    The Catholic Church and Authority

    Christ himself is the source of th Where in the Bible does the Holy Spirit lead individuals apart from the Church Jesus founded? This may come as a shock to you, but one of the primary mission of the Catholic Church is to teach people about Jesus. Your comment is redundant. There is truckloads...

    The Catholic Church gets put down a lot, but it was all that could help

    Your demonizing the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola is based on falsehoods. Once again, the anti-Catholic merely asserts with no evidence. You have to. Tearing down anything Catholic is done to build up your man made prot cult, it's pure insecurity. Catholic bashing is your...

    The Catholic Church gets put down a lot, but it was all that could help

    Agreed. He condemned the vanity, not the repetition. Matt. 26:44 - Jesus prayed a third time in the garden of Gethsemane, saying the exact same words again. It is not the repetition that is the issue. It's the vanity. God looks into our heart, not solely at our words. Luke 18:13 - the tax...

    "When did the RCC begin?"

    You can remember Constantine myths from 70 years ago without being influenced by today's propaganda that does not hold up to logic? Your sources have been exposed as frauds. What you have said is not supported by scholarly documentation, or common sense. I accept only history written by a Ph.D...

    The Catholic Church and Authority

    The Bible repeatedly teaches that the Church is indefectible; therefore, the hypothetical of rejecting the (one true, historic) Church, as supposedly going against the Bible, is impossible according to the Bible. It is not a situation that would ever come up, because of God’s promised...

    "When did the RCC begin?"

    I have him on ignore. He is so full of hate he can't read, just "pope" Dave Hunt and such Whore duh Babble-on psychos. THE LIES OF DAVE HUNT 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...

    "When did the RCC begin?"

    The catacombs of St.Callixtus are among the greatest and most important of Rome. They originated about the middle of the second century and are part of a cemeterial complex. In it were buried tens of martyrs, 16 popes and very many Christians. Perhaps the world's oldest-known image of Mary...

    "When did the RCC begin?"

    Which "studies" would that be? How about you post the name of the books. Logical Problems with the Constantine Founder Myth: If Constantine started the Catholic Church, then it would, therefore, seem to follow that Constantine himself was a Catholic Christian. This was not the case...

    In Reference To CyBs Statement of Faith - Christian Forum

    Evangelical Protestants of the “low church” or non-denominational variety especially, oftentimes exhibit an antipathy to matter as a conveyor of grace (or “blessing”). In other words, they tend to deny the sacramental principle. This hearkens back to the Docetic heresy, with traces of...

    Why I believe (true) Catholicism will some day rule the world

    I'm still waiting for you to tell me who did. I offer scholarly documentation, you offer hate speech. You don't like, or are ignorant of, the facts of history so you fall for every lie that comes along. Neither Protestants or Catholics today are accountable for what happened 1000 years ago...

    Why I believe (true) Catholicism will some day rule the world

    The Catholic Church is not interested in ruling the world, she is interested in saving souls. You have absolutely no scholarly documentation to support your assertion that the Inquisition "killed millions". The Truth about the Spanish Inquisition 7 Myths about the Inquisition None of these...

    The Catholic Church gets put down a lot, but it was all that could help

    How does that discredit the papacy? You can't see the difference between resolving a controversy and starting a new church (which divides further with time), and starting a new church is the standard means Protestantism uses for resolving controversy. The Western Schism does not disprove the...

    The Catholic Church gets put down a lot, but it was all that could help

    But the Church itself is holy because it is the source of holiness and is the guardian of the special means of grace Jesus established, the sacraments (cf. Eph. 5:26). The Second Coming of Christ is a doctrine you borrowed from us and has nothing to do with the discussion. But the Church...

    Modern scholarship has dismissed the commonly held beliefs about the Crusades as more Protestant propaganda. http://www.ignatiusinsight.com/features2005/tmadden_crusademyths_feb05.asp http://www.catholiceducation.org/en/controversy/the-crusades/four-myths-about-the-crusades.html Muslims took...

    The Catholic Church gets put down a lot, but it was all that could help

    Jesus said that the unity of Christians would be objective evidence to the world that He had been sent by God (John 17:20-23). How can the world see an invisible "unity" that exists only in the hearts of believers? How does this answer the question? I also asked for documentation on popes...

    What "power" would that be, how was it exercised, when and by whom? Looks to me like another reformist myth.

    The Catholic Church gets put down a lot, but it was all that could help

    Your scenario is nasty and out of touch with reality. Sure, there were a few bad popes, we don't deny that. (about 10) Most popes were good holy men. YOU deny that. 10 out of 266 is a ratio of 1:26. Consider Judas, 1 bad Apostle out of 12. That's a ratio of 1:12. 1:26 is a vast improvement...

    Your phony story got exposed and you got caught in a lie, so you attack me with predator priests, and a different topic with every post.
