    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Q: When did the term "Roman Catholic Church" come into being? A: It is not possible to give an exact year when the Catholic Church began to be called the "Roman Catholic Church," it is possible to approximate it. The term originates as an insult created by Anglicans who wished to refer to...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    The Trinity doctrine, which refutes anti-Protestants like you, is a banned topic which allows you to flood threads with your anti-Christian Hislopism.

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    Historical fact is not nonsense. Because it takes a lot of study and reading to understand the crusades and inquisition, and several pages to explain it, and an open mind to search for the truth. You have your own private definition of heresy. Briefly, the crusades were defensive wars, and all...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Ask someone today where Western Civilization originated, and he or she might say Greece or Rome. But what is the ultimate source of Western Civilization? Bestselling author and professor Thomas E. Woods, Jr. (NOT a Catholic) provides the long neglected answer: the Catholic Church. In the new...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Killing all the popes in the first 3 centuries didn't work, so satan changed his tactics. He attacked the papacy with corruption and that didn't work either. An anti-pope was never the real pope in the first place. Do you have a source for your 4 pope theory or did you just pull it our of your...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    The sola scriptura debate deserves its own thread. Why does your "sola scriptura" different from tens of thousands sola scripturists each teaching different doctrines? Matthew 18:17 If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won’t accept the...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Ritajanice said: No, the Pope has political authority as a head of state, the smallest country in the world. The Pope has authority only on matters of faith and morals and he doesn't impose his teachings on anybody. He can only propose truths to those who are disposed to receive it. Does that...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    The Pope has no authority apart from Christ and no authority as a man alone. He teaches that without God we can do nothing, if you bother to look. You are quoting from a Catholic book. That is your mythical premise, and proven false time and time again. The first recorded use of the term...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    But you are interested in bearing false witness, but you don't know any better. So does every Catholic. You're absolutely correct. The Pope has no power apart from the Church. In fact, he has less authority than Councils. If you won't be commenting further, I'll respect that and leave you alone.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    A paste job from GotQuestions.org that is moderately Calvinistic. I asked them so its by their own admission they are moderately Calvinist, whatever that means. I know what plagiarism means too. If you are exempt from posting your sources, then so am I...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    That means only true historic believers began in America after 1860, the rest are blasphemers, apostates and heretics. "Thank God for the Reformation" is a flaming zinger that promotes more division between Protestants and Catholics. Protestants are NOT daughters of the whore, a vicious lie in...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    Don't apostates have to know what they are repudiating? Lucky for them, invincible ignorance gets them off the hook. A valid baptism uses the trinitarian formula in a liturgical sense. The CC accepts most non-Catholic baptisms as valid; the anti-Catholic doesn't understand why. Converts to the...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    It's amazing. Anti-Catholics like covenantee claim authority of the Bible but reject the authority that gave it to us. IMO, for a "Christian" to reject the Council of Nicaea can't be a Christian. Too bad it's a banned topic.

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    No, you ignored the context I provided. No, you rejected the context I provided, that refutes your abuse of out-of-context snippets, and Isaiah 9:6 have nothing to do with the Pope. No Pope has ever claimed Isaiah's titles to himself, neither did Bellarmine attribute Isaiah 9:6 to the Pope. One...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    That is a lie, as I repeatedly explained with context that you arrogantly deny. But you don't quote Bellarmine saying that, you simply assert it with no evidence. Perhaps we should do a poll and see how many agree you are a liar.

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    I never claimed a difference, you did, and then demand I prove it. You make no sense. You lost the debate with a false claim that you identify the first 4 centuries of Christianity with "0" evidence, and martyrs were blasphemers. I don't have "handlers", another childish insult...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    Taking snippets out of context is unethical and dishonest. I already gave the context that you refuse to accept, so demanding I explain the difference just stupid. This statement makes no sense. Those executed under Valerian were faithful Catholics some 15 centuries before Bellarmine. Pagan...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    "Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, 'Take, eat; this is my body.' And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, 'Drink of it, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured...
