    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    The Bride of Christ is His CHURCH and is not limited to the 144,000 written of in Rev. 14. YOU are not the Bride of Christ and neither am I or ANY other individual. The Bride is the CHURCH, collectively. As for the Protoevangelium - I never claimed that it was Scripture. It IS the...

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    You are conflating a Spiritual "Virginity" with the LITERAL virginity of Mary. She remained a literal virgin her entire life - and this has absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that Christ's Church will be presented to Him as a "Virgin" Bride. By the way - that is NOT an individual symbolism...

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    Luke 1:34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?” Mary was a betrothed girl who knew about marital relations and how babies are conceived. She didn’t say, “How can this be, since I have not known a man?” She said, “How can this be, since I do not know a...

    Then please, list those "falsehoods" . . .

    Question no Protestant can answer

    Soooooo, you don't attend a church service? You don't have a pastor who TEACHES you? Are you a "Lone Ranger" Christian? As for the verses you presented - I have already obliterated that argument by showing you verse after verse after verse where mere MEN were called both "Father" and "Teacher"...

    Question no Protestant can answer

    Not a SINGLE Pope has TAUGHT error. That's not to say that there haven't been some wicked Popes. There was a wicked Apostle. Des that mean that Jesus made a "mistake" in choosing him?

    Question no Protestant can answer

    I agree with you, too. I'm not even sure what the "Roman" Catholic Church is. I belong to the ONE, Holy, Apostolic, Catholic Church. "Roman" simply refers to just ONE of about TWENTY Liturgical Rites that comprise the ONE Catholic Church. As for WHO teaches us - as I showed you in my last...

    Question no Protestant can answer

    You are conflating Scriptural Authority with Scripture ALONE (Sola Scriptura). Scripture is indeed Authoritative - but NOWHERE do we read that it is our "SOLE" Authority. - I have presented an airtight Scriptural argument against Sola Scriptura by illustrating that Christ's CHURCH is shown to...

    Question no Protestant can answer

    WRONG. Jesus didn't give just "ANY leader" complete Authority to declare "WHATEVER" needed to be bound or loosed (Matt. 16:18-19, Matt. 18:17-18, Luke 10:16, John 20:21-23). And your idiotic and unsubstantiated charge that "millions were murdered" by the Church is nonsense. I've heard numbers...

    Question no Protestant can answer

    Peter spoke accurately of you when he wrote: 2 Pet. 3:16 There are some things in them (Paul's Letters) that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. First of all - Jesus didn't condemn Tradition OR the Traditions...

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    And exactly how is it that simply touching a box (the Ark) "defiles" it? Uzzah was simply trying to keep it from falling and was struck DEAD (2 Sam. 6:7). God will do as HE wills - not YOU. Mary IS the fulfillment of the Ark, as we see in the following, undisputable Scriptural comparisons of...

    Question no Protestant can answer

    As I educated you in my last post - Scripture tells us that the Holy spirit won't allow His Church to TEACH error. There will ALWAYS be wicked men within the Body of Christ - as there was in the beginning, starting with Judas. We were WARNED about this in Scripture (Matt. 7:15-20). Don't you...

    Question no Protestant can answer

    Your comment above in RED is complete anti-biblical nonsense. As God's people, we are ABSOLUTELY led by men who are led by the Holy Spirit. It's been that was since the time of Moses. WHO do you think the Apostles were?? Who were Barnabas, Timothy, Silas, Luke, Mark, etc?? Who is YOUR...

    Question no Protestant can answer

    WHO said that MEN were infallible?? The Holy Spirit is infallible and does not allow the Pope to TEACH error. If you're going to be an anti-Catholic - at LEAST try to be an intelligent one . . . Oh, and the sects of the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons were invented within the last 170 years -...

    Question no Protestant can answer

    Correction - the Catholic Church IS the Church of the 1st century. We read from Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch, who was not only a lifelong student of the Apostle John, but was ordained to the Episcopate by Peter himself. This is how he describes the Church of the First Century: Ignatius of...

    Question no Protestant can answer

    Then, you're going to have to show be where the BIBLE says that - because it doesn't. The Bible tells us emphatically that Crist's CHURCH is our final earthly Authority: Matt 16:18-19 And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the...

    Question no Protestant can answer

    God doesn't HAVE to make that statement for TWO reasons: 1. Because God doesn't have to declare to YOU when He makes a decision. It is evident in His Word. 2. Because He told the leaders of His Church that WHATEVER THEY bind or loose on earth will also be bound and loosed in Heaven (Matt...

    Question no Protestant can answer

    Not irrelevant at ALL. It addresses YOUR remark perfectly. The Catholic Church has been here since the FIRST century - which is proven by History and doctrine. Ummmmmm, how long has YOUR sect been around? 500 years? 150? 25? I think we know which one goes back to the Apostles . . .

    Question no Protestant can answer

    Sorry - but I have to go with Scripture again. BOTH Jesus (John 3:5, Mark 16:16) and Peter (Acts 2:38-39, 1 Pet. 3:21) state that Baptism SAVES us. The Thief on the cross and Cornelius were exceptions, as they were BOTH unique cases. The Thief couldn't be baptized because he was nailed to a...

    Question no Protestant can answer

    That is assuming Jesus is a liar and the Holy Spirit is worthless. Jesus stated emphatically: John 16:12-15 “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide YOU to ALL truth. He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he...
