    What was hidden in the OT is revealed in the NT. It doesn't mean sever your roots, which Protestantism has done by abandoning the "shadows of things to come" before Christ. Here is the correct verse. Colossians 2:16 Therefore do not let anyone condemn you in matters of food and drink or of...

    If it were not for Tradition, you would have no Scripture. It was the infallible authority of the episcopate, which is a Tradition, that discerned the inspired books from the fake books. No Tradition, no Scripture. Any reputable Protestant historian would agree with me.

    Those are not robes of righteousness, they are vestments that have developed since ancient Israel. Pope Benedict was more flamboyant than other popes, and was entitled to his preferences. God commanded that scarlet yarn and wool be used in liturgical ceremonies (Lev. 14:4, 6, 49–52; Num. 19:6)...

    Sorry, I don't understand what post you are referring to. A number would help. Everybody needs a living, vital relationship with Jesus Christ. And everybody that does, has the Holy Spirit, manifested in varying degrees according to His purposes. But not everybody is commissioned to teach the...

    BoL: The official title of the Pope is "The servant of the servants of God." Scott A: And all who are saved shall wear the robes of righteousness. But you have not given robes to all, but to one. First, the "robes" are washed white in the blood of the Lamb. Second, it is God that gives out the...

    Before the canon of the Bible, the Christian Rule of Faith (TRADITION) included belief in the Apostolic succession through the Episcopate, the authority of Tradition itself, the authority of Scripture, the three fold ministry (bishop-priest-deacon), the Eucharist as Sacrifice, belief in...

    Salvation loss. Is it possible?

    00 Many Protestants (especially anti-Catholic ones) hold, by and large, the view that Scripture and sacred, apostolic tradition are somehow unalterably opposed to each other and, for all practical purposes, mutually exclusive. This is yet another example of a false dichotomy which Protestantism...

    You have been shown several times. This is long overdue. Good bye.

    Please explain explain how the Church of God taught scripture as the sole rule of faith from the beginning when there was no Bible as we know it for 4 centuries, and 95+% of the population couldn't read anyway.

    Until all the worlds' commentators and scholars agree on Jerusalem or Rome as Babylon, I will take the freedom to use these cities interchangeably. Jerusalem was occupied by pagan Romans, ruled by the Emperor who was in Rome. Either way, I'm right. So was Peter in 1 Peter 5:13 writing from Rome...

    BIBLE TRIVIA Luther's Protestant Bible came out 1520 and before his Bible the Catholic Bible had been translated into Spanish, Italian, Danish, French, Norwegian, Polish, Bohemian, Hungarian and English, there was exactly 104 editions in Latin; 38 editions in German language, 25 editions in...

    Pay attention to who Jesus is talking to. The Apostles. No "man" could teach them (Matthew 18:17) because the fullness of truth already existed. God>Jesus>Apostles>elders and successors. There is no room for "man" to butt in and teach something else. Having the Holy Spirit is not a license to...

    Could be both. I don't care which one it is. But go ahead and assert that the Catholic Church is the anti-Christ, or pagan Rome, or apostate Jerusalem or whatever toxic theories you may have poisoned your mind with. You will just embarrass yourself.

    Salvation loss. Is it possible?

    Jesus founded a church to teach us about salvation, there was no "book" as we know it for 4 centuries. He gave no instructions for any of His Apostles to write anything, except Rev. Do a search on "word of God" in any translation. It appears 180-200 times. Nowhere does it mean the written word...

    Knowingly or not, scholars operated for two centuries under an Enlightenment prejudice that assumes all progress to come from religious skeptics, and that whatever the church touches is backward, superstitious, even barbaric. Since the mid-20th century, this unscholarly prejudice has thankfully...

    Oh....once again, you mean the “false church” that has outlasted any other political or religious institution in history. A “false church” that promotes life from conception to natural death. A “false church” that respects all other religions and cultures. A “false church” that has among its...

    I'll re-phrase so you understand me: Your common tactic is when you get refuted, you wait a few days and then repeat the same nonsense. Revelation 14:8, Revelation 16:19, Revelation 17:5, Revelation 18:2,10,21, which show that "Babylon" meant (added **PAGAN**) Rome. Your "babble on" psychos...

    ...After distorting the text and history to read what they want into the Bible, and thereby obtaining God's "blessing" on their hatred of the Catholic Church, some "Christians" ignore the only texts of Scripture which tells us about the religious leanings of the Antichrist. In St. John's...

    Many Protestants have been poisoned by the venom of Dave Hunt, or influenced by him. Some anti-Catholics claim the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon of Revelation 17 and 18. Dave Hunt, in his 1994 book, A Woman Rides the Beast, presents nine arguments to try to prove this. His claims are...

    Catholics

    The Bible teaches that the Church is infallible and indefectable. They violated the very Bible they claimed was the sole rule. Your common tactic is when you get refuted, you wait a few days and then repeat the same nonsense. Revelation 14:8, Revelation 16:19, Revelation 17:5, Revelation...
