WRONG. I've already shown that Purgatory is a Biblical reality. We see in Mal. 3:3, Jer. 6:27-30, Ezek. 22:18, Psalm 119:119, Psalm 37:20, Zech. 13:9, Isa 48:10, where God is the Great Refiner who burns away the impurities to get to the precious metal – the gold and silver. In 1 Cor. 3:12-15...

No - James was clearly telling his readers in James 2:14-24 that faith is NOT simply about believing - that it includes works. This is why he goes so far in verse 24 as to say that a man is justified BY his works. In verse 19, he states that all "belief" does is make you as "faithful" as the...

WRONG. His 2 natures are INDIVISIBLE. YOU are espousing the ancient Nestorian Heresy which sought to divide Christ's 2 natures. Nice job . . .

Funny how whenever a Protestant scholar substantiates Catholic history - he is "apostate" or "unreliable". Here is an excerpt from What Think Ye of Rome (Ten Reasons Why Catholicism Is Not a Cult) by Protestant historian Kenneth Samples, writing for the Christian Research Journal: "Catholicism...

Wrong. The fact is that YOU just wouldn't accept it.

I've posted them REPEATEDLY. The last time was in post #275. They say that Jesus is GOD and that Mary is His Mother.

WRONG. We don't know WHAT John did because there is NO description of it in the Bible.

Wrong. It's already been proven that "Baptize" in Greek does NOT always mean "immerse". The Didache, which is a contemporary document of the NT uses the SAME Koine Greek to describe Baptism - yet it allows for POURING. So, your ignorance of languages DOES come into play here and was NOT an "ad...

Ummmm, no, I'm NOT. The word "IF" indicates that the blessing that follows is conditional. Didn't you ever take an English class?? My grade school teacher would move the conjunction ("if") to the second part of the sentence to show us that it didn't change the meaning of the sentence. Observe...

No - I think I gave a pretty clear explanation in post #264. What's YOUR take on it?

Since you seem to be having trouble with this point - I'll explain it to you this way: The Greek word for "Brother" is "Adelphos". It means brother from the SAME mother. HOWEVER - In the Bible, there are uses of this word for step-brother, half-brother, cousin, uncle, neighbor, fellow...

No - this isn't "false." What you said goes without saying. Of course the Holy Spirit decides - ALONG with the Church. Jesus told the leaders of His Church that they would be guided by the Holy Spirit to ALL TRUTH (John 16:12-15). This is why, at the Council of Jerusalem, the Church Leaders...

The Didache is The Teachings of the Twelve Apostles - hence, Apostolic Tradition.

Every Protestant Baptism I've been to or have witnessed on videotape. However - I loosened the challenge to a mere mention of "full immersion only" in Scripture. STILL WAITING for that verse . . .

According to Matt. 16:18-19, Matt. 18:15-18, Luke 10:16, John 16:12-15 and John 20:21-23 - Christ gave His Church Supreme Authority on earth. He stated that WHATEVER the Church declared on earth would ALSO be ordained in Heaven . . . Matt 16:18-19 And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon...

Can I ask WHY you left out James 2:24?? James 2:24 states emphatically: "You see that a man is justified by WORKS and NOT by faith alone." So Is James LYING - or is Paul lying?? YOUR problem is that you, like ALL Protestants, cherry-pick Scripture to arrive at your aberrant doctrines. You...

And I agree with you 100%. The "RCC" Church is NOT the Church established by Christ. The Catholic Church is - and is the ONLY Church that can prove it by the testimonies of the Early Church. NONE of your Protestant denominations can go back ANY further than the 16th century - not ONE. MOST of...

1 John 1:7 But IF we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 John 1:9 IF we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. BOTH of...

Then, show me where Scripture states that immersion is the ONLY way a person can be Baptized. And while you're busy looking for the verses - find one that says that Scripture is our SOLE Authority . . .

Can you define "Faith" from Scripture?? What is "Faith", exactly?? Give me your definition - then I'll show you what the BIBLE says . . .
