Yes, the apostles and elders, a.k.a the magisterium. He wrote to the Galatians who were in Galatia. If you want to be picky about it, Luke wrote Acts, not Paul. Scripture is silent on where Paul was when he wrote to the Galatians, and it's not important. He was probably travelling. A good...

Apostolic Succession as Seen in the Jerusalem Council Here is a compelling biblical argument for an infallible Church, and against sola Scriptura. The standard Catholic apologetics argument from the Bible for apostolic succession is the selection of Matthias to succeed Judas (Acts 1:16-26)...

Who is they? Paul is in Galatia in Gal. 2:2, not Jerusalem. The council was not held in Galatia where Paul visited the Apostles. Your time line is muddled. Paul didn't need special invitation to attend the council, he was an apostle commissioned directly by God, remember? Peter was in charge...

We know what the word “sacrifice” means. It means the surrender of something precious to the god in whom a person believes. Sacrifices have been part of world religions since the dawn of recorded history. Without exception, the deities of all the religions of the ancient world demanded...

There is nothing hypothetical about killing babies. It's wrong. Period.

115. Sola Scriptura literally couldn't have been true, practically speaking, for most Christians throughout history, since the movable-type printing press only appeared in the mid-15th century. Preaching and oral Tradition, along with things like devotional practices, Christian holidays, church...

I've never denied it. You never read long posts because you are accustomed to carnival barkers and sound bytes. Catholicism requires THINKING. I post the source of my long posts, unlike many who don't. The whole purpose of me posting 150 reasons why I am a Catholic is to counter the stupid...

I really don't care. If phony man can post a list of hate and lies, then I see no reason why I can't post a list of good apologetic material. Nancy may have never seen such material before. I will post all 150. 71. Evangelicalism's over-emphasis on the "imminent end" of the age has often led...

Another cowardly zinger from the peanut gallery.

Wrong. Paul had to check with Peter, James and John to make sure his (Paul's) gospel was true, him being happy to go had nothing to do with the purpose of his visit. Galatians 2:2 "...I wanted to be sure I was not running and had not been running my race in vain." And how was Paul to be sure...

61. The founders of Protestantism denied, and Calvinists today deny, the reality of human free will (Luther's favorite book was his Bondage of the Will). This is both contrary to the constant premise of the Bible, Christian Tradition, and common sense. 62. Classical Protestantism had a...

51. Protestantism denies the indissolubility of sacramental marriage and allows divorce, contrary to Christian Tradition and the Bible (Gen 2:24; Mal 2:14-16; Mt 5:32; Mat 19:6, Mat 19:9; Mk 10:11-12; Lk 16:18; Rom 7:2-3; 1 Cor 7:10-14; 1 Cor 7:39). 52. Protestantism doesn't believe procreation...

31. Evangelicalism's "techniques" of evangelism are often contrived and manipulative, certainly not directly derived from the text of the Bible. Some even resemble brainwashing to a degree. 32. The gospel preached by many evangelical Protestant evangelists and pastors is a truncated and...

You should know as well as I do there is more "Bible" read aloud in a single Mass than a month of Protestant services. I've been in all kinds of Protestant services and there is rarely any order to the scripture readings, so forgive me if I find your testimony full of holes. A one sentence...

Truth doesn't depend on who writes it. Truth stands on its own merits or it's not truth.

You have no coherent view of history, so you are forced to accept inventions. If you were properly catechized, you would have no quilt. Rejecting Jesus in the Eucharist is not freedom, you simply bought into Protestantism. Being Catholic by inertia or ethnicity is not really being Catholic...

Whenever the anti-Catholic is at a loss, they just resort to flaming zingers. They don't know when to shut up. Your flaming zinger is based on ignorance and blind prejudice. You have been told many times that both Bread and Wine is offered to all, but you are just desperate to offend. You are a...

No evidence. Again, no evidence. This is typical 7th Day Adventist hate propaganda. No context for each of his phony man charges as a coward wouldn't give any. I'll discuss any ONE item of your rant. But like I said, you are too much of a coward to face up to your lies. You are not...

That's right. The Apostles had the audacity to shift the primary day of worship from Saturday to Sunday, because Jesus had the audacity to rise from the dead on Sunday. THE NERVE OF HIM!!!
