No – that’s denial. As I have pointed out – the Scriptures are crystal clear on the church being the Final earthly Authority. Remember what I taught you about taking ALL of the Scriptures into their proper context and not just cherry-picking. Let’s review . . . - The Bible explicitly calls...

It means that HIS Church would survive the test of time – and the wickedness of the world. Like EVERY other line of Scripture – you need to put it into perspective with all the rest of Scripture. You anti-Catholics are fond of cherry-picking the Scriptures – and that’s why you always fall FLAT...

So, as an adult, you couldn't go to an English speaking parish? You were too poor to buy a Bible? Is that it??

And this is a PERFECT example of why you are always losing debates. You simply don’t pay attention . . . I never said that only people in Heaven are full of grace. I said that only those in Heaven are Kecharitomene – which means, “completely, perfectly and enduringly endowed with grace.” Their...

Soooooo, you left the Church because you couldn't understand Polish - yet you NEVER thought to give to an English speaking parish?? Unbelievable . . .

WRONG. As I stated earlier – Ignatius was a student of the Apostle John and wrote these letters while John was still presumably alive. Besides – Jesus guaranteed that even the gates of Hell would NOT prevail against His Church (Matt. 16:18). The Letters of Ignatius show that by the end of the...

And NOBODY said that his letters were Scripture. THAT is a red herring. They DO, however, offer us a window into 1st century Christianity and show us what the Church looked like. It’s also important to note that Ignatius was not only a student of the Apostle John – but that John was still...

Yes, another one of his favorites is "Red Herring!" I don't think he understands what a red herring is . . .

Really? Can you tell which Church Ignatius was describing?

As I have educated you several times now – Scripture teaches us both EXPLICITLY and IMPLICITLY. I even gave you examples of some implicit teachings. The Trinity is an implicit teaching. In fact – the word “Trinity” is found NOWHERE in Scripture but was coined by the Catholic Church. Mary’s...

???? Do you ever proofread your posts??

Not only CAN it be substantiated – the Church HAS substantiated it through the centuries - and we have the paper trail to prove it . . . St. Ignatius was a 1st century Bishop of Antioch. On his way to martyrdom in Rome in the early years of the 2nd century, he wrote SEVEN Letters to SEVEN...

Yup, no valid refutation whatsoever. That's what I thought . . .

Jesus built ONE Church. Rhe Catholic Church ias an unbroken line of Apostolic Succession. NONE of your Protestant sects can go back ANY further than the 16th century . . . How is it NOT relevant?? The total confused mess that is Protestantism was born of ecclesiastical divorce and personal...

TRANSLATION: "I don't have a Scritural refutation of any of your points, either." That's what I thought . . .

The Church CAN’T be wrong on matters of doctrine. ALL truth, son. Christ guaranteed that the Holy Spirit would guide His Church to ALL TRUTH (John 16:12-15) – and that even the gates of Hell would NOT prevail against it (Matt. 16:18). Shame on your lack of faith . . . Then why are there tens...

I CAN. My pastor may NOT have a completely accurate interpretation – and I am free to interpret a passage as long as it does not deviate from Church teaching. The problem with Protestantism is that ANYBODY is allowed to interpret Scripture ANY way they want – to the tune of tens of thousands...

Yup, and nobody told.me I HAD to. I ALSO hear PLENTY of Scripture being read and taught at Mass.

Guess again - especially since you worship a different God than the God of Christianity.

Exactly. And I answered you with a question of my own: Are you saying that you can‘t glean anything valuable from a verse that has been interpreted by one of your pastors simply because YOU didn’t interpret it?? It's a valid question . . .
