No one has said "...you or anyone else saying that Protestants are not of the true faith" but Rach, who has already been corrected. No Catholic has said that. You, Rex, are trying to start a fight. Before the canon of the Bible, the Christian Rule of Faith (TRADITION) included belief in the...

This is a straw man argument. 'from God because it's been done for generations' is a false definition of Tradition. "upholding the things he has taught them" is closer. Again, a straw man argument. "anything we hear" has nothing to do with Tradition. You miss the point. The Bible alone does...

Not necessarily. Oral Tradition that is mentioned in 1 Cor 11:2; 2 Thess 3:14-15; 2 Thess 2:15, etc. does not refer to orally transmitting the message of the Bible. It refers to the Oral Tradition apart from the Written Tradition (the Bible). The Oral Tradition has not been corrupted and we...

"Now the person in each declares the independent being and subsistence. But divinity is the property of the Father; and whenever the divinity of these three is spoken of as one, testimony is borne that the property of the Father belongs also to the Son and the Spirit: wherefore, if the divinity...

If the Church If God's Church crumbled in the second century, do you have the names of the Christians from that time that wrote about it? What does the historical record say over and above the hysterical record?

mjrhealth, Rev. 18:4-8 is not referring to the Catholic Church, or any church, it is referring to pagan Rome: Babylon in Rev. 8:10. Equating the Catholic Church with Babylon defies reason and everything we know of Christian history. It requires scriptural contortions of the greatest magnitude...

What does the Bible teach about the role of Apostolic Tradition? What did the Church Fathers teach about Apostolic Tradition? How do we know which Traditions are genuinely apostolic? Does the fact Jesus tested some traditions by Scripture mean Apostolic Tradition...

Agreed, but the "elect" that excludes a teaching authority is closer to communism. The Church, that includes the elect, is modeled after the Davidic Kingdom, according to scripture. If not, there would never be a Bible. Heaven cannot bind an error. Individuals and collectives make...

FIVE STAGES OF PERSECUTION http://www.christianityboard.com/topic/17024-five-stages-of-persecution/

Yup. It's by Ian Paisley, world renowned bigot of all bigots, an embarrassment to many Protestants. That's where you get your so called Catholic information. I have a theory that hate speech causes brain damage, similar to the reaction caused by pornography. I should write about it some day...

Why don't you be the first to answer my questions: Were Ignatius, Clement and Irenaeus Christians? If the unity of Christians was meant to convince the world that Jesus was sent by God, John 17:20-23 what does the ever-increasing fragmentation of Protestantism say to the world? Oh, your...

So I am supposed to be passive while ignorance and bigotry reigns? MOST OF THE TIME I bring up Catholicism is when she is derided, insulted, misrepresented or attacked. I should remind you that this mess got started by me agreeing with you. Obviously, it's not the content that matters but the...

If the unity of Christians was meant to convince the world that Jesus was sent by God, what does the ever-increasing fragmentation of Protestantism say to the world? What are you trying to prove with this obvious butchery of the catechism?

I would agree with you if the Church Jesus instituted was left to operate purely on human effort. But He made a much better design, to the point of allowing for sinful humans to run it. What you are doing is pitting the Bible against the Church. Either He founded a Church, or He didn't. Either...

Yea,, and you got your digs in at that moment. None of it was called for. You make it obvious you don't believe a Catholic can be a Christian. You judge all Catholics by its weakest members. Are you suggesting that because I am Catholic I am not open to receive Him? I would guess that...

I never intended to get many responses. As of now, the thread has 203 views and that exceeded my expectations. What non-Catholics need to understand is that nobody owns the truth. The problem is with people who think they do.

I was under the impression that all were welcome. That's why I came here. And there is plenty of common ground, dragonfly, you just don't want there to be any. I can't even agree with the OP without getting my post hacked up. I'm glad your mind is open to such amazing discoveries. Because...

You've described moral relativism, Rach, a serious problem the world finds itself with. Moral Relativism Refuted

Thank you, NetC, for the uplifting and edifying posts.

Thanks Axehead. Here is another one. Should Christian women wear bikinis? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtzIcz7MOkc
