WRONG again. The Holy Spirit, speaking through Paul stated that he DISCIPLINES his body. Discipline is just that - causing discomfort for yourself, whether it is mental, emotional or physical to achieve a greater good. In Paul's case - it was PHYSICAL because he mortified his FLESH - and the...

This post is so full of manure - it's difficult to know just where to begin . . . Let's start with Paul's rebuke of Peter's BEHAVIOR. this has NOTHING to do with an ex cathedra statment being challenged. Paul had every right and responsibility to rebuke Peter's awful behavior. Papal...

WRONG - and you speak like a person who truly doesn't know God. Virtually EVERY heresy begins with a misconception of the nature of God - and Arius's heresy was NO different. The Council of Nicea - like the Councils that followed ALL dealt with different aspects of the nature of God because of...

He is a Sedevacantist, which is Latin for "empty chair". They believe tht the last "true" Pope was Pius XII. Sedevacantist groups include, the Society of St. Pius V and Society of St. Pius X. These are dissidents from Catholicism.

Why are you telling ME this? I wasn't arguind against the necessity of suffering.

The Catholic Church traces itself historically and Scripturally back to the Apostles, who WROTE the NT, along with their disciples. YOUR sect - and EVERY OTHER Protestant sect can only go back as far as 500 years. The Catholic Church wrote, compiled and declared the Canon of Scripture. It's a...

The assumption of Mary... (Rev. 12:1) Sunday sacredness... (Acts 20:7, 1 Cor. 16:2, Rev. 1:10) the immaculate conception... (Luke 1:38) The entire priesthood as a mechanism for being mediators between God and man... (James 5:13-15) The theory of there being a heavenly bank from which we can...

Soooooo, the Holy Spirit was WRONG when speaking through James? THANK YOU for exposing your counterfeit theology. As for asceticism - WHO said anything about self-flagellation or sleeping on rocks being a "requirement"?? YOU have been reading WAY too many Dan Brown novels instead of studying...

And yet YOU haven't pointed to a SINGLE doctrine that a Catholic can't defend using Scripture - have you. That's what I thought . . .

Funny - a Sola Scripturist who is afraid to say WHY he believes the Scriptures to be our "SOLE" rule of faith - especially when they came from a "demonic" source . . .

So, WHY are you afraid to answer the question? This should be an EASY question for a guy who believes the Catholic Church to be "demonic". Consider yourself exposed like ALL of the other ignorant anti-Catholics around here . . .

You didn't answer my question: why do YOU follow a CATHOLIC Canon of Scripture if the Catholic Church is "demonic"??

You don't have a CLUE about where your Bible came from, DO you? Allow me to educate you . . . For the first 300 years of the Church's existence - there was NO official Canon of Scripture. In other words - NO BIBLE. There were MANY Books that were considered to be Scripture by the Early Church...

Yet, you believe in the New Testament Canon of Scripture, that was compiled and declared by the Cathoolic Church - at the Council of Rome (383 AD). And you don't find this hypocritical? How could you possibly follow a Canon of Scripture that was declared by a "demonic" organization?

His "demonic power to accept sins"?? Can you elaborate?

Their God-given power to forgive sins in Christ certainly is.

Exactly. The practice of telling our sins directly to a priest is based in Scripture. THREE times in the Gospels (Matt. 16:19, 18:18 and John 20:23), we read where Jesus gave the Apostles the power to forgive sins or to hold them bound. This is NOT something that Jesus took lightly. In John...

This is the kind of asinine response I expected from you. John the Baptis't WASN'T an ascetic?? He was the textbook exapmple of asceticism. Others who chose the ascetic life, like the great saint Anthony of Egypt modeled their entire lives life after John. John was the POSTER BOY for...

Priest and Presbyter are the SAME thing. We read in James 5:13-15 how the prayers of the PResbyters not only bring about the healing of a person - but the FORVIVENESS OF SINS and SALVATION. James 5:13-15 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is...

WRONG. Christ guaranteed that His Church would NOT fail. Even the "bad" Popes didn't TEACH error - even though their private lives were in question. In other words - individual MEN can fail - but Christ's Church can't because He equates His very SELF with His Church (Acts 9:4-5).
