If you mean "ergon nomou" which means "works of the law" as Paul most commonly uses the term "works", you are correct. If you mean "ergois agathois", which means "good works" or works of love, as James uses the term "works", then you are incorrect. Thus when using the term "works", keep in...

I don't deny that Jesus has all authority. Of course He does. But you deny He has the authority to give His authority to sinful human beings. You make Jesus weak and impotent here on earth without a representative, contrary to numerous OT prophecies, contrary to list after list of NT evidence...

CCC 1317 is one of 7 brief summaries of the section on the Sacrament of Confirmation, which you can't possibly accept, since you have no valid bishops. ARTICLE 2 THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION Acts 8:14-17 - the people of Samaria were baptized in Christ, but did not receive the fullness of the...

You cannot prove Augustine uses the term "scripture alone" the same way Martin Luther did. Until you can prove Augustine pits "scripture alone" against the Church and Tradition, the way Martin Luther uses the term "scripture alone", you are just blowing forum flatulence. Your "red herring"...

<sigh> scripture alone is not the subject, and you don't care what Augustine taught, and you have no context. In the paragraph immediately preceding the cited text, St. Augustine is discussing with St. Jerome the fittingness of using the word ludamus(“let us amuse ourselves”) in their debate...

You should leave it alone. There is nothing in the historical record supporting such a wacky theory, and you are not a historian. Given that such a large number of popes were martyred by emperors your theory is highly insulting to those who offered their lives for the sake of the Gospel. All i...

Post #210, page 7. Your assertions were refuted and you are just repeating yourself. Explain why you accept out-of-context snippets of Augustine but reject everything else he taught???

Catholicism has no doctrinal errors. Twisting them to suit your agenda is immoral.

I would not go with Augustine or any ECF. They all supported the authority of the Church that harmonized with Scripture and Tradition, so your best approach (and the most popular) is to pit one against the other by taking quotes out of context, and ignoring the general consensus of the ECF...

So what. "Roman Catholic" and "Catholic" are used interchangeably. We've simply adopted the 500 year old insult. The sign outside my Catholic parish church says "Roman Catholic...", it's just my opinion that it is inaccurate (because it is) but it makes little difference to me and I am not...

What a load of horse muffins. No, the Church does not prohibit individuals from reading the Scriptures and coming to their own conclusions. It teaches that the faithful are prohibited from interpreting scripture “contrary to that sense which holy mother Church…hath held and doth hold” (Trent...

I can face reality; I am well aware of the Church's conduct over the centuries, I just don't accept your irrational hatred of the Church which is most likely based on childhood traumas. More than one Pope, on more than one occasion, has made apologies for the sins of crazy Catholics of the...

That would be like going to the Ku Klux Klan for information about Black History Month

What you mean is your private version of truth according to your infallible opinion of what His word says. The Church has a physical/institutional element or she cannot function. Christ Himself was both God and man, divine and human, so the Church, too, is a kind of incarnation, divine and...

The truth is not always agreeable. I would expect those that "know better" would reply with more than an empty one liner.

"Who is right" is the wrong question. Everybody is right. The question to ask is "Who teaches the truth?" Could there be a difference between a consistent, historical, authoritive teaching and an opinion?

The Church is the living breathing Body of Christ. 1 Cor 12 (NIV), of whom Jesus Christ is the HEAD, Col 1:18 (NIV) I ignored it because I had nothing to say. I have no disagreement with 1 Cor 12, Col 1:18, you may as well have told me water is wet. But those verses do not negate, supplant or...

I'm not confused. The prefix "Roman" to "Roman Catholic Church" can only properly apply to one diocese: the Diocese of Rome. Those Catholics of the Latin or Roman rite can be properly called "Roman Catholics", in spite of the fact that there are Catholics in that diocese under a different rite...
