    If We Protestants Truly Hated Catholics...

    There is no "Protestant church", Einstein. It is a gaggle of tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering sects - not ONE. A renegade, pseudo-Catholic faction is, by definition, a Protestant sect . . .

    Thanks for that transparently ignorant post. First of all - it's not a horse's head - it is a donkey's head. Another name for the Alexamenos Grafito is the "Gaffito Blasfemo" - or "Blasphemous Graffiti" because it depicts Christ with the head of a donkey. It is a drawing of mockery - yet it...

    The Catholic Church and sola scriptura

    Once again - you paste verses without understanding them. Not only did Jesus NOT condemns Oral Tradition - He PRACTICED it - as did the rest of the NT writers. I gave you a laundry list of verses that illustrate this - and you have only responded to ONE - and have done so out of context...

    The Catholic Church and sola scriptura

    The problem that you Protestant have is that you can't even agree on the definition of Sola Scriptura. YOUR definition above in RED is NOT the classic definition which states that the Scriptures are our SOLE Authority. The Bible itself disagrees with this definition by stating that Christ's...

    If We Protestants Truly Hated Catholics...

    Ahhhh, another uneducated Jehovah's Witness telling us about Jesus dying on a "torture stake" and not a cross. Allow me to educate you . . . Jesus was crucified on a cross - that is a vertical beam with a crossbeam. This was the method used by Romans in the first century. The cause of death...

    Seems to me that you do not have a grasp on what an "idol" is. An idol is NOT simply an object. An idol is an object of WORSHIP. When people WORSHIP something or somebody OTHER than God - it is an Idol. Crosses in Protestant churches or a Crucifixes in a Catholic churches are REMINDERS of...

    And NEITHER is apostate Jerusalem a city. It is the entire people of Israel. "Jerusalem" is simply a generalization for the House of Israel. The Whore of Babylon was drunk on the blood of the Prophets (Rev. 17:6). Jesus accused Jerusalem of killing the Prophets (Matt. 23:27). WHO said...

    If We Protestants Truly Hated Catholics...

    And as I said before - this shows a lack of faith on YOUR part. With MY God - the God of Scripture - ALL things are possible. I take very seriously what Jesus told Peter: Matt. 16:18-19 And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the...

    If We Protestants Truly Hated Catholics...

    This is a perfect example of a person without faith in the power of God. NOTHING and NOBODY is beyond reformation or renewal. The problem happening within the Catholic Church - AND the Protestant groups is a matter of individual sin. I don't blame ALL Lutherans or Evangelicals or Methodists or...

    If We Protestants Truly Hated Catholics...

    No - I, personally don't know ONE single priest who will tell you that you are going to Heaven OR Hell. That is up to GOD to decide - not man. And most reputable Protestant scholars will tell you that the "Whore of Babylon" is apostate Jerusalem. Are YOU correct - and all of them incorrect...

    The Catholic Church and sola scriptura

    First of all - NONE of these verses have ANYTHING to do with Sola Scriptura. Acts 17:11 is about the Bereans testing what Paul was telling them about Jesus to see if he was telling the truth. Searching the Scriptures doesn't make you a Sola Scripturist. The Catholic Church backs up every...

    CAN WE FALL AWAY ?

    Ad, as usual - YOU wouldn't know how to post a concise response if your LIFE depended on it. For all of your whiny belly-aching - you STILL don't get it. This means that you haven't experienced the love of God. Let me educate you . . . God's love is ALL-encompassing - it is unconditional...

    If We Protestants Truly Hated Catholics...

    Not according to the links provided, Einstein. There are REAL news sources and quotes from Protestant leaders. They're only "garbage" because they obliterate your phony position. Maybe you should actually R*E*A*D some of the stories and the statistics. As for it being "impossible" to know the...

    If We Protestants Truly Hated Catholics...

    Another moronic, ill-researched post - what a surprise . . . Before you go around betting a "bazillion" dollars - do your homework. NEITHER will the Church tell you that you're going to Hell, as you falsely claimed. As to your pathetic ignorance of Scripture, the Beast and the Whore of Babylon...

    CAN WE FALL AWAY ?

    And the crux of your complete confusion is in RED. Faith IS a gift - it's NOT a sentence. We can walk away ANY time we want. Anything less would NOT be true love from God. YOUR little god forces you to love Him. MY God - the God of the Bible gives us the choice to love Him OR leave Him - at...

    If We Protestants Truly Hated Catholics...

    I can ask YOU the SAME question about the Real Presence. Why were men and women willing to be fed to wild animals for their belief in the Eucharist?? The difference is that the Real Presence is completely supported by Scripture - whereas, not even ONE line of Scripture supports Sola Scriptura.

    CAN WE FALL AWAY ?

    Rev. 2:26 ha NOTHING to do with Rev. 12:1-5. Rev. 12:5 is about Christ who will rule all nations with an iron rod. On the other hand - Rev. 2:26 is about those who overcome that will share in that authority. Once again - you're WAY off base here and you're trying desperately to reassemble a...

    And NO astronomy software is capable of seeing what goes on in Heaven. What's wrong with you?

    If We Protestants Truly Hated Catholics...

    Funny - that's NOT what the Bible says. NOWHERE does the Bible teach the fairy tale that is Sola Scriptura. The Bible tells us explicitly that the CHURCH is our final Authority on earth: Matt 16:16-19 And so I say to YOU, YOU are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates...
