No - it was nothing but another cowardly anti-Catholic cop-out. Whenever sn anti-Catholic is short on answers, they attack formatting style. It's standard procedure . . .

WRONG. Tell that too the Ethiopian Eunuch in Acts 8. It NEVER speaks of him having ANY sort of "born again" experience before he is Baptized by Philip. It simply states that he listened to Philip and heard what he was saying regarding the Scriptures. Our initial grace that we are given when...

NONSENSE. First of all - the ones you speak of in Acts 19:2-6 were baptized in to JOHN the Baptist's Baptism - NOT the Baptism of Christ. If you just read verses 4-6, you see that once they were Baptized in to CHRIST'S Baptism, they received the Holy Spirit: Acts 19:4-6 Paul said, “John’s...

NONSENSE. First of all - the Water in John 3:5 is talking about the water of Baptism. The first 3 chapters of John's Gospel are literally DRENCHED with the renewing waters of Baptism. Chapter One - We read about the Baptism of Christ. What do we see? WATER and SPIRIT. Chapter Two - Jesus...

Jesus ALSO makes perfectly clear that NOT everyone who calls on Him will be saved: Matt. 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but ONLY the one who DOES THE WILL of my Father in heaven. The Bible is clear that true Faith = Belief + Works (James...

WRONG. Baptism is a requirement for salvation according to Christ Himself (John 3:5, Mark 16:16). It is repeated by Peter as a means f removing our sins and SAVING us (Acts 2:38-39, 1 Pet. 3:21). Paul likens it to circumcision and says that we are brought to FULLNESS in Christ (Col. 2:10-12)...

And whenever one if you ignorant anti-Catholics attacks my posting style and formatting instead of addressing my points - it becomes glaringly apparent that I OBLITERATED your original point, leaving you with no valid response. Nice job . . .

NOT really sure where you're coming from because I FULLY agree with your statement in RED. I agree with how the Bible defines "Faith", which is Belief + Works (obedience) (James 2:14-26). Unless we cooperate with God's grace, we cannot hope to be saved.

Not sure who you are writing this to. I can only assume it's against Catholics, as most of your diatribes are. That being said - you seem to have missed the point on a few things and misrepresented Catholic beliefs on some others. First of all - the Church has never taught that the Eucharist...

That is the most completely honest thing I've seen you post about Protestantism. Yes, when it comes to "unity of doctrine" within Protestantism - this is about ALL you have in common . . .

It's blindingly clear that you never read the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification. It's ALSO clear that as a hope;less SDA adherent, you don't understand Scripture. Otherwise, you wouldn't believe in such nonsense as "Soul Sleep" or any of the false prophecies of your foundress...

And by the same token - easy-believism spreads the false message that you don't have to do anything but "believe". Unfortunately, the Bible tells a different story . . . The Bible says that we must: - Be baptized (Matt. 28:19-20, John 3:5, Rom. 2:29, Rom. 6:1-11, Col. 2:12-17, 1 Peter 3:21) -...

Oh, really?? There are tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering Protestant factions that ALL teach different doctrines - yet ALL claim that they have the "correct" interpretation from the Holy Spirit. They disagree on essentials as well as non-essentials. - Some Protestant...

What makes you think that a baby has to "respond" to God when he is Baptized?? Did 8-day-old Jewish babies "respond" to God when they were circumcised and entered into the Covenant with God?? A Covenant is a sacred contract - a sacred oath. HOW can an 8-day-old Jewish Babies enter into a...

Ummmm, they WERE admitted to the Canon, Einstein. That's the whole point. WHO told you they weren't??

In other words, you don't have an answer to my question. You CAN'T tell me who told YOU that the Deuterocanonicals were "uninspired". That's what I thought . . .

And anything written by Jerome that doesn't agree with YOUR position is kryptonite to YOU. I have shown you over and over and over that Jerome DIDN'T reject the Deuterocanonical Books and how he explained the it was the JEWS and not him who rejected them as inspired. Why you refuse to accept...

Spoken like a true Protestant - they left Jerusalem with no leadership and, as is the nature of men, they splintered and continued to splinter. WRONG. God is not the Author of Chaos. He left a Church with Leaders and Teachers. In Acts 1, we see the Apostles gathering to elect a replacement...

- Jesus established ONE Church (Matt. 16:16-19). He prayed fervently that this Church remain ONE - as He and the Father are ONE (John 17:20-23). There is NO other. - Jesus is Truth itself (John 14:6). - Jesus promised His Church that the Holy Spirit would guide her to ALL Truth (John...

Whether or not the Bishops at Hippo sent the letter to several other Bishops alongside the Pope IS irrelevant because it specifically addresses the fact that it needs ROME'S approval - NOT theirs. You can whine about that all you want - but that's the way it works. As to my "not" showing that...
