The Confession of Saint Patrick 📚 Christian Classics ✝️

[@andreachristensen693]

I am greatly enjoying getting to know St.Patrick. I am very glad the Irish preserved so many documents, the bible being chief among them, but also Patricks confession. It gets a person beyond the popular lore, to the person, raw and real, whom you can tell has been changed from a nominal person in the church, knowing all the practices and words, to one who is greatly intimate with The Word, Jesus Himself. God longs for all of us to draw near like that. Sometimes He does have to use harships like Patrick faced to wake us up to true reality.

I enjoy Patrick's writings but this picture is so disrespectful to Jesus... the "Dagon" fish god hat and the double cross as well as the hand symbol of the Baphomet- The Catholics imagery of St. Patrick is blasphemous. May we glorify Jesus as Patrick did!!

[@brendanfrederick7502]

Patrick was a bishop of the Catholic Church so this is perfectly fine. In fact this is the standard for depicting him. St Patrick pray for us

[@calvinknox1142]

@@brendanfrederick7502 Why would you ask St. Patrick to pray for "us"? Christians believe that Jesus is our High Priest (Hebrews 7:25), the only mediator of the new covenant and our intercessor (Isa. 52:12; Heb. 7-8). Where is the precedent in Scripture for praying to human souls for help? By the way, if you appeal to Church Tradition, thats fine...but Church Tradition must be subject to the Word of God.

[@TheSeptacle]

@@calvinknox1142 Because Scripture also says the prayer of a just man avails much. Patrick was not Christ, but he was a just man. Did you never read in the book of Genesis how God was willing to spare Sodom and Gomorrah because of the prayers of Abraham? Or in Job, how God told Job to intercede on behalf of his sinful friends?

[@calvinknox1142]

@@TheSeptacle Read my comment. Read the Scriptures I used. And then think about the fact that Patrick is a just man who died 1500 years ago. Nowhere in Scripture does it say pray to the souls of Abraham, or Job, or anyone else. Christ alone is the Mediator between God and man. That was my point.

[@anaisnincatullus]

Baphomet is awesome!

There was no Roman Catholic Church at this point in history. There was ONLY the Christian Church with multiple traditions or sects … the Roman tradition was only one.

[@laochdé]

No there was and is to this day only one Church. The Orthodox (catholic) Church that Christ established with his blood. But since the beginning there have been people and groups within the Church that has schismed and broken away from the Church. Like the nestorians , arians, and like you said many other sects and eventually the Roman Catholics , Protestants etc etc. In the days of St Patrick the Roman Patriach was still in communion with the Church but in 1054 the Romans officially schismed and left the Church , resulting in what we know today as the “Roman Catholic Church”

[@trishkearney]

There were no protestant at this time. It wasn't until 1527 and Luther, 1500 years after Christ established His Church. A prot-est-ant must have your protests for no good purpose

[@alvinmarquez7785]

Authentic writings of personal testimony, and not a deceptive Roman Catholic scribes as d pictures depicts.

[@trailwood4]

Yep a testimony of a Roman Catholic Bishop...............

[@Jerônimo_de_Estridão]

Kek, the letter was preserved by roman catholic monks, because he was a catholic bishop, and a catholic saint!

[@jenjen4jesus939]

@@Jerônimo_de_Estridão He wasn't officially Sainted by the Catholic Church- and by his writings. he would have not approved of this image of him... Wearing the hat of Dagon the false fish god and holding the double cross...

[@CatholicK5357]

So to clarify: you are claiming that St Patrick's writings, where he rightly states that he was an ordained clergymen and Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church, is an authentic writing other than the Catholic parts? What evidence do you have of this alleged deception? Do you have an verifiable alternative source with a counterclaim?

[@CatholicK5357]

@@jenjen4jesus939 So to clarify: you are claiming that the Catholic Church's records of canonizing St Patrick as a Saint are forged? Where is your evidence for this? Likewise, where on earth do you get that a bishop's miter is a pagan fish idol?
