Because you refuse to accept that Jesus spoke Aramaic, and was later translated into Greek. There are no constructive pronouns in the Aramaic. Jesus refereed to Peter in the Aramaic Cephas in John 1:42, and Paul used the Aramaic "Kepha" or "Cephas" (transliterated from the Aramaic to Greek) 6...

What's so wrong about Mary calling His foster-father, Joseph "father"? It's legitimate in Mosaic law.

But, after death, you have no way of reconciling His justice with His mercy, unless we arrive there perfect and holy and ready for heaven. That excludes most of us. Any kind of iniquity cannot co-exist with God. I thank God He has provided a means of final purification for the saved. The...

What Catholic bashers don't know is that their behavior is sinful, and they need to be told. If they are ignorant, they need to be instructed. If they refuse to be instructed, they should be ignored. sort of parallels Matthew 18:16-17 This applies to Protestant bashers as well, but there is not...

I'm sending a report to the mods recommending closure of this thread.

Your mutual hostilities are counter-productive to the intent of Catholics in a synergistic forum, which sends a wrong message to the readers. BoL has been around long enough to know the consequences of ad hominem attacks. You need to read his posts more carefully. Sure, he is aggressive, but we...

"TRANSLATION" keeps the meaning of a post and re-words it too show its futility. It's a form of sarcasm or absurdum nauseum. I use it myself sometimes. When my 4 boys were small they would fight and/or argue. It's disturbing for parents. All good Christian families never have arguments and are...

I quoted Hebrews 13:17 to make a point about obedience to leaders, you quote John 6:63 as if it was relevant, then accuse me of calling Jesus wrong. Can you say cognitive disassociation? This is a denial of the embarrassing predicament Protestantism finds itself, it's patched up with a new man...

Typical fundamentalist non-sequitur. Because we call our priests "father", they must be hypocrites. It doesn't follow. That's what a non-sequitur means. Matt. 23:9 – Jesus says, “call no man father.” But ScottA uses this verse in an attempt to prove that it is wrong for Catholics to call...

I am not talking about the flesh. I am talking about the unbiblical disdain you guys have for physical matter. Matter conveys grace all over the place in Scripture: baptism confers regeneration (Acts 2:38; 22:16; 1 Pet 3:21; cf. Mk 16:16; Rom 6:3-4; 1 Cor 6:11; Titus 3:5). Paul’s...

If you think you are one in doctrine, you are deluding yourself. I never said you couldn't. I said division was anathema in the NT. The Incarnation was the event in salvation history that raised matter to previously unknown heights. All created matter was “good” from the start (Gen 1:25), but...

The first of Jesus' miracles is to turn water into wine, just as the first miracle of Moses was to turn water into blood, so Jesus turns it into the blood of the grape as it is called in Genesis 49. Here we have, I believe, something that is fraught with all kinds of rich literary and...

I don't know how you can talk about being One in Christ while you demonize your own roots. Everything you believe that is true came from the Catholic Church. How do " nondenominationalists" , which has it's own distinct theology, and often boast that they are “separated from any denomination,”...

You are confusing infallibility (teaching without error) with impeccability (living without sinning). Infallibility comes from Jesus, not popes or councils. It's a gift from God, not a possession of the Church. There have always been crisis's and corruption of one kind or another in the Church...

I have a few theories. 1) We live in a culture that despises Christianity, especially Catholicism. A non-Catholic sociology professor wrote a book on this called: Anti-Catholicism, the Last Acceptable Prejudice. Reviews can be found in Amazon 2) The CC is the largest and oldest Church on the...

That's like going to a baseball game with no umpires. Worse, it's like going to a baseball game and all the players are umpires.

John is writing to his children, 1 John 1 HE IS TEACHING THEM because he is "the man of God". If the Holy Spirit teaches these individual believers directly, THEN THEY DON'T NEED JOHN! " John is writing to the whole church of the time, not individuals...which you have received from Him..." is...

That is not in the Bible. It doesn't mean we don't need teachers. It means the deposit of faith has been given to the Apostles, and by default, their successors. "let no man teach you" means let no man insert their opinions into divine revelation given by God to Jesus who has given HIS VERY OWN...
