I've been in forums for some 20 years and I've never come across a non-Catholic that understands infallibility, which is based on many biblical indications. Next to that is Tradition, which is more biblically explicit.

You have to understand that in those days, once a woman was defiled, no man would have her as a wife. Also, it's not a 21 century culture, but thousands of years old. They didn't think the same as we do. Furthermore, it's a punishment on the rapist, not the victim who may otherwise be doomed to...

There are two types of predestination: to grace and to glory. Faith alone Protestants collapse the two into one, and it isn't biblical. Rom. 11:20-23 – in expounding on Jesus’ teaching in John 15, Paul teaches that the Jews (the natural branches) were broken off by lack of faith (v.20), but...

It's based on the clear words of Jesus. It doesn't make sense to receive the Eucharist without believing in Christ, does it? That's why the Church had councils, and still does. We have one set of doctrines. And we both have our share of idiots. The Pope simply approves what the whole Church...

Rejecting Him in no way describes any loss of salvation? Whether or not the Jews lost their salvation as a result of rejecting him is debatable, but it is not an argument for assurance either. "As the Bible says, I am already saved (Rom. 8:24, Eph. 2:5–8), but I’m also being saved (1 Cor. 1:18...

This is an important point. The term pistis is used in the Bible in a number of different senses, ranging from intellectual belief Romans 14:22 James 2:19, to assurance Acts 17:31, and even to trustworthiness or reliability (Romans 3:3), Titus 2:10. Of key importance is Galatians 5:6 which...

Since when have you ever "harmonized" anything that didn't add words that were never there?

Yea, I know that is what you are saying. Find a translation where Eph. 2-9 says "faith alone". It doesn't exist. Paul uses the word “alone” three times in Rom. 4:12,16,23, but never uses it with “faith.” Certainly, if he wanted to teach “faith alone,” he would have done so. If you can add words...

Another one of those "your daddy is uglier than my daddy" discussions.

THE PRIMACY OF PETER Matt. 10:2; Mark 1:36; 3:16; Luke 6:14-16; Acts 1:3; 2:37; 5:29 - these are some of many examples where Peter is mentioned first among the apostles. Matt. 14:28-29 - only Peter has the faith to walk on water. No other man in Scripture is said to have the faith to walk on...

Just to remind everyone, it wasn't a Catholic that started this thread.

TRANSLATION: I can't refute the strong biblical defense for Peter's primacy, so I'll throw in a mindless, emotional, meaningless blanket term called "false doctrines".

You need a proof text showing we have free will? Do you need a proof text when you have to go the the bathroom?

Heb. 11:6 - faith is indeed the minimum requirement without which we cannot please God. But this is just the beginning of the process leading toward justification. Faith alone does not justify a person. Justification is only achieved by faith and works. Also, this gratuitous gift of faith from...

In other words, you're wrong. A man is justified by works, and not by faith alone. James 2:24. That is not an opinion. In other words, you are adding "alone"" to where it never belonged, and continue to confuse works of the law ("ergon nomou" ) with good works. ( "ergois agathois.") They are...

Webers_Home is a full time Catholic basher, posting on several forums under different names. His constant polemics don't hold water. Sometimes he gives quotes, but grossly out of context. He has a psychotic hatred for the Catholic Church, he is the Jack Chick for his brand of Calvinism...

Oh sorry. I didn't mean to offend your iconoclastic gnostic sensibilities with a rather generic expression commemorating the martyrs in Syria that you call nonsense. Are you opposed to all art as idolatry and religious art has no place in a Christian forum? A creative art forum is out of the...

2 Sam. 22:2-3, 32, 47; 23:3; Psalm 18:2,31,46; 19:4; 28:1; 42:9; 62:2,6,7; 89:26; 94:22; 144:1-2 - in these verses, God is also called "rock." Hence, from these verses, non-Catholics often argue that God, and not Peter, is the rock that Jesus is referring to in Matt. 16:18. This argument not...

Jesus does the building, we are not saying otherwise.. He doesn't build junk that needs rebuilding by human opinion 15 centuries later. Several words in scripture can have more than one meaning, and you don't explain why Jesus changed Simon bar Jonah's name to ROCK, which isn't even a name at...

You have declared your own doctrine, which makes little sense since you have no community.
