I have done that. First briefly (post #24), then with more detail (post#25). Obviously you are incapable of meaningful dialogue, by ignoring or denying everything I say, and making a big pharisaical deal over the word "earned". You are too argumentative for me to waste time on. Christ earned...

HOW TO READ THE CATECHISM Quite early on, the name catechesis was given to the totality of the Church's efforts to make disciples, to help men believe that Jesus is the Son of God so that believing they might have life in his name, and to educate and instruct them in this life, thus building...

@Nondenom40 Daniel B. Wallace Executive Director of CSNTM & Senior Research Professor of NT Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. The following are words from this Protestant Bible scholar: Several evangelical scholars have noted that the problem with Protestant ecclesiology is that there is...

I didn't say Jesus earned unmerited grace. His death on the cross is the source of unmerited grace. Please quote me accurately by using the quote feature. No such verse exists. You are presupposing a falsehood that Catholicism does not teach. It's a straw man fallacy. Misrepresenting the CCC...

Unmerited grace is a Catholic doctrine you borrowed from us. You are off topic. I am not going to debate your non-sequitur fallacies and gross misunderstandings. I opened this thread to serve as an oasis for Catholics who wish to get away from the fruitless argumentation (which Paul condemns)...

The character of God and His word DEFINES the validity of the Baptism of Desire and Baptism of Blood. I don't have anything wrong. Throwing up a wooden version of John 3:5 does not negate the truth, or Jesus would have baptised the Good Thief with water.

You are grossly misrepresenting Amores Laetitia because the Pope said no such thing. footnotes of Chapter 8. 350 inTernaTionaL TheoLoGicaL commission, In Search of a Universal Ethic: A New Look at Natural Law (2009), 59. 351 In certain cases, (not every case) this can include the help of the...

What is wooden is this chronic redefinition of terms like "doctrine" and "infallible". Using the same terms with entirely different meanings is what makes discussions like these so frustrating. In order for anything to be a doctrine, it must flow from what has been divinely revealed from Jesus...

That is IMPOSSIBLE according to the Bible. You and BofL are arguing over what you agree on. Baptism of desire, both/and the baptism of blood, does not negate John 3:5. Confusion comes from a misunderstanding of baptism: we die with Christ and rise with Him. The essence of water baptism exists in...

Myth 1: Confession shows Catholics don’t really believe Christ’s sacrifice was enough Truth: This objection usually comes from Protestants who wonder why a person needs any more forgiveness if they’ve already put their faith in Christ. Thus, they see Confession as something separate from and...

Col 3:14, And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

The Gospel of John starts with the words "In the beginning . . . ," which hearken back to Genesis 1:1: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." In the next four verses, John goes on to write of light, life, creation, and light shining in darkness – once again, images taken right...

The Institution of the Priesthood is followed by the Institution of the Eucharist. They happened at the same time and place. "Do this in memory of Me" is commanded in BOTH. The Eucharist is intended for believers. The Priesthood is intended for highly trained believers. The connection between...

Pope Francis: God forgets our sins after confession Vatican City, Sep 15, 2019 / 07:00 am (CNA).- Pope Francis said Sunday that God forgets sins absolved within the confessional. “How do you defeat evil? Accepting God's forgiveness … It happens every time we go to confession; there we receive...

2 Samuel 11:8-11 Uriah understood the metaphor quite readily when King David sent him to his own house, to his own wife, with the words "wash your feet." What David intended for Uriah to do was to embrace his wife in the marital way, and thus to sire a child (or rather, in this case, to cover...

True. False. We are now saints, that's true, we have the right to approach God's throne directly, that is also true. But according to scripture, that right does not exclude the need for the New Testament Priesthood, otherwise Jesus would not have instituted the ministerial priesthood..., He...
