Can you show me where the BIBLE teaches this? Chapter and Verse, please . . .

That was quite a rant. A load of manure – but quite a rant . . . FIRST of all – you are presuming that ALL Catholics are Baptized as babies. Secondly – you say that Baptism is ONLY for those old enough to consent – but that’s NOT what the Bible says: Acts 2:38-39 Peter replied, “Repent and be...

Soooo, according to YOUR logic – we should shun ALL Italians because of what pagan Rom did. THAT’s about as stupid as an anti-Semite referring to Jews as “Christ-killers”. YOU are just as guilty for the suffering and death of Jesus as ANY Roman or anybody els, for that matter. You should KNOW...

NOT in the first part of the verse – only in the second part: “Whatever you BIND (δήσῃς)…” “…will be held BOUND (δεδεμένον)” I DO study the Catechism. And in NOT place does it tell what to believe. It GUIDES me through the Scriptures and gives me 2000 years of constant living tradition with...

NOT sure what you’re barking about because I NEVER claimed to have the authority of the Apostles. Since the Apostles were the first Bishops (Acts 1:20), that is the role of a Bishop. As to your reference to Jude’s Epistle with regard toi the idea that all truth has already been revealed – where...

You can glean that interpretation from the text using past tenses – but the actual Greek text states clearly: καὶ ὃ ἐὰν δήσῃς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἔσται δεδεμένον ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν λύσῃς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἔσται λελυμένον ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς. And whatever you bind on earth WILL BE BOUND in heaven, and...

A couple of things – You are correct – Jesus came to FULFILL the Law, which is precisely what He did. Only ONE of the Commandments would be affected by this fulfillment – the one pertaining to a shadow, the Sabbath. Other than the first two - ALL of the other Commandments are about behavior and...

WRONG. Jesus tells THEM that whatever THEY have the power to bind or loose. This is why, at the Last Supper, He assures them that the Holy Spirit will guide them to ALL Truth (John 16:12-15). This is also why He breathed out the Holy Spirit upon them and gives them the power to forgive sins...

Why all of the blatant dishonesty from you guys with regard to prayer? You all know perfectly well that Catholics don’t worship ANYBODY other than God. If you DON’T know that – then I suggest you read the Catechism on the matter: Catechism of the Catholic Church - PART 3 SECTION 2 CHAPTER 1...

What part of “WHATEVER YOU bind or loose“, do you NOT understand? What part of “Whoever listens to YOU listens to ME. Whoever rejects YOU rejects ME. And whoever rejects ME rejects the ONE who sent ME", are you still having difficulty with?? We read in Acts 1:20 that the role of Apostle was am...

Jesus told His Apostles Matt 16:19, 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. At the Last Supper, He assured them: John 16:12-15 “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when...

And it was GOD who appointed those men to guard His Church as well as the Scriptures (Matt. 16L18-19, Matt. 18:15-18, Luke 10:16, John 16:12-15, John 20:21-23) and the entire Holy Deposit Faith .(1 Tim. 6:20). The Bible didn't just drop out of the sky . . .

Time for a Bible Lesson . . . First of all - "Satan" doesn't means the Devil. It simply means "adversary". Peter was making an adversarial comment and Jesus rebuked him for it. You ARE correct that Jesus doesn’t call anybody else this in the Gospel. When it comes to Peters – Jesus ALSO never...

Correct - there is no "Roman Catholic" denominaton - and there never was. There us the Cathollic Church, which hasa existed since the time of the Apostles. "Roman" (Latin) simply refers to one of about TWENTY Liturgical Rites that compreise the ONE Catholic Church. There is a Byzantine Rite...

If the Church "went away" in the early days, as YOU say - YOU wouldn't evena HAVE a Bible. It was the Catholic Church that declared the Canon of Scripture in the 4th century. It didn;'t just "nagically" appear. Christ's Church IS here - and has BEEN here for 2000 years - YOUR complete lack of...

Apparently, YOU don’t understand how the Church function. Allow me to educate you . . . Jesus left us with a Church that has the Authority to TEACH and to Baptize (Matt. 28:19-20). The church doesn’t “Tell” us what to believe – but rather, guides us in our walk with Christ by feeding us with...

We've ALREADY established that "Pray" simply means to ASK, to ENTREAT, to SUPPLICATE to a fellow human being. This is the primary definition. It is legal, juridical language that is used in court documents and police reports. It is in THIS sense that Catholics "Pray" to the saints in Heaven to...

In Rev. 21, we see the New Jerusalem, which is the Church coming down from Heaven. Verse 14 tells us that there are 12 foundations – and on each foundation, the name of each of the 12 Apostles. Peter is ALWAYS listed as “Protos” – FIRST among the Apostles – even though he was NOT the first...

He is THE Rock of Matt. 16:18. Abraham is THE Rock of Isa. 50:1-2. Jesus is THE Rock of Matt. 21:42, Mark 12:10, Luke 20:17, 1 Pet. 2:7, Acts 4:11 and other verses.

Your post if full of holes . . . Let’s start with Paul and the Council of Jerusalem: Acts 15:1-2 Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.” This brought Paul and...
