This just proves that A) you are afraid of the facts presented B ) you rigidly adhere to preconceived notions contrary to facts C) you are unteachable D) you don't read or don't care about previous posts Winter Solstice was NOT a Roman Civil holiday until the late 3rd Century AD. The Emperor...

Your wrong. We don't say we have the fullness of Christ and you don't, we say we have the fulness of faith, and can prove it, but only to those who are disposed to receive it.

It doesn't say "faith alone". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuT8yTakq54&list=PLF6A11BE02634AAEA&feature=plcp

John 21:15-17 - Jesus charges Peter to "feed my lambs," "tend my sheep," "feed my sheep." Sheep means all people, even the apostles. This is typical fundie hate speech with no documentation. This off topic-red herring tactic is common with anti-Catholics. Fire off a cluster bomb of off-topic...

There is nothing in the article that says Saturnalia was made an official day of celebration on Dec. 25 before the third century. Date ranges are given, but no single fixed date. That's fine, but it doesn't detract from John being born near the Summer Solstice, which gives us clues as to when...

21. Many Protestants take a dim view towards Christian history in general, esp. the years from 313 (Constantine's conversion) to 1517 (Luther's arrival). This ignorance and hostility to Catholic Tradition leads to theological relativism, anti-Catholicism, and a constant, unnecessary process of...

Matt. 16:18 - Jesus said in Aramaic, you are "Kepha" and on this "Kepha" I will build my Church. In Aramaic, "kepha" means a massive stone, and "evna" means little pebble. Some non-Catholics argue that, because the Greek word for rock is "petra", that "Petros" actually means "a small rock", and...

Rev. 14:8, 16:19, 17:5, 18:2,10,21, shows that "Babylon" meant pagan Rome. Selene, you can point out facts all day. Axeheads real agenda is to argue against the Papacy. Was the Papacy Established by Christ? Resolved: The papacy, defined as "the ministry of a supreme pastor with the power...

Matt. 28:1; Mark 16:2,9; John 20:1,19- the Gospel writers purposely reveal Jesus' resurrection and appearances were on Sunday. This is because Sunday had now become the most important day in the life of the Church. Acts 20:7 - this text shows the apostolic tradition of gathering together to...

If they didn't tell you Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday, you should demand a refund for your tuition.

They give a testimony to what was believed and practiced, which you don't accept. Individual Fathers were fallible and liable to bias at times, but the final ruling of the Church was not. And none of them rebelled. Rejecting everything because it is not in scripture is sticking your head in...

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...

What is CLARIFIED does not mean it was INVENTED. This concept completely baffles anti-Catholics, they refuse to learn it. The BIBLE mandates oral tradition, a BIBLICAL concept that also baffles anti-Catholics. Oral Tradition is not confined to one apostle, it's all of them, and only 3 of the...

That is a false assertion. see http://www.scripturecatholic.com/ for biblical proof. We listen to the Church that gave you the Bible. Yet you find this unreasonable. Name the date and the teaching the first time there was an inconsistency with what was always believed. You can't because...

The Church we read about in the NT didn't have a NT. The NT didn't start the Church. Not true. There are thousands of documented SMW in every century. Here's an example: Saints Who Raise the Dead: True Stories of 400 Resurrection Miracles Scientific Evidence for Miracles Paul served...

How can you say we must be like the New Testament church when you reject the unanimous teachings found in the writings of the 1st 3 centuries of Christianity? “'...thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church' ... It is on him that he builds the Church, and to him that he entrusts...

It's not so simple. It's a matter of degree of separation. The Catholic Church can claim to teach the same doctrines as the first 3 centuries. Non-denominationalism can't even claim to teach the same doctrines as the reformers. Sola scriptura is a non-truth of men, and has no defense. For...

The first Christians "devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching" (Acts 2:42) long before there was a New Testament. From the very beginning, the fullness of Christian teaching was found in the Church as the living embodiment of Christ, not in a book. The teaching Church, with its oral...

Complex Relationship Some truths of Tradition are directly stated in Scripture, such as God's creation of the world. The Bible comes right out and says, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth" (Gen. 1:1). Other truths of Tradition are not stated directly in Scripture but are...

In this discussion it is important to keep in mind what the Catholic Church means by tradition. The term does not refer to legends or mythological accounts, nor does it encompass transitory customs or practices which may change, as circumstances warrant, such as styles of priestly dress...
