    WHY I COULD NEVER CHOOSE TO BE A PROTESTANT. (one stupid thread title is as good as another)

    Tyndale: "...Finding no support for his translation from his bishop, he left England and came to Worms, where he fell under the influence of Martin Luther. There in 1525 he produced a translation of the New Testament that was swarming with textual corruption. He willfully mistranslated entire...

    Emperor Constantine, The Father Of Roman Catholicism

    Of course I deny a meeting that never happened. It's one of your silly fabrications. The burial site of St. Peter? Did everyone in Rome forget that? I did sufficient research; you haven't got a leg to stand on. It's another stupid anti-Catholic fabrication without a shred of scholarly...

    Emperor Constantine, The Father Of Roman Catholicism

    For the last two years, I have been forwarded by many people a complete fabrication by a forum website that generally circulates BS and falsehood without any leg to stand on. The deceitful website says: “Sylvester,” was the name of the “Saint” and Roman Pope who reigned during the Council of...

    Emperor Constantine, The Father Of Roman Catholicism

    The lies keep multiplying. No council was ever led by any emperor. Constantine was present, but there is not a shred of evidence of his leading it. We should be able to find at least one reference to the Roman Emperor in the creed and canons of the Council, but in the Creed of Nicaea and in its...

    Emperor Constantine, The Father Of Roman Catholicism

    It’s almost unfathomable to me that in this day and age Fundamentalists still have not learned to verify the validity of their anti-Catholic arguments. But then again, with so many websites making claims like “Constantine founded the Catholic Church” living on in cyberspace, it’s no wonder some...

    Emperor Constantine, The Father Of Roman Catholicism

    How does that prove Constantine started the CC??? A church that goes from being persecuted to being protected DOES NOT PROVE A STATE CHURCH. It would not be until 392 A.D. when Emperor Theodosius removed government support from the old Roman pagan religions and established the Christian Faith...

    Emperor Constantine, The Father Of Roman Catholicism

    218 years before the Council of Nicaea Saint Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch, appointed by Saint Peter, wrote a letter to the Smyrnaeans in which he used the word ‘Catholic’ to denote the Church established by Jesus Christ: “Wheresoever the bishop shall appear, there let the people also be: as Jesus...

    Emperor Constantine, The Father Of Roman Catholicism

    Emperor Constantine, The Father Of Roman Catholicism. What a joke. This story, most famously told by Jehovah Witnesses and Fundamentalist Protestants, came out of their necessity to support their lie that there was an apostasy in the early Church. It is their way to explain how their reform and...

    Emperor Constantine, The Father Of Roman Catholicism

    You are the only one that calls Peter, Matthew, John, Andrew, Thomas, Paul, Simon, James early church fathers. They are not. Apostles are never called ECF. Ultimately, paganism did go down. Whoever started this thread I have on ignore. Of course not. Just look at the stupid thread title. The...

    WHY I COULD NEVER CHOOSE TO BE A PROTESTANT. (one stupid thread title is as good as another)

    What does Ecc 1:9-10 have to do with the Council of Constantinople where the Father, Son and Holy Spirit were formalized as equal? If you are going to have "Holy Spirit" in nearly every line you post, don't you think you should have an idea how the teaching developed? I know its in the Bible...

    WHY I COULD NEVER CHOOSE TO BE A PROTESTANT. (one stupid thread title is as good as another)

    But there is a problem, BofL. For radical Protestants, this is history, and history is their enemy. 21. Many Protestants take a dim view towards Christian history in general, esp. the years from 313 (Constantine's conversion) to 1517 (Luther's arrival). This ignorance and hostility to Catholic...

    WHY I COULD NEVER CHOOSE TO BE A PROTESTANT. (one stupid thread title is as good as another)

    Several evangelical scholars have noted that the problem with Protestant ecclesiology is that there is no Protestant ecclesiology. In many denominations—and especially in non-denominational churches—there is no hierarchy of churches responsible to a central head, no accountability beyond the...

    WHY I COULD NEVER CHOOSE TO BE A PROTESTANT. (one stupid thread title is as good as another)

    I understand you, I just disagree with your Montanism. In the 4th century, a heretical group known as the Pneumatomachi or Macedonians accepted the divinity of Christ (against Arianism) but denied the full divinity of the Holy Spirit. This belief was refuted by St. Basil the Great in his De...

    WHY I COULD NEVER CHOOSE TO BE A PROTESTANT. (one stupid thread title is as good as another)

    I didn't say that. You said: "I do believe that Jesus started a Church but the thing that is infallible is the Holy Spirit in a believer." That is not infallibility. It is a charism that Jesus gives to the Church to prevent the teaching of error, IT IS NOT GIVEN TO INDIVIDUAL BELIEVERS...

    WHY I COULD NEVER CHOOSE TO BE A PROTESTANT. (one stupid thread title is as good as another)

    That has nothing to do with infallibility. You are giving me a typical Protestant definition and it isn't biblical. That's fine and dandy but you have no names of people "who followed the Holy Spirit" at the beginning of Christianity. What you have is a theory. That's a nice quote but you...

    WHY I COULD NEVER CHOOSE TO BE A PROTESTANT. (one stupid thread title is as good as another)

    It's not true for you, but it's true for 1.1 billion others. It seems to me you skipped over my post. I can understand being ignorant of history, but willfully ignorant is another matter. Most Protestants don't want to know the awful truth of their ancestry, but blame everything on the CC with...

    WHY I COULD NEVER CHOOSE TO BE A PROTESTANT. (one stupid thread title is as good as another)

    Jesus founded an infallible church to teach us correctly about Jesus. If you don't believe Jesus founded an infallible Church, then you don't believe the Bible, just selective parts. That's an opinion. You forget about the great saints that God rose up in every century. Some with signs and...
