I agree - the BIBLE works. What DOESN'T work are people's flawed interpretations. By the way - I noticed that you complained about my post - but you did NOTHING to refute it. You said NOTHING about the other Mary standing near the cross who is called the wife of Clopas and the mother of James...

What are you talking about?? Those ARE links. Not MY fault if you can't figure out how to click on them . . .

Really?? Let's test this theory against Scripture and simple linguistics . . . For starters, there was NO term for the word “cousin” in the Aramaic language that Jesus spoke. When the Old Testament was translated into Greek in the centuries before the birth of Christ (the Septuagint), the words...

The Catholic Church didn't do ANY of the things you mentioned above - any more than any Protestant denominations did any of the following things listed below. SOME of the things you mentioned were don by individuals as were the things listed below - and SOME of them are simply untrue. Guess...

First of all - I haven't "insulted" you. I simply pointed out your ignorance about your flawed use of the terms "Roman Catholic Organization" and "Roman Catholic Church". There is NO such thing. There is ONLY the "Catholic Church". YOUR folly is a ignorant anti-Catholic slur that is quite...

I've understand MANY perspectives. I simply don't agree with them. I agree with Christ's Church.

And your extremely ignorant use of "Roman Catholic Organization" speaks volumes. "Roman" simply refers to a Liturgical Rite - of which there are about TWENTY than make up the Catholic Church. Others include the Byzantine, Melkite, Maronite, Ruthenian, Coptic, etc. These are largely cultural in...

NOWHERE does Paul or ANY other NT evangelist advocate for disjointed gaggles of “Lone Ranger” agents. It is ALWAYS described as a “BODY” or an “ASSEMBLY”, etc. – especially here in 1 Corinthians. YOUR view that we are nothing but Lone Rangers shows a real ignorance of the Gospel. As for Acts...

Do you ever actually READ your Bible?? It doesn't appear so . . . First of all - we are NOT to be "Lone Ranger" believers as YOU are. The Body of Christ is a FAMILY setting (1 Cor 12). We NEED each other. 1 Cor. 12:12-21 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members...

That's NOT the point. Jesus fervently prayed for the UNITY of His Church at the Last Supper. He prayed that they remain ONE - as He and the Father are ONE (John 17:20-23). He did NOT pray that they splinter off into tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering sects. The...

What about the guy next door? Is his interpretation wrong? What about the pastor down the street? What about the hundreds of thousands of pastors around the world? Are they ALL wrong and YOU right? They ALSO studied hard and came to different conclusions that YOU did. Some of them believe...

I'm not surprised at ALL. You're just being a good Protestant - which is perpetual-splintering . . . I simply believe in the guarantee of Christ Himself that the Holy Spirit would guide His Church to ALL truth (John 16:12-15). YOU don't. This guarantee wasn't made to each individual believer...

You believe in post 16th century men's interpretations of Scripture.

I am ALSO a disciple of Jesus. I was Baptized in His Church, into His death and resurrection. The difference between YOU and me, however, is that I don't reject His Body as YOU do. MY teacher is the Holy Spirit, working THROUGH His Church. YOUR teacher is some guy's interpretation of...

Yes - the statement was Authoritative and it was made by the APOSTLES. THEY had the Supreme earthly Authority transferred onto them by Christ Himself: John 16:15 Everything that the Father has is MINE; for this reason I told you that he will TAKE from what is MINE and declare it to YOU. Matt...

NONSENSE. OT Scripture was appealed to when making the decision at the Council of Jerusalem in Acts 15 because Scripture IS Authoritative. Nobody is arguing against this. Sola Scriptura, on the other hand posits that Scripture is our SOLE Authority - which Scripture itself rejects (Matt...

The talk is about sola scriptura. And so far you have done nothing if you haven't made the case for sola scriptura. All of your arguments are based on your interpretation of scripture. This is prima facia evidence that you believe in scripture alone. If someone believes in scripture alone that...

You just don't get it. NOBODY is saying that the Apostles made a decision at the Council of Jerusalem by themselves or by their OWN Authority. Remember what they said in the letter: Acts 15:28 It seemed good to THE HOLY SPIRIT AND TO US not to burden you with anything beyond the following...

I agree with you about Archbishop Vigano - and I have issues with some of the Pope's positions on politics. Unfortunately, he is a victim of the political atmosphere in which he spent so much of his life. I wonder, though why he doesn't snap out of it. Remember that Pope John Paul !! lived...

WRONG. What planet are you from? This was not a letter of "encouragement" or some sort of pep rally in Jerusalem. It was a definitive and decisive action taken by the Church hierarchy against the Judaizers. YOU can try to pervert it all yu want - but the text is right there in Acts 15, as I...
