    TRUTH

    Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus means: "outside the church there is no salvation"!!! Is that what this is all about?? Well, for goodness sake, why didn't you say so? Outside the Church, there is no salvation......do you believe that Buddhism will bring salvation? Do you believe that Hinduism will...

    TRUTH

    Really, Brother Rex. When I quoted the Catechism and bold the part that says "Salvation comes from God alone" that should have been sufficient enough to answer your question. If I had simply said, no....the next thing you would do accuse me of being ignorant of Catholic teaching. I am not...

    TRUTH

    I did answer. I even showed you the Catechism to PROVE it. You simply don't like the answer. You accuse us of teaching that salvation does not come from God, and when I showed you the catechism, it did not match with what you believe about us.....and that is what you didn't like.

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    The eyewitness are the Church that Christ built through the Apostles. The eyewitnesses continues on in the Church. It does not die with the Apostles. The ministry of Christ continues on in the Church. It does not die with the Apostles. Christ's Church did not die. With you, everything...

    TRUTH

    How you got this answer.....I don't know. The Catechism is clear when it stated that salvation comes from God alone. The Holy Bible is also clear when it stated that the Church is the pillar and foundation of truth. So, our teaching does not go against the Bible.

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    The strawman is on you. We already have historical documents and archaeological evidence showing that Peter was in Rome. Remember that we rely on more than just scripture. We also have the Apostolic Tradition. Because of the Apostolic Tradition, we already know that the Apostle Andrew went...

    TRUTH

    All our teachings are found in our Catechism. This is what the Catechism says. CCC 169 Salvation comes from God alone; but because we receive the life of faith through the Church, she is our mother: "We believe the Church as the mother of our new birth, and not in the Church as if she...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    . If you rely on the Scriptures so much, then why don't you pay attention to it. The Scriptures already stated that there are many things that were not recorded in the Bible (See John 21:25). Just because it's not recorded in the Bible does not mean that it is false. You say that St. Peter...

    The Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven

    Christ said in Aramaic, "You are Cephas and on this Cephas I will build my Church." There is a reason why Christ chose to change Peter's name. And it is not to diminish Peter. When God changes a person's name, it is because of a certain role that the person must now take. In this case, it...

    TRUTH

    Salvation comes only from God.....that has always been what we teach. It is even in our Catechism. Our role as a Church is to bring all peoples to Jesus Christ as we carry on His ministry.

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    Haven't you seen the Da Vinci Code? They're claiming that Christ was married to Mary Magdalene. We've always claimed that Christ was single. And now you have people thinking that Christ was married. That certainly is not coming from us. For 2000 years we've always taught that Christ was...

    Homosexuality

    As far as I know, the Church has been standing against same-sex marriage and even against adoption of children by homosexual couples. So, let's stick to the topic.

    Homosexuality

    According to the polls, it seems that the majority view homosexuality as a sin. Personally, I don't really care what people do behind the bedroom doors. That's their business. But when they start to force others to accept homosexuality as normal, then I see a problem.

    TRUTH

    Romans 1:7-8 to all the beloved of God in Rome, called to be holy. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. First I give thanks to my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is heralded throughout the world.

    The Holy Trinity

    Hello Butch5, First of all, I stated that there are three persons in one God. We believe in only One God. The Father is God. The Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. If you believe that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one God, then you and I are in agreement. , This is taken from...

    the Exodus mystery.

    The Old Testament foreshadows the New Testament. There are many parallels between the Old and the New Testaments. 1. Old Testament: Children were killed by Pharaoh as Moses escaped the massacre. New Testament: Children were killed by King Herod as Jesus escaped the massacre. 2...

    The Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven

    In Aramaic, a small stone is "Evna." Christ did not say to Peter, "You are Evna and on this Cephas I will build my Church." Peter's name is "Cephas".....which is the same as "Rock".

    TRUTH

    You are welcome Brother Neophyte. As Catholics, we should always stand true to our faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ despite the persecutions and the falsehoods thrown at us (John 15:20). Christ has promised never to abandon us and He has remained true to His Church. We have stood for...

    TRUTH

    That is true. Even if the Catholics are the smallest in number, we would still be the largest because all false religions will vanish just as it says in the Holy Bible. God will not break His promise to His Church. When He says that the gates of Hell will not prevail against her....then it...
