There is a difference between spirituality and religion. Spirituality is the whole life of a person lived in relationship with the transcendent. A person’s individual spirituality may or may not incorporate the rituals, practices, and beliefs of a particular religious group. However, for...

No, the ones who understand the heresy of Pelagianism. There are stupid Catholics that say our salvation is based solely on works because they don't understand, and stupid anti-Catholics who refuse to understand.

One reason anti-Catholics constantly harp about "works righteousness" or "works salvation" is because prominent authors like McCarthy, who know better, LIE ABOUT CATHOLIC TEACHING ON PURPOSE. "works righteousness" or "works salvation", or Pelagianism, was deemed a heresy 1000 years before the...

All the theologians, scripture scholars, bishops, saints and reformers were incapable of interpreting God's word....until.... ...John Nelson Darby came along. He broke off from the Plymouth Brethren over theological disputes. Founder of the Exclusive Brethren sect, Darby invented pre-tribulation...

Billy Graham was not talking about adulterated versions written by JW'S. Obviously, Billy Graham, being a Christian leader, is talking to Christians encouraging Bible reading. Your insult is on him, not me.

I like what Billy Graham said: "The best Bible version is the one you read."

I made a few edits to the original text from here. As usual, H.Richard is 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...

"Trinity" is a primary doctrine that developed starting from the Apostles, scripture, the Councils of Nicae (which you reject), Ephesus, (which you reject), Chalcedon (which you reject) and others (which you reject). These councils, during the first 5 centuries, were responses to heresies (which...

You won't accept reputable Protestant historians either. That's because you depend on false histories to support your man made system. Bible origin fantasies is a clear example of that. Claims that Peter was never in Rome doesn't disprove his office, anti-Catholics think it does. There are over...

Chapter and verse please. James 2:18 – to avoid the truth of the Catholic position that we are justified by both faith and works, you argue the justification that James is referring to in James 2 is “before men” and not “before God.” Scripture disproves your nonsense. James 2:14 – James asks...

Hate speech. You, like the media, pretend the sex abuse crisis is ongoing. They were acting out of sick perversion, not some "right" you dreamed up. 80% of cases were with homosexual teens, for the 100th time. Teens are not children. If you really cared about children, you would rail against...

James got nothing wrong. You are using two different words interchangeably. James 2:24 – compare the verse “a man is justified by works and not by faith alone” to Gal. 2:16 – “a man is not justified by works of the law,” and Rom. 3:20,28 – “no human being will be justified in His sight by...

Good points, BoL. Anti-Catholics define "church", as in Catholic CHURCH, as a corporation run by a bunch of old bishops, with no divine attributes. They say "church" only in the derogatory sense, while we use the term "church" in the biblical sense. The separation of the hierarchy from the laity...

Prayers to the dead was explained in my reply to you in post #144. IT IS NOT NECROMANCY. Nobody is saying yo must follow this (or any) Catholic distinctives, but if you are going to challenge or question them, then TRY to understand our (amateurish) answers. ***** Often there is confusion over...

The sex abuse card is also played by sadists to derail a thread, especially when preconceptions and myths get shattered, like the "works" myth. Then these sadists can hold on tight to their precious lies and falsehoods because that is their real religion.

Well, we get yet another sex scandal obsessed pervert sadistically attacking the Church because of a few sick members, most who are defrocked, dead or in jail. They keep pounding that drum, no matter how many times they are shown that the current rate of abuse in the Catholic Church is so low...

I suppose people like you were around when they tried to get the Apostles to abandon Peter because of Judas.

“If, therefore, those who were brought up in the ancient order of things have come to the possession of a new hope, no longer observing the Sabbath, but living in the observance of the Lord’s Day, on which also our life has sprung up again by Him and by His death–whom some deny, by which mystery...

7 Reasons to reject Sabbatarianism (Seventh Day Sabbath Keeping) (1) Keeping the Sabbath was a commandment given only to Israel, not to mankind in general... (2) The Ten Commandments are not the greatest commandments. Those who insist on making the Ten Commandments an eternal standard of...

"Remnant of God", gadar's sorce, is a site where anti-Catholics, like drug addicts, mainline their anti-Catholic polemics. They cater to religious junkies having the same effect that pornography has on the brain. There are millions of such sites. Those on a steady diet of this garbage are...
