    Was Bible Possession banned by the Catholic Church

    Ummmm, which part was “propaganda”, Einstein? The fact that the Catholic Church has been around since the time of the Apostles – or that it predates ANY of your disjointed Protestant factions by about 1500 years? Try and debunk either fact . . .

    Was Bible Possession banned by the Catholic Church

    What a surprise . . . Another impotent rant that is completely devoid of Scriptural or historical perspective - NOR does it address post #221.

    Was Bible Possession banned by the Catholic Church

    In other words – you have absolutely NO intelligent response to my air-tight historical case. That’s what I thought . . .

    Was Bible Possession banned by the Catholic Church

    A truly astonishing example of the utter ignorance you have of the historic Christian Church. Time for s History Lesson . . . The Church built by Jesus Christ and established by the Apostles was called the “Catholic Church” by the end of the FIRST century – some 1400 tears before anybody ever...

    The meaning of 666 and its identity

    Apparently, you didn't read posts 47 & 63 where this was explained. The fact that Mary was sinless was the work of her Savior.

    Firdt of all most, if God was able to inspire these men to relay His sacred Word to the world - who is to say that He dubd't give them the ability to write them down in the languahe of the day?? For God, who spoke the universe into existence, teaching a few guys how to write would be child's...

    Was Bible Possession banned by the Catholic Church

    You're forgetting ONE thing: The Epistles were written in Greek, which was the lingua frnca of many cultures in the first century. Whereas, some Jews may have been proficient in Hebrew or Aramaic - but whhere is the evidence that they could read multiple languages, including Greek? Peopple...

    The meaning of 666 and its identity

    REALY?? Did Jesus sin? He’s part of “ALL”. Babies don’t possess all of their faculties or ability to reason. Do they sin? What about the severely mentally retarded? Sin requires knowledge and consent of the will. ”ALL” is a generalization, much like Matt. 2:3, where it says: When King Herod...

    Was Bible Possession banned by the Catholic Church

    That’s great – but it’s still just a theory. The fact is that there is NO evidence that the congregants of the recipients of the Epistles were all walking around with their own copies. Besides, the argument was that the Catholic Church kept the Bible away from the “common people” which is...

    The meaning of 666 and its identity

    Then, provide a Biblical refutation of my argument in post #19. That’s how a debate works. Petty denials without evidence mean NOYTING . . .

    Was Bible Possession banned by the Catholic Church

    In Acts 1, the Eleven Apostles and about 120 others gathered to elect a successor (NOT just a replacement) to Judas. Peter quotes the Psalm in verse 21: Acts 1:20 ‘Let another take his office.’ The Greek word used here for “office” is “Episkopay”, which means “Bishopric”. Peter was not only...

    The meaning of 666 and its identity

    Not according to the Bible . . . The Angel's greeting to Mary was very revealing. The Greek word is "Kecharitomene" that Luke used in his Gospel (v.1:28), which is the perfect passive participle, indicates a completed action with a permanent result. Thus it translates, “completely, perfectly...

    FALSE. The Epistles were READ ALOUD to the people, who were mostly illiterate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_education_in_ancient_Israel_and_Judah#:~:text=It%20has%20been%20estimated%20that,3%20percent%20or%207.7%20percent. It has been estimated that at least 90 percent of the...

    Was Bible Possession banned by the Catholic Church

    HUH?? Did the truth bother you? Anyway - Peter is the Rock. That's what "Peter" means (Kepha). The Catholic Church is the Original Tree from which Protestantism splintered - and continues to splinter to the tune of tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering factions that ALL...

    NOT quite as much as the ministers at YOUR Protestant factions are doing . . . How Protestant Churches Hid Sexual Abuse ...

    Was Bible Possession banned by the Catholic Church

    Do you guys ever think before you speak?? There is more Scripture recited at a Catholic Mass than at a typical Protestant service. Rom. 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ Show me the verse that says faith comes from owning and reading a Bible . . .

    Was Bible Possession banned by the Catholic Church

    YOU accuse me of historical “ignorance” – yet you STILL cling to the Tyndale myth as the truth. First of all – the Protestant myth that Tyndale was charged with heresy for simply translating the Bible into English is nonsense. Tyndale’s predecessor, John Wycliffe had produced a translation of...

    S*x = marriage? Genesis

    That's because the Catholic Church takes marriage more seriously than most. It is elevated as something holy and sacred - not just a simple matter of companionship. And just as God intended, divorce is NOT an option (Matt. 19:6). The Church recognizes that the Scriptures compare the...

    TRANSLATION: "Because of my abject ignorance of anything Biblical - I don't know how to respond to your rock-solid argument." Yup - that's what I thought . . .

    Was Bible Possession banned by the Catholic Church

    That’s a completely ignorant claim. Generally, the congregation does NOT read aloud from Scripture, as it is not part of the Liturgy. However, the congregation recites Scripture in the Responsorial Psalm during the Liturgy of the Word. I don’t know of any Protestant denominations that allow...
