    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    And what qualifies others to believe that they're being 'inspired' by the Holy Spirit as to what goes into the bible and what's cast out? How many OTHER "bibles" have been "inspired" throughout history? At what point was there "inspiration" to say that there's ONLY 66 books...and not 72...or...

    Unbiblical? According to WHOSE Bible? *Ahem* Pot meet kettle... Hold on there, bucko.... One can recognize injustice when it's dished out without "embracing" anything. And that's what @Josho seems to be doing. Sorry @Dan Clarkston, but some of us Catholics have had enough of the whole...

    If Jesus himself was baptized...and people in Acts were baptized...and Jesus told the Apostles after his resurrection to "Go and baptize all nations..."...and that Paul was baptized right after his conversion...and in Ephesians 4:5, Paul says, "one Lord, one faith, one baptism"...and in 1 Peter...

    No, they talk about water AND the Cross as if they're BOTH something. But if the subject is about Baptism, then stick to the subject! And don't drag the Cross into the discussion as if discussing Baptism is somehow neglecting the Cross. And yes, they may talk about what their Church...

    You said, "The reason why REAL Christians are trying to help Catholics..." implying that Catholics aren't Christian. So? Catholics aren't telling non-Catholics that they're non-Christians, even if they ARE following false doctrine.

    Please go back to page 1, post # 2 of this thread which explicitly states: ***Do not state or imply that another member or group of members who have identified themselves as Christian are not Christians. Catholics identify as Christians. Show some respect.

    Who says we DON'T??????? We pray to (actually through) Mary, asking her to intercede for us, In Jesus' name IN ADDITION TO praying to the Father in Jesus' name. See above response. We do. Wow. Talk about being afraid to learn something that just might be to your benefit. Nope.

    And you don''t point YOUR finger???? Talk about hypocrisy! I DON"T love the bible. You and your Bible "cult". You, and others LIKE you make the Bible an IDOL!!! And you judge Catholics????? Again, Hypocrisy!!! I don't use my CATHOLIC bible as the "only" bible, either. The difference...

    At what point that I said that *my* opinion was the opinion of many? THIS is what you guys DO. I mentioned "some book" because YOU believe in the KJV as being "THE" book....and yet Catholics believe in the OTHER books that *you* don't believe in. The difference is that as a Catholic, I...

    You REALLY need to knock off this whole "cult of Mary" stuff. Actually DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Someone like you is like, "Church Fathers? Eh don't believe in them"... And yet Martin Luther......

    The Catholics opinion about the word of God is actually LIVING it. No, "They" didn't refer to it as "some book". *I* did. And I did so for a reason, but you're too ignorant to even ask WHY. Again, *you* think you have ALL the answers. You reeeeeeally need a history lesson....

    I KNOW. They try to change the subject or call you (or anyone else who questions them) out on some other "issue"... Instead of "proving" or providing "evidence". God NEVER intended His 'book' to be the final word on His involvement with him. It's so obvious that God can speak to us OUTSIDE...

    All in all, "friends", are y'all actually paying attention to Jesus words? And BEHAVING that way? How many of you are actually DOING what Jesus said? Instead, you're on a forum...arguing about some little verse in some book.... Did NOT Jesus say, "Love God and Love your neighbor"...and...

    No you don't..... Well...coming to think about it, you're right. YOU live by what Jesus said. The others here DON'T. They're so willing to defend what's written in their "Sola Scriptura" bible, even though Jesus NOR GOD ever said, "These 66 books are the beginning and the end...and I'll...

    Oh geez....take what you need and leave the rest!! Serioiusly...how in the WORLD do YOU know that Catholics are "adding" to God's Word? Protestants REMOVED books from the Bible. REMEMBER???

    One thing a lawyer does is to research ALL sides of an argument. Looking into the Bible...like a lawyer... is like looking into the Constitution of the US... While the Constitution is the HIGHEST law, it's not the ONLY law. And there's recognition that the USC doesn't address ALL aspects of...

    I have prayed THROUGH Mary numerous times in my life. AND, I have gotten answers to my prayers. Have prayed for others to be healed and they were... Do you mean to tell me that the healing of someone was "demonic"? That the answers to prayer to the saints....and Mary...that have been...
