Catholics and protestants use different versions of the Bible ? That's news to me
:confused:

 

Wow, my father went to Harvard Seminary and was a protestant chaplain in World War II and Korea. After that he was a minister at protestant (congregational) for thirty years. I didn't know we had a protestant bible either. ;)

Doesn't the Bible state that animals have no soul and therefore can't sin and/or be saved through redemption ?

 

That may be someone's theological viewpoint, but I can honestly say that most of the pets I've owned have had more soul than a good number of the people I've known. If there are no animals in heaven, I'm not sure I want to go! :)

Sounds like a great idea, if you're looking to have your hands and forearms slashed and clawed all to hell!
:D

 

i have to agree here.... i don't think that it is worth getting your arms ripped up by baptizing you cat....

all my cats that i have had over the years HATE (understatment) water and kill when anyone brings them near it

you manage to discount the wisdom of religion while showing your ignorance of religion in the very same post.

Cats dont much like water. Dunking cat in water likely to result in grumpy cat. And remarks like "Good lord that cat really scratched the hell out of the preacher!" LOL. As far as what the bible says, couldnt care less. But if you wanna baptize yer cat, wear nice heavy gloves to avoid scratches & bites from grumpy wet cat. Lol.

God said: "Don't give me your tin horn prayers

Don't buy roses off the street down there"

Took it all and took the dirt road home

Dreaming of Jenny with the light brown hair

 

Night is falling like a bloody axe

Lies and rumours and the wind at my back

Hand on the wheel, gravel on the road

Will the pawn shop sell me back what I sold?

 

I'm gonna take the sins of my father

I'm gonna take the sins of my mother

I'm gonna take the sins of my brother

Down to the pond

 

Birds cry warning from a hidden branch

Carving out a future with a gun and an axe

I'm way beyond the gavel and the laws of man

Still living in the palm of the grace of your hand

 

World's not easy, the blind man said

Turns on nothing but money and dread

Dogs been scratching at the door all night

Long neck birds flying out of the moon light

 

I'm gonna take the sins of my father

I'm gonna take the sins of my mother

I'm gonna take the sins of my brother

Down to the pond

 

Smack dab in the middle of a dirty lie

The star spangled glitter of his one good eye

Everybody knows that the game was rigged

Justice wears suspenders and a powdered wig

 

Dark town alleys been hiding you

Long bell tolling is your Waterloo

Oh, baby, what can you do?

Does the light of God blind you or lead the way home for you?

 

I'm gonna take the sins of my father

Take the sins of my mother

I'm gonna take the sins of my brother

Down to the pond

 

God all mighty for righteousness sake

Humiliation of our fallen state

Written in the book of tubold Cain

A long black overcoat will show no stain

 

Feel the heat and the burn on your back

The rip and the moan and the stretch of the rack

All my belongings in a flour sack

Will the place I come from take me back?

 

I'm gonna take the sons of my father

Take the sins of my mother

Take the sins of my brother

Down to the pond

 

Hang me in the morning on a scaffold yea big

To dance upon nothing to the tyborn jig

Treats you like a puppet when your under his spell

Oh, the heart is Heaven, but the mind is Hell

 

Jesus of Nazareth told Mike of the weeds

I's born at this time for a reason you see

When i'm dead i'll be dead a long time

The wine's so pleasing and so sublime

 

I'm gonna take the sins of my father

Take the sins of my mother

I'm gonna take the sins of my brother

Down to the pond

 

Kissed my sweetheart by the chinaball tree

Everything I done is between God and me

Only He will judge how my time was spent

Twenty-nine days of sinning, and forty to repent

 

The horse is steady but the horse is blind

Wicked are the branches on the tree of mankind

The roots grow upward and the branches grow down

It's much too late to throw the dice again, I've found

 

I'm gonna take the sins of my father

Take the sins of my mother

Gonna take the sins of my brother

Down to the pond

 

I'm gonna wash them

I'm gonna wash the sins of my father

I'm gonna wash the sins of my mother

Wash the sins of my brother

'Til the water runs clear

 

- Tom Waits
