In Col. 2:16, we read where Paul tells us, “Let no one, then, pass judgment on you in matters of food and drink or with regard to a festival or new moon or SABBATH.” Anyway - in the New Testament, we find that the Apostles and the early Christians worshipped and broke bread (celebrated the...

Time for another Bible and linguistics lesson . . . I know YOU have a problem with the Papacy - but, as we read in Scripture - it was JESUS who instituted this office. As you know, the Lord said to Peter, “And so I say to you, you are Peter (Petros), and upon this rock (Petra) I will build my...

Then, if you're going to "proclaim" - make sure you have evidence for that proclamation. Don't just go off half-cocked, leveling false accusations. A better way of making the claim that you did would be something like, "If memory serves - didn't the Jerusalem Bible add and delete certain verses."

Boy - your ignorance of the Catholic Church is really astounding. The Pope is not a "king". He is the earthly head of the Church. Jesus Christ is the Head of the Body (Col. 1:18) who told Peter to feed His lambs and tend His flock (John 21:15-19). Explain to me how that makes the Church...

WRONG. The Law and the PROPHETS is the OT. The "Prophets" are the other books (Isaiah, Jerimiah, Daniel, etc.) They came AFTER Joshua. He was talking about THE LAW - not the Prophets. The word used in Joshua 1:8 is התורה (Torah) - which are the 5 Books of the LAW.

And YOU don't know your Bible. Jesus chose 12 leaders to watch over His flock, did He not? Do you think that after they died, the Church was just supposed to live on in chaos?? EVERY Protestant denomination has leadership. The difference is that the Catholic Church is the ONLY Church with an...

And, apparently, YOU have a reading comprehension deficiency. I never said that the Septuagint was a legend. I stated that certain aspects of the Letter of Aristeas were based on legend. I ALSO showed you proof that scholarly consensus states that scholars ACCEPT Aristeas’ account that the...

And AGAIN, you have not answered the question. You quoted a passage from Joshua, who was talking about the LAW - not the Bible. So, I ask you again: How IS a person told to study the Bible - and by WHOM??

1. NOPE – and the Church has never taught that salvation is a guarantee. As for John 16:12-15 about the Holy Spirit guiding the Church to ALL truth – this is based on a simple formula: When Jesus spoke to the crowds, He was preaching to every individual. HOWEVER, when He instructed His Apostles...

Really?? How IS a person told to study the Bible - and by WHOM??

First of all - translations aren't "inspired". If you believe that they ARE - then you are dead wrong. Secondly - give me some examples of what you are claiming about the Jerusalem Bible (deletions, repeated verses, deletion of verses, rearranging of verses). Evidence is KEY to an intellectual...

The verses above are NOT a guarantee to the individual - but top the CHURCH as a whole. As for your statement that you never said that "anyone" can interpret the Scriptures - WHO, then has the Authority to do it? Finally - Peter DID warn against self interpretation because so many were twisting...

WRONG. We have NOT established that 'The Letter of Aristeas was a "made up story." As a matter of fact - most scholars agree that portions of it are based on legend but that there is MUCH useful information in it (Michael S. Heiser, PhD, Hebrew Bible and Semitic Language, University of...

And THIS is a well-thought-out response?? Denial?? You need to explain away the verses of Scripture that emphatically show that YOU are wrong: The practice of telling our sins directly to a priest is based directly in Scripture. Three times in the Gospels (Matt. 16:19, 18:18 and John 20:23)...

Unfortunately, there are a LOT of people who read the Bible with the "Spirit as their guide." That's why there are almost 50,000 disjointed, perpetually-splintering Protestant sects - ALL teaching different doctrines yet ALL claiming to have "the Truth." That doesn't even include all of the...

As I told you back in post #46 - Kepha1 already answered that back in post #43. I suppose you're going to deny that there even is a post #43 . . . Anyway - Wisdom is part of the Old Testament that was removed by a Post-Christ, Post Temple Rabbinical school.

Wrong - I never had that discussion with you. You must be confusing me with somebody else. YOU asked a question: "What gives the popes authority to forgive sin?" I gave you a pretty comprehensive answer in post #32 - and you have failed to address it. Now - if you disagree with it - tell me...

Just like he did when he got the Armor of God reference in Eph. 6:13-17 from Wis. 5:17-20. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt . . .

Heliocentrism vs geocentrism is not a matter of doctrine so it really doesn't matter which side you fall on that subject. As for the current Pope - I think a LOT of non-Catholics like him because they misinterpret what he says. If they understood that he is NOT the pro-gay, pro-abortion...

Yes, the poorly catechized or unfaithful ones do.
