WHO said that I can't explain it?? He was talking about the Holy Spirit who had NOT yet been sent. "Drinking" from this spiritual water is receiving the Holy Spirit. Being Baptized is the washing away of sin. Interestingly, though - the text in RED is NOT a direct quote from the OT.

Yes, "born again" means "converted" - just as later rejecting Christ means "Apostasy". As for the "maintenance" of salvation - that is up to US. God gives us the grace to faithfully endure - but it is ultimately up to US to cooperate with that grace in order to faithfully endure. God doesn't...

Sooooo, I went back and re-read posts 138, 140 and 144. - and guess what?? NONE of them substantiate your random number of 98%. Not ONE of them even mentions a percentage. Basically, you pulled that fictitious number out of a hat - which is what we intellectuals refer to as a "LIE"...

From Ignatius of Antioch's Letter to the Smyrnaeans: "Follow your bishop, every one of you, as obediently as Jesus Christ followed the Father. Obey your clergy too as you would the apostles; give your deacons the same reverence that you would to a command of God." Tell me - WHERE does Ignatius...

And neither am I - and neither is the Church. Why you keep claiming that is BEYOND me. Try to stay honest here . . . And, as I pointed out - YOU have a problem with CONTEXT. In John 1 through John 3, we see the use and symbolism of WATER (H2O). In John 7, Jesus is clearly talking about...

The Bible absolutely teaches this - as I have shown you on NUMEROUS occasions (Matt. 5:13, Matt. 7:21, Rom. 11:22, Heb. 10:26-27, 2 Peter 2:20-22, 2 Peter 3:17, Rev. 3:5, Rev. 22:19) NOTHING could be further from the truth. It's funny how many verses in Scripture magically become...

Ummmmmm, I gave you a quote directly from the United states Conference of Catholic Bishops. As usual - you're desperately grasping at straws with this fictitious "98%" nonsense. Finally - your horrendous grammar aside - I've already given you photographic evidence on multiple posts that your...

I believe Mother Teresa is in Heaven. Not just because she live a life of deep, obedient faith - but also because the Church has proclaimed her a saint. Jesus gave His Church SUPREME Authority on earth - that WHATEVER it ordained on earth would ALSO be ordained in Heaven (Matt 16:18-19, Matt...

You must have me confused with somebody else. I don't "ignore" ignorant anti-Catholics - I expose them. As for your moronic clams - first of all, there is no such thing as "RC" or "RCC" that I know of - so your claims could be right or wrong. Who knows? As for Protestant denominations not...

In other words - you have absolutely ZERO evidence for your moronic claims. That's what I thought . . .

You certainly DID allude to the false ideas that: a. Ignatius named himself "Ignatius" b. Catholics "worship" him and other saints. c. Catholic saints added the title of "Saint" before their own names. You routinely make these kinds of idiotic claims - the you become indignant when somebody...

Like I said - sometimes I take real pleasure in publicly proving you wrong . . . From the United states conference of Catholic Bishops: The practice of Holy Communion under both kinds at Mass continued until the late eleventh century, when the custom of distributing the Eucharist to the...

Soooooo, you DON'T refer to Protestant sects as the Church?? You DON'T believe that you are the Church??

You can "disagree" all you want because that's NOT what I said. I said they they were teaching different doctrines - many of them on the ESSENTIALS. You need to pay attention to the conversation . . . WRONG. Not only do you have ORAL Catholic Tradition - you have the Canon of Scripture which...

The point is - if you're going to make a claim about what the Catholic Church teaches - you should go to the source, Einstein. Making it up as you go along simply shows your ignorance . . .

"Ratings"?? You know, Rollo - the more clueless you get, the more cryptic you become.

No, I'm describing Christ's Church - directly from the Word of God. If that's something YOU reject, then take it up with HIM - not me . . .

Can you give me an example of where Ignatius is in contradiction with John's Gospel regarding the Eucharist? Please be succinct.

Absolutely. Apparently - YOU didn't check the Catechism of the Catholic Church before sticking your foot in your mouth . . . Catechism of the Catholic Church I. "YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND HIM ONLY SHALL YOU SERVE" 2084 God makes himself known by recalling his all-powerful loving...

Actually - that's not the way the Church is described in Scripture. Allow me to educate you . . . - 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...
