    Baptism question that seems unbiblical

    You cannot or will not answer the question. It alone refutes.your position. I am not asking you or anybody else to read a book, just 4 lines from a link provided, with the relevant 4 lines pasted. It's my experience with anti-Catholics they can't read more than 4 lines anyway. Here is the same...

    Baptism question that seems unbiblical

    I want a verbatim scripture that clearly and explicitly states that all doctrines, beliefs, and practices must be found in scripture to be valid. Good luck with that, you will need it. I keep giving you links on development of doctrine but you keep ignoring them. Hans Kung is a rebel, a...

    Baptism question that seems unbiblical

    The term "Romanist" is a deception in and of itself. If you want me to respond to you, call me "Catholic". Not "Roman Catholic", not "papist" nor any derogatory adjectives you have been accustomed to using over the past 5 centuries.

    Baptism question that seems unbiblical

    He, and other lame objectors, have been reminded of the same things repeatedly.

    Baptism question that seems unbiblical

    Because you misrepresent power. Authority is preferred over the word "'power", which implies a paranoid fundamentalist view of the papacy. Yet you refuse to use one word for both. Because it was illegal to be a Christian in the first 3 centuries. Concerning the 'Keys of the Kingdom' being...

    The great doctrinal apostasy

    Wrong. He was executed by secular authorities, not the Church. The Emperor and the Pope had different jurisdictions. If a 5 point Calvinist professor were to teach Arminianisn he would quickly be out of a job. Your insults are pathetic. Tyndale was tried and executed under the Roman Emperor...

    The great doctrinal apostasy

    William Tyndale- a great hero? So what was the real reason William Tyndale was condemned? Was translating the Bible into English illegal? The answer is no. The law that was passed in 1408 was in reaction to another infamous translator, John Wycliff. Wycliff had produced a translation of the...

    The great doctrinal apostasy

    This post is a lot of nonsense. Yes, there were false teachers, and we have their names, you don't. You are claiming that doctrinal purity did not exist until when? Paul's death to...1517? All the early Church Fathers were UNANIMOUS on their teaching on baptism and the Eucharist, and it's never...

    The great doctrinal apostasy

    Ultimately, it may be a waste of time arguing about statistics. Instead, ask Fundamentalists just what they think the existence of the Inquisition demonstrates. They would not bring it up in the first place unless they thought it proves something about the Catholic Church. And what is that...

    The great doctrinal apostasy

    Where did I say that? It is a serious error to think the Bible came to us without the aid of human beings. "Many others" are turned off by your lies, misrepresentations, false histories and exaggerations. That's profane. Your obsession with the middle ages doesn't prove what you want it to...

    The great doctrinal apostasy

    The bulk of Newman’s extraordinary work is devoted to the exposition of a series of analogies, showing conclusively that a static conception of the Church (both historically and theologically) is incoherent and false. He argues, for example, that notions of suffering, or “vague forms of the...

    The great doctrinal apostasy

    My comment: the only cancerous disease I see is a physical, organized Church, ran by men, that wants to put itself between God and man. It usurps the power of God (the Holy Spirit) on earth. They deny that the Holy Spirit is at work in the world to save all that will believe. They put their...

    The great doctrinal apostasy

    Truth is as natural to our minds as oxygen is to our lungs and food is to our digestive system. It is a great mistake to regard the teaching of truth as an imposition. The Church does not, nor can she, “impose” truth. (this is the exact opposite of Richard's hateful rantings) Rather, she...

    The great doctrinal apostasy

    That is a lie. See 817-820 and a straw man fallacy. Ignoring lies is a good idea. "...upon this ROCK I will build my temporary CHURCH..." You are a biblical clown. Your opinion of the Early Church Fathers is unqualified. Not everything the ECF wrote is incorporated into magisterial teaching...

    The great doctrinal apostasy

    And is any church and any teacher to be rejected who strays from God’s words, as Paul commands? That is the fundamental issue. Sure; this is why we reject any form of Protestantism, because all fail the test of allegiance to God’s Word in Holy Scripture, and the historical pedigree that the...

    The great doctrinal apostasy

    Yea, and it's religious like you that continue to persecute Catholics with false histories. In Defense of the Church: The Protestant Inquisition: "Reformation" Intolerance and Persecution by Dave Amstrong LIES. Where is your scholarly evidence? You have none. Just wannabee preacher/carnival...

    The Inquisitions

    What's so wrong with promotion of peacemaking? Would you prefer violence and bloodshed? Here is the context that anti-Catholics avoid: Vatican calls on Catholics and Buddhists to work together to promote nonviolence. And I don't even like NCR News. We are called to a common enterprise, it...
