The fact that Jesus not only DIDN'T teach Sola Scriptura - He declared that the Church was our final earthly Authority (Matt.16:18-19, Matt. 18:15:18, Luke 10:16, John 16:12-15, John 20:21-23). SS is a completely man-made doctrine - NOT a Biblical truth. There's your proof . . .

Why do I have to explain that? The Church has already taught them that rituals won't save them. You know what you call a Catholic who makes up hius OWN doctries? A Protestant . . .

That's NOT what I said. I said that We are saved by our faith in Christ - and our obedience of that faith. Ultimately, we are saved by the grace of God through Jesus Christ. HOWEVER, if we don't cooperate with that grace, it doesn't merit ut us a thing. As for NOT following the "same Jesus" -...

Catholics don’t believe that we are “saved” by rituals. We are saved by our faith in Christ - and our obedience of that faith. Baptism is a requirement of faith (John 3:5, Mark 16:16, 1 Pet. 3:20-21) – and NOT just window-dressing. So, you actually believe it wasn’t her faith – but just a sense...

Hogwash. If you did - you wouldn't be conversing with me now, my hypocritical friend . . .

No - it’s a fact . . . Just because YOU close your eyes to the truth doesn’t mean it’s NOT true . Time for a History Lesson . . . The Synod of Rome (382) is where the canon was first formally identified – ALL 73 (not 66) Books. - 11 years after that, it was confirmed at the Synod of Hippo...

And thankyou, as well. Amen to that . . .

The Church has never condemned anybody to Hell. That’s yet another ignorant anti-Catholic myth . . . Abstaining from meat on Fridays isn’t a “dietary restriction” because meat is NOT a forbidden food. It is a discipline, not a doctrine or law. Anyway - where did Jesus ever tell us NOT to...

Nope - but, neither did they say that the Bible is our SOLE Authority. However - they DID say that the CHURCH is our final earthly Authority (Matt. 16:18-9, Matt. 18:15-18, Luke 10:16, John 16:112-15, John 20:21-22).

No I don't, what?? Expose your ignorance again?

Ummm, you've sure spent a LOT of time debating with me. So much for "disregarding" me . . .

Okay - but we weren't discussing a "fundamental important belief". We were discussing abstaining from meat on Fridays - a discipline . . .

And that is a LIE because I just showed you Biblical proof of Paul practicing mortification . . . Mortification of the deeds of the flesh, as Paul explained is to DENY one’s self. It's about self-control and self-discipline. It has nothing to do with self-flagellation. THIS is why I said that...

So - if you're a Sola Scripturist - can you show me where Jesus and the Apostles taught this? I must have missed that verse . . . While you're at it - can you show me where they listed the Books that belong in the New Testament? It was the Catholic church who declared the Canon in the 4th...

I guess that's that's the thing to say when you're ignorant of the facts . . . Every anti-Catholic post of yours that I've read - and there have been MANY - you always get it wrong. Educate yourself before getting into a debate about other people's beliefs . . .

Abstaining from mean on Fridays is a matter discipline – not a doctrine. Some people have a daily devotional prayer time. Others, twice a week or every other day. Bible study, fasting, skipping lunch onca week to help the poor are also disciplines. Mortification of the flesh is a way of...

Another anti-Catholic thread - filled with the usual ignorant drivel by fa gaggle of uninformed Catholic-haters . . . John 15:18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you."

continued . . . WRONG. Col. 1:16-17 FOR BY HIM ALL THINGS WERE CREATED, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. Gen. 1:26 “Let US create man in OUR image" - In Rev 1:8 and Rev. 21:5...

The Bible absolutely teaches that many WILL go through a final purification: 2 Macc. 12:42-46, Matt. 5:25-26, Matt. 12:32, Matt. 18:32-35, Luke 12:58-59, 1 Cor. 3:10‐15 Neither does the Catholic church worship images. We worship God – and God ALONE. As for NOT having honored saints from the...

Huh?? I’ve defended the Church’s position against every bit of mud you’re thrown at it. The fact that YOU don’t like the answers is irrelevant . . . And as GodsGrace has already educated you – it was the Church that kept heresy OUT of Christianity. As for those who “questioned” and protested...
