The Catholic Church doesn't teach this. Protestant Baptism IS valid, as long as it is, as @Illuminator stated - correct form, the correct matter, and the correct intention.

Ummmm, first of all - in John 8, Jesus tells the PHARISEES - the Jewish LEADERS that their father is the devil - NOT the Jews in general. Jesus was rebuking them after they challenged him. As for the Muslims - they don't worship Satan. They worship the God of Abraham and Ishmael. Are they...

First of all - you have an asinine and childish understanding of what other religions believe. Muslims DON'T worship Satan - and neither do the Jews. And from the depths of your abject ignorance, maybe you should know that Christianity came FROM Judaism and is the fulfillment of it (Matt...

A little advice: If you're going to be an anti-Catholic - TRY to be an honest one . . . Your statements above are as idiotic and childish as they get. First of all - Muslims and Jews DO worship the same God. If you believe that He is a different God than the one WE believe - then you reject...

Spoken like the guy babbling to himself in the corner that nobody is paying attention to . . .

The point is that it is NOT the "Roman" Catholic Church. I think you just resent being corrected. So, next time - do your homework. It's as ignorant as say8ing the "United States of Kansas" . . .

That's "The Catholic Church" - and there is only ONE. "Roman" simply refers to ONE of about TWENTY Liturgical Rites that comprise the ONE Catholic Church. Some of the others include the Melkite, Byzantine, Maronite, Alexandrian, Coptic, etc. - and they are ALL part of the ONE Catholic Church...

Once again - what's the "Roman" Catholic Church?

Thank you for illustrating your woeful ignorance of the Scriptures. Time for a Bible Lesson . . . For starters - the use of the word "until" in Matt. 1:25 says NOTHING of what happened afterward. As a matter of fact - there are SEVERAL instances in Scripture where this word is used WITHOUT any...

Do you mean the Catholic church? What's the "Roman" Catholic Church?

This is nonsense. YOUR attempt to nullify the promises of Christ based on the sins of some men within His Church is as ludicrous as trying to delegitimize Christ Himself for having chosen Judas as one of the first leaders of His Church - whom He later called a "devil" (John 6:70-71). The sins...

Since you seem to have missed it the first time around - I already obliterated your objections back in post #333. Gee - it's NO WONDER you ignored it, but here it is again . . . The Apostles. In Acts 1, when they gathered to choose a replacement for Judas - Peter quotes Psalm 109, when he...

The Apostles. In Acts 1, when they gathered to choose a replacement for Judas - Peter quotes Psalm 109, when he says: Acts 1:20 "Let another take his office." The Greek word used here for "office" is "Episkopay", which means BISHOPRIC. This was NOT a temporary replacement - but a succession of...

And which verses would those be? Then WHY were a number of the Legates who presided over the council NOT of the Order of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits)? Or, is it simply that, as a disciple of the false prophet, Ellen G. White, you like throwing the word, "Jesuit" around like it's supposed to...

An YOU tell ME not to change the subject. You're the poster boy for hypocrisy . . .

Ummmmm, are you going to tell that to @CadyandZoe, whose constant Catholic bashing on this thread is the REASON this conversation went off-topic? OR, are you simply gonna go the easy route and attack the Catholic?

And this is precisely the reason I don't debate with people who are too cowardly to fight their own battles. Incidentally - it was your fellow ignorant anti-Catholic, @CadyandZoe who took this conversation off-topic. Why not complain to him/her?? Ummmmm, I'd have to be a Priest to be a Jesuit...

It's interesting to note that in the depths of your ignorance, you actually condemn Oral Tradition as a "Catholic" invention. Oral Tradition is as old as Judaism itself. The Jewish people had the WRITTEN and the ORAL teachings - and these were NOT the teachings condemned by Jesus in Mark...

I wasn't talking to you, so you don't have to worry about it, do you. However, I fully expect you to go running to the Mods, as is your usual style . . .

This is ludicrous. Paul explicitly states his point in the text: 2 Thess 2:15 "Stand firm and hold fast to the Traditions you were taught, WHETHER BY an ORAL STATEMENT OR BY a LETTER from us." Either Written Tradition (Scripture) or ORAL Tradition (Oral teaching). Paul is stating emphatically...
