When you are prohibited from calling out false doctrine just because someone 'identifies' as a christian then this is a watering down of the faith. We are called to expose such teachings not embrace them. I do believe ive read that before, oh ya its my tagline...Eph 5:11

Youre missing the point of the story. The rich man thought he was keeping the commandments but Jesus shows him that he isn't. He couldn't part with his wealth and in so doing proved he didn't love God enough to put God first. It was his idol. So he was actually breaking the commandments not...

When it uses terms like expiate or as you quoted 1459 'make satisfaction for' then yes it is referring to atoning for sin. Your church uses these words then catholics don't like the definition. Not my problem. So when youre dead in purgatory how do you get that 1,000 back to the person you...

You can put lipstick on a pig, its still a pig. A person can identify as anything they choose but when its contrary to the gospel then it should be called out. Think of Paul and the church at galatia.

From your own ccc "1059 "The holy Roman Church firmly believes and confesses...." It doesn't even call itself catholic, but roman! Roman church, roman pontiff....You were saying?

The term roman occurs over 30 times in your own catechism. Maybe your leaders aren't as educated as you are?

I understand that there seems to be very little in the way of moderation here (people wouldn't get away with half the garbage on another site i frequent that i see here). But if the developers or moderators of a 'christianity' board think that roman catholic theology is even remotely biblical or...

ccc 1475 says you expiate your sin in purgatory. Expiation has to do with sacrifice. Its part of the definition of propitiation found in Romans 3:25. Jesus is our propitiation, not you. This is atonement, not simply 'purifying' yourself. Catholics need to brush up on their definitions. By this...

Where did i say anything about preferring comfort for the constructive doubt? I said i'd be happy to dialogue and like most good catholics ( i don't believe for a second youre evangelical from your responses ) But i certainly do have a standard for truth and its not me, or you. I see you...

You want our feelings over and against what the bible says? Isn't that kinda backwards? I'm not catholic but there isn't anything here about purgatory. Most if not all of your questions are answered in the bible. Purgatory is by its own definitoin (ccc 1475) atonement. You die in this life...

I disagree. Romans 1:16 says exactly that. The gospel is 'the power of God for salvation...' When we are saved our certificate of debt is nailed to the cross. The penalty of sin is gone, the power of sin is gone but not the presence of sin. That won't be gone until we leave this world.

I don't think youre being honest with yourself if you think you never sin. Paul even said he does what he doesn't want to do and doesn't do what he should; Romans 7. John says when we sin we have an advocate with the Father...Face it, sin is a part of this life. We sin, we confess. Only when we...

Because i'm still in this world and so is satan. And i fail God regularly. You?

In Heb 11 nowhere does it say 'obedience was a condition of their salvation'. By faith.....What the o.t. men and women of God did by faith was a proof of their faith, it didn't give them faith or salvation. This is the book of James all over again. You say youre a christian? Great, prove it...

If by catholic you mean universal, sure. If by catholic you mean roman, no.

You quoted me then said; "Soooo YOU decide what are "false" doctrines and dogmas?" Where did i even hint at that? If i see someone saying 2+2=5 and correct them am i automatically 'the one that decides what is true or false' regarding math? Or can i simply add and subtract and see a glaring...

Conversations with catholics might be more fruitful if the catholic would cease with the constant twisting of other peoples posts. If there is no other way for you to respond but shoe horn things into a persons post that they never said then we are done. Tired of all your games.

I don't believe you because its simply not true. Personal attacks are not allowed (as they seem to be here), even divisive or off topic posts are not allowed (which they seem to be here). Youre yapping about something that simply does not happen at carm. You were booted for the very kind of hate...

Not true in the least. People (not just catholics) are given infractions/suspended/banned for behavior, language i.e. not following the rules. There don't seem to be any here which is i'm sure why you are very comfortable blabbing your hate speech to every poster that disagrees with you. Matt's...

No one is booted from carm for preaching catholicism. Catholics there have free reign to cite the ccc, papal documents, ecfs, council's and on and on and on. I'm quite sure you were booted because you can't tame your tongue. They obviously let you spew your hatred here which is apparent...
