THERE ARE NO APOCRYPHA BOOKS IN THE CATHOLIC BIBLE, BUT SOME PROTESTANTS INSIST ON ERRONEOUSLY USING THE TERM INTERCHANGEABLY AS AN EXCUSE TO REJECT THE LEGITIMATE INSPIRED DEUTEROCANON THAT JESUS AND THE APOSTLES USED.. THAT'S WHAT HAS YOU CONFUSED. DEAL WITH POST #4 That's because you...

Deuterocanonical and Apocrypha are NOT the same. That is a Protestant invention. Get a dictionary. Hebrews, 2nd Peter, 2nd and 3rd John, James, Jude, and Revelation are not another canon, they are IN EFFECT Deuterocanonical, not exact and precise. "IN EFFECT" gives any word certain...

Kecharitomene is a passive participle, it's found in Luke 1:28. I thought I would freshen up the discussion with a totally irrelevant red herring. Don't forget 2 Peter 1:20 "mortal" in this context does not mean the soul is mortal, it means we have so many days here on earth. I thought you...

He made an attempt, but still didn't answer the question. Catholics agree with Protestants that Scripture is a "standard of truth"—even the preeminent one—but not in a sense that rules out the binding authority of authentic apostolic Tradition and the Church. The Bible doesn’t teach that...

I've listed them at least twice, you just keep ignoring them. You don't understand the difference between inspiration and canonization. Canonizing books does not make them inspired, they already were inspired. It means the inspired books were binding on all Christians. You are going in circles...

I am Catholic and I pray privately in tongues. I used to belong to a charismatic prayer group but that was many years ago. Having the gift of tongues is a gift, not a requirement. Most importantly, it is not a badge of holiness. I think there is some confusion over the definition of "born...

St. Augustine on the Eucharist A REFUTATION OF DAVID GOFORTH'S SHODDY SCHOLARSHIP "That Bread which you see on the altar, having been sanctified by the word of God IS THE BODY OF CHRIST. That chalice, or rather, what is in that chalice, having been sanctified by the word of God, IS THE BLOOD OF...

I never said the Passover alone provided propitiation for the sins of the whole world. It's the beginning of the one and same sacrifice. You can't deal with the fact that Jesus only drank 3 cups of the required 4 cups of wine. You can't harmonize this with the 4th cup Jesus drank from the cross...

Eph. 1:5 - Paul teaches that God “predestined” us in love to be His sons through Jesus Christ. "Predestination" means that God knows what we will do before we do it (it does not mean that God determines what we do; otherwise, we would have no freewill). Predestination is taken from the Greek...

It's too bad that an on line exorcism is impossible. I asked my priest and he couldn't stop laughing.

That is a non sequitur fallacy, and it won't work. Equating deuterocanon with apocrypha just means you are too prejudiced to accept proper terminology. NT deuterocanon just means NT books that were universally accepted as scripture in the 3rd century. I've already explained this twice...

No, I have repeatedly stated that the sola scriptura mindset makes it almost impossible to comprehend infallibility, and you are a perfect example of this. If the Bible is the sole rule of faith, that eliminates the authority of the Church that infallibly produced it, which is contradictory and...

SUMMARY: The Bible is inspired, and made binding on all Christians (canonization) by the Church protected by the Holy Spirit from teaching error . (infallibility) Otherwise, there would be no Bible. The process to canonize all the books of the Bible took 4 centuries. You are obfuscating...

No, soul sleep is eisegesis of the Greek text. That means Charles Taze Russell interpreted the Greek text (if he could read it at all) to force it to suit his opinions. It has no precedent and you haven't offered any, because none exists. How much Greek can a person have adequate knowledge of...

Eternal security is not in the Bible. "not one of them was lost" does not mean we cannot choose to reject his grace, or we would have no free will. We are saved if we persevere to the end of our lives. Eternal security was invented by John Calvin; it's unbiblical and highly problematic. Matt...

We know what the word “sacrifice” means. It means the surrender of something precious to the god in whom a person believes. Sacrifices have been part of world religions since the dawn of recorded history. Without exception, the deities of all the religions of the ancient world demanded...

Hi Mungo! I'm glad you're back! 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 a useful summary of those commonly used by...

The deuterocanon (ie. "second canon") is a set of seven books — Sirach, Tobit, Wisdom, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, and Baruch, as well as longer versions of Daniel and Esther — that are found in the Old Testament canon used by Catholics, but are not in the Old Testament canon used by Protestants...
