How can Extra ecclesiam nulla salus be a lie when you refuse to read the link What No Salvation Outside the Church Means? Or does it shatter your misconceptions that badly you can only retort with meaningless one liners? One of the most misunderstood teachings of the Catholic Church is this...

You listed about 8 different topics, which proves you are not interested in any explanations. It's called the shot gun tactic, or cluster bombing, a tactic made to keep Catholics running in circles. You had no reply to my post #601 so you throw a temper tantrum instead. I'll discuss anything...

That's nice. The problem is that nowhere in the Bible does it say it is the only authority of God on earth. Bible alone theology was invented by Martin Luther. It is an illogical, unworkable, unbiblical false tradition of men. I don't know that comes from. "Vicar" means ambassador or servant...

This is what I said: "The Protestants attempt to defend their rejection of the deuterocanonicals on the ground that the early Jews rejected them. However, the Jewish councils that rejected them (e.g., School of Javneh (also called “Jamnia” in 90 - 100 A.D.) were the same councils that rejected...

http://www.justforcatholics.org/a109.htm this anti-Catholic site is loaded with misrepresentations and lies. Anti-Catholics will read it and think they have something over knowledgeable Catholics. They don't. Refuting it gets tiresome after 20 years...

Acts 17:11-12 - Also, the Bereans, being more "noble" or "fair minded," meant that they were more reasonable and less violent than the Thessalonians in Acts. 17:5-9. Their greater fairmindedness was not because of their use of Scripture, which Paul directed his listeners to do as was his custom...

Wounds to unity 817 In fact, "in this one and only Church of God from its very beginnings there arose certain rifts, which the Apostle strongly censures as damnable. But in subsequent centuries much more serious dissensions appeared and large communities became separated from full communion with...

I like that baby picture too. 1803 "Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."62 A virtue is an habitual and firm...

Infallibility has to do with teaching without error. But all infallible statements are derived either directly or indirectly from scripture. It is a gift from God to the Church that prevents her from teaching error. It's from God Himself, not from popes or councils. Heaven cannot bind an...

Gen. 12:1-4 – Abram is justified here, as God promises to make his name great and bless the families of the earth through his seed. Abram is justified by his faith in God. Heb. 11:8-10 confirms Abraham's justification occurred here, before Gen. 15:6 (later) by referring to Gen. 12, not Gen. 15...

The Church hasn't reversed anything but reformulated a paragraph that applied to the 14 century when there was only one church. "No salvation outside the only church that existed at the time." It's a no brainer. The Church includes all baptized as Christians, but nothing the Church does will...

No, it isn't. Brakelite is affirming his own irrational anti-Catholicism, says "it is you who is escalating the debate to a personal level through your diversionary tactics" Not once did I refer to any individual. He fails to name what diversionary tactics I am using. I remain on topic. Does...

Good post Angelina. God doesn't expect us to understand all things, but I think He expects us to accept certain things on faith. Just because some things are above human reason does not mean it is opposed to it. Is your avatar an angel?

anti-Catholic dig #1: Works salvation or works righteousness is a heresy called Pelagianism, condemned by the Church in the 5th century. It is an anti-Catholic myth circulating in most of Protestantism. I'll summarize. The CC does not teach salvation by works apart from the grace of Christ...

The words of Jesus in Revelation transcends time and geography. For that reason I don't think the 7 churches are literal churches. 3. Catholicism (Pergamum) is loaded with typical fundie anti-Catholic nonsense. Eastern Christian Orthodoxy didn't exist at the time Rev. was written, and your...

Anti-Catholicism has a long history in America. And as Philip Jenkins argues in The New Anti-Catholicism, this virulent strain of hatred--once thought dead--is alive and well in our nation, but few people seem to notice, or care... Philip Jenkins is a sociology professor and is NOT Catholic...

Tell me how the Holy Spirit guides you to bear false witness with stupid sadistic insults...interesting theology. The teaching on the 10 commandments is a matter of public record, you are just afraid to look, or the volume is overwhelming. Here, I'll make it easy for you, since objective...

Anti-Catholic motto: When the facts of history are stacked against you, write your own or find one that fits the agenda. Official usage of the term "Pope" was applied to bishops and eastern patriarchs, and later applied to the Bishop of Rome, but that does not mean the office of Pope was...

Her real name is Catholic Church, not "Roman" church. "Roman" is one of 23 other rites. They didn't disappear. "Catholic" is in the Bible, translated from the Greek "KATAHOLOS". Catholic Rites and Churches Infallibility means teaching without error, it has nothing to do with impeccability...

If the CC rebelled, it would have been a monumentous event, and would be recorded in history. What was the date and/or teaching when this alleged major historical event took place? Why did it take up to the 15th century for anyone to notice, conveniently in the middle of a Protestant revolt...
