I apologize. There are so many falsehoods expressed on this site it's hard to keep up with who is who.

2 Kings 13:21 in case you missed it.

Mark 15:43; John 19:38 – Joseph of Arimathea sought Christ’s dead body instead of leaving it with the Romans. Joseph gave veneration to our Lord’s body. Mark 16:1; Luke 24:1 – the women came to further anoint Christ’s body even though it had been sealed in the tomb. John 19:39 – Nicodemus...

Have the courage to come out and say it. You blame the hardships of the Jews on the Catholic Church. Your revisionism stinks.

It is incorrect to regard St. Paul as some kind of spiritual “lone ranger,” on his own with no particular ecclesiastical allegiance, since he was commissioned by Jesus Himself as an Apostle. In his very conversion experience, Jesus informed Paul that he would be told what to do (Acts 9:6...

Are you quoting Martin Luther?

Anthropomorphic are human like adjectives used to describe certain attributes of God because human language cannot adequately describe God. It's a problem for hyper-literalists who can't read scripture. "bird", "nostrils", "wings" and many others are not parables, they are a literary device...

You are spiritualizing that which is physical and spiritual. Sacraments are not magic. There are seven sacraments of the Catholic Church, which according to Catholic theology, were instituted by Jesus and entrusted to the Church. Sacraments are visible rites seen as signs and efficacious...

John 3:6 – Jesus often used the comparison of “spirit versus flesh” to teach about the necessity of possessing supernatural faith versus a natural understanding. In Mark 14:38 Jesus also uses the “spirit/flesh” comparison. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. We must go beyond the...

Why can't it be both? That's not all he says: In his Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Ignatius addresses the issue of those who do not believe as the Church does: Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are...

The point is the pagan Romans MISTAKENLY BELIEVED the early Christians were cannibals, which is plenty of proof the early Christians believed in the Real Presence. Can you proof text where the Bible says everything must be proof text? John 6:35,41,48,51 – Jesus says four times “I AM the bread...

Scripture says Mary was without sin in Luke 1:28, it requires hermenuetics to unpack. Scripture also forshadows Mary's sinlessness as the Ark of the New Covenant, but you don't have development of doctrine so these terms are foreign to you. Until you let go of your prejudice, you'll never get it.

Rom. 3:23 – Some Protestants use this verse “all have sinned” in an attempt to prove that Mary was also with sin. But “all have sinned ” only means that all are subject to original sin. Mary was spared from original sin by God, not herself. The popular analogy is God let us fall in the mud...

Luke 1:28.We haven't changed what the angel meant, and we don't ignore it either.

....... The pagan Romans wrongly misunderstood the eating of Christ's body and blood as eating people, which is cannibalism. The error on the part of the pagan Romans shows the early Church took transubstantiation seriously. Jesus said it FOUR times. The Catholic position is not derived from...

Jesus was not born free of sin, He was incarnated. Mary was not incarnated, she was conceived by regular parents, so your dichotomy between Jesus and Mary is false. Adam and Eve were created without sin, satan was created without sin, so why is the mother of Jesus (conceived without sin by the...

Mary never had sins that needed washing away in the first place. She was CONCEIVED without sin or the angel Gabriel lied. I get it from Protestant scholars and lingualists that you ignore. Protestants are hostile to the notions of Mary’s freedom from actual sin and her Immaculate Conception (in...

A classic non sequitur. Everyone in purgatory is saved, a truth you deny, or can't understand. The notions of suffering, or “vague forms of the doctrine of Purgatory,” were universally accepted, by and large, in the first four centuries of the Church, whereas, the same cannot be said for the...

Sometimes I make stupid posts too.

I suggest you take a long vacation in North Korea, a much purer form of Putin-ism. Are you trying to bury post #44?
