Bless This Bottled Water

restlesslilly,
It's not that people are stupid, it's about the brainwashing of the Catholic Church from infancy to adult life. I don't think that you'll see some 20 years old buying blessed water, because most of them don't go to church to be indoctrinated by this false religion.

olablue,
I don't know if you read the Bible, but It says : "For THERE IS one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

(1 Tim 2:5)

William,
I assume that you're referring to the Catholic Church. I must admit that I agree with you.
What I wholeheartedly disagree with is that God has nothing to do with it. Men did the things you described. The Catholic Church is a denomination full of religion, traditions, men made rules using God as tttheir

I see that william is back with his idiocy.

President Hillary,
Blessing water is an invention of the Catholic Church. It has no spiritual value. It's not biblical like many of the Catholic Church Inventions. Just to name a few : Purgatory, Pope's infallibility, the forgiveness of sin, the only Church that will get you to heaven, infant baptism, once saved you can loose your salvation, the Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ himself, the worship of Mary, Her Ascention and so forth.

olablue,
My intentions are not to debate religious denominations.
I believe that the whole Bible is inspired of God.
I do not get my understanding from men.
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

(2 Tim 3:16,17) (Authorized King James Version)

This is an example of another charlatan profiting from the comercialization of the son of God's name. Just like the Pharisees were thrown out of Jerusalem's temple by using the house of God for commercial ventures as they were in no way representing Jesus, these bofoons are in no way representing Jesus interests but only their own greedy interests.

I believe there is a HUGE market for this product. I have been taking water for several years now from a Holy site in Rome City, IN and the numbers of others doing the same has grown exponentially this past year when the Catholic Church finally approved the apparitions of the Virgin Mary that took place there in 1956 (Our Lady of America apparitions).

I believe this particular water has been responsible for my drop in blood pressure and my heart condition. I drink it every day.

olablue,
I respect your faith and I'm not trying to convert you, but simply to share my views.
I'm a Bible believer first. The Bible is perfect because it's the Word of God.
Religion and denominations are not perfect because they are founded by men.
We are not saved by a religion, but only through Jesus our Savior. If we have Jesus in our heart, than religion can't hurt us, but we can't compromise on His word.

angelus1967,
Let me see if I have this right. You wrote : BUT, if we don't believe in them and pray to them ......
Why would we pray to someone that we don't believe in.
That to me is some kind of split personality.

Anytime you use the name of God, in whatever form, to back your product, or line your pocket; there is a major ethical dilema. Its just wrong. The include those who put a fish on thier business sign to promote their business. What if something goes terribly wrong and you go bankrupt and leave unpaid bills, say due to health failure, or financial or other disaster. What have you just done to the name of God?
Bottom line: Stake your own reputation upon His, not the other way around.

After reading this entire thread. I have to admit, I had a little respect for the human race, but its all gone now. I promise I will start going to church to find myself someone that I can have sex with and for female to have my child. I will make it my goal in life to "save" a female that can bread from the church. Ill make her hate religion. Although as a evolutionist I am a very passive person, I think its the only right thing to do. I hope her parents are religious also becuase were getting married in Vegas by Elvis (Who is a real God).

My mother-in-law would by the so called blessed water. So far none of the holy water she has used has stopped her from stealing prescription drugs and selling them, but she loves jesus. Also, since she came to the US she has been living off of welfare and brags about scamming them. Unfortunelty, the US made her a citizen when they should have deported her.

Just to piss people off, I want to ask. Everyone who is bashing Catholics, do any of you believe that Protestant drivel is any less absurd? A fool is a fool, be he Shinto Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddist or Moonie!
