Ummmm, according to the timeline YOU posted above - this is well within that time, sparky . . . "Roman Catholic" is a derogatory term that we first hear in Henry VIII's England. Good grief - can't you read?? First of all - at the Council of Jerusalem, the Apostles present spoke with the...

Wrong, Stranger. There WAS a splintering of the Church at the Protestant Revolt. The splintering that happened after that was NOT withing the Church - but within Protestantism. This perpetual splintering continues . . . As for doctrine - there is NO room for doctrinal differences. This is...

And all of this strikes me as a massive rationalization. "I didn't abandon Christ's Church - I found another way." This is precisely why you make ludicrous statements like "When you come to love the truth above your church the delusion may be removed... " There is NO such thing as loving the...

Your false idea that God does our works FOR us is Scripturally-Bankrupt. Eph 2:10 states that he PREPARED works in advance for US to complete. The works spoken of in Matt. 25:31-46 are those very things that God prepared for US to do - and gives us the choice to do them or to NOT do them...

I didn't say that the Church is splintered - I said that all of your non-Catholic factions are splintered - and continue to splinter. The Unity of the Church is FROM the Holy Spirit who unites us through common doctrine. The fact that you have such disregard for doctrine is a perfect witness to...

The text above in RED solidifies the fact that you have absolutely ZERO evidence for your false claims of "Romanism" and a "Roman" Church. Dozens of false claims and it all leads up to this: Squat. Your woeful ignorance of history doesn't help you because you can't even understand that it was...

And all of this smacks of the same denial that I've seen in your other posts. Jesus and His Church are inseparable (Acts 9:4-5, Heb. 1:22-23). The bottom line is that Jesus said that those who rejected His Church rejected HIM. You did precisely that when you abandoned your Catholic faith in...

WE do. God prepared them for US to do (Eph. 2:10, Matt. 25:31-46).

Yup - I see Him every time I receive Him in the Eucharist. As for my actions on this forum - they are mere REactions to the lies, myths and falsehoods spewn by you and your anti-Catholic cronies here. The ONLY think I attack here are lies and misrepresentations. I simply expose the ones telling...

And the love that Paul is describing in 1 Cor. 13 amounts to WORKS and NOT a simple intellectual assent. Faith is works and works are faith. This is why Luther called the Epistle of James the "Epistle of Straw" and wanted to remove it from the canon of Scripture. Had it not been for the...

Careful - your ignorance is showing again . . . The term "Roman Catholic Church" was a derogatory term born in Henry VIII's England. There is not one document, declaration or dereee prior to Henry VIII that speaks of the "Roman Catholic Church". As for Timothy's Bishopric - this is hardly a...

And yet, the Word of God tells us that of the three great virtues or Faith, Hope and Love - the greatest of these is LOVE and not faith. Love is something you DO - something you SHOW. 1 Cor. 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong...

NOT according to the Holy Spirit speaking through James. James explicitly marries works and belief to equal faith: James 2:17-26 So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is DEAD. Indeed someone might say, "You have faith and I have works." Demonstrate your faith to me without works...

WRONG. Acts 1:20 is about Apostolic Succession. It's not about a simple "replacement". It's about taking over an OFFICE - a Bishopric - not a missing puzzle piece. You can't just wish away "Episkopay" . . . Secondly - Timothy was a Bishop of Ephesus...

Is secular liberalism more "moral" than exposing it?

Such outrageous Scriptural and historical ignorance - it's difficult to know where to begin . . . This "Whore of Babylon" nonsense has been abandoned by almost every credible Protestant scholar because they realize that it is Jerusalem - and NOT the Catholic Church that is being referred to in...

Thank you for that verbose cut and paste job - but, what does that have to do with our conversation? YOU were making false claims about the Catholic Church not teaching you Scripture - and I proved you wrong - and THIS is your rebuttal??

And, as I already showed you guys - James 2:14-26 explicitly deals with what faith actually is - and is includes works. Belief + works = Faith. Remember - even the demons believe - but they aren't saved . . .

I'm not trusting in men. I'm trusting in CHRIST, who is both man AND God. He guaranteed that the gates of Hell would NOT prevail against His Church - and that the Holy Spirit would guide it to ALL truth (John 16:12-15). And, in case you didn't know - the Bible is God-breathed (2 Tim. 3:16)...

Time for a Bible lesson . . . Timothy was a Bishop, who Paul was advising about passing on his authority in 2 Tim. 2:2. Time for another Bible lesson . . . In Acts 1, the Apostles choose a person to take over for Judas. In verse 21, it says, "May another take his OFFICE." The Greek word for...
