Whatever agrees with their theology, they use.

Gregory the Great, late 6th early 7th century was bishop of rome and wrote a letter to Eusebius of Thessalonica regarding John of Constantinople because John wanted to use a name for himself 'universal bishop'. Gregory in his day called it a 'new and temerarious name of superstition..' If a...

The rcc simply usurped or amalgamated different beliefs into its system, mostly pagan. Relics was already a thing by the 2nd century, although not widely accepted, it was there. Guess what the rcc is steeped in today? Yep, relics. They have an unhealthy affinity for bones and dead people.

Not all. Catholicism didn't poke its ugly head up for hundreds of years post apostolic age. Just a lot of men with a lot of time to write ( no tv or internet). Some were heretics, some had a lot of good things to say. And others not so much. Then theres all the stuff no one knows who wrote it.

Catholics will cite absolutely anything if it agrees with them. I have quotes from catholics that cite early church fathers knowing that those quotes are spurious before they even post them. In others words they knowingly cite false documents just to prop up mother church. And i've seen them...

Ya you cited it earlier. It doesn't say what you think. Read the rest of what i posted..maybe a couple of times so it sinks in. Really? Show us the word 'scripture' you just said is there. Thats called eisegesis. Youre injecting into the text something that isn't there. Sure he is clear on the...

Prove it. Lets see a citation from the 382 council where it was 'declared'. I'll wait. Maybe you missed this, #29 Jerome most certainly rejected your apocrypha. Please post his work; book, chapter and verse where he referred to the apocrypha as 'sacred scripture'. Being in the Septuagint...

Amen! 1 Thess 2:4 4 but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men but God, who examines our hearts. NASB Gal 1:9-10 9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you...

If youre at the home page; carm.org on the left hand side it says 'discussion boards'. The next page under 'introduction' it says 'go to the discussion forums'. There you can find what you are interested in. Have fun. I post on both boards now. I like this one but have been on carm for over a...

Maybe you need to find another church? I once drove 45min each way. And one other time, quite some time ago i was attending a church that didn't hold to a pre trib rapture and i would spend time at church defending my stance. Church is where we go to be strengthened and built up, not argue with...

Its a catch 22 isn't it? We want Him to return and take us home, yet there is work to do and people to bring to Him. I'm selfish a lot in that i'm ready to go but know there are those out there ripe for the picking so to speak.

Exactly! For some it may be out of fear but it should be out of love and a desire to be with our savior. Phil 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we eagerly wait for a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul also says there is a crown for those that 'loved His appearing'... 2 Tim...

Ditto!

Lots of people included the apocrypha in their bibles but it doesn't mean they thought they were inspired. Luthers bible had the apocrypha but he never thought they were part of the canon. Another citation from Jerome he says that those books can be read but not for doctrine.

I'm new here so some threads are new to me. Lets resurrect an old thread. Haven't studied the canon much huh? The Hebrews combined books. Their 24 or in some cases 22 we separate into 39. Ya i've heard this before. Those councils were regional councils, not binding on the entire church. And as...

Its a hoax. All meant to stir the faithful. Ah, but the $$ is pretty good huh? Just like mary having two tombs one in Jerusalem and one in Ephesus per new advent catholic encyclopedia. There are tons of whacky catholic sayings, beliefs, traditions that i know you don't have to believe. But...

Those are all biblical doctrines. No problem with those at all.

Or the bleeding eucharist, mary on toast, the flying house of Loreto. Catholicism is full of this nonsense and many others.

As someone once said 'theology matters'. I think being born again one does not need to know all the in's and out's of the bible. That comes later but, the essential doctrines of the faith need to be adhered to or else Jesus died needlessly. Acts 4:12 there is salvation in no one else, no other...
