian or a Lutheran.
I know you don't mean to be rude, but you have made a bad judgment call. You haven't asked, you've assumed. Is that fair?
The Lord doesn't teach it.
My assumptions may not fit your circumstance, but they are based on many a decision to add religion to the unfettered walk with Jesus.
Exactly.
Euphemia, if you are curious abut why I became a Catholic, just ask. I love telling people about my journey. But don't falsely judge. That's what you just did to me, and I don't deserve that...nor do you.
@Euphemia @LysanderShapiro @PeaceLikeaRiver @Major @Huntingteckel @KingJ So, the other day I was walking around in the dark. All of the sudden there was this skunk in front of me, his hair and tail were sticking up. I froze, "Please don't spray me, please don't spray me." Finally it started moving again, but it was moving the same way I needed to go. So I tried to walk slower, but he thought I was following him, so he slowed down. Then I slowed down. He looked at me, and his tail shot back up. I took a few steps back. Then after about 20 seconds, maybe 35 seconds, the skunk started moving again. Have any of you guys ever been sprayed by a skunk? How bad is it really?
I answered your question asking me what I thought about your switch. It isn't really judging. How am I to know if you don't tell, and what do you expect but an opinion, when you ask? Sorry you felt judged.
Hahaha, I never have, but I used to work at a summer camp as a counselor. A fellow counselor was sprayed that summer, and he had to throw out the clothes he was wearing and take multiple tomato juice baths. It took many hours to finally simmer the smell.
Perhaps we misunderstood each other. But now that you know that it was not a matter of compromise, convenience, or wanting something fancy, you are welcome to ask. If not, that's quite alright. But that also means you can't assume.
So the tomato thing is not a myth, but actually works. I wonder how many cans of tomatoes it would take to make a bath. I'm guessing at least 35 of them. Sounds like an expensive bath, but I bet it would be very therapeutic. Maybe it's something similar to those mud baths that people do.
Where exactly is the spray coming from? What would you call that part of the body? Also, I wonder if it sprays in a mist form, or is it more like a stream? If it's more like a stream then maybe if it only gets on a leg or something, a person could just take a rag and rub tomato sauce on that part only.
Well it may be a myth. The odor still remained. This was back in 2004. There may be more innovative ways to clear the skunk smell.
As far as I have learned, the tomato juice thing is a myth. As for the spray, the scent glands under the tail of the skunk produces an oil that is so powerful it can be detected a couple kilometers away!
