    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    You wrote an entire book.....thousands of words I presume....about Einstein but you can't answer a simple question? Let's try again: When 65 Protestants agrees with The Church they are "collaborators"! What are they if they agree with YOU?

    Lord's Day

    Thanks Barney, I believe Scripture and Scripture says that the church is the pillar and foundation of truth.....it does not say that Barney Bright is the pillar and foundation of truth. So if I reject YOUR truth, please don't be upset. Are you a weed or a wheat? Is it possible you have...

    Thanks Ronald, Where is your evidence that some churches held the teaching of the Real Presence, but MOST did not? I have never read or heard that theory

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    That is true Ronald. Christianity was under enormous persecution in the first 3 century's of it's existence. However, the Church was in unity with its teaching on the important matters. As you have pointed out there were bishops (elders) appointed to each major metropolitan area. All those...

    Who or what entity enforced or spoke out for or practiced that "sound doctrine" from Scripture?

    2nd If The Catholic Church is not "the church established" by Christ then which church is?

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    Where does Scripture say that the "early church had no overseer of multiple churches"?

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    Thanks Ronald. Where in Scripture does it say that when Peter got to Rome there was at least one bishop? I can't find that in Scripture. What we today call a bishop is what is described in Scripture as an overseer or elder. What is the purpose of a bishop if not "higher in order than local...

    When to Leave Church

    Hello Christ4Me, WHO decides if a church needs correction in their teaching? Curious Mary

    OK. Who was the first Bishop of Rome then? 2 Thessalonians 2:15

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    The Church also teaches that the church is catholic (universal). It has taught that for at least 1,700 years. Have you ever read The Apostles Creed? It was written in 325AD. If The Catholic Church is not "the church established" by Christ then which church is?

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    You just made my point. Who defeated Arianism? THE CHURCH! So The Church WAS united in one faith....that is why Arianism FAILED!

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    Completely and utterly Not True. Christianity did NOT have a "lack of teaching in the second and third centuries due to churches having limited copies of the letters that became the bible." The FACT is some disregarded Revelations but accepted Clement of Rome as Scripture. Your "limited copies"...

    ONE of the teachings The Church held before Constantine and still does to this day is the Real Presence.

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    The discussion is about The Church. The Catholic Church OR The Methodist Church OR the Baptist Church. etc. This discussion is NOT about the Spirit that dwells in us..... Stay focused man....stay focused...

    Lord's Day

    In a sense you are right....we can choose what we THINK the truth is. But that does not make it THE Truth. You wrote an entire post on what you THINK the truth is....but that does not make it true. If you presented your dissertation from post #1 to an Apostle and you told them it was the...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    Well, once again you can't come up with a defense of how what you said was wrong (not logical). Do you ever get tired of being wrong? I'm not tired of pointing it out. Use the Facts and stop making things up....Scripture DOES NOT say The Church is IN a man....that is the silliest thing you have...

    Lol....your response has NOTHING to do with what criteria you use. Even an elementary age child can figure that out.... Mary

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    The teaching of The Catholic Church isn't "anti-Protestant". For you see the teaching of The Church came 1st AND THEN the multiple ever changing teachings of Protestantism came 2nd. So what came first CAN'T be anti-Protestantism since it was the original teaching which means that what came 2nd...

    R I G H T!! So YOU decide with your carnal mind if they have "Scriptural Knowledge" and YOU decide if they have applied it "applicably"!! F A S C I N A T I N G!
