Your point is a denial of final purification, and you dance around what Paul teaches. You quote him, but don't get it. Your system cannot reconcile God's justice and mercy. No chance of final purification would put most of us in hell. That makes God a monster. The reformers invented...

JESUS and the DEUTEROCANON 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’...

What a load of taurus exrcetum. First he makes a lot of noise about Tradition but does't name one of them. He has preconceived notions of what Tradition is sacred and constructs a huge straw man. The Authority of Scripture has always been a Sacred Tradition but he can't remove his...

You want to hold Catholics today accountable for sins centuries ago, but refuse to hold Protestants of today accountable for the sins of their past. That makes you a phony. Protestant Inquisitions: "Reformation" Intolerance & Persecution or just another ignorant anti-Catholic bigot. Catholics...

The shot gun tactic just proves you have been refuted. Making long lists of terms you have no hope of understanding, and don't care. Your anti-tradition nonsense has been demolished in post #551 and 552. Everybody knows there are bad traditions in the Bible, but those are all you can see. You...

Here is a bit of history. Find a 66 book codex printed/copied/or used before the 14th century. I'll save you a lot of research; it doesn't exist.

You use "sources" that cannot be checked, so you can make your "sources" say anything you want. It's dishonest. You give no context. Your so called "sources" are not SDA publications, but you copy their dishonest methods. If you are going to site "Catholic sources", everything taught is...

Far from distinguishing tradition from the gospel, as evangelicals often contend, the Bible equates tradition with the gospel and other terms such as “word of God,” “doctrine,” “holy commandment,” “faith,” and “things believed among us.” All are “delivered” and “received”: 1) Traditions...

What a load of crap. You haven't a clue what the Church teaches about Tradition, so you invent a bunch of lies to fill in the gaps of your phony definition. Many Protestants (especially anti-Catholic ones) hold, by and large, the view that Scripture and sacred, apostolic tradition are somehow...

I don't think the "books" in Rev. are literal books. Acts 2:42 – from the Church’s inception, apostolic tradition included celebrating the Eucharist (the “breaking of the bread”) to fulfill Jesus’ command “do this in remembrance of me.” Luke 22:19, 1 Cor. 11:24-25 – Jesus commands the apostles...

Israel is the elder brother of the Church, they are the same family. John 1:32 – when Jesus was baptized, He was baptized in the water and the Spirit, which descended upon Him in the form of a dove. The Holy Spirit and water are required for baptism. Also, Jesus’ baptism was not the Christian...

So you approve of 2 systems of justice? You have completely missed the point. Public schools, where the problem is undeniably worse, will never get a grand jury investigation. The Attorney General Shapiro gets away with protecting his buddies and all you can do is harp over a 50 year old crisis...

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on an AP story about a Trump administration probe of clergy sexual abuse in Pennsylvania: The Associated Press has learned, from anonymous sources, that the U.S. Justice Department is investigating the Catholic Church in Pennsylvania. AP reports...

I've explained, using Protestant scholars and linguists, the meaning of "Full of Grace". You reject a list of early reformers, you reject Protestant lingualists but accept the teachings of Modernists of the mid 19th century, a tradition of men. Fad theology is not truth. Running from the...

No Protestant historian (Ph.D. level) of the last 50 years would agree with your false history, and your "Catholic sources" are fabrications. Making up lies or grossly misrepresenting "Catholic sources" is standard SDA methodology. (That's why you use untraceable "Catholic sources".) Your...

Catholics hold that Mary was saved by grace, just like anyone who is saved. God simply performed an extra supernatural act to make her like Eve was before the Fall. God can do anything He wishes, so this is not prima facie impossible, let alone unreasonable, implausible or immediately...

Pontification is easy, research is hard. I maintain that no Protestant church taught Mary a sinner before the false philosophies of the Enlightenment Era infected Protestant liberals with the heresy of Modernism. because so many early reformers never taught that. Rebellion and protesting...

Protestants keep objecting that these Catholic beliefs are speculative; that is, that they go far beyond the biblical evidence. But once one delves deeply enough into Scripture and the meanings of the words of Scripture, they are not that speculative at all. Rather, it looks much more like...

Luke 1:28 [RSV]: "And he came to her and said, 'Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!'" [The RSVCE translates kecharitomene ("favored one" above) as "full of grace"] Catholics believe that this verse is an indication of the sinlessness of Mary - itself the kernel of the more developed...

The error is with Protestant liberals. Every church on the planet upheld Mary's sinlessness before the mid 19th century. All the early reformers also upheld this "invention", as well as dozens of Early Church Fathers. I challenge you to find one Protestant church before the mid 19th century...
