Hi Marymog, It's possible to explain "ex Cathedra" in biblical terms that a sola scripturist would accept, but it is impossible to explain infallibility. That is because they stick to an invincible myth that blinds them from the true meaning of infallibility. The only definition they know is not...

So far so good. A **killer** proof for the Scriptural nature of Purgatory can be found by comparing Luke 16:19-31 with Luke 23:43. In Luke 16, Jesus speaks of the poor man Lazarus being taken up to the "Bosom of Abraham." However, despite what is commonly presumed, this cannot be Heaven, since...

The first part of the verse does not apply to those on earth. The first 3 verses clearly shows that it applies to the living after all have left this earth. 21 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had ceased to exist, and the sea existed no more. There are...

If they admit that at death a final cleansing of the consequences of sin is necessary, and not for the sin itself, their 500 year old argument collapses. They desperately cling to middle age abuses and corruptions that ceased to exist after the 16th century, that made the Protestant Revolt...

My "RCC cult" teaches me to respond to hate with love, patience and kindness. That puts burning coals on their heads. It's in Proverbs somewhere. That will be the day that I attain Christian perfection. Fat chance. But we have living models to emulate:

The British Journal of Psychiatry used "women" in their study that had nothing to do with their religions. I don't debate with arrogant, hateful, illiterate cultural war criminals, enemies of the human race. Good bye. Folks, do yourself a favor and put this pro-death fanatic on ignore. Shake...

Those judgements are not mine to make. Your premise collapses due to a faulty definition of good works. You probably do good works but are not aware of it. All the better. Since the Bible says the opposite you have invented a man made tradition. Eph. 2:8-9 – Paul teaches us that faith is the...

I once had the vinyl album signed by Keith. Lost in years of obscurity.

It’s normal to grieve a pregnancy loss, including the loss of a child by abortion. It can form a hole in one’s heart, a hole so deep that sometimes it seems nothing can fill the emptiness. Project Rachel - HopeAfterAbortion.org Project Rachael ministers to women who have had an abortion. "the...

The Second Vatican Council, in a passage which retains all its relevance today, forcefully condemned a number of crimes and attacks against human life. Thirty years later, taking up the words of the Council and with the same forcefulness I repeat that condemnation in the name of the whole...

Luke 1:41 (NET) 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. That's quite amazing for a clump of tissue.(fetus)

That's as dumb as saying an acorn lacks the potential to become a tree. ABORTION AS PAGAN SACRIFICE We know what the word “sacrifice” means. It means the surrender of something precious to the god in whom a person believes. Sacrifices have been part of world religions since the dawn of...

The "all sufficiency of Christ" does not exclude our cooperation. Our human earthly cooperation. Most commentaries don't deny this. To exclude our freely given cooperation (expressed as good works) from Christ's all sufficiency is a tradition of men. It morphed into the double predestination...

There is no such thing as "gospel of law". You use “ergon nomou” which means the Mosaic law or Torah and refers to the teachings (legal, moral) and works (ceremonial) interchangeably with “ergois agathois” which means "good works". They are different words with different meanings. You treat...

Nowhere does scripture give a systematic method of interpreting the Bible. That's the point Episkopos was trying to make. The "ME, the Bible and the Holy Spirit" mentality is individualism that seriously undermines Christian unity.

H. Richard said: ↑ They will not see that placing their faith in works will not save them and as Paul writes they are under a curse. Why???? Because they trample under foot the “completed” work of Jesus on the cross. Protestants are fond of saying that Catholics reject "the finished work of...

James 2:24 – compare the verse “a man is justified by works and not by faith alone” to Galatians 2:16 – “a man is not justified by works of the law,” and Romans 3:20,28 – “no human being will be justified in His sight by works of the law.” James 2:24 appears to be inconsistent with Galatians...

Many Calvinist anti-Catholics are unwilling or unable to understand the relationship of human free will to God’s grace. We believe we can cooperate with God’s grace in order to “merit.” Yet that very merit is itself completely an act of God’s grace. Here is some more relevant information to...

Christmas as a secular non-religious holiday, found in nearly every culture in the world.
