Thanks Ferris. Here is where you and your Protestant friends go wrong. Scripture makes it clear there IS a centralized church authority: Jesus said he will build a Church (“I will build My Church”) His choice of Peter as the foundation, or head, of this Church Christ confers on Peter his own...

Hey John Paul, I wonder what would happen if a "church" advertised that they are welcoming of all adulterers, and you are allowed to bring the person you are having the adulteress affair with to the church services? Who would openly attend that? And would there be a public outcry? Mary

Whoa, hold on there! Certainly, you realize that once a 'local' Catholic church breaks away from The Catholic Church.....they are no longer Catholic? They then become Protestant since they are in "protest". The Catholic Church still remains singular. It didn't all of a sudden become plural...

I don't understand your metaphor......sooooo are you going to explain it????? Patient Mary

Thanks. I thinks its fair to say that Jerome believes that bishops and presbyters are one in the same office and that traditionally the reason why some bishops were elevated above others was to avoid schism. I think Jerome also recognizes what Scripture says about tradition: 2 Thessalonians...

You got it backwards marksman. The Catholic Church was teaching doctrine/dogma/truth etc before the Protestant churches came up with their multiple different doctrine's/dogmas/truth etc. Sooooo it is you protestants who, for the last 500 years, have railed against and criticize the teachings of...

Lol...hold on....HOLD ON Amigo!!! Here is what the passage we are debating says: “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” And YOU twist that into 'Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried...

You did mention purgatory....Thank you.

I already said that kiddo.......Rember? Post #170: I think I'm done with you wrangler..

And their is "unity" between Gods word and what you preach???? Hmmmmm.......

You and @Wrangler are WRONG again Kiddo. Not only does Marymog disagree with your theory but Jesus does also: Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them...

English man....ENGLISH!!

Hebrews 13:7, 17 1 Peter 5:5 2 Peter 3:16

Wrangler is full of opinion. He is exhausting....:rolleyes:

Exhausted? We each see images in our own way based on our life experiences so I'm seeing the image as her being exhausted! Did I get it right? :rolleyes:

Hmmmmm....sooooo YOU say that the sign of peace during Mass is a doctrine that you miss. I point out that THE FACT that it's NOT a doctrine and that is considered an attack? Pointing out FACTS = ATTACK'S :rolleyes: I think I'm done with you wrangler......Thank you for your time! :)

Sooooo I asked you if you could "show me in Scripture....". You didn't, couldn't, can't etc. because there is no Scripture to back up your theory.

If you think that you have been attacked then you must have some very strong feelings about it. Can you just explain those feelings so I can better understand how I attacked you? Otherwise your accusation is baseless......

Thanks Amadeus. Paul wrote to a student of his (Timithy): You then, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus; 2 and what you have heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others as well. Do not neglect the gift that is in you...

Hi Jane, In my original response I should have addressed everything you wrote, and I didn't do that. I remember at the time I knew it would be a waste of time for me to do so but I should have let you know that. I apologize. So, at your request, I will address it now: I think you have this...
