Joseph was a tradesman, there is nothing in Scripture that says they were poor. Meek and humble of heart, yes, but not poor. We have established that Jesus is the Lamb; it would have been redundant to offer another lamb in that instance.

Catholics are free to disagree, we are not free to rebel.

I. The Three Collections of Ignatius’ Letters There were false letters claiming to be from St. Ignatius of Antioch (you can read them here, if you would like, but again: they’re spurious). These forgeries are themselves ancient, so Catholics and Orthodox for centuries believed that Ignatius of...

We know John wrote Revelation around 95 A.D, unless you assert he was dead when he wrote it. Consensus on the range is 70 - 110 AD is good enough for me but never be good enough for Lavrovites with deep seated authority issues. The 7 authentic Ignatian letters dispel the many myths of the early...

No, Jesus started YOUR problem with water AND spirit.

Hydrophobia (fear of water) is a symptom of rabies. In this case, it's spiritual rabies.

You are a slave to either/or thinking. It's both/and, not either/or. You seem to have trouble with the word "and". Here is a list of some 70+ translations of John3:5 that all have the word "and". Lavrovites simply refuse to be reasoned with. :jest:

Then the canon of the Bible, that is not listed in Scripture, is a red flag as well. For the second time, all of your posts is fixated on water, no mention of spirit. Yes, you can blame Catholics for canonizing the books of the Bible. We gladly take full responsibility for that.

In all your posts about baptism, you always leave out "spirit", fixated on water alone. Without spirit, baptism is meaningless. John 3:5 is quite clear on the matter.

:jest:

That would include the Catholic trick of the canon of Scripture, that is not listed in Scripture. Conjuring up Bible origin fantasies, refusing to admit how the Bible got here is blindness. You need to stop punishing yourself.

Sedevacantism The possibility of the active exercise of the authority principle exists, therefore, only when there is a pope in office. The impossibility of its exercise exists, in other words, only when the See of Peter is vacant, and it is just this that brings us to sedevacantism. The only...

"the marriage of altar and throne" is the language of Modernism, that Pius X condemned. Sedevacantism (from the Latin words sede vacante, or “empty chair”) is the theory that the See of Peter is vacant, and that this explains current problems in the papacy and the Church. The attraction of...

It is impossible to baptize without water. You are changing them meaning of baptism. Acts 10:47 “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.”

A third response is that we have evidence that the early Christians did in fact use the trinitarian formula. Consider, for example, Acts 19:1-5. Luke tells us that Paul passed through the upper country of Ephesus and found some believers there. Paul asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit...

No, baptism is the fulfilment of the purpose of circumcision, to enter into a covenant, a gift from God, not a Judaizing carry-over. The command to baptize is not a legalism nor is it a work of the flesh. It is an outward sign (water) of an inward grace (spirit). Water AND spirit is not a...

Checking to see if a claim is true is not that hard, just trace the claim to it's origins. Claims with little or no history are suspect, like "sola scriptura" and "sola fide". Tracing that doctrinal history stops at the 16th century, not the 1st. Many anti-Catholics don't even know the history...

Chronic liars as you described are not seeking the truth, as evidenced by their refusal to be corrected. Worse, they scourge my Lord with scripture. A Lavrovite is a propagandizing sadist who gets some kind of sick satisfaction by insulting Catholics, and a masochist who gets some kind of sick...
