    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    I have a better question: Can you show me a SINGLE ministry in the OT or NT that wasn't successive? The OT Levitival (inisterial) priesthoos was successive. The same if true for the NT Ministerial proesthood. In the Old Testament, there were THREE levels of Priests: - The High Priest - The...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    That's very charitable of you. I have NO problrm discussing differebces between Cathollic and Protestant teachings - but we should try to stay focused on being truthful. Thanks.

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    Like I said - Mortal sin which involves grave matter, full knowledge and full consent. Grabe matter can involve any violation of the Commandments - depending on the severity. For example - stealing a pencil from work wouldn't be grave matter. However, embezzling large sums pof money would...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    Does it make one "wonder" about the efficacy of Protestant disciplines - given the evidence I presented in post #10?

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    No - your understanding is incorrect. A Catholic is required to confess to a priest if he has committed a mortal sin. Mortal sin involved grave matter, full knowledge and full consent.

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    Apparently, you didn't read post #10, where I ;aid out a Scriptural argument for this. Why don't you read it - then give me a sound Scriptural refutation instead of your usual hit-and-run denials. I'll waith right here for your well-researched response . . .

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    That's your favorite hit-and-run mantra - but NEVER an explanation as to WHY . . .

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    Sooooo, Jesus - who is GOD, by the way - cannot transfer power to whomever He wishes?? Time for a Bible Lesson . . . John 20:21-23 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent ME, so I send YOU.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    Like I said before - the Catholic Church taught the WOORLD about Jesus Christ, per Matt. 28:19. The fact that YOU do't know your history only magnifies yoiur ignorance. The following is from a fellow Catholic brother, Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch - who was a lifelong disciple of the Apostle...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    Not only do Catholics understand that salvation is found ONLY in Jests Christ - WE taught the WORLD about this (Matt. 28:19). As for "Eternally Secure" - that was a 16th century invention of your Protestant Fathers. The Bible - which is the inerrant Word of Almighty God repeatedly warms...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    So much ignorance and dishonesty - it's difficult to know just where to begin - but here goes . . . As to WHAT Scripture is - WHO said that it was anythinhg other than the Bible?? The Catholluc Church gave YOU and the rest of the world the Canon of Scripture. 2 Tim. 3:16 indeed sayes the all...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    Then, perhaps you can show me ehere the Bble itself teaches that the Bible alone is our SOLE Authority. Chapter and Verse, please. As for the Didache - it is an historical Chiurch dpcument regarding the teachings of the Twelve Apostles - whil they were STILL alive when it was written. And...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    2 Pet. 1:20 ... knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. Jesus gave His innrt circle - the leaders of His Church supreme earthly Authority (Matt. 16:18-19, Matt. 19:15-18, Luke 10:16. John 20:21-23). He said that WHATEVER they bound or...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    This question ius conpletely irrelevant and PROVES that Sola Scripturs is false. First of all - the Bible is NOT a dictionary and does NOT define Baptism in every case. Secondly - The Didache (Teachings of the Twelve Apostles - AD 60), which was written while the Apostles were STILL ALIVE...

    And don't think I didn't norice that you failed to answer the question I asked of you: WHICH Protestant sect is the doctrinally-correct one, based on YOUR criteria?

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    Lying comes so easy to some of you guys that you don't even realize that you're doing it. As I told you before - I haven't lied. I haven't called you ANY names I haven't used ANY offensive OR profane language. I challenge yoiu to show me SINGLE a post on this thread where I did ANY of this to...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    Well, first of all - I haven't lied. Secondly - I haven't called you ANY names Thirdly - I haven't used ANY offensive OR profane language. That's THREE LIES on your part . . . I asked you TWO questions. I also asked you: WHICSH sect is the doctrinally-correct one, based on YOUR criteria?

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    This is my reaction towards a blatant falseh Lies should offend a true believer - but apparently, they don't offernd YOU . . . Ummmmm, then, WHICH one of the tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering Protestant sects is the "perfect" one? WHICH sect is the doctrinally-correct...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    Then, point me to a SINGLE instance where I "deflected". The patheic truth is that you've been Scripturally-spanked and it bothers you. As for "name calling" - I haven't called you ANY names. Boy - talk about "deflecting" . . .
