It's always wise to review the previous posts, instead of jumping in at the end with a wrecking ball. The iconoclastic aversion to anything physical regarding crosses, statues, paintings, stained glass windows etc. is not in the Bible, it's a false man made tradition. If you think these things...

The CC is the one true Church, and she also claims she is not the only church with truths. You would rather fight and argue otherwise. What do you want? Scripture citations for each sacrament? Scripture citations for salvation? No amount of scripture will heal your blind prejudice, no answer...

Evangelicals, Pope Meet to Further Religious Freedom Pope Francis on December 14, 2017, met with the leadership of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) to discuss ways to work together to promote religious freedom around the world. Bishop Efraim Tendero, WEA General Secretary and CEO, led the...

That applies to Catholics, not Protestants, especially not anti-Catholics scouring the catechism looking for weapons. Ratt Slick butchers the catechism in the same way. We follow Jesus on His teaching on baptism, which is a sacrament. We accept Matrimony as a sacrament. All 7 sacraments are...

Why don't you enlighten us as to which Catholic doctrines are not directly or indirectly related to scripture. I don't think you can find any. Customs, devotions and disciplines are not doctrines. The reformation is another topic, and it wasn't as peachy as you think. The good thing about it is...

There are other encyclicals on faith and justification. There is also lots in the catechism. Better still, there are more streamlined apologetic articles on faith and justification that are easier to read, and don't have 162 footnotes. The theme of Ut Unum Sint is ecumenism, which is based on...

I Kings 6:23-36; 7:27-39; 8:6-67 – Solomon’s temple contains statues of cherubim and images of cherubim, oxen and lions. God did not condemn these images that were used in worship. According to you, these man made artifacts, with spiritual meaning, makes God an idolatror. Your radical iconoclasm...

That's true. The bronze snake was made under God's command. It was a physical object. Hezekiah had it destroyed when people started worshiping it. It's really sad when people refuse to make the distinction between an object made under God's command and lumping every object in sight as an idol...

The Edict of Milan of 313 AD is not a false document. It is a CIVIL law, not a CHURCH law. It was proclaimed by the SECULAR government, not the CHURCH. Contrary to the psychotic babbling of anti-Catholics, especially the Baptist "Trail of Blood" there was no council in 313 AD. Most of the Edict...

It is the blood of Jesus that makes purification possible, is what I am saying. Purgatory came from the Jews. Martin Luther threw out the books containing the evidence because they contradicted his opinions. The doctrine developed in 1 Corinthians 3, and as all doctrines do, developed further...

Some of us need final purification after death. We don't deserve hell, and we are not yet fit for heaven, but we are guaranteed heaven after purification. God is not so cruel as to condemn those who are not perfect. Sins "covered up", "imputed righteousness", "forensic righteousness" were...

12. However, since God speaks in Sacred Scripture through men in human fashion, (6) the interpreter of Sacred Scripture, in order to see clearly what God wanted to communicate to us, should carefully investigate what meaning the sacred writers really intended, and what God wanted to manifest by...

No. Perseverance, clearly, emphatically, and repeatedly found in scripture, refutes OSAS, which is extrapolated from scripture because it's not in scripture. I wouldn't say that. When the reformulators invented Justification by Faith Alone, they had to come up with all sorts of scriptural...

Man made artifacts are not forbidden in the Bible. Worshiping them is. Only an idiot thinks ALL man made artifacts are forbidden, and a total moron thinks Christian jewelry is idolatry. God created the materials formed into a cross, yet Gen. 1:31 flies over your head like a Boeing 747.

It's always a good idea, when posting in any thread, to go over the previous 1 or 2 pages, to avoid making asinine comments.

The Edict of Milan had nothing to do with the beginning of the Church. Myths and lies of Constantine has been beaten to death on this board. ANTI-CATHOLIC MYTHS AND LIES: #1 EMPEROR CONSTANTINE FOUNDED THE CATHOLIC CHURCH | PagadianDiocese.org The emblem of the fish, ichthys, was...

Just because a reflection or observation that parallels scripture that does not have chapter and verse numbers attached to it, DOES NOT MEAN ITS WRONG! Where do you get this stuff? Where do you get this stuff? If 2 Timothy 3 proves the sole sufficiency of Scripture, then, by analogy, Ephesians...

"It was quite some time after that RCC was Instituted For Christ, and or Christianity! Big Difference!! " Some time after? Really? That is an opinion, not a fact. False origins of the CC are constantly asserted, and the facts of history get re-written. They are easily disproven. There are...

UT UNAM SINT (that they may be one) I thank the Lord that he has led us to make progress along the path of unity and communion between Christians, a path difficult but so full of joy. Interconfessional dialogues at the theological level have produced positive and tangible results: this...

Tau is the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet and was used symbolically in the Old Testament. It was already spoken of in the Book of Ezekiel: “The Lord said to him, ‘Go through the city, through Jerusalem, and put a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over the abominations…...
