For one - Mary was conceived by parents who were corrupted by Original Sin. God, however, saved her at conception keep her from being stained by it. We see evidence of this in Luke 1:28. The Greek word is kecharitomene used in Luke 1:28, which is the perfect passive participle, indicates a...

There were the Early Church Fathers - and there were the Apostolic Fathers, who learned from the Apostles themselves. John’s disciple, Ignatius of Antioch, was writing at the beginning of the 2nd century – while John was STILL alive – that the Catholic Church is the Church established by Christ...

This verse (Matt 23:9) is preceded by a warning nor to call anybody “Teacher” as well (v. 8). Jesus was talking about the Pharisees to exalted themselves as fathers and teachers ABOVE our Father and Teacher in Heaven. Fe wasn’t forbidding the title. Jesus said, “Your father Abraham rejoiced at...

Can you show me in Scripture where it teaches Sola Scriptura? WHY are you so afraid to answer this question?? This is the THIRD time I have asked you . . .

WRONG. Jesus communicated with Moses and Elijah at the Transfiguration. Would you accuse Him of “necromancy”? As I informed you before – from Webster’s Dictionary - that necromancy is the “conjuration of the spirits of the dead for purposes of magically revealing the future” It's NOT about...

You need to do your homework . . . Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary Definition: necromancy noun nec·ro·man·cy :conjuration of the spirits of the dead for purposes of magically revealing the future or influencing the course of events The Rosary is NOT Mary “worship”. It is a plea for...

As for asking a fellow member of the Body of Christ to pray for me – that isn’t “necromancy”. Necromancy means, “to seek oracles from the dead”. Asking them to pray for me is NOT seeking oracles (information) from them. WRONG. The Rosary is noy “worship”. It’s prayer of PETITION (asking). And...

And by your OWN standards – please show me where the Bible teaches the following. Chapter and verse, please - in CONTEXT: - Sola Scriptura - Sola Fide - Imputed righteousness - Eternal Security (“Once Saved, Always Saved”) - A Pre-Trib “Rapture” - Denominations Only THEN can you question...

And that Church was called “The Catholic Church”. It wasn’t called “My Church” . . . The Church, in its wisdom has listed all of its teachings in a text called, The Catechism of the Catholic Church, and is readily available for reference.

I see that you’re starting out with your usual litany of LIES .. . I have never stated that anti-Catholics are against all “individual” Catholics. I have always stated that an anti-Catholic is a person who LIES about what the Catholic Church teaches. Ans, as I have informed you – ad nauseam - I...

continued . . . Jesus absolutely IS the head of the Church – but He appointed Peter as prime minister, to build His Church (Matt. 16:16-18). Jesus singled out Peter when He gave him the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven (Matt. 16:18-19). - Jesus asked Peter and Peter alone to feed His lambs and...

What a perverted understanding of Scripture. In Matt. 23:8-9, is Jesus telling us that we can’t call certain people "fathers" or “teachers” when they may actually be fathers or teachers? Absolutely NOT. He is telling us that no man is to be considered father or teacher ABOVE our Father and...

Really - half?? Can you back up that claim with actual FACTS? While you're at it - can you show me where the Bible teaches the non-Catholic teaching of Sola Scriptura is found? According to Strong’s Greek Concordance – which is used by Protestants AND Catholics alike – Acts 9:31 is translated...

Ummmmm, where did I make this claim in my post? I merely stated that anti-Catholics usually ignorant of what the Catholic Church teaches. Being an anti-Catholic yourself - I understand your confusion . . .

Spoken like 2 people who are completely ignorant of Catholic teaching. This is usually the case when it comes to anti-Catholics . . .

I'm simply illustrating the unbroken line of succession in the early Chgurch. We can't simplu discard hisory in the name of an unbilical doctrine like Sola Scriptura . . . Acts 1:20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms, “‘May his camp become desolate, and let there be no one to dwell in...

This is the problem with Sola Scriptura. It completely discards history. Hippolytus of Rome was a disciple of Irenaeus, a disciple of Polycarp, who was a disciple of Apostle John. Hippolytus's works were considered lost prior to their discovery at a monastery on Mount Athos in 1854. In his...

Not only are Jesus and the Father NOT obscured by this - they are exalted.

Instead of simply refusing to respond - I suggest you try studying the Scriptures in their proper context . . .

A “handed down tradition”, as you call it IS an Apostolic teaching. The Apostles appointed others to take their place after they died – and this succession continued down through the centuries. In Acts 1, we see that the Apostles gathered together to choose a successor for Judas. Peter quotes...
