You are making a big mistake. The book ('The Two Babylons') was certainly fascinating but I recall being disturbed that almost none of Hislop's claims could really be substantiated by any reputable source, although it was certainly 'meat and drink' to the gullible. I did not entirely reject...

I think a majority of Christians cannot lose their salvation, provided the persevere to the end. The "assurance" we get is after death, and not before. There is no trace of OSAS being taught anywhere on the planet until John Calvin invented it.

Says who? Alexander Hyslop? Nobody "needs" such things. You completely miss the point. It has been demonstrated *repeatedly* that having such things is NOT idolatry. There is nothing Biblical about radical iconoclasm.

My goal on this site is to refute your man made traditions, and defend against myths, lies and fairy tales. Want an example of a fairy tale? "Just want to say they place the interpretation of scripture second to their Catechism and traditions."

How can I move from such a dynamic soul-winning church that I am in now into such a seemingly dead church seemingly full of untransformed people? Before I became Catholic, I asked myself the same question, because I'd heard all sorts of horror stories about how dead the Catholic Church was, and...

How Can Catholicism Be True When Catholics Are So Dead? Most of the Catholics I know don't take it seriously. They're worldly and secular and they don't seem to care about Jesus or the Gospel at all. G.K. Chesterton once said that the best argument against Christianity is Christians. That is...

Being an ex-Catholic turned anti-Catholic does not qualify you to invent myths, lies and fairy tales about what Catholics supposedly teach - Nothing is harder to open than a closed mind. You have gained solid empirical and first-hand anti-Catholic lies. "Just want to say they place the...

Not mine either. God doesn't make Christians fall, they do it themselves by not persevering to the end. OSAS denies perseverance. It's quite clear in more than one place in the Bible. Scroll up to post #3148 for a list of scriptures where Jesus teaches that we can lose our salvation.

Lev. 26:1 is not a total ban on all physical objects of a Christian nature. It deals exclusively with the worship of false gods. Alison does not worship her cross/crucifix, so it's not idolatry. Anyone who wears a cross/crucifix is done as a reminder, not an object of worship. If anyone is...

I started the thread; I read every word except the 14 barbarians I have on ignore. I look forward to discussing the scriptures in question at another time and place. This is not it. I apologize for the times I offended you when you didn't deserve it.

BoL Neither I nor the Catechism preach a "works" salvation. For YOU to say that we do is just another of our LIES . . . Salvation by works apart from the grace of Christ IS A HERESY. I am beginning to think the myth is in your blood stream. You have no assurance that every believer remains in...

I don't consider dismissing a small list of scriptures with no explanation an expression of love. That is the reason we can't have a civilized discussion.

They simplify it to 'works based', and drop it is a perfect example of stubborn ignorance. It's a chronic, repetitive, ongoing lie and it gets refuted almost every day which changes nothing. I have nothing to say to SDA's because intense anti-Catholicism is built into it's teachings; sourced in...

First Enoch asserted 2 so called false doctrines. He is an anti-Catholic and thinks he is an expert on Catholicism. So do you. BoL BRIEFLY came to the defense, proving a few scriptures. Then YOU jumped on the purgatory bandwagon trying to discredit BoL defense of Enoch's insult. I don't care if...

The pervasiveness of anti-Catholicism on the Internet reflects how deeply entrenched, obsessive and normative this prejudice is within contemporary culture. If the Internet is our most contemporary means of communication and information gathering, then anti-Catholicism is entering the new...

Wrong. Enoch brought it up in a typical accusatory tone, he derails threads when he doesn't like the content. The reformulators radically altered the justice of God, that's why you cannot accept purgatory. This is what I mean by derailing threads. It's about Catholic bashing thread titles. IT'S...

Rivera claimed to have been a Jesuit priest assigned by the Vatican to infiltrate and subvert Protestant churches, particularly Fundamentalist ones such as the Plymouth Brethren, Pentecostal, Baptist, and United Evangelical churches. He was so effective, he said, that he was secretly made a...

No one said you reject the scriptures. Everyone uses scriptures to support their own biases. We all do that, you included. But this generalized flaming zinger, with no qualifications, is unfair. In spite of BoL aggressive style, I have never seen him contradict 2000 years of consistent...

I've been quite open about it. I've explained the problem to the moderators, and posted it in two places. Sometimes one browser doesn't work.There is no intention of deception. I am not the only one in here with a double nic, but they won't admit it. I've never had a problem with your posts...

I have yet to see an anti-Catholic UNDERSTAND Purgatory and Indulgences. Your attack is based on a typical straw man fallacy. This thread is about anti-Catholic thread titles, not a soap box for you to preach MORE myths. Most of the posts in here by Catholics are DEFENSIVE, and you have made my...
