Hi Triumph,

Stop re-writing history or take the time to learn it. People that could read did "check scriptures to see if they were liars or not." What you have written is NOT TRUE. Stop reading anti-Catholic history and just read history. It is true some reformation needed to be done in The Church, especially the abuse of indulgences. The Reformation crew had MANY doctrinal disagreements with The Church. Does the number 95 sound familiar?

If the priest during medieval times were liars and wolves in sheep clothing then what has the Reformation wrought? The acceptance of new doctrines that are not biblically based since the Reformation by Protestant Churches are all inconsistent. They all know the CC and other Protestant Churches are wrong and they are right. So the wolves in sheep clothing have INCREASED since the Reformation so much to the point that Protestant churches are now teaching that gay marriage and abortion conform to the teachings of Scripture and baptism is just a symbol.

@Nancy and @Butterfly should be embarrassed for "liking" your lie.

An interesting thing I have learned about "History" is that it invariably seems that the other guy's version of how things went down never matches ours. Leaving BOTH versions in question.

My Father-in-Law used to say: "When it comes to the telling of a story, there is your side, his side, and...…. then there is the truth."

As I just said to Willie T., I do not discount the protestant Church's greed, and there are way more Prot. Churchs who are humble and are sincerely doing God's work than not, the televangelists and their huge very expensive "Church's" boats, houses etc. - They are no different. But that does NOT erase the deeds of the CC. in the Medieval times.
Ummmm.....Who on here has re-written history? Please quote the words or reference the post where history was re-written

Mary I am not getting into a debate with you, right now I am dealing with ' end of life ' with my ex- I really am in no mood to discuss english history with someone who isn't really interested in the answers anyway - you just want to argue about who is right and who is wrong, catholic verses non catholic
That description doesn' t prove anything with me - you can think what you like !

Hi Nancy,

So you personally know Triumph 1300 and what kind of person he is? Or are you making that judgment on the words he writes?

You say Angry and sarcastic.....I say blunt/to the point. I am not an angry person and I don't intend to be sarcastic..... :rolleyes:

It is not me who is always critical and right. I just repeat what Christianity has been teaching for 2,000 years and I believe it is right. If you think I am being critical by repeating 2,000 years of teaching then so be it.

You, and most others on this forum, have accepted the 500 year teaching of the various Protestant doctrines that you pick and choose from to fit what YOU believe......like you are in a cafeteria! I am not in a cafeteria....I am in The Church and The Church is in me.

You have me a bit confused. In the first part of your post you say that you agree with all that he wrote. Later in the post you then ask which post of his you were replying to. Soooooo that's a bit confusing to me....none the less the answer is.......Your post from yesterday (#320) is what you were replying to!

In that post he said people (in medieval times) could not check scriptures to see if they (priest) were liars or not. Since you agree with everything he said do you have any historical evidence to back it up?

I found this interesting.... The 95 Thesis had a real name.


Committed to the idea that salvation could be reached through faith and by divine grace only, Luther vigorously objected to the corrupt practice of selling indulgences. Acting on this belief, he wrote the “Disputation on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences,” also known as “The 95 Theses,” a list of questions and propositions for debate. Popular legend has it that on October 31, 1517 Luther defiantly nailed a copy of his 95 Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Castle church. The reality was probably not so dramatic; Luther more likely hung the document on the door of the church matter-of-factly to announce the ensuing academic discussion around it that he was organizing.

The 95 Theses, which would later become the foundation of the Protestant Reformation, were written in a remarkably humble and academic tone, questioning rather than accusing. The overall thrust of the document was nonetheless quite provocative. The first two of the theses contained Luther’s central idea, that God intended believers to seek repentance and that faith alone, and not deeds, would lead to salvation. The other 93 theses, a number of them directly criticizing the practice of indulgences, supported these first two.

Thank God for the Catholic Church for starting the Crusades.

Really?

Is that the kind of evangelism you support???

Killing and murdering people who don't follow your religion.



I have news for you... violence, murdering and torture does not convert people to your catholic church.

Jesus Christ preached a different gospel, not the one you are preaching on this forum.

You have a very real point there.

True. But then he went along with the Catholic teaching of baptism being necessary for salvation.
So are you saying it is not part of the acts of salvation? So basically Christ was just a wind bag concerning that? Why would there be a scriptural maxim from HIS very own mouth concerning it if it is not a necessary part of salvation? Christ= Saviour= salvation , so what part of His teachings are not essential for salvation?
John 3:5
5Jesus answered,, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
Sounds essential to any reasonably minded reader.
