    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Thanks Johann, As a disciple of Christ my intention here is to speak the Truth (John 8:31-32), expose lies (Ephesians 5:11) and defend The Church which is the pillar and foundation of Truth (1 Timothy 3:15). If "offering of Christ’s one sacrifice in the Mass (as) the highest form of worship"...

    Did you read the article? If so, what in the article did they get wrong? Would this be better? Why Ritual Is Important

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Well then, those "many others" would be wrong: “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I Am”—invoking and applying to himself the personal name of God—“I Am” (Ex. 3:14). His audience understood exactly what he was claiming about himself. “So they took up stones to throw at him; but...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Hey Jane, When you quote from The Watchtower website it reveals what men you are listening to (Jehovah's Witnesses). That religion was started in the 19th century. Why do you believe the writings of men that write in The Watchtower and not believe the writings of men that were students of...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Hi Jane, You stated: 8)*There was no liturgy or ritual in first century Christian gatherings. They met for prayer and worship, but imparting scriptural knowledge and peaching the message about God’s Kingdom was their primary mission. Thank you for your opinion but the Didache (and other...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Hello Jane, You stated: (7)* Confession was to be made to God, and no human was given authority to forgive sins on earth. John 20:23 and James 5:16 prove that what your men have taught you is wrong.

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Hi Jane, Scripture seems to suggest that what your men have taught you is wrong: 17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Hi Jane, I have accepted what the experts said. I am not an expert in ancient art or tombs etc. I only repeat what the experts said: This has led many scholars to argue that it is actually Christ depicted in the style of Sol, to portray Jesus as the Sun of Justice or the New Light (this is the...

    To be or not to be Catholic

    Hi Rockerduck, It appears that @Patrick1966, in post #33, listed some of the works that God tells us to do!! Mary

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Hey Jane, 1. Do you not believe that Jesus is God? If you believe that Jesus is God, then wouldn't that make Mary the mother of God? Any Catholic that puts Mary in the "goddess status" has violated the teachings of The Church. You Protestants accuse us of putting Mary into a goddess status...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Hi Jane, Yes, God commanded men to make images. And when men made those images commanded by God, they did not worship them, they only held them in high esteem. Since they did not worship those man-made images, they did not violate Exodus 20. Making of an image is not a violation of...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Hi Jane, Yup, there were problems with division/disagreements (1 Corinthians 11:18, 1 Corinthians 1:10, Council at Jerusalem etc) in Christianity while the Apostles were alive. That was the reason for some of the Apostolic letters that today we call Scripture! I agree with you that the...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Lol...It wasn't imported to Rome "to be set up in a holy place". It was an uninscribed rock that was imported to Rome to be set up in a garden or circus for secular a secular purpose. 1,500 years later it was turned into a Christian monument to Christ. You are getting upset over a lie that...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    Faith without works is dead. That means we are judged by BOTH...not one or the other. If you have faith but no works you are dead. If you have works but no faith in Him you are dead. If you have faith AND works....Halleluiah!

    To be or not to be Catholic

    Hello, So your opinion is that there are no work requirements. What do you make of James 2:17? Also, it seems that you are saying that the Holy Spirit guided you to the truth "on this Catholic sacrifice" but you intend to keep it to yourself. If you honestly believe that the Spirit is...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Hey Jane, Your men have lied to you: Pinchas E. Lapide, in his book, Three Popes and the Jews (New York: Hawthorn Books, Inc., 1967) critically examines Pope Pius XII. According to his research, the Catholic Church under Pius XII was instrumental in saving 860,000 Jews from Nazi death...

    Hey Jane, You should do better research. It was built in Egypt and moved from there to Rome in 37 AD. It was moved from its original spot, the gardens of Gaius Caligula, about 4 miles to the Vatican in 1586. It had no inscriptions on it when brought from Egypt.

    Hey Jane, I would love to teach you your Christian history! The obelisk was brought to Rome by Gaius Caligula in 37 AD. At the time it was the largest non-inscribed obelisk to leave Egypt. It was moved from it's original spot, about 4 miles, to the Vatican in 1586. The east and west...
