This is a serious charge against me. Did Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. serve Jesus? Is there something wrong with the scriptures I gave you? You have the last line, I will not discuss the matter any further. If the media do not report on sexual misconduct, obviously no one will think badly of the...

A Protestant pastor who commits adultery corrupts himself, not the congregation, and not his office. He can still feed his flock, if nobody knows about it. It's no different with a sinful priest. But you don't pick on them, just Catholic priests. I don't defend priests in mortal sin, they should...

I don't deny that. What I deny is this refusal to accept the authority God gave to His Church. I have enough faith to believe God would preserve His church no matter what. The Bible says so. Protestantism is part of that Church, but that hasn't stopped the endless division that is built into it...

Jesus used every day things with analogies and metaphors to clarify His teachings. To claim that Jesus used the same reasoning as you, by twisting scripture to support a false presupposition, is dishonest and an insult to His parables. I don't read scripture with an axe. Anti-authority...

The "I never knew you" group talked to look good, but ignored the biblical Works of Mercy. none of this is possible without the grace of Christ! carry on.

For the fourth time, a priest in mortal sin can serve Christ, like the woman who dried His feet with her hair, if he repents. If he does not repent, he gets defrocked by the Church, after guilt is determined by the courts, not Newsweek or the National Enquirer. 99.997% of priests since the last...

Now you are inventing a new parable that Jesus never made to avoid the fact that you have no grounds to bind me or any one else to a particular belief. Individualism has done perhaps as much damage to the entire reformation as the unbiblical "sola scriptura" premise. "ME, the Bible, and the Holy...

I stand beside you with this post. Enoch's hatred for Catholicism borderlines the demonic, IMO.

That is an evasion (again) and not a reply to what I said. You are adding to scripture because nowhere does scripture say the other Apostles were envious. I have about 70 verses clearly indicating Peter as leader of the Church, and spokesman for all the Apostles. Was it you that used the term...

It is not a "yes or no" question, because it has a false presupposition. I am not trying to prove you wrong, I am trying to enlighten you, make you think for yourself. Polemics of regurgitated fundamentalist propaganda doesn't cut it with me. Should I post my questions a third time? I can...

It is by God's design to give us a Church with the authority to teach and baptise all nations. This mentality of, "me, the Bible and the Holy Spirit" as authoritive is an ideology that is not biblical, let alone impossible. It's a big problem for pseudo-schismatics who are still in the Church...

That is not what you simply said. You simply said, in so many words, according to what is revealed by "our Father who is in heaven" has been given to you directly by God. Therefore everybody else is wrong, especially the historic institutional Church, and you are not. You keep saying the spirit...

Myth 1: A person can buy his way out of hell with indulgences. Since indulgences remit only temporal penalties, they cannot remit the eternal penalty of hell. Once a person is in hell, no amount of indulgences will ever change that fact. The only way to avoid hell is by appealing to God’s...

Banning all money associated with indulgences is not an admission that indulgences were purchased. Now I have to paste the link you ignored (which I don't like to do) because it clarifies my point. Indulgences. The very word stirs up more misconceptions than perhaps any other teaching in...

I gave you a direct answer. You just can't or won't answer my questions. The Apostles were given Christ's authority to teach and baptize, they did not "supersede" Christ's authority. The earthly physical Church is Christ on earth. How many supporting scriptures would you like? Your question...

So you claim to be a man of God and Jesus physically appeared to you and ordained you apart from any institution to tell us what the Father has revealed. Sorry, Scott. Scripture does not hold to this. The Bible tells us who the "man of God" is. In all instances in the Bible, the "man of God"...

Matthew 18:17, "church" refers to those in authority. A congregation with individuals in authority leads to chaos. " And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the congregation. But if he refuses even to hear the congregation, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector." Sorry Scott...

Luther hated the abuses by a few bishops, and blamed it on the doctrine. Actually, the Church gave credit to Luther for bringing the abuses to light, and banned all money associated with indulgences at the Council of Trent. No one could ever "buy" an indulgence, that is another anti-Catholic...

Would you agree that God gives His very own authority to sinful human beings in Matthew 28? KJV 16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. The Eleven were given special...
