    Yes, and that's why Matt Slick of CARM was annihilated by Catholic apologiists Tim Staples and Jimmy Akin in separate debates on Catholic teaching. You're going to the WRONG source for Catholic information, son . . .

    You MAY be, indeed - but I was referring to where you are at with your Biblical and historical knowledge - or lack, thereof . . .

    The Pope absolutely needs Christ as much as the rest of us. WHO said he doesn’t?? This is yet another anti-Catholic myth that you’ve all been spoon-fed - and instead of investigating it – you SWALLOWED it. The charism of infallibility in matters of teaching faith and morals comes FROM the Holy...

    How about actually ADDRESSING the evidence I presented instead of posting manure from Carm.org and other moronic anti-Catholic links?? CAN you do that, sparky?? No WONDER your debate site is dying . . .

    PRECISELY. So - please explain the tens of thousandsof disjointed and perpetually-splintering factions of Protestantism that ALL teach different doctrines and ALL claim that they were "led" by the Holy Spirit. How is this "Biblically-sound"?? This time - try to actually address the question...

    This is a perfect example of a charitable post that doesn’t resort to lies or myths and simply addresses concerns and disagreements with the Catholic Church. Granted, there are some of the usual inaccuracies in your post – but EVERY anti-Catholic reading this should take heed and follow this...

    WRONG. There was a little discovery inn Qumran in 1946 called The Dead Sea Scrolls that pretty much blows your idiotic argument OUT of the water. The rabbinical claims of the superiority of the Masoretic text only go back as far as the Medieval period. The Scrolls destroy this previously held...

    Because it is easy and fun to spread LIES about the Catholic Church - but quite another kettle of fish to have to PROVE those lies when confronted by an educated Catholic. As for Salvation - I believe what Scripture teaches about salvation - in context. It is NOT a one-time, slam dunk event -...

    An educated Catholic - an anti-Catholic's WORST nightmare . . .

    Uhhh, NO, there's not. The official name of the Catholic Church is . . . "The Catholic Church". There is the Roman RITE, the Melkite RITE, the Byzantine RITE, Coptic RITE, Maronite RITE, etc. ALL of these Churches are part of the ONE Catholic Church - and NOT all are "Roman" or "Latin". do...

    Who wrote Job? He is NOT on the list of Prophets. Is Job canonical?? You're correct about the Apocryphal Books not being canonical. HOWEVER - the 7 Deuterocanonical Books thet Luther rejected were part of the OPEN Jewish Canon of the 1st century. They were Books that Jesus and the Apostles...

    Then stop erroneously referring to the Catholic Church as the "RCC". There is NO such Church as the "Roman Catholic" Church. "Roman" (Latin) simply refers to the RITE - of which there are 20 that comprise the Catholic Church. ALL are in full communion with each other and with the Bishop of Rome...

    Correct. They were declared canonical by the Catholic Church in the 4th century. - The Synod of Rome (382) is where the canon was first formally identified. - It was confirmed at the Synod of Hippo eleven years later (393). - At the Council (or Synod) of Carthage (397), it was yet again...

    I don't "badmouth" you as an anti-Catholic. I simply expose you. YOU do all the work - I just show you where you're wrong . . .

    The canonicity of the NT was up fro grabs during the Protestant Revolt in the 16th century. Luther wanted to remove James, Hebrews, Jude and Revelation while Calvin wasn't crazy about Revelation but decided to keep it. He never wrote a commentary for it as he did the other Books. Luther...

    Thanks to the arguments of his contemplraries like Philip Melanchton - who also stopped him from deleting Hebrews, Jude and Revelation as well. Otherwise YOUR Bible would be a LOT thinner . . .

    That's why Catholics read ALL of Scripture in CONTEXT oand not just parts of it. James 2:14-26 defines faith as belief AND works. That's why Luther called it the "Epistle of Straw" because it didn't fit his warped view of faith.

    The Bible teaches that Faith = Belief + Works/Obedience. You cannot have true faith without BOTH . . .

    As long as YOU properly define "Faith"as Belief + Obedience (Works), then the answer is YES.
