"...The light of God's face shines in all its beauty on the countenance of Jesus Christ, "the image of the invisible God" (Col 1:15), the "reflection of God's glory" (Heb 1:3), "full of grace and truth" (John 1:14). Christ is "the way, and the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). Consequently the...

It's implied in scripture. The term is not there. It makes perfect sense. Infallibility is a negative charism. Matt. 18:17-18 - the Church (not Scripture) is the final authority on questions of the faith. This demands infallibility when teaching the faith. She must be prevented from teaching...

Follows, same as, converse of, references, taken from, reminds us, analogizes, similar to; there is no deception in the exegesis. Axehead and Nomad have no substance, just noisy gongs and clanging symbols.... not to mention crying because their blindness is so evident. Heb. 4:12 - Paul's...

What? Is that all you've got? Play the scandal/homo card that you think you have an ace-in-the-hole when its just the joker? "So may priests..." HA! Prove it ! You will use any tactic to detract from the truth of scripture. I refuse to discuss it here. Open up a new thread. 99.98% OF...

Textual Criticism in the Writings of Francis Turretin Jack Rogers and Donald McKim have argued in a similar vein about Turretin. Specifically, they have argued that there is an inherent connection between scholasticism, Aristotelianism, and rationalism characteristic of Turretin’s thought that...

The Church is Visible and One Matt. 5:14 - Jesus says a city set on a hill cannot be hidden, and this is in reference to the Church. The Church is not an invisible, ethereal, atmospheric presence, but a single, visible and universal body through the Eucharist. The Church is an extension of the...

Objectors to the rosary are unable to comprehend the posts explaining how the rosary is a Bible study, and unceasing prayer as Paul commands. All they see are the externals. Satan hates Mary and objectors think they are on God's side by condemning something they refuse to understand.

[/font] Yes, that's called Protestantism. TRUTH is not subjective. "Divine truth" with varying degrees of subjectivity is called RELATIVISM. Moral relativism is refuted here. 2 Peter 1:20 2 Peter 3:16 Show me in scripture where the individual is led by the Holy Spirit apart from...

Matt. 2:16 - Herod's decree of slaying innocent children was prophesied in Wis. 11:7 - slaying the holy innocents. Matt. 6:19-20 - Jesus' statement about laying up for yourselves treasure in heaven follows Sirach 29:11 - lay up your treasure. Matt.. 7:12 - Jesus' golden rule "do unto others" is...

Yes, because the Catholic Church is not formally anti-Protestant. I am anti-anti-Catholic. Most anti-Protestants are anti-everything, except for the groupie feel good cult they belong to that was founded in the last 10-20 years, maybe earlier than that. Oh, and lets not forget the thousands of...

Agreed Nevertheless, besides the doctrinal differences needing to be resolved, Christians cannot underestimate the burden of long-standing misgivings inherited from the past, and of mutual misunderstandings and prejudices. Complacency, indifference and insufficient knowledge of one another...

I am not blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Please scroll back to post 24 and click on the link: CCC817, 818, 819. It clearly and explicitly states: 819 "Furthermore, many elements of sanctification and of truth"273 are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: "the written Word of...

ah..hem.....wrong. Catholicism teaches the law of Christ, and Paul commands us to obey Tradition, (that predate the canon of the Bible) which you don't understand. Catholicism is NOT in the same spirit of Judaism, she is the FULFILLMENT of Judaism, something you cannot claim for yourself. hmm...

"Church" is singular and plural. It is used in the singular in the universal way Jesus founded and commission her, Matthew 16:18 Matthew 18:17 "all Judea" Acts 8:3 and in Acts 2:47 Acts 5:11 Acts 8:1 Acts 12:1 Acts 12:5 and many others. Scripture uses plural (churches) to describe...

They are divine attributes or marks of God. Permit me to define what these 4 marks mean: The Church Is One (Rom. 12:5, 1 Cor. 10:17, 12:13, CCC 813–822) Jesus established only one Church, not a collection of differing churches (Lutheran, Baptist, Anglican, and so on). The Bible says the...

The gospel of Axehead states that we don't need a Church because Jesus does everything. The primary function of the Church is to teach the truth about Jesus, and the truth about humanity. To say that an organized fellowship takes away from Jesus is absurd. All baptized believers belong to the...

Premise: The Church is Not the Source of Truth, kicker counter argument: 1 Tim 3:15 Supporting arguments: for the premise: John 5:31 John 5:36 John 10:25 These verses do not disprove Tim 3:15. "Truth is not of our own making. Even Christ proclaimed that the truth He illuminated did not...

There was no fixed OT canon at the time of Paul. He was beheaded in 67 AD, and the Jewish school of Javnia which determined the JEWISH canon did not occur until some 30 years later. During the first century, the Jews disagreed as to what constituted the canon of Scripture. In fact, there were a...

neophyte, I admire your zeal but you need to learn a few things about posting in non-Catholic forums. Your tone is combative, your content is erroneous (Mary did not "Ascend") and off topic and overall, counterproductive to the Catholic apologetic movement. You have a lot of reading to do...

The discussion at hand is an absurd contradiction, which is over 5 months old. I ignored your post because it is not worth replying to. I made the mistake of getting tangled up in too many threads and I try to avoid "hit-and-run" the way some posters do. I like to stay with threads I participate...
