Wrong. He is the Truth (John 14:6) - but His CHURCH is the Pillar and Foundation of that Truth (1 Tim. 3:15). Jesus equates His very SELF with His Church (Acts 9:4-5). I see where that may have confused you . . .

You and about 38,000 perpetually-splintering Protestant sects that ALL teach different doctrines - yet ALL claim to have been "led" to this confusion by the "True Shepherd". WHY do you think that is?? Do you honestly believe that Jesus 'leads" all these factions to teach different doctrines...

No - it's on the individual. There are people in every PROTESTANT denomination who are ignorant of their faith as well. This is not an exclusively "Catholic" problem. I worked with a girl whom I was able to easily convince leaving the SDA sect and return to the Church because of her ignorance...

Well - that explains your ignorance. It's been my experience that the people who are MOST ignorant of Catholic teaching are EX-Catholics. I've debated Atheists who know more about what Catholics believe and teach than those who left from an abject ignorance of the faith.

No - I'm just a student of history. And if you don't understand WHY dissenters of ANY kind were bad news for the running of a kingdom and were de3alt with harshly - then crack open a history book . . .

THANK YOU for proving my my point. You completely dodged the issues that we were discussing because your entire argument COLLAPSED under Scriptural and linguistic scrutiny. As for the rest of your rant - I've been accused MANY times by people like you on this forum of being "rude" or...

Uhhhh, no - just because YOU reject the definition of what constitutes a "Ritual" - doesn't make you right. It simply shows that because you LOST an argument - you will redefine what it means.. This is a textbook example of relativism . . . A Baptism ceremony is a RITUAL . . . A wedding...

An anathema is a Biblical disciplinary prescription for unruly or heretical behavior (1 Cor. 5:5, 1 Tim. 1:20). As for your charge that the Church officially "blackmailed" rulers to murder dissenters - you have an ignorant view of history. Dissenters was a concern of the STATE because they were...

If all you need is a definition of "Blasphemy" - then it's a gross disrespect or blatant irreverence for God and that which is holy.

To answer your question, once again - I am offended by the LIES pf anti-Catholic posters. It doesn't matter to me ONE bit if a person simply "disagrees" with Catholic teaching because we can have a civil conversation about the issue. However - an anti-Catholic is a person who ALWAYS resorts to...

Says the guy who belongs to one of tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering Protestant factions that ALL teach different doctrines based on the personal interpretations of Scripture of their different human founders. Soooo - if YOU guys are "right" and we're "wrong" - WHY all...

"Events"?? That's a cop-out. They are RITUALS - and every Christian parttakes in them, not just Catholics. I also noticed how you DODGED the other points I made against your original list of gripes, namely Taditions and Repetitious Prayer - BOTH for which I showed Biblical precedent. And the...

Great. Sooooo, perhaps, you can show me where the Bible tells us WHICH Books belong in it. Can you show me that verse? While you're at it - can you point me to the pages that teach Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Limited Atonement and accepting Jesus as "Personal Lord and Savior"? Chapter and...

That's NOT what the Bible says . . . Regarding your rejection of Repetitious Prayer - - In Matt. 26:44, Christ prayed the exact same prayer - THREE times in the Garden of Gethsemane after the Last Supper. - In the Parable of the Determined Widow in Luke 18:7, Jesus emphatically states that...

I'm not sure why you're asking me that question. I haven't accuses anyone of blasphemy here.

It ABSOLUTELY matters. Why do YOU follow the 27 Books of the NT that the Catholic Church declared inspired? Why do YOU follow Luther's Canon of the OT with 7 DELETED Books?

That wasn't the Holy Spirit talking to you - because the Holy Spirit says: 1 Cor. 1:2-3 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles 1 Cor. 2:2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except...

Show me ANY other example where "either/or" does NOT imply equality. WRONG again. There was NEVER an official Canon prior to the Council of Rome in 382. Study your history, son . . .

Better yet - get Ralph Woodrow's follow-up book The Babylon connection? - where he REFUTES his previous book, Babylon Mystery Religion and APOLOGIZES for having written it in the first place. And by the way - the Jews and Pagan Rome condemned Jesus - not the CHURCH in Rome, Einstein . . .

Soooo, the golden angels were ALIVE? Do you know how ridiculous you sound? They were hunks of gold - nor real Angels. The Angels in the Temple were just statues - not real Angels. The Crucifux on my wall at home is a hunk of wood and metal - it's not really Jesus hanging there. However - God...
