    Why the Bible?

    Another great book on the subject is Where wWe Got The Bible-Out Debt To The Catholic Church by Rev, Henry G. Graham. It's a short read - but packed with information.

    Why the Bible?

    NOT sure where you got your information – but I can only hazard to guess that it was from a Protestant source. Unfortunately for you – this information is not only incomplete – some of it is false and misleading . . . For example: 1. The Bible IS inspired by God – but HOW do you know this? In...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    And once agaoin - whe YOU read the Bible for YOURSELF and your neighbor reads the Bible for HIMSELF and you both come to opposite interpretations - WHO is right? Apparently, you don't understand that this is exactly what has happened under Protestantism. This is the WHY there are so many...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    Because they are great examples of true faith. Faith is ONE thing - but giving up your life in the service of Christ is on another level. As the Body of Christ - the martyrs and saints are family members - even in a more radical way than your husband, children or parents are. Do YOU have...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    And just like the Jews before us - Cathollics don't bow down to and worship statues or paintings, That s simply a long-held anti-Catholic lie that you've been weend on. Worshipping images is strictly forbidden by the 2nd Commandment. Ummmm - that's because idol worship is a SIN and is...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    Really? How fast did things get "cleaned up" after the Protestant Revolt in the 16th century when people decided to inject their personal interpretations into every vers of Scripture? Tell me - which one of the tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering Protestant sects that...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    The FIRST thing you need to remember about the Commandments is that they are NOT numbered in the Bible – either in Exodus 20, where they first appear – or in Deut. 5, where they are reiterated. Numbering them is a man-made addition. In the Catholic listing, the 2nd Commandment of “You shall not...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    If you're looking for the WORD, "Purgatory" - you're right. It's NOT in Scripture. HOWEVER, neither is "Incarnation", "Trinity" - or even "Bible". The TEACHING about Final purificatioon (Purgatory) IS in Scripture . . . Scriptural support for Purgatory includes: ‐ Praying for the dead ‐ 2...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    Leave it to YOU, in the depths of your ignorance, to use a verse of Scripture that is completely irrelevant to the Catholic Church as an entiry. But - what can one expect from a hater of God's Word? These are ALL Catholic teachings because it was the Catholic Church who gave YOU the Canon of...

    Fasting is an important part of Christianity

    Correct. Paul calls these disciplines of the flesh, “mortification” because by this denial of the body, we die to the flesh so as to live in the spirit: Rom. 8:13 "If you live after the flesh, you shall die, but if through the spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live."...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    SAD, actually, when all you've done is pervert it. No, it became confusion for Protestants - to the tune of tens of thousands of perpetually-splintering sects with different and competing doctreins - because too many pridefun MEN with ideas of their own sought to re-invent the Church. We DO...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    And where did I say that the Epistle of James was ONLY for Jewish Christians?? I said that the CONTEXT of James is that he is speaking to Jewish Chrisitnas so undeerstood that there IS a diversity of sin according to the Law - regardless of what you Protestants believe. Cathollics understand...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    Yes - your usual response after I've exposed your ignorance . . . Yes,your uninformed response for my trounding of the unbiblical Protestabt invention of Sola Scriptura is noted. READING Scripture is not the problem. Perverting it is where the problem lies - and Protestantism has done this to...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    That Scripture is "profitable" ot authoritative is not the issue. The idea that it is ALL we need is simply a 16th century Protestant invention thaat has ZERO basis in the very Scriptures that YOU puport to be our "Sole" Authority. YOU and the others have failed to produce the evidence - but...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    Ummmmm, first of all - the Scripture that is being referred to - if ANY, is the OT - and NONE of these verses ewven implies that the Scriptures (that qhich is written) is sufficient. When the OT speaks of the "Law and the Prophets" - it is describing BOTH Scripture AND Tradition. For you to...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    NOWHERE does Scripture make this claim - as YOU have repeatedly failed to produce the verse.. Scripture DOSE say that you shouldn't LIE (Exod. 20:16, Prov. 19:9, Rev. 21:8) - so maybe you'd better stop . . .

    Believing in Jesus Christ Is How We Are Saved

    And I echo the sentiment - minus all of the unbiblical "Pre-Trib Rapture" nonsense.
