   your not a catholic.  Your still using a forbidden Bible...   
   Why do you post sainthood material and use forbidden books?   
      
   It does not say this.  Not the true Bible.  And it tells you not to do   
   the things your doing.     It does not give the instruction, do not   
   judge.  Never will it do so.   No matter how many times you lie about it.

   > On August 12, 304 A.D., during the persecution of Diocletian at   
   > Catania, in Sicily, a deacon named Euplius was arrested for owning and   
   > reading a copy of the Gospels. He had been reading and explaining the   
   > Gospels to a gathered crowd. He was brought to the governor’s hall.   
   > He staunchly professed his faith. Standing on the outside of the   
   > curtain of the governor’s audience chamber,  Euplius cried out: “I am   
   > a Christian, and shall rejoice to die for the name of Jesus Christ.”   
   > The governor, Calvisian, heard him and ordered that he who had made   
   > that outcry should be brought in, and presented before him. With the   
   > Book of the Gospels, Euplius was led before the governor. Maximus, a   
   > friend of the governor’s who was present,  said to Euplius, “You ought   
   > not to keep such writings, contrary to the edicts of the emperors.”   
   >   
   > The governor queried Euplius whether he brought the text from his   
   > house, or carried them about with him. Euplius replied he had no   
   > house and carried the Scripture with him at all times.  “But why,”   
   > said the judge, “did you not give up those writings as the emperors   
   > have commanded?” “Because I am a Christian. I will sooner die than   
   > deliver them. In them is eternal life, which is lost by him who would   
   > betray what God has entrusted to his keeping.”   
   >   
   > Euplius was commanded to read from the Scriptures. The saint read the   
   > passage: “Blest are they who suffer persecution for justice’s sake,   
   > for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” (Mt 5:10)  Euplius then read the   
   > passage: “If anyone will come after Me, let him deny himself and take   
   > up his cross and follow Me.” (Mt 16:24/Lk 9:23)   
   >   
   > Questioned by the governor as to what this meant, the youth replied:   
   > “It is the law of my Lord, which has been delivered to me.” Calvisian   
   > asked: “By whom?” Euplius replied: “By Jesus Christ, the Son of the   
   > Living God.” This infuriated the governor, and he ordered that Euplius   
   > be led away to be tortured. At the height of his torment Euplius was   
   > asked if he still persisted in Christianity. The saintly youth   
   > answered: “What I said before, I say again: I am a Christian and I   
   > read the Sacred Scriptures.” The martyr said, while he was tormented:   
   > “I thank You, O Lord Jesus Christ, that I suffer for Your sake: save   
   > me, I beseech You.”   
   >   
   > Calvisianus said: “Lay aside your folly; adore our gods, and you shall   
   > be set free.” Euplius answered: “I adore Jesus Christ; I detest the   
   > devils. Do what you please; add new torments; for I am a Christian. I   
   > have long desired to be in the condition in which I now am.” After the   
   > executioners had tormented him a long time, Calvisianus bade them   
   > desist, and said: “Wretch, adore the gods; worship Mars, Apollo, and   
   > Æsculapius.” Euplius replied: “I adore the Father, Son, and Holy   
   > Ghost. I worship the Holy Trinity, besides whom there is no God.”   
   > Calvisianus said: “Sacrifice, if you would be delivered.” Euplius   
   > answered: “I sacrifice myself now to Jesus Christ, my God. All your   
   > efforts to move me are to no purpose. I am a Christian.” Then   
   > Calvisianus gave orders for increasing his torments.   
   >   
   > While the executioners were exerting their utmost in tormenting him,   
   > Euplius prayed: “I thank You, my God; Jesus Christ, succor me. It is   
   > for your name’s sake that I endure these torments.” This he repeated   
   > several times. When his strength failed him, his lips were seen still   
   > to move, the martyr continuing the same or the like prayer with his   
   > lips when he could no longer do it with his voice. The governor   
   > realized that he would never give up his faith, and ordered him to be   
   > beheaded.   
   >   
   > The executioners hung the book of the Gospels, which the martyr had   
   > with him when he was seized, about his neck, and the public crier   
   > proclaimed before him: “This is Euplius the Christian, an enemy to the   
   > gods and the emperors.” Euplius continued very cheerful, and repeated   
   > as he went: “I give thanks to Jesus Christ, my God. Confirm, O Lord,   
   > what You have begun in me.” When he had come to the place of   
   > execution, he prayed a long time on his knees, and once more returning   
   > thanks, presented his neck to the executioner, who cut off his head.   
   > The Christians carried off his body, embalmed and buried it.
