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

    People who buy into your hate speech are generally uneducated funnymentalist morons. Did you complete gr. 5? I don't answer cluster bomb/shot gun tactics. It's evidence you don't want to discuss one thing at a time, you are only interested in stupid Catholic bashing. Nothing is harder to open...

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

    The truthful answer to Mary's question is an embarrassment to Protestantism, which is why you find her questions so annoying. The whole thing is a far more complex matter than Protestants usually comprehend, because they have been taught only one way of looking at things: sola Scriptura and...

    Built On The Wrong Apostle

    Where have I done that? What I deny are the stupid anti-Catholic falsehoods that is not supported by recent scholarship, Protestant, Catholic, or secular. Anything written before 1970 is unreliable but you guys often rely on outdated 18th century information, with anti-Catholics trying to...

    Built On The Wrong Apostle

    *** What you call scholarly evidence in the scriptures is your own private interpretation, it's not evidence at all. You also deny the facts of history by denying the witness of the Early Church Fathers. A witness is not scripture, we already know that. The scriptures are the written word of...

    There is no evidence. Aspen is employing a type of sarcasm called absurdum nauseum (a sick joke) Take him with a very large grain of salt.

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

    Maybe if you would stop with the straw man fallacies concerning Tradition you might learn something. Not likely. You are too much anti-authority rebel to learn anything beyond your deified opinions. I. THE APOSTOLIC TRADITION 75 "Christ the Lord, in whom the entire Revelation of the most...

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

    333333 I have been in MANY Protestant services: Brethren in Christ, Pentecostal, Baptist, store front non-denoms. They all lack depth and a sense of the sacred.

    The (so called) Real Presence

    Protestants view the Eucharist the same as Jews and Muslims view the incarnation, God couldn't or wouldn't or shouldn't become man.

    The (so called) Real Presence

    It means anyone with full knowledge and understanding of the Real Presence and turns their back on Jesus is taking a grave risk. See John 6:66. Hmm...where have I seen those numbers before?? There they were, standing in front of the greatest teacher the world has ever seen, and He failed to get...

    graven image?

    These are out of context quotes typically used by iconoclasts. It doesn't mean what you want it to mean. If it did, God would be violating His own commands with the images in the Temple and the bronze serpent. These quotes mean man made objects are not to be worshiped, they don't ban all images...

    The (so called) Real Presence

    Then explain how an invisible church can bind and loose. Oh, I forgot; you have your own definition of binding and loosing that has nothing to do with the original rabbinical term.

    The (so called) Real Presence

    John 6:55 – to clarify further, Jesus says “For My Flesh is food indeed, and My Blood is drink indeed.” This phrase can only be understood as being responsive to those who do not believe that Jesus’ flesh is food indeed, and His blood is drink indeed. Further, Jesus uses the word which is...

    The (so called) Real Presence

    It's not a true teaching to you because of the way you were brought up. There can be no Transubstantiation without a validly ordained priesthood, which was unbiblically abolished in the Protestant revolt. So you have had several generations of unbelief. The simplest way to express what Christ...

    The Last Pope?? says there is no Hell!! More Signs of the Last days!!

    "However, according to the Catholic News Agency, the Pope is claiming that the journalist is twisting Bergoglio’s words following a private meeting. The Vatican issued a statement to the news agency stating that the report ‘should not be considered an accurate depiction of Francis’ words, but...

    graven image?

    Paintings and carvings found in the catacombs are relevant to the topic. You're upset because there is nothing Protestant in the evidence of the 1st 3 centuries. I gave physical evidence of the Catholicity of the early church, I didn't bash your church with senseless ignorance and bigotry...

    Built On The Wrong Apostle

    I didn't say truth develops. I said doctrine develops, much like the Bible itself is a development, since it took 350 years to be realized. That's called development of doctrine. Nonsense. C. S. Lewis, the famous Anglican writer, once wrote: The very possibility of progress demands that there...

    Built On The Wrong Apostle

    What gives you the right to LIE about the inquisition and slander my faith with falsehoods? Yet you talk about breaking the law. Bearing false witness is breaking a commandment of God. But your invincible ignorance lets you off the hook. The Church does not have the authority to execute anyone...

    Built On The Wrong Apostle

    I didn't say you did. But false dichotomies (either/or) thinking is so common with Protestants, and not "both/and'. The authority of James and Peter is "both/and"; most of this thread is arguing for "either/or". The Council of Jerusalem is a model for future councils. How this is denied while...

    Built On The Wrong Apostle

    Jesus made it very clear, it didn't become unclear until the Protestant revolt. It went from bad to worse when 18th century Protestant modernists started influencing most of Protestantism Now just because Christ gives specific authority to Peter, doesn’t mean that Christ no longer has the...
