You guys really amaze me.

That's 'cause we're AMAZING AND ENTERTAINING while you're just AMUSING.

amaze
a = without
maze = as in a puzzle

We're not puzzled 'CAUSE WE KNOW WHAT WE KNOW.

a = without
muse = teacher

In other words, you're museless, which makes your knowledge self-serving (serve yourself variety) and USELESS!

While you troll the internet (believe everything you read?) we follow where YahShua shows us to toss the net! Plenty of meaty info for us and Play-doh meals (let's pretend!) for you (John 21:3-11)!

First of all, the Church was thoroughly "Romanized" by the time Patrick came along, and if anything, he was on the opposite "rim" of it from the middle east, facing northern European barbarians with a solidly Roman Christian foundation.

To quote AWP:

Ignorance Rules / The kind of history you seem to embrace is of the sort that some modern "social studies" textbooks recount about Thanksgiving: that the celebration was to thank the Indians for getting them through the first winter. And as Nazi propagandist Goebbels said, if you repeat a lie long enough, it will accepted as truth.


Your remarks ... are just plain ignorant.

*******************

Goebbels learned from his CATHOLIC handlers WELL.

The harlots of Rome whose father is the father of lies and a liar from the beginning could not make inroads with the Irish until the 7th and 8th centuries. They did this by FABRICATION of Patrick myths.

You see, Columba was an even greater (and much more RECENT) hero, but the memory of him was too fresh PLUS there were writings of his extant AGAINST Rome.

So-o-o-o Rome had to go all the way back to Patrick to present a "champion" of Rome with a mythology of LIES. Patrick's family was of three generations of priests ... priests who MARRIED and had children. They (including Patrick) knew NOTHING of Rome TO WRITE AGAINST so that's the CLOSEST Rome could get to a "champion" for their manufacture!

You've been SUCKERED (and SUCCORED) by the harlot of Rome ... over and over and over again.

Patrick was a SABBATH KEEPER, TORAH OBSERVANT, FEAST KEEPER and KEPT THE FOOD LAWS as ALL True Believers in Ireland through AT LEAST the 7th century.

Check out the 8th century work of Bede, 'Historica
Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum' ... just for starters.

Then join with me in OBEDIENCE to The Word as Patrick, Columba and all the True Believers of Ol' Eire, as well as the 1st century apostles and YahShua ha Mashiach himself!

Now FA, you have PLENTY of homework to get started with (there is MUCH MORE on the subject) so if I hear from you very soon I'll know that you are at least a disingenuine if not downright dishonest student of history.
