No - Paul went to the Apostles for authoritative decisions. Have you not read Acts 15? Paul was in communion with the rest of the Apostles. In case you forgot - they were ALL dispersed to different regions spreading the Gospel.

No - you are a member of a group that is only one out of tens of thousands of perpetually-splintering groups. ALL of these groups - and their residual "Lone Ranger" believers got their set of beliefs and doctrines from a personal interpretation of the Scriptures. EACH founder of these groups...

No - I don't need the "community" to decide anything. Your own words convict you. I already proved that some of those things are lies. Now . . . WHY would you say that the church has placed "too much power" in the hands of the clergy? WHY are you also attending Quaker services if you believe...

I didn't even have to leave this thread to get some examples of anti-Catholic remarks and flat-out lies. This doesn't include the anti-Catholic lies you've told on other threads. . . . Post # 1082: As far as Vatican I is concerned - it is very likely that I would have never joined the Catholic...

The fact that you won't post them in context speaks volumes about the fact that you have no case.

Let me see . . . a person who has been caught in endless lies is vouching for another person who lies. That makes sense . . .

Hey - I stick with truth . . .

Translation: "I cherry-picked your quotes, so please don't ask me to expose my deceit!"

I'm not "worried" about why anybody has a lack of faith - except for my family. My question to YOU was asked out of simple curiosity - and which you have yet to answer: Why would you stay in a church if you disagreed with its teachings?? I'll simplify the question: Do you believe that Christ...

No - there is no "Roman" Church. There IS the Catholic Church - and there is the Latin or "Roman" RITE. You're a Protestant, ergo, you are not part of the Catholic Church. You're part of one of the tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering sects that ALL teach different...

Ahhhh, I should have seen that. My bad . . .:eek:

Thanks - but that doesn't answer the question. I asked which of the tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering Protestant sects has it right - and which ones have it wrong?? They ALL got their interpretations from Scripture - yet they ALL teach different doctrines. You...

Soooo, you believe that God can tell somebody that homosexual union is wrong and another that it is good? You believe that God can tell some people that Soul Sleep is a reality and tell others that is is a farce? He is not the God of confusion. MEN did that with their flawed interpretations -...

Why would you say it wasn't real? It was absolutely real. When I said they were an "example" - I didn't mean that they were a fairy tale. They were made an example for ALL of us.

Who are YOU to say that we will see Ananias ans Sapphira in Heaven? That is only for GOD to decide - not you. They were punished because they lied to GOD. This is another prime example of people who had an epignosis of Christ and LOST it all by their own doing.

Then can you address why there are so many different sects teaching different doctrines - ALL based from different interpretations of the same Scriptures? Some of the differences I listed in post #663 are differences in ESSENTIALS. How is it that the Holy Spirit would guide people to such...

Give me time. I'd have to go back and glean all of your anti-Catholic remarks from other threads. I could chalk up many f them to sheer ignorance because it's obvious to anybody with a rudimentary understanding of the Catholic Church that you don't know much about it.

According to simply logic. Why would you stay in a church if you disagreed with its teachings??

If that person formally brought their disagreements before the Church - they might be excommunicated . However, if they chose to stay in the pews and hold to these views - then they would be hypocrites. Why anybody would stay in a church that they disagree with is an exercise in stupidity.

Well - I had hoped that the explanation would have helped you to understand - but I wasn't holding my breath. It's almost like talking to a wall - without the sincerity, that is . . .
