Sooo, you actually believe that Paul taught a different “truth” to the Thessalonians than Peter or James or John were teaching?? That’s one of the problems with Sola Scripturists – and you are definitely one. You guys believe that they wanted you to believe ONLY what is contained in their...

First of all – it’s the “Catholic Church” – not the “Roman” Catholic Church. Secondly, whether history is full of “bad things” or not – the Catholic Church can trace irself back to the Apostles – and we have the paper trail to prove it. Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch - who was a lifelong student...

Then you disagree with history. He absolutely is. "... either by an oral statement - OR by a Letter from us ..." (2 Thess. 2:15). Why do you believe the New Testament is the Word of God? It was compiled and declared Canon by the Catholic Church in 383 AD. The NT Canon is in effect, a Sacred...

FIRST of all – Sacred Tradition wasn’t OLNY written about to the Thessalonians . . . 2 Tim. 2:2 "What you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also". 1 Cor. 11:2 "I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the...

Not Pharisaical - it’s just a fact. Again – I was merely stating a fact. I harbor NO animosity towards my separated Protestant brethren. As Paul teaches in 2 Thess. 2:15 – NOT all of God’s Word is encapsulated un Scripture alone . . . 2 Thess 2:15 "Stand firm and hold fast to the Traditions...

Jesus gave supreme earthly Authority to His CHURCH. The Church is His mouthpiece on earth. He told the leaders of His Church: Matt 16:19 / Matt. 18:18 Amen, I say to you, WHATEVER YOU BIND on earth shall be bound in heaven, and WHATEVER YOU LOOSE on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Luke 10:16...

Only God can open your eyes to His Word . . . The Catholic Church that has existed since the Apostles. The same cannot be said of your sect . . . With "certainty?? Give me a SINGLE Sacred Tradition that “contradicts” Scripture. Otherwise, your argument collapses . . . Talk about dancing...

No - you rejected the Sacred Tradition with regard to Mary’s Perpetual Virginity. You will only accept Scriptural evidence. THAT is am argument from Sola Scriptura. Again - you CLAIM to be accepting to other forms of evidence – but you really aren’t. Even though Scripture itself puts Apostolic...

Because this is the manner in which you argue. You constantly demand Scriptural evidence for things about which Scripture is largely silent. You can’t just “claim” to not be a Sola Scripturist – then argue like one . . .

Paul, sats that we do BOTH. He used his gifts in the ministry of spreading the Gospel (Acts 14:8-10) – AND he offered his redemptive sufferings for the Church (Col. 1:24). How sad it must be to have NO need of the Body of Christ . . . Because many anti-Catholics accuse the Church of believing...

How is that context “very clear”? Mary’s sister (Mary) and her children couldn’t have lived with or near her sister? What if her sister was a widow? These are possibilities about which Scripture is silent. There is nothing “very clear” at all . . .. And they are usually differentiated in the...

*** I deleted some of your post in my response because of limited character space You missed the point. I was simply differentiating between explicit Biblical teaching and implicit Biblical teaching – and showing that they are BOTH valid. This was in response to the claim that Mary’s...

The normal Greek words for “brother(s) “adelphos” and “adelphoi” were used much more liberally than the normal meaning. It was applied to cousins, uncles, nephews, kinsmen, brother of same parents, half-brother (same father), relative, same tribe, and even a fellow countryman. There are 344...

For that matter – there is NO Scriptural evidence that she ever went to the bathroom. “Evidence” is that which points to a truth. It’s not rock-solid proof. Your Sola Scriptura argument that “since it’s NOT in Scripture – then it CAN’T be true” is dishonest in light of the fact that claim NOT...

**I deleted some of your post because of limited character space . . . No – it’s NOT explicitly shown in Scripture that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are ONE God, manifested in THREE distinct Persons. This is a truth that is absolutely alluded to and implicitly taught – but not explicitly...

I already HAVE. Not only did I present verses that show she didn’t have any other children – I gave you over a DOZEN verses of OT type and NT fulfillments with regard to Mary being the Ark of the New Covenant. This comparison ALONE points to her Perpetual Virginity. You have NO interest in...

Actually, NO. Whereas, there ARE verses that show that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are God – the definition of the Triune Godhead is not explicitly defined. The definition of the Triune Godhead is that they are ONE essence (God) manifested in THREE distinct Persons. I fully believe in this...

Correction: I never claimed to have explicit proof of Mary’s Perpetual Virginity. It is an implicit Scriptural teaching – and YOU haven’t provided ANY evidence to the contrary – explicit OR implicit. You are as dishonest as they come . . . FIRST, you say that you’re NOT a Sola Scripturist...

As usual, I'm under NO delusion that Amigo would post anything Scripturally-relevant or remotely-intelligent. I respond his nonsense to expose him . . .

No - I’ve acknowledged that Mary’s Perpetual Virginity cannot be explicitly proven from Scripture alone. Biblical truth come to us is TWO ways: Explicitly and Implicitly. For example – the fact that Jesus is the Son of God is explicitly taught in Scripture (Luke 1:35, Mark 1:11, 9:7). The...
