    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    The Bible is adamantly clear that we must cooperate with God’s grace. The idea that ALL we have to do is “believe” is condemned by Scripture. That is not “Faith”. James 2:19 tells us that even the DEMONS do that much. Faith is belief, surrender and cooperation. It’s not about “working” or...

    Who’s words are these?

    Nobody said the Holy Spirit is a man/male. However - He IS a distinct person. The Bible shows that the Holy Spirit as has a mind (1 Cor. 2:10-11), feelings (Eph. 4:30), and a will (1 Cor. 12:11),These are ALL characteristics of a person. As to your objection to the titles "God, the Son" and...

    AGAIN – Can show us WHERE the Bible teaches that the Bible is our SOLE Authority. It’s a simple question – just give me the Chapter and Verse. This is getting embarrassing. . .

    And it's high time that you show us WHERE the Bible teaches that the Bible is our SOLE Authority. Think you can DO that, sparky?

    ONE glaring proof against Sola Scriptura is the Canon of Scripture itself. There is NO instruction in the Bible as to which Books belong in it. That was declared by the Authoritative Church led by the Holy Spirit - just like Jesus said: John 16:12-15 “I have much more to tell you, but you...

    Then you’re accusing Jesus of being a LIAR when He said that the gates of Hell would NEVER prevail against His Church (Matt. 16:18). Good luck with that . . .

    And not ONE p them can offer a Scriptural defense for this un-Scriptural doctrine . . .

    The new Pope has been selected

    I see - sooooo, you have NO argument against my rock-solid and completely Biblical argument. Got it . . .

    And, I just gave you SEVERAL examples of Jesus performing ritualistic healings. Not only is Jesus NOT against using tangible means to convey the Father’s will – He did it HIMSELF. HUH?? It’s not about “shadows” and Old Covenant rituals. It’s about New Testament and New Covenant worship and...

    No – I live by what JESUS says . . . Matt. 18:17-18 If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector. Amen, I say to you, WHATEVER YOU BIND on earth shall be bound in heaven, and WHATEVER YOU...

    There is nothing “contradictory” about what Jesus taught. Jesus NEVER taught on Eternal Security (OSAS). When you read the Scriptures in their proper CONTEXT, you see that His promises come with caveats. The following are promises of salvation – that also carry a warning of damnation for...

    The New Testament had NOT yet been written during the life of Jesus. Although they taught that Scripture was Authoritative (2 Tim 3:16-17) - neither Jesus nor the Apostles EVER taught that Scripture was our SOLE Authority. Jesus gave His Church supreme earthly Authority (Matt. 16:18-19. Matt...

    I didn’t call anybody a name. I said, “People like YOU who cherry-pick the Scriptures …” You absolutely cheery-pick verses out of context.

    Soooo, I take it you boycott Baptisms, Weeding, Funerals, Graduations – things of that sort? Sacred rituals have been part of God’s people since the beginning – and Good looked with favor upon them. God understands – better than YOU – that we are a physical, tangible people who need physical...

    Can you show me where the BIBLE teaches that the Billie ALONE is our Authority. I didn't think so . . . MY Bible gives us another Authority along with Scripture - Christ's Church (Matt. 16:18-19, Matt. 18:15-18, Luke 10:16, John 16:12015, John 20:21-23). I'll wait righ here for your answer . . .

    Once again - you are ignoring the CONTEXT because it proved you wrong. Jesus said: You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. He talks about the “salt” Christians) –...

    It' doesn't contradict itself. People like YOU who cherry-pick the Scriptures pit one verse against another. You need to learn how to read them ALL ion their proper CONTEXT. WRONG. Verse 39 says, for those who fall back into sin, “… there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain...

    I see that you’re just regurgitating your usual manure instead of actually sticking to the subject. You strike me as a sad, angry little guy. Cheer up, son. Suggestion: Do your homework before posting idiotic attacks against Church. There are too many educated Catholics here to expose your...

    WOW – you’re even more clueless than I thought . . . For starters – we were talking about the CANON OF SCRIPTURE, YOU not only changed the subject – you didn’t quote my post because you pretty much LOST that argument . . . As for Jesus never having prayed the Rosary – HOW could He?? The...

    We don’t have “meetings”. We celebrate the holy sacrifice of the Mass.
