Jesus Christ is the Word of God, and since the Church is the “fullness” of Christ (Eph 1:22), the Church is also the Word of God. And we know by now the “Church” is the Catholic Church. So the doctrines of the Catholic Church are the Word of God. The term, “the word of God”, is used many...

It would seem you don’t understand the doctrine of Papal Infallibility. A Pope does not need be Impeccable (faultless) in order to be Infallible. King David killed Uriah in order to take his wife, for which God punished him with terrible curses - yet David wrote the book of Psalms. David did...

Of all the dumb anti-Catholic arguments, this one must be the dumbest. Matt 23:9 says, “call no man your father on earth” - so I can’t call my biological father, my Father? In Acts 7:2, Stephen addresses the Jewish religious leaders as “Brethren and fathers”. Likewise, in Acts 22:1, Paul...

Mary is a mediator between us and the man, Christ Jesus.

What is the Word of God?

… an excellent example of the fallacy of the false alternative.

What do Jewish Scriptures have to do with my question? I asked you who decided on the canon of the NT, not the OT. But while you’re at it, please tell me who decided which Jewish writings should be included in the OT canon of the Christian Bible, and which Jewish writings should not be...

Y-A-W-N. It’s clear by now that you have no Scriptural evidence that the NT is “the word of God”, so if the Scriptures don’t say the NT is the “word of God”, how do you know the NT is “the word of God”? (As far as I know, the only place in the NT where the term “the word of God” is linked...

I would say we gain access to His grace when we accept the gift of faith or when we get baptized - whichever comes first.

But justification is not permanent, in the sense that it is conditional - justification can be lost, and along with it, any hope of salvation. Justification is doing something that shows God (a) that you love him (John 14:15), and (b) that you are worthy of salvation (Rev 3:4). Without faith...

Sorry, but that sounds like unscriptural nonsense to me - nowhere in the Bible does it say God’s grace conquers any sin. On the contrary, Romans 6 says, “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can one who died to sin still live in it? ...

That depends on what you mean by “God’s commandments”. Are we not commanded to have faith in Christ? And did I not quote James 2:24? … it says “a man is justified by works and not by faith alone” - ie, faith and works are necessary for salvation. Works alone are useless, and faith alone is...

I have no idea what you mean by that. But I do know that SALVATION IS CONDITIONAL. James 2:24 says "a man is justified by WORKS and NOT BY FAITH ALONE". By "works", James means keeping the many commandments described in the NT, which includes repentance. These are CONDITIONS FOR SALVATION -...

The words, “believe on him”, in the verse you quoted don’t simply refer to having faith in Christ - to “believe on him” also refers to obeying Christ (John 3:36), which entails keeping the many commandments described in the NT (which includes repentance). By keeping His commandments, we not...

I would say grace is a result of justification. We are initially justified by accepting the gift of faith, which results in grace. James 2:24 says we are justified by faith and works - no mention of being justified by grace. First of all, sanctification is a process that begins with baptism...

Which “perversion” of which Pope contradicts the Catholic doctrine of papal infallibility? How does the “perversion” of that Pope contradict the Catholic doctrine of papal infallibility?

The three possibly identities of the “woman” in Rev 12 - Israel, Mary, the Church - don’t apply to every verse of the passage. Each identity depends on which verse is read. Mary and her family had to flee to Egypt to escape Herod; they came back to Israel only after Herod died. Are you saying...

To save yourself further embarrassment, please take note of the following information, which comes from Sunday School 101: The term "new testament" is just an old-fashioned way of saying "new covenant" - ie, covenant = testament. If the term "new testament" is used in Scripture (eg, Heb...

I would try and laugh it off too. How embarrassing.

What? Faith turns us into robots that repent, don’t sin and keep the commandments? Says who? Are you saying you don’t sin? John 14:15 is about more than just believing - it is about love for Christ - “If you love me, you will keep my commandments”. Faith in Christ without love for Christ is...
