Ahhhh, but Christ’s Church, which is the pillar and foundation of truth (1 Tim. 2:15) and the FULLNESS of Christ (Eph. 1:22-23) fills in the blanks. What neither His Church NOR the Scriptures say anything about is Sola Scriptura or Sola Fide – and that should really concern you . . .

Nope – I didn’t say that. What I AM saying is that NOWHERE in Scripture does it say that EVERYTHING the Apostles taught was written down. That’s what 2 Thess. 2:15 is ALL about – and there is NO expiration date on 2 Thess. 2:15 . . .

And yet every verse I gave you tthat supports the Catholic Mass has been met by crickets on YOUR part. How about a SCRIPTURAL refutation, Einstein?

Uh-huh. Now explain John 21:15-19. I'll wait right here . . .

Pay attention: Rev. 21:27 is about the New Jerusalem – that comes down from HEAVEN. NOTHING impure or imperfect can enter it (Heaven OR the New Jerusalem). Those in Heaven have been PERFECTED in Christ – and that was my point. I didn’t think you would understand . . .

No "red herring" here. Just a fair exchange. I didn't think you could answer it . . .

Maybe YOU could help your friend find the verse that says Scripture is our "SOLE Authority". You guys built an entire doctrine around it, so surely it must be there . . .

He simply brought up a subject to discuss. The "contention" is ALL yours.

I see So YOU see Scriptural truth as "contentiousness"?? Interesting . . .

As soon as YOU can show me a verse that says Scripture is our "SOLE Authority." I eagerly await your response . . .

Then people shouldn't make statements about Mary - or anybody else without documented evidence.

This argument is irrelevant. Jesus is our only mediator because only HIS blood is the perfect sacrifice before the Father for our sins. HOWEVER - our intercession for one another is commanded in the Scriptures (1 Cor. 3:9, 1 Tim. 2:1-3, Eph 6:18, James 5:16, 1 John 5:16).

That's fine - but you're only "done" with me because you can't refute what I said. EVERYTHING I told you was Scriptural truth - just like you asked. Can you prove to me that Jesus didn't give His Church Supreme earthly Authority in those verses??

Yes - glad you asked. Revelation 5:8 shows the Elders in heaven bringing our prayers before God and Rev. 8:3-4 speaks of the Angels in heaven doing the same thing. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit - James tells his readers to pray for each other and that the prayers of a RIGHTEOUS...

Point taken. I would LOVE to discuss Mary - but the usual anti-Catholic cast of characters has cone out of the woodwork to hijack the thread again. Soooooo - what do you say guys - how about keeping this about MARY??

Then YOU don't know your Bible - because Scripture itself says that you're wrong. Time for another Bible lesson . . . The FIRST rule of any Bible class is: Christ didn't leave us with a Bible. He left us with a Church - and He gave that Church Supreme earthly Authority. He guaranteed the...

TRANSLATION: "I won't give you any documented evidence because it doesn't exist." Like I said before - that's what I thought. Ummmmm, it's called :"deductive reasoning." He made a claim and couldn't back it up. I naturally deduced that since he he couldn't - he had no proof. Judging by his...

Correct. A shepherd doesn't necessarily OWN the sheep he tends. MANY shepherds word FOR the one who owns them. Your argument is as stupid as saying that a waiter can't work in a restaurant unless he owns it. Complete nonsense . . .

Go back and read the posts, sparky. I've destroyed EVERY ONE of your arguments using nothing but Scripture.

Actually - Christ's Church is incapable of teacing error. Time for a Bible lesson . . . - The Church is the Body of Christ and He is the Head (1 Cor. 12:12-31, Eph. 4:3-6, Col. 1:8). - Jesus is Truth itself (John 14:6). - Jesus promised His Church that the Holy Spirit would guide her to ALL...
