The Scriptures are silent on this matter – just as they are silent on the Canon of Scripture. The Church leaves the matter of unbaptized children to the mercy of God. It took the Church to declare the Canon of Scripture to the world (382 AD), which Jesus left as His earthly voice (Luke 10:16)...

Mary’s sinlessness is the exception to the rule. The Bible gives us other exceptions – Enoch and Elijah, for example. According to the Wor dof God: Heb. 9:27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, . . . Ummm, didn’t Lazarus die TWICE?? How about the...

Yes - God id totally incapable of creating a person without sin. What a pathetic, powerless little god you’ve invented for yourself . . . He certainly had her DNA in His blood

It’s easier to understand the sinlessness of Mary once you understand her role as Ark of the New Covenant (Jesus). The Ark of the Covenant was a holy vessel that was made of pure materials and blessed inside and out because it carried symbols of God’s power. OT - The Word was written by God on...

When YOU fail to do your homework - you do the same thing . . .

WRONG. In Acts 1, when the Apostles and others gathered together to elect a successor for Judas - Peter quotes Psalm 109 when he says: Acts 1:20 Let another take his office.” The Greek word for “office” used here is “Episkopay”, which means Bishopric. This is a successive office. When Peter...

Soooo, if a person doesn't study the Scriptures according to YOUR blueprint - then it's MOT legitimate? That's a pretty myopic and arrogant view. Anyway, I was responding to your statement that the Church is the "sole" source of truth for most people.

AS a Catholic, I believe what Scripture says about Christ's Church - that it is the pillar and foundation of truth (1 Tim. 3:15). It is the FULLNESS of Christ (Eph. 1:22-23). I don't think anybody claims that it is the "SOLE" source of truth.

continued . . . There were wolves at the time. History and the Bible shows us that these were groups like the Gnostic Heretics. In the early centuries, there were also the Arians, Nestorians, Manicheans, Montanists and others. Now, we have Watchtower Society, “Onesness” Pentecostals...

You don’t know the Scriptures very well. Time for another Bible Lesson . . . When Jesus sent out the Seventy-two – He instructed them: Luke 10:16 Whoever listens to YOU listens to ME. Whoever rejects YOU rejects ME. And whoever rejects ME rejects the ONE who sent ME." These weren’t the...

And, it it was spirited debate that started the Christian Church. Apparently, you don’t know your Bible very well (Acts 18:28) . . . WRONG – I never claimed that it was “smooth sailing” in the Early Church. With all of the martyring o these men during this period – it was anything BUT smooth...

The Early Church Fathers were faithful servants of Christ who passed on the Christian faith over the centuries despite being persecuted and butchered for their efforts. When I read ignorant posts about about how they were just a bunch “apostate” rubes - it makes me think about how much MORE...

One cannot consider onesekf a Christian and NOT be baptized in Christ (Matt. 28:19, John 3:5, Mark 16:16, Eph. 4:5, Col. 2:11-12, 1 Pet. 3:21). Apostacy is the repudiation of this faith. You cannot become apostate if you are NOY a Christian - and you can't be a Christian without Baptism.

This is typical of your hypocrisy. You judge the Church by the sins and errors of SOME of its leaders instead of the doctrines of the Church. Yes, relatively-speaking, it WAS only a ”few stupid Catholics”. Do you judge Jesus and the leaders HE chose by the worst one (Judas)?? I could just as...

As I told Titus – it doesn’t matter if Matthew was written in Chinese. Jesus and His Apostles spoke Aramaic to one another. The “Trilingual” nation that @Titus keeps trying to push is also irrelevant. The largely uneducated masses that Jesus preached to weren’t multilingual. Many of the...

continued . . . 3. "This rock" refers to Peter "Jesus, then, is promising Peter that he is going to build his church on him! I accept this view." --William Hendriksen, New Testament Commentary: Exposition of the Gospel According to Matthew, (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 1973), 647. "Nowadays a...

And your LIES continue . . . Not only did they speak Aramaic - Peter is the "Rock" referred to in Matt, 16:18. YOUR delusion is that you actually believe that you know MORE than the following PROTESTANT scholars on the matter . . . 1. There is no distinction between "petros" and "petra." "In...

I have given you several examples of Jesus speaking in Aramaic - and YOU have completely FAILED to address them: These are some of the Aramaic words spoken by Jesus: "Talitha koum"- Mat 5:3 "Ephphatha" Mark 7:34 "Eli, Eli lama sabathani" verse Matt. 27:46 WHEN are you finally going to address...

The Bible records Jesus speaking in Aramaic, as I have shown you THREE times now. You have YET to refute it . . . Didn’t YOU report ME for calling YOU that very word?? Consider yourself reported . . . I have never said ANY such thing. Your penchant for dishonesty is your downfall. Exod...

I was responding to the following remark from @Titus – “THR LORDS CHURCH HAD ALREADY BEEN IN EXISTENCE SOME 573 YEARS WHEN THIS OCCURRED.” I proved to him that the Lord’s Church was in fact, the Catholic Church. He also made the Historically-bankrupt claim that the first Pope came to be in 606...
