    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    Christ is not the head of a perpetually-splintering gaggle of doctrinally-divided groups and millions of "Lone Ranger" agents like yourself. He us the Head of ONE Body - ONE Church. As for your last bit of nonsense - in your usual hypocritical stule - you never learn that the peoblem is FAR...

    Believing in Jesus Christ Is How We Are Saved

    Once again – whether or not there were some Pops in history who were “bad” men is irrelevant. God CAN and HAS worked His will through evil men and will continue to do so at His pleasure. It’s NO different from the good He has worked through evil men within Protestantism. I don’t “apply”...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    Some Protestant denominations believe in baptismal regeneration, while others do not. Some believe in soul-sleep, while others do not. Some believe in the total depravity of man, while others do not. Some believe in the Holy Trinity, while others do not. Some believe in doctrine of “once saved...

    Believing in Jesus Christ Is How We Are Saved

    Not at ALL. I rebuke false teachers publibly, per the Scriptures . . . Eph. 5:11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. 1 Tim. 5:20 . As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear. So, don't pervert...

    Believing in Jesus Christ Is How We Are Saved

    Wrong. I was merely pointing out the complete hypocrisy of YOUR post for asking the idiotic question - "What faith did these evil Popes had?"" - by showing you some of the sins of your Protestant leaders. Nope - I leave the judgement of souls up to GOD. That's HIS job - not mine, OR yours. I...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    And that is the tradedy of Protestantism - tens of thousands of peerpetually-splintering sects that ALL decide for themselves what is "sifficient for ME" based on their individually perverted interpretations of Scripture. What a mess . . . HUH??:confused:

    Believing in Jesus Christ Is How We Are Saved

    THANK YOU for once again illustrating your total ignorance of the Scriptures. You never fail to completely bungle a Scriptural passage . . . Even a NOVIE to the Scriptures knows that Paul was referring to the Gnostic heretics here in 1 Tim. 4. It was the Gnostics who forbade certain foods...

    Believing in Jesus Christ Is How We Are Saved

    Why dows that matter? What kind of faith did Judas have? There have been evil men within the Church from the very beginning - and Jesus WARNED about them. This doesn't mean that the entire Church is eviol. What kind of faith do all of the bad Protestant pasaters have? Evangelicals ‘worse’...

    Believing in Jesus Christ Is How We Are Saved

    Why did you STOP there? Read on to verse 10 . . . Eph. 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. In verses 8 & 9 - Paul is talking about works ALONE. which are worthless. God created works of faith for...

    Believing in Jesus Christ Is How We Are Saved

    First of all – James isn’t ONLY talking about works of faith as they pertain to the poor. He speaking of WHAT constitutes true faith. That’s why he compares the kind of faith YOU think is genuine with what the demons possess (James 2:19). James is simply parroting what Jesus said about...

    Believing in Jesus Christ Is How We Are Saved

    This is absolute anti-Biblical nonsense. First of all "Faith" is NOT just "believing". As I educated you on my last post - even the DEMONS believe in God and tremble (James 2:19). Are THEY saved?? Secondly - As Jesus (Matt. 7:21, Matt. 28:21-46), James (James 2:14-26) and Paul (1 Cor...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    I'm not "anti-Protestant" because I don't make up lies about what you believe. Shame that the same can't be said about anti-Catholics like YOU . . .

    It's NOT - and it doesn't make this claim.

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    "Thoroughly furnished unto good works" is NOT the same as "sussifient for spiritual knowledge". It's PROFITABLE/USEFUL for doctrine, reproof, correction or instruction. Learn how to properly divide Scripture. It's NOT up for grabs . . . "Spiritualk knowledge"?? This was a question about...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    Where dors the Bible make this claim for itself? 2 Tim. 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and PROFITABLE for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness It's "Profitable" or "Useful" - but NOY sufficient as our SOLE Authority on doctrine OR history. Besides...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    Yes - anti-Catholics. They're the onrd who can't articulate a valid argument - so they make upo lies instead . . .

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    Since the Bible isn't the only historical reference - the better question is: Have either of you found ANY testimony from ANYONE in the first few centuries that Pater wasa NOT in Rome?

    Believing in Jesus Christ Is How We Are Saved

    And what does the Bible define asa "Believing" in Jesus Christ? Remember - even the DEMONS belive in the truths about God (James 2:19). No - "believing" in christ meand DOING what He says. Matt. 7:21 states firmly: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    And this is precisely the type of NONSENSE that is indiccative of a beginner’s understanding of Scripture. Perhaps another Bible Lesson is needed here . . . First of all – James NEVER says that ALL sin is the same – or as YOU pu it, “stealing is just as evil as murdering someone”. James was...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    And, as I stated in post #306 - it was the UNANIMOUS testimony of the Early Church that not only was Peter IN Rome - but that he was its first Bishop. I have posted SOME of them below. So - are YOU prepared to make the claim that ALL of the ECFs were "lying" and simply part of a giant...
