Tell me something. With Ignatius writing at the beginning of the 2nd century to a Church far off (Smyrnaea) - how long do you think it took back then for a title to spread and become established?? There was no internet, no email, no snail mail, no newspapers, no 6:00 news - NOTHING but word of...

Let's stop right here. You are correct - sort of. The Church in Rome is the "Roman Church" - just like the Church in London is the "London Church" and the Church in Los Angeles is the "Los Angeles Church". HOWEVER - in this instance, the "Roman Church" simply refers to the location or the...

And you accuse ME of posting falsehoods. Where do you get the idea that Catholics only consider other Catholics to be Christians?? I have stated repeatedly that a Protestant is a non-Catholic CHRISTIAN. I have nothing against Protestants. I have many Protestant siblings and friends - and I...

No - and here's why . . . Mormons us the correct wording (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). Unfortunately, they don't believe in the Trinity and deny the deity of Christ. Therefore, they're "Trinitarian" Baptism is not Trinitarian at all because it's based on a heresy.

WRONG. Ignatius of Antioch's writings are the first place we see "The Catholic Church" being used as a TITLE - not a mere description. His Letter to the Smyrnaeans was written at the beginning of the 2nd century - while the Apostle John was still alive: Ignatius of Antioch Follow your bishop...

Yes, Pia - you ARE making up your own rules and you HAVE said that you don't need the Body. YOU claim that Jesus appeared to you and after some discourse - YOU asked Him if you should join a Church - and basically, He said that you were okay by yourself. This kind of "Lone Rangerism" is...

You were wrong - so there must be another explanation.

With all due respect - you are saying that God is keeping this big secret because He is the Author of confusion. Many people on this thread have said that they don't need a Church to guide them - that God teaches them personally when they read the Bible. My question - which is a valid one is...

That is GREAT advice. Stop lying and I'll go away . . .

And you've never been able top point to ONE . . .

Nastiness begins with the lies you've all been telling. Don't blame the the people who point out your sin - blame yourself for sinning . . .

Ummmm, can you show me where the BIBLE makes this claim?? Chapter and Verse, please. That would be great if every Christian was a Catholic as God wills - but tragically, this is not the case. You are a Protestant. BIG difference.

No problem.

There is no such thing as the "Roman Church". Sooooooo, what is a "Romanist"??

"Together" with WHOM?? Which denomination are you in this "together" with? Some Protestant denominations believe in baptismal regeneration, while others do not. Some believe in soul-sleep, while others do not. Some believe in the total depravity of man, while others do not. Some believe in the...

You can't be serious. Do you even understand what a "double negative" is?? Pia said that I lean on "nothing but the writings". I told her that I DON'T lean on "nothing but the writings" - but on Sacred Tradition as well. Take an English course, pal . . .

Stranger - are you reading the posts - or just lashing out again?? I don't "blame" Protestants for anything other than rebellion. But, that's between YOU and the God you rebel against. And what the heck is a "Romanist"??

YOU talk about treating others as "enemies" while you spew every sort of lying filth against Catholics on this forum. You only become angry with people lie me for exposing your lies. What utter hypocrisy . . .

WHAT are you talking about Stranger?? I never said that Catholics don't lean on Sacred Tradition. Go back and READ Pia's charge - and my answer . . .

The entire basis of Protestantism is to cause division because it was born of ecclesial divorce. God HATES Divorce (Evil 2:16). You can't get more divided than Protestantism . . .
