    Thank you for that illustration of the process of Final Purification (Purgatory) in 1 Cor. 3:1-15. However - it doesn't address the point that Baptism is only the beginning for a Christian - and not the "SOLE criteria" for salvation, as YOU asserted..

    His CHURCH, whos job it is to teach the masses (Matt. 28:19-20). THANK YOU for pointing out the fact that Jesus was speaking to "80+" disciples in Luke 10:16. Do you have ANY idea WHO these men were? I didn't think so. Allow me to educate you again . . . They were the oringinal leaders of...

    Catholics; Do You Believe This?

    Yup - unfortunately, YOU and the tens of thousands of others who created this never-ending slew of perpetually-splintering sects ALL make the same claijm - yet you ALL arrive at different conclusions. Jesus left the "Teaching" up to His CHURCH - and NOT to the individual . . . Matt. 28:19-20 Go...

    Catholics; Do You Believe This?

    That's not for me to judge. I can ONLY go by the words of Jesus and His Church - to whom He gave supreme eqarthly Authority (Matt. 16:18-19, Matt. 18:15-18, Luke 10:16, John 16:12-15, John 20:21-23). This is what JESUS said: Luke 10:16 Whoever listens to YOU listens to ME. Whoever rejects YOU...

    Twelve Quotations from Ten Protestant Biblical Scholars (cont'd.) Suzanne de Dietrich Presbyterian theologian The play on words in verse 18 indicates the Aramaic origin of the passage. The new name contains a promise. ‘Simon’, the fluctuating, impulsive disciple, will, by the grace of God, be...

    Only in the eyes of the ignorant. Those who are more educated in Biblical languages like Aramaic and Greek, however prove you WRONG. Oh - and NONE of these guys are Catholics . . .

    Catholics; Do You Believe This?

    FALSE. Baptism is NOT the “SOLE criteria” for entering into Heaven – and neither the Bible nor the Church has ever taught this. Baptism is only the beginning for a Christian. If you don’t faithfully endure to the end, having cooperated with God’s grace - you WON’T be saved.

    Catholics; Do You Believe This?

    Another complete misrepresentation of Catholic teaching. The Church doesn't "make" anybody a priest and doesn't claim this. Christ does.

    Catholics; Do You Believe This?

    We are born again at Baptism (John 3:5) - but it doesn't stop there. We must live our lives iin cooperation woth God's grace and endure in faith until the end (Matt. 7:19-23, Matt. 10:22, Matt. 24:13, Matt. 25:31–46, John 15:1-6, Rom. 11:22, 1 Cor. 9:27, 1 Cor. 4:4, 1 Tim. 4:1, Heb. 3:6, Heb...

    Catholics; Do You Believe This?

    And now' we're back to persecutions - which YOU yourself have admitted was not just a "Catholic" thing. There is enough blame to go around for just about everybody. How can you expect to have an intelligent conversation - while speaking out of BOTH sides of your mouth??

    Catholics; Do You Believe This?

    Look around you. I don't know what color the sjy is in YOUR world - but but the Catholic Church has ZERO temporal power in the U.S. and around the world. If if DID - things like abortion would be non-existant. Whether YOU choose to admit it or not - the Catholic Church IS and always HAS been...

    Catholics; Do You Believe This?

    Correct - Jesus DOES desire the Unity of all Christians. And ALL Chriustians need to come home to His ONE Church. As for ALL of us being priests - in the Old Testament, there were three levels of Priests: - The High Priest (Lev. 16, Haggai 1:12-14 S). - The Levitical/Ministerial Priesthood...

    I should have known you'd post something this ignorant. Allow me to educate you . . . "Synonym" does NOT mean that it is an exact definition of another word. According to Webster's Collegiate Dictionary: Frequently Asked Questions About venerate How does the verb venerate differ from other...

    Utter nonsense - and historically-bankrupt. There were Protestants murdering hunfreds of thousands of Catholics as well through the ages. Ummm, what period would you call that?
