I agree it's false because the OP misrepresents what the Church teaches. "Outside the Church there is no salvation" is one that is constantly misinterpreted by those who won't submit to the Magisterium of the Church. Faith does not depend upon our ability to reason to the truth but on our...

"As recorded in Scripture" makes scripture alone the sole rule of faith, which is nowhere found in scripture. The BIBLICAL and HISTORICAL rule of faith is Scripture, Tradition and Teaching Authority, all working in harmony and one is not over the other. To say we have scripture to begin with...

mjrhealth,"The great city" is symbolically called Sodom, a reference to Jerusalem, symbolically called "Sodom" in the Old Testament (cf. Is. 1:10; Ezek. 16:1–3, 46–56). We also know Jerusalem is the "the great city" of Revelation 11:8 because the verse says it was "where [the] Lord was...

You read somewhere? This is unsubstantiated hate speech. Forced conversions have been forbidden since the 3rd century before it was even possible, they never have been recognized by the the Church. Run along now and invent some new lie. The fact that so many popes have been martyred...

For the second time, provide historical scholarly evidence of all these murders. Stop stop denying the martyrdom of the first 40 popes. SANE people don't blame others for deaths that occurred 1000+ years ago. BIG NEWS: No Catholic today supports unjust executions, but you want to keep the stake...

Greg Burke, Director of the Holy See Press Office, has denied recent allegations of the Pope and Vatican’s treatment of the Catholic Church in China. Yesterday, Cardinal Joseph Zen, Emeritus of Hong Kong, at the end of a Facebook post yesterday, Jan. 29, 2018, wrote: “So, do I think that the...

More lies, and false assertions with no evidence. The Protestant Inquisition was worse than anything Catholics allegedly have done, and unlike you, I've well documented it; and not sourced from a history "expert" like Christian Gaviria (a software engineer) who has an axe to grind against the...

This is a lie. The Vatican does not sit on any of the 7 hills of Rome. One must cross the Tiber River to get to the 7 hills. This lie is a sure sign of a religious con artist, counting on ignorance and peoples inability to read maps. Again, The Vatican (which did not exist until 1928) is...

How did you escape the flames of purgatory? I thought you were banned! Oh, suspended, ok.

This is what happens when you throw pearls before swine, you get mockery. You have no explanation why some saints are incorrupt while others rot to dust. Neither do I. You have no explanation how there can be any incorrupt at all when the technology to preserve them for centuries did not exist...

Another instance of a mental block: the inability to tell the difference between venerate and worship. We have more unusual phenomenon that radical Protestants refuse to understand. Seek and you shall find... Mystics of the Church: Saints that are Incorruptible Top 10 Incorrupt Corpses -...

Why? Because you choose to remain blind to 2 Kings 13:21??? You are too much of a legalist to carry the principle? Is the man who rose by touching dead mans bones making a mockery of Jesus Christ? You mock the scriptures, and by extension, you mock Our Lord's body, which was a relic.

All doctrines develop over time. The Bible itself is a good example of development. Expecting the Church to look the same as it did 20 centuries ago isn't realistic, a living organism grows and expands yet the original truths remain. The Bible says Jesus founded a physical earthly Church with...

Paul was always subject to the Church, even though he got revelation directly from God. The Bible does not create a false dichotomy.

30. The lack of a definitive teaching authority in Protestant (as with the Catholic magisterium) makes many individual Protestants think that they have a direct line to God, notwithstanding all of Christian Tradition and the history of biblical exegesis (a “Bible, Holy Spirit and me” mentality)...

It's not "favored", and highly favored is a poor English translation of the Greek Kecharitomene, which michaelvpardo is arrogantly sidestepping. As usual, everything has to be spelled out in minute detail to satisfy the demands of hyper-literalist rationalists. Pay close attention, I've posted...

michaelvpardo, I'm curious to see what your private interpretation of "Kecharitomene" is, so I can see how it lines up with it's development over several centuries, including the beliefs of Luther, Calvin and Zwingl.

What a cop out answer. You miss the point (again). Where did I say the founders of Protestantism were God? Or anybody else? Where did I say they were MY authorities? THEY ARE ALL PROTESTANTS! Don't comment on links you haven't read. Since you disagree with all of them what are you left with...

I'm curious to see what your private interpretation of "Kecharitomene" is, so I can see how it lines up with it's development over several centuries, including the beliefs of Luther, Calvin and Zwingl. The Bible, Luther, & Calvin on Calling Mary “Blessed” John Calvin Believed in the Perpetual...
