Are you of the belief that "If it's not in the Bible- we can't celebrate or observe something"? Can you show me where this is taught in the Bible? Chapter and Verse, please . . . PS - and Barney's post IS hogwash, as I amply proved . . .

Secular traditions surrounding Easter are inevitable. HOWEVER - Easter Eggs are of CHRISTIAN origin, Einstein. Pay attention . . . The Easter Egg tradition comes NOT from pagan bunnies ot fertility gods - butt from the ancient traditions surrounding the Lenten Season. Meat was not the only...

Unfortunately, Barney's "thesis" is historical HOGWASH. His claim that "Easter got it's first official start on 325AD which was long after Jesus resurrection" is nonsense. Time for a History Lesson . . . First off - all we need to do to refute this fairy tale is to point to the 2nd century...

Actually - I wonder even MORE hoq seemingly-intelligent people could actually beieve that the English word, "Easter" could have anything to do with a pagan godess. The idea that it was named after a goddess named "Ishtar" or some other goddess named "Oestra", "Eoster", etc. is nonsense for...

This is why practicing the 16th century Protestant invention of Sola Scriptura is so UNBIBLICAL. The people of God - whether the Jews in the OT or the Christians in the NT relied on Tradition as well as Scripture for God's revelation. 2 Thess 2:15 "Stand firm and hold fast to the Traditions...

Cool. Can you point me to the actual POST where you "refuted" my position?

The Jews in the OT relied on Tradtion as well as Scripture for God's revelation. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

When I read posts like this - posts with absolutly NO attempt to refute my position - I realize that you've run OUT of gas. A thousande denials don't amount to a SINGLE intelligent argument . . .

Your false charges of "Pantheism" with regard to LAUDATO SI are pathetic. You purposely take the poetic language used in this encyclical that harkens back to Francis of Assisi's “Canticle of the Sun” and attribute some sort of pagan message tout. That’s quite a stretch. According to YOU –...

This entire post is an exercise in ignorance. Let’s start with the fat that Jesus and the Apostles spoke Aramaic – NOT Greek. Jesus didn’t call ANYONE “Petra” or “Petros”. He used the ONLY word for “Rock” in Aramaic, which is “Kepha”. As I already mentioned – this is why Paul refers to him NOT...

Can you elaborate? HOW is this a false conclusion? I have you THREE Scriptural exanples of how a single metaphor can be used for two thngs. Where did I go wrong?

Please elaborate.

I don't doubt that. The Church doesn't teach that ONLY Catholics will be saved.

And I wouod ask them to provide documentation as I have.

As I said - I already addressed this in post #33.

REALLY? Show me a document that indicates this. Here's ine that says you're wrong from a FIRST century Bishop: Ignatius of Antioch Follow your bishop, every one of you, as obediently as Jesus Christ followed the Father. Obey your clergy too as you would the apostles; give your deacons the same...

There is no "Roman" Catholic Church. There is only the Catholic Church. "Roman" or "Latin" simply refers to a Liturgical Rite. There are about TWENTY Liturgical Rites that comprice the ONE Catholic Church.

Soooooo, how many tears after Peter's death was the Catholic Church founded?

If I has known that one of YOUR posts could save me - why do I need God? Talk about arrogance . . .

I did and I already explained it in post #33. You obviously didn't READ it . . .
