THANK YOU for publicly illustrating just how ignorant you are of Scripture. This passage is NOT about Jesus rejecting Tradition. He OBSERVED Oral Tradition - as I already showed you (Matt 23:2). In Mark 7:5-13 – Jesus is rebuking the PHARISEES – and NOT Tradition. He rebuked THEIR little...

Not sure where you get your ideas about the Catholic Church – but like 99% of there people here – you’re WRONG. We don’t get “excommunicated” for having differing views or following our conscience. In fact – we are encouraged to follow our conscience. The Church isn’t a prison for criminals –...

WHY should I? NEUTHER of those are official titles for Mary or considered Apostolic Tradition. Now – by the very SAME measuring stick – how about YOU showing ME where the following Protestant doctrines are named in the Bible: Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone) Sola Fide (Faith Alone) While you’re...

Okay - now, show me where the Bible says what YOU originally claimed “The oral statements have ALL been documented in the New Testament.” The passage above does NOT make this claim. There is NO expiration date on 2 Thess. 2:15. Go BACK to the drawing board . . .

Would it be more appealing to you if they had said “From us and our successors”?? Just because YOU don’t understand what Tradition is or HOW it begins – doesn’t mean that those in the 1st century didn’t, In MANY ways, they had MUCH more going for them than todays’ Protestants because not only...

Really? Show me the verse that makes this claim. The onus is on YOU to do so as a Sola Scripturist.

Where have YOU been for the last 2000 years?? It’s not ME or the existing Bishops who are pulling these Traditions out of thin air. We have a PAPER TRAIL that foes ALL the way back to the beginning called the Apostolic Fathers. These are men who were the first disciples of the Apostles. Men...

WRONG. Paul explicitly teaches that the ORAL traditions are as binding as Scripture, what is written. 2 Thess 2:15 "Stand firm and hold fast to the Traditions you were taught, whether by an ORAL STATEMENT or by a LETTER from us." You can try to weasel your way around this unti verse the COWS...

There is the Catholic Church and there are the Eastern Orthodox Churches. There is ONE Catholic Church, which is comprised of some twenty Liturgical Rites - which are in full communion. Similarly, the Eastern Orthodox Churches are not divided by different doctrines - but largely cultural...

It doesn’t appear that you even understand what Apostolic or Sacred Tradition even is. It does NOT require that I heard it straight from an Apostle. In the OT – the Word of God was conveyed by BOTH the written (Scripture) AND the Oral Tradition. Here are a few examples of this in the NT: Matt...

And YOU are making MY point by using an ignorant term like “all the RC Churches”. The World Christian Encyclopedia makes the mistake of labelling every single group as “denominations”. There are sites that attempt to debunk the “33,000 denomination” number, but they ALL use different, methods...

You’re ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. Traditions of MEN include: Sola Scriptura Sola Fide Accepting Jesus as “Personal Lord and Savior” . . . to name a few. The Sacred or Apostolic Traditions that are mentioned in Scripture are NOT mere “Traditions of Men” – but are as binding as Scripture (2 Thess. 2:15)...

And UNTIL you have absolute proof of something – WHY would you spread a rumor?? You have NO idea if this is true – so why would you go around claiming it as fact? Do you honestly believe that God approves of this kind of behavior??

Yes – but not on ONE post. The site won’t allow for that many characters. By the way – the source for the “tens of thousands” is a a PROTESTANT source – The World Christian Encyclopedia, by David B. Barrett, was published in 1982 by Oxford University Press.

Although your post above doesn’t make much grammatical sense – I THINK I know what you’re trying to say. Suffice it to say that Sola Scriptura – in ALL of its definitions and examples that you showed is a man-made invention and NOT a Biblical teaching. To put it plainly – the idea that the...

And I’m SURE that you can provide documented proof for this. If you can’t – then this is just another one of your unsubstantiated LIES. I’ll wait right here for your proof . . .

I read this rant 3 times before I decided to respond – and I STILL don’t know WHAT the heck you’re talking about . . .

But the Holy Spirit is GOD – and that’s who is guiding the Church to ALL truth (John 16:12-15). Hogwash. First of all – in 1 Pet. 5:13, Peter alludes to being in Rome (Babylon). Secondly – I’m not sure which letter you’re referring to as “proof” that he wasn’t in Rome – the UNANIMOUS testimony...

There are several things wrong with your post. First of all – your idea that the Catholic Church teacjes that Bisho9ps are infallible is dead wrong. This teaching is ONLY extended to the Bishop of Rome, the Pope. And it is ONLY when he is speaking ex cathedra on matters of faith and morals...

WOW - what a load of ignorance – Biblical AND historical. The false idea that the Catholic Church was on the side of the Nazis during WWI ia based largely on the overtly anti-Catholic play, The Deputy (1963) by German playwright, Rolf Hochhuth. NOTHING could be further from the truth. Not...
