    Baptism ?

    Hello Mary, My $.02: What is hidden in the OT is revealed in the NT. The floodwaters in Genesis was cleansing the earth from evil, a foreshadow of baptismal waters. Pharaoh's army was destroyed with water after Moses parted the Red Sea, another foreshadow of baptismal waters. In both situations...

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    Each group, community, or area of Lutherans hold quarterly synods. This is where "changes" to Lutheranism takes place. But I know it's not "changes". I wouldn't denigrate the Lutheran Church the way you do. http://www.ctsfw.net/media/pdfs/MacKenzie-SearchUsableLuther.pdf LSQ Synod of Alberta |...

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    Strengthening Churches’ Commitment to the Poor and Vulnerable (LWI) – During an audience with Pope Francis at the Vatican earlier today, leaders from The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) expressed gratitude for the partnership with the Roman Catholic Church that makes it possible for churches to...

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    Wounds to unity 817 In fact, "in this one and only Church of God from its very beginnings there arose certain rifts, which the Apostle strongly censures as damnable. But in subsequent centuries much more serious dissensions appeared and large communities became separated from full communion...

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    The CC respects other Protestant denominational doctrines to keep to themselves. No. Again, non Catholic denominations have their own doctrines and the CC minds her own business. This is senseless gibberish. Each non-Catholic denomination has its own doctrines. All 40,000 of them. They don't...

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    "...It is authentic Catholic doctrine and it rests on the unchangeable truth of our revealed faith. But it needs to be explained, and the explanation is a classic example of what we call development of doctrine. By development of doctrine, we mean that some divinely revealed truth has become...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    Patristic Eucharistic Doctrine: Nine Protestant Scholars Dear friends, I have been challenged both as to the history of eucharistic doctrine prior to 1517. Therefore, I will cite no less than nine reputable Protestant scholarly sources to back up my contention that there was virtual unanimity...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    Christopher Rasperger’s work published in 1577, lists 200 Interpretations of the Words: "This is My Body". (within a mere 60 years after the Protestant revolt) Which 3 out of 200 are common western views??? Catechisms don't produce doctrines, they are elaborations of existing doctrines...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    No, that is not what it says. The CCC cannot be read with a sola scriptura mentality. Ignorant anti-Catholics will isolate one paragraph and ignore context with other related paragraphs, the footnotes with scripture and other documents are ignored, and the link to where the whole page is found...

    Baptism ?

    Col. 2:12 – in baptism, we literally die with Christ and are raised with Christ. It is a supernatural reality, not just a symbolic ritual. The Scriptures never refer to baptism as symbolic. Denial of baptism (just getting wet)denies our participation in Christ's death and resurrection. If you...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    The doctrine of "Alchemic Transubstantiation" was invented by the illustrious theology professor Dr. J. Idioto Ph.D. (Piled Higher and Deeper) in 2019, as found in his encyclical Taurus Excretum, on his web site www.iamanidiot.com

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    Post 15 is stupid and an abuse of the catechism. If the Catholic Church is not the sole interpreter of scripture ACCORDING TO CATHOLIC TEACHING, then the Lutheran Church has no right to be the sole interpreter for its catechism. Being the sole interpreter does not mean nobody else can interpret...

    THAT IS A LIE. THAT IS ANOTHER LIE. In Internet slang, a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the...

    Why God Allows Adversity

    Matt. 10:38 – Jesus said, “he who does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.” Jesus defines discipleship as one’s willingness to suffer with Him. Being a disciple of Jesus not only means having faith in Him, but offering our sufferings to the Father as He did. Matt. 16:24...

    Infant vs Adult Baptism !

    Luther (as well as some “high” Anglicans and Methodists) held to (infant) baptismal regeneration, Calvin to symbolic infant baptism. Then there is the position of Baptists and some others: adult “believers” symbolic baptism. Yet others believe in adult baptismal regeneration (e.g., Disciples...

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    Josiah pounds the drum of anti-Catholic lies, challenges the unchanging essential truths of Catholic teaching, we expose the falsehoods, and then he accuses us of parroting claims. Josiah will never support his falsehoods with an example of a change in essential truths. Cowards dream up straw...

    CATHOLIC BASHING THREAD TITLES

    You have to reject "development of doctrine" because you haven't a clue what it means. To reject development of doctrine means you are forced to reject the development of the canon of scripture. Given your silly notions of changed doctrine, you have to prove inspired scripture also changed. An...

    Communion - Lord's Supper - Eucharist

    "...With the introduction of Luther’s principle of individual interpretation of the Bible in the 16th century, called sola scriptura – “the Bible alone,” passages of Scripture were subjected to outlandish interpretations that bore little relationship to the sacred text and the Christian faith...
