And again... tried to learn the difference. Everyone but you agrees that the word Infallible is a synonym to the word Impeccable. And as WHICH church defines it? Many of your posts try and support your beliefs by quoting from a book tailor made to your beliefs. I could give a hoot less how the catholic church chooses to define their terms, to people living outside of the catholic church, impeccable and infallible mean the same thing. Not trying to be disrespectful and call you stupid [as you seem to enjoy doing to others] just pointing out that when logic itself is scratching its head, maybe it is time to re-evaluate the state of your beliefs.
Gosh – another big fat LIE from another hate-filled anti-Catholic.
What a surprise . . .

Ummmmmm – NOWHERE in your last post did you show that impeccable and infallible were synonyms.
Do you even understand what a “synonym” is?
Here you go sparky . . .

syn·o·nym
ˈsinəˌnim/Submit
noun
a word or phrase that means exactly or NEARLY the same as another word or phrase in the same language, for example shut is a synonym of close.
synonyms: alternate, substitute, alternative, equivalent, euphemism
"'harsh' may be used as synonym for 'oppressive'"


Get that?? “NEARLY” the same.
A synonym cannot ALWAYS be used in place of another word

Didn’t you ever take an English class, Einstein??

yes, i did. And with the rest of the non-catholic world, I agree that infallible and impeccable mean the same thing.
And just a side not: How do you call expect anyone to take you seriously when all you ever do is SHOUT A BUNCH OF HATEFUL NONSENSE IN BIG TYPE TO MAKE IT LOOK IMPORTANT when in all reality it seems to me like you are using this forum to throw a tantrum. Please, at least make it possible to have a grown-up conversation with you instead of saying that everyone who doesn't kiss the Pope's ring is a heathen, and is "CLEARLY A CATHOLIC HATER, OTHERWISE YOU'D AGREE WITH EVERY WORD THAT COMES OUT OF MY MOUTH".

I do not hate catholics. I pray for catholics all the time, and have on this very forum had many pleasant conversations with catholics. But enough is enough. either you want to have a discussion, or people are bound to just ignore you. So please, stop with the insults and general pointless babble and lets actually talk about something other than your clearly anti-protestant agenda. And when someone else makes a valid point, refrain from just tossing out insults. Accept and make a counter point if you can, but try to use love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and a whole heck of a lot more self control.

im·pec·ca·ble
/imˈpekəb(ə)l/

adjective

  • 1.(of behavior, performance, or appearance) in accordance with the highest standards of propriety; Faultess :"a man of impeccable character"

in·fal·li·ble
/inˈfaləb(ə)l/

adjective

Even if i did't know english very well, I know enough to know that when 2 words are spelled the exact same, they tend to have the same meaning.

I am a Protestant by birth. I am also a Protestant by choice. There are many things about the Roman Church with which I disagree. (There are things in my denomination with which I disagree.) But the Romans are Brothers and Sisters in Christ. As are the Greek and Russian Churches, The Anglican and the Lutheran (German) Chuches, etc. NO Denomination, not even yours, worships properly. We all make an attempt, we all try to follow the Gospel prescription. But we are sinners and we miss some detail. God still loves us. It's not What We Do, it's What's In Our Hearts that He cares about.

How many "Christians" follow the so-called "Prosperity Gospel" preachers? Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart are two prominant Protestant Preachers who were forgiven by their followers. How many more will fall into temptation and sin in a public manner? The Roman Church perverted the Gospel with their selling of Indulgences, but, as Jesus said, the one without sin should cast the first stone.

What makes Christianity different from other religions? We never bicker and feud. We always show Love to our Brothers and Sisters. That's why the World runs to the Christians and joins their churches. Because it sees the Love and Forgiveness we offer each other. :D

You are an extremely rude man.
But, you don't feel that all of the lies being spewed here about the Catholic Church Church are "rude"?
WHY
is that??

Does that make you a hypocrite?
Something to ponder . . .

Papal Infallibility as defined by the Church states:
In general, exemption or immunity from liability to error or failure; in particular in theological usage, the supernatural prerogative by which the Church of Christ is, by a special Divine assistance, preserved from liability to error in her definitive dogmatic teaching regarding matters of faith and morals.
The wordy explanations don't cover for anything. Attempted wriggling out only digs the hole deeper.

Joking?
Only if sarcasm is a joke...

Matthew 18:15-18 is NOT about calling each other names.
That is covered in Matthew 5:45-48.

Just because our forefathers began this TRADITION does not mean we must keep it!

Next time you are in Scotland, take time to visit St. Andrews Cathedral. It is a wonderful monument to Human Understanding. :rolleyes:

This began as an interesting thread.
But we've been at each other's throats for 500 years.
Do you really think you are going to win this argument with the tactics of the past?

I came across a book "The Spirit and Forms of Protestantism" by Louis Bouyer: It might help you understand the Roman Church viewpoint. But pray before you read it. The first part is decent. But my blood pressure went up as I read the second part. (see the PS below) My point here is that Bouyer offers a viewpoint that, while it made me mad and was extremely difficult to comprehend, opened my mind to understanding the Roman Church a little bit better.

Ultimately, Bouyer makes the claim that the Protestant Faith is founded on faulty philosophy. When we Protestants understand this, we can begin to communicate with our mistaken Roman Church brothers and sisters. I found it incredible and insane that Bouyer does not address the subject of selling indulgences directly and that he proves that St. Augustine, St. Thomas Acquinas, Luther and Calvin all agree on the basics of the faith so that he can dump his philosophical argument on us.

We Protestants cannot convince our Roman Church brothers and sisters about anything when we discuss Indulgences. They are unable to hear us. We have to understand that if they would not listen to Hus or Wycliffe or Luther, they are not likely to listen to us. The way to reach them is by example. Show them that we are filled with the Holy Spirit. Show them our Faith by our Works. Best to re-read the Epistle of James before engaging in an argument with them...

;) After all, (LOL) Jesus founded His Church on St. Peter and not on the Truth;););). (And, yes I know. Romans don't think this is funny. But sometimes one just has to tease the cat...:D.)

PS: It was while reading this book that I was given a vision that explained the relationship of Faith and Works and Obedience. I will always be grateful to Bouyer for providing the stimulus for that vision.

I am often shown by my Lord that I am a hypocrite.

you are still a rude man.
I simply don't tolerate dishonesty - and neither should YOU.

And, by your selective silence, I guess we now see that YOU are extremely hyocritical.
Good
job . .

That's because you're USED to viewing the world through anti-Catholic lenses.

Do your homework instead . . .

"Intelligent" your remarks are laughable...
Okie dokie

Don't think there is a category on this forum for your brash type of comedy. You should have noticed it has not been well received.
I’m not here to be“liked” - I’m here to expose LIES.

You of ALL people should know that by now – as many times as I've exposed your ignorant lies . . .
