HERETOETGERNITY'S AND PHONEMMAN'S HOSTILITY TO OUR JEWISH ROOTS BY UNKNOWINGLY CALLING THE CELEBRATION OF CHRIST'S BIRTH AS "PAGAN" I generally don't hold profound ignorance against a person, but enough is enough. This issue needs to be addressed. Nobody knows for sure the exact day of...

There is no verse in the Bible that says scripture is the final authority. It's definitely authoritive, but not by itself. 2 Timothy 3: [12] Indeed all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, [13] while evil men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceivers...

Good point. If one cannot find rituals and structure in both Testaments, then one is illiterate. The second thing I would like to say is the OP is a rant, full of lies. " Inventing sacraments?" Really? Th CC is guilty of inventing the sacrament of Matrimony??? That's as far as I could stomach...

You can't reason with hate and bigotry. I have phoneman, and many others, on ignore for constantly posting slanderous unproven lies. I wonder what would happen if similar lies were posted against any other church. Phoneman takes one small phrase out of context. It's a Lenten meditation...

When Pope Benedict warned about “the Dictatorship of Relativism,” he meant it. Literally. This was hammered home not long ago when I was speaking to a group of students about the issue of same sex marriage. I prefaced the discussion with a description of relativism saying that this...

OK, you know that 666 is the Number of the Beast, but did you know that: 660 Approximate number of the Beast DCLXVI Roman numeral of the Beast 666.0000 Number of the High Precision Beast 0.666 Number of the Millibeast /666 Beast Common Denominator 1010011010 Binary of the Beast...

In St. John's letters (1 John 4, 2 John 1), he tells us that the spirit of the Antichrist denies the Incarnation (the Son of God becoming man) and thereby also the Trinity (the Father and the Spirit, too). THIS IS THE SPIRIT OF ANTI-CHRIST. There is not a single text in 2000 years, including...

Yup, and any "evidence" provided can only be sourced from religious con artists, capitalizing on fear and ignorance. Even in Protestant bible colleges, that hate propaganda is a dinosaur.

Then give me a verse that supports sola scriptura. There aren't any, yet it is a pillar of Protestantism. Better still, give me a verse that lists the biblical canon. The idea that every single belief, practice or devotion must be explicitly found in scripture to be trustworthy, is not in...

It's about bible twisting and fundamentalist brainwashing. 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...

All of the early Protestant founders accepted the truth of the perpetual virginity of Mary. How could this be, if it is (as its detractors tell us) merely “tradition” with no scriptural basis? Why was its supposed violation of Scripture not so obvious to them, as it is to the Protestants of the...

Liberalism comes from moral relativism, a serious problem.

Almost everything the anti-Catholic thinks about the CC is false. Since explanations are rejected, and objections are refuted, the recourse left is insults, misrepresentations, a denial of historical facts and red herrings (topic shifting) Worse, a denial of development of doctrine. There is...

The Bible is a Catholic book, compiled after 3 centuries of debate and prayerful discernment. Any encyclopedia will verify this as historical fact. The Papacy is not the anti-Christ, that's been part of reformist rhetoric since the Protestant revolt. It was invented to justify their break...

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 Fundamentalists, and an examination of them...

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. The Catholic faith being...

I answered this in post #601, 609, 614. You WANT the Church to consider you a lost heretic because that would justify your anti-Catholic fist shaking. That may explain your refusal or inability to comprehend what I said three times. I see no point in posting it 4 times. Everything that is...

The Winter Solstice was NOT a Roman Civil holiday until 274 AD. The Emperor Aurelian made December 25th a civil holiday because the Christians were already using it to celebrate the Birth of Jesus and he was trying to detract from the Christian celebration! None of the Sun Cults used December...

Zechariah was acting as high priest when the birth of St. John the baptizer was announced to him in the Holy of Holies in the Temple. That would have been on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement which falls in late September. St. John was conceived shortly thereafter during Sukkot, the Festival of...

There are two general philosophies translators use when they do their work: formal or complete equivalence and dynamic equivalence. Formal equivalence translations try to give as literal a translation of the original text as possible. Translators using this philosophy try to stick close to the...
