    Well, If you can’t stand the heat – I think you know the rest . . .

    The PURPOSR of the Sabbath for the Jews and the REASON for keeping it holy is NOT because it was the day that God rested. It is because He gave it to THEM to rest and to pray: Ex 16:23-30 He said to them, “This is what the Lord commanded: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of sabbath rest, a holy sabbath...

    Just giving him some advice – that maybe YOU should heed as well: If you don’t know what you’re talking about – or WHY you believe it – then don’t bring it up in a conversation. It makes you look like a fool . . .

    WRONG. The Sabbath isn’t even mentioned in Scripture until Exodus 16 – and it points to the EUCHARIST. The very FIRST mention of the Sabbath in ALL of Scripture is when the Israelues are in the desert Ex 16:23-30. God commands them to take a day of rest and eat what they gathered. WHAT did...

    If you DON’T know “what happened” or WHEN “it happened” – and you are willing to walk away from Christ’s Church WITHOUT knowing – then your faith is pathetic. Not only do you NOT know who Constantine was – you have absolutely NO idea what you THINK he did to the Church. And if you think he...

    Rev. 12:17 doesn’t say, “remnant”. The Greek word used in Rev. 12:17 is Λοιποθ (loy-poy'), which is defined as “the rest” - which your SDA sect has absolutized as “remnant” and added a strict definition to it. What this word does NOT do is to convey an exact replica of the 1st century Church...

    And if you actually READ your Bible – you would know that it is largely SILENT ojn this matter. The belief or disbelief in evolution is really a matter of Faith – and NOT what is explicitly on the pages of Scripture. That being said - I tend to AGREE with you on the matter – but I do NOT...

    Many DO focus on it. That’s my point – the many different doctrines of the many different factions of Protestantism. My point is the NAME, “Altar Call” – not the practice of conversion. I’m talking about “sacrifice” as something WE do because Jesus’s sacrifice did it ALL. Protestants reject...

    This sentence makes ABSOLUETLY NO sense. Please rewrite it using correct grammar . . . That’s funny. For about 10 days now, I’ve been asking YOU why YOU cling to the Catholic Tradition of the New Testament Canon – And you have been completely UNABLE to answer me. HOW is it that you reject my...

    Sola scriptura?

    After your FALSE statement above in RED, you rant became so broken and psychotic that I honestly don’t know what you were trying to say. Suffice it to say, the Pope does NOT teach that one doesn’t have to believe in Jesus. So, the onus is on YOU to produce the statement or the document.

    Sola scriptura?

    WRONG. He could make a guess about who will win the Superbowl and NOBODY would be bound to believe it. The Catholic Church does NOT teach that a Pope is impeccable – just infallible when teaching ono matters of faith and morals. Peter was wrong when he wouldn’t eat with Gentiles – and Paul let...

    Altar Calls – the part of the service when people come up to the front of the church and surrender their lives to Christ. Protestants reject the very notion of “sacrifice” – yet they use this term, “Altar” call, when there is NO altar in their churches. Invisible Church – The idea that the...

    Sola scriptura?

    WHO said that I agree with everything the Pope says? I‘m NOT bound as a Catholic to do that. I am ONLY bound to adhere to what he teaches officially – and he has NOT officially taught anything contrary to the Faith. He has some other ideas that I completely disagree with – such as open borders...

    I clarified what Jesus said in that passaged because YOU perverted it. And I’m WELL within my rights to admonish ANYONE who perverts the Word of God – especially when you twist the Scriptures to your OWN destruction (2 Pet. 3:16).

    First of all – I didn’t see ONE sentence about how you “value Catholics as your brothers and sister”. Instead, I saw THIS: “So please, don't try to push your "Catholic only" faith to me or anyone.” I wasn’t trying to push anything on ANYONE. To call the 1st century Catholic, Ignatius of...

    If you’re are looking for a Church that is “identical” to the 1st century Church – then you are looking for the WRONG thing. Christ’s Church is the Mustard Seed that because the large Mustard Plant – the Acorn that because the Oak. It CANNOT and SHOULD NOT look like the Church in the 1st...

    What a bankrupt and ignorant interpretation of the Word of Christ. In this passage, He is NOT saying, “I came here to cause division within my Church – and that’s a GOOD thing!” He is saying that those who follow Him will be ostracized from their loved ones who DON’T follow Him. The “division”...

    The writings of Ignatius give us a window into what the 1st century Church looked like. So, whether you like him or not – his writings ARE important to Christians today. YOU’VE simply chosen to wear historical blinders because of your deranged hatred of the Catholic Church. The word for that...

    If you can date a document PRIOR to Ignatius’s letter at the turn of the 2nd century – we’ll talk. UNTIL then – your case doesn’t hold water. We also have the Epistle of Clement, circa, 95 AD. to the Church in Corinth. Clement was the Bishop of ROME (the Pope) and was ruling on a matter in...

    FALSE. It is ONLY the Catholic Church that can trace its roots back to Jesus and the apostles. No other Church can make this claim – except for the EOC, which was part of the ONE Catholic Church before the East-West split. NO OTHER CHURCH has the historical OR doctrinal paper trail that the...
