Well David in NJ You make a good point. Maybe Jesus failed? Maybe HE should have written the "books"? Men are fallible and He left it up to men. Now,,,,if sola scriptura worked we would all agree on everything. Is OSAS correct? Is Free Will correct? Is Confession to a Bishop correct? Does God...

Well actually Marymog.... NOT WITH YOU. You have too much fun laughing at persons and calling them odd names. Not my cup of tea. I enjoy serious conversation.

Is this Pope following church Tradition? Happily, some Bishops have stood up to him. Not sure how much good that's doing.

Can't remember if I replied to the above....sorry. You say your list is from God's mouth to our ears: OK Show me in the NT where it states that we are to depend only on Scripture. It doesn't exist. And how do you explain this verse: Mark 7:6-13 ‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS...

"Jesus was made the Prime Minister of the church...." Really? And where is this stated in CHURCH HISTORY? This is why Catholics are ridiculed. And rightly so.

1. I brought up the question of baptism BEFORE and AFTER Augustine to both you and Bread. Neither one has been able to reply. 2. I NEVER said infants were not always baptized. You both could stop with that lie. I find it rather dangerous to speak to you.....I can't spend my time correcting...

Like many on this thread you enjoy babbling but not getting down to serious business. So please don't expect anymore responses from me. :handwaving:

Sola Scriptura You must be reformed. SOLA SCRIPTURA does not work because we do not all agree.... You're the one that has to re-examine. WHY don't we all agree if all we need is scripture? WHO is to decide who is right and who is wrong?

:sleeping:

I do believe that Christianity is being watered down and I've stated this. I don't care for this Pope so you don't have to convince me. He had a South American Hacha Mama or some thing in the GARDEN OF THE VATICAN. Catholics were horrified - at least the conservative ones that see their church...

@David in NJ is right Augustine. Jesus did NOT establish the office of Pope. Jesus DID pick Peter to be the head of the church that Jesus realized would have to be created since the Jews did not accept His teachings. Jesus came to set up the Kingdom of God on earth. He didn't originally desire...

I just cannot reply to everything else....we just go round and round and will get nowhere. The important thing is that we do good works. If you want to say it's because we want to, OK. It's better than what that other member stated that even sinners can go to heaven. I hope you read his post...

Who is they? You keep speaking about THEY, but don't say who they are. If you mean the CC, I don't believe Protestants and Catholics could ever get together. The differences are too great. One world religion? Yes. I think that would be the goal... But I don't think it'll ever happen. The...

You're right Amigo.... I misspoke! In my second sentence, which you said I should rewrite, what I meant is that most Christians believe that the NT is THE WORD OF GOD.... BUT they either don't follow it or understand it to some degree. Thanks for pointing that out. And, of course, I do believe...

Ronald, I sit under the authority of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Who died and gave His life to save me and all those that care to be disciples of His. You can assemble yourself all you want to.... but God sees our heart. Which local believing assembly do YOU sit under that represents what was...

Hi Ziggy, This is very sad to read. This is why I've disassociated myself from any church, although I do go to Mass every now and then for various reasons I won't get into. Actually, there is no other church around. Just because your mother was disillusioned with the CC doesn't mean she left...

David, IF sola scriptura worked/functioned, we'd all believe the same teachings. Most Christians believe in the word of God. Maybe they bring baggage to it? Maybe instead of reading it ourselves we go to a denominational church and allow THAT CHURCH to indoctrinate us? Also, it would be very...

I know that what the CCC teaches can be found in the bible, somehow, or in the ECFs. It's just that sometimes the verses are stretched a bit to make them fit. I can't really think of any except for confession. That certainly changed starting in the beginning. I think that John 20:23 may be...

I don't know if every diocese has an exorcist....I would tend to doubt it because it's such a specific calling. However, yes, they are certainly real. And very well trained in Rome. One very famous exorcist was depicted in a movie, but, of course, they Hollywoodize it to make it more...

The NT is full of scripture that teaches that we are to do good works/deeds. This is all Jesus spoke of....I don't know how some can deny this. Some say that they do good works because they WANT to. I've done some works that were not very pleasant but that God called me to do and with the Help...
