Matthew 6:2 "So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. All this...to be honored by others??? seriously???

Thank you for your thoughtful post. There are 1000 ways of expressing the same truth. What matters is that the essence of truth remains. There is a mechanism and protocol for Catholics to follow that isn't well known. We can object and report an idiot priest to the bishop. We can object and...

vows Galatians 4:26 Daughter of Zion is the personification of the city of Jerusalem. Zion was the name of the Jebusite citadel that later became the City of David. In the many texts of the Old Testament that speak of the Daughter of Zion, there is no real distinction to be made between a...

Phoneman's "true Christian church" started in 1860, by Ellen G. White. See my thread "Seventh Dilemma Adventism" Phoneman's false histories are written in stone. Seventh-day Adventism cannot change its views on the Catholic Church being the Whore of Babylon without admitting that it was wrong...

Who announces what with trumpets? Is it a sin for me to be proud of the fact that the Catholic Church is the largest charity in the world? Do you think the Pope orders memes to be made? Are Catholics supposed to keep their works a secret to appease the Christian Taliban? What is your deep down...

I don't have time to refute your childish lies. Your book was probably written by somebody with an axe to grind. If you are going to slander the Church with some book, have the decency to name the book and the author. Otherwise, you are the one with the propaganda. You can't read or you...

That's your opinion. Name vows in Numbers 30:6-15 that are not related to sexual abstinence. Verse number, please. Name the verse in Numbers 30:6-15 that has the concept of taking the name of the Lord God in vain. I don't need explicit proof text for Mary taking vows of perpetual virginity...

Protestant linguist W.E. Vine concurs that charis can mean “a state of grace, e.g., Rom. 5:2; 1 Pet. 5:12; 2 Pet. 3:18” (Vine, II, 170). One can construct a strong biblical argument from analogy, for Mary’s sinlessness. For St. Paul, grace (charis) is the antithesis and “conqueror” of sin...

[The RSVCE translates kecharitomene (“favored one” above) as “full of grace”] Catholics believe that this verse is an indication of the sinlessness of Mary – itself the kernel of the more developed doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. But that is not apparent at first glance (especially if...

THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY PROTESTANT SCHOLARS (Protestant in blue, Orthodox in green) Gordon Wakefield: Methodist “Mary is ever woman. The New Testament does not record her as divine. She stands with sinners beneath the cross as the representative not of the kingdom of God but of the Church on...

Of course there is no reference to sex anywhere in the Bible, sex is too bad and dirty to be referenced at all.:rolleyes: Jay, Numbers 30 as I quoted is about sexual abstinence, not sex. It may be hard for you to accept that vows of perpetual virginity did in fact occur in the ancient world...

Mission is a prerequisite to unity, Pope says in Geneva Vatican City, Jun 21, 2018 / 08:29 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Speaking to ecumenical leaders Thursday, Pope Francis said Christian unity in many ways depends on a willingness to go out of oneself to meet the needs of others, and called for a...

You explicitly referred to Christ's dead body as "a dead unresurrected carcass" which is disrespectful, and nothing to do with symbols. Any good work, in order to qualify as "good", is done by the grace of Christ. Why is this such a difficult concept for so many Protestants to comprehend...

Why are you compelled to persecute Catholicism with this juvenile nonsense? Is post #163 too much text, so you scrolled past it? Or is it too heavy for your reading level? Begging for another spanking, Rollo? Anti-Catholics are not just misinformed, they are mentally ill, IMO.

Being a pro-homo agenda priest is not the same as a homo-friendly priest. All Catholic churches are homo-friendly...we don't shoot our wounded. That does not mean homo-endorsement. I suppose it's possible to find a priest who is pro-homo agenda, but there are limits as to how far they can...

The purpose of Catholicism is to make God look good. Your rebellion against the historic Church has more to do with mal-development and pain than it does with doctrine or theology. I know. I was abused too.

CARM is the worst I've seen. It's a snake pit. I have an account there but stopped going over a year ago. I have a thread exposing Matt Slick's lies, but it got locked. Go figure...

I hope you are not implying that a crucifix is divisive. If an ecumenical prayer service is hosted in a Catholic Church, do you think we should cover up the crucifix with a sheet? That in itself would be false ecumenism. Working together for the common good doesn't compromise anything, and it...

I went to a Jesus Festival in Pennsylvania in the early '70's. I can't remember the year, I was struggling at the time. I saw Keith Green and Larry Norman live, bought their albums and had them each signed. Keith would make the piano shake. Never lend an album to a Christian, you will never...

That's because the report system doesn't work. When you have all the buttons, there is no accountability. My thread, "Unwritten Amendments to the Denomination Rule" got deleted. And I got a rule violation notice. I think we have a responsibility to voice our concerns and opinions when the...
