The Topic was about Mormons. Do not be swayed by a known Catholic hater and liar dribble davi.
I It seems people search for whatever they have in mind. "Enemy of enemy is a friend" concept taken too far.
Funny, davi thinks I will be in hell. Funny as Robin Leder, a Jew, stated that her rebbe taught there is not a hell. davi is a blasphemer. What else is new?
He hasn't started a topic with Catholism in the topic title but he lashes out against Catholicism frequently. His agenda is that all the famous schools of Christianity are false.
Lent is a well-known tradition among Catholics and various other denominations, but is this 40 day period of fasting Biblical? Let's examine both Scripture and History to find out where Lent comes from, and what purpose it serves.
Let's begin by looking at the source, and see what the Catholic Church says about Lent. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia,
“the real aim of Lent is, above all else, to prepare men for the celebration of the death and Resurrection of Christ… One can effectively relive the mystery only with purified mind and heart. The purpose of Lent is to provide that purification by weaning men from sin and selfishness through self-denial and prayer, by creating in them the desire to do God’s will and to make His kingdom come by making it come first of all in their hearts.”
So, according to the Catholics, the purpose of Lent is to purify us and make God’s Kingdom come. Really? They are claiming that through self-denial we can become pure. The Bible says that we are made pure by the shed blood of the Messiah. No amount of fasting, abstinence, or self-denial can purify us from sin. Lent promotes a works based salvation that diminishes the saving work of the Messiah!

You seem like a lot of fun. Plus I can tell you're way smarter than the entire 2000 years of accumulated knowledge of the Catholic church. Thanks for setting me straight!
