No - Scripture claims that the Church has the Authority to teach what Scripture and Tradition say (2 Thess. 2:15). It doesn't give the individual leeway to usurp the Church's Authority.
I believe Christ's Church IS a body OF WHO, which ARE converted People, by and though such individual People accepting His Offer to BE Converted by and through Him.
You perpetuate Christ's Church IS a Building made up a body of WHO, which are people who are called Catholics and members of the Catholic Church by and through Catholic traditions and ceremonies.
No - this is completely accurate.
No, it is not.
An anti-Catholic is a person who resorts to lying and perpetuating myths and fairy tales about what the Catholic Church believes and teaches.
Again you fail to comprehend.....even your own claims.
You said you were a "cradle Catholic". A wee baby Catholic...
That is the first point. In the Catholic tradition children are taught THEY ARE CATHOLICS, before they EVER CHOOSE TO BE CATHOLIC!
That second point is....MANY "baby Catholics" DO NOT attend Catholic Schools, or take Catholic "classes" to learn what they ARE SUPPOSED to "claim" on behalf of the Catholic Church.
THEY claim, "they ARE Catholic", attend Church a FEW times a year...occasionally...but certainly on Easter and Christmas...and of course take part in the Catholic traditions and ceremonies.
And? THEY speak for themselves as to HOW THEY Understand AND DO....prayers with their beads, worship to Mary, saying they can not enter Heaven with going THROUGH Her, hand signals across their chest making a cross gesture, commit crimes and then ask the Priests forgiveness, claim the pope IS their Christ on earth, claim they pray TO statues who similitude
Is supposed to be Jesus and Mary also. And a whole host of other claims.
You want to blast Protestants, for repeating what YOUR CATHOLIC BROTHERS have claimed.
Sorry dude, YOU be responsible for your Catholic Brothers and what THEY say....Because I am not.
And you saying...an anti-Catholic is one who lies and perpetuates myths about Catholic teaching......IS funny....
When the lies and myths come from men who are Catholics and AS I POINTED OUT, apparently UNEDUCATED in what they ARE "AS A CATHOLIC"....SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE but missed the "teaching" that TELLS THEM what they are supposed TO BELIEVE!
They purposely misrepresent the Church.
Nonsense. You seem oblivious that ALL Catholics do not believe the EXACT same things, nor make the same Claims.
To PURPOSELY misrepresent "your" Church, one would FIRST have to KNOW precisely all "your" Church's Teaching!
Most protestants are not Interested in "your" Church's teachings. And MANY Catholics Don't KNOW "your" Church's teachings, apparently they also are not "interested". Not my problem.
A person who simply "disagrees" with Catholic teaching is NOT an "anti-Catholic."
Your opinion? Or Catholic teaching?
No - a person who is inventing revised history can be proven wrong by being shown the actual history.
Well that could be debated. Since Catholic History doesn't necessarily MEAN actual history. Remember You are the one who said it was the Catholic Church, (obviously not the building but men in a position to Declare the Churches position,) and THEY were ones who FILLED IN what was supposedly MISSING from Scripture.
An anti-Catholic will insist that HIS revisionism is correct -
And what will a Catholic insist....HIS revisionism is what?
Correct or Wrong ?
So that would make the Catholic and anti-Protestant...?
even when he is proven wrong. This has happened to a LOT of you guys on this forum.
What you fail to comprehend is .... Your perspective is Catholicism IS ALWAYS Correct, and that the problem with Protestants is not ALL men AGREE Catholicism IS ALWAYS Correct.
It is NOT anti anything....It is a disagreement.
One thing about history - it already happened, so you can't lie about it if somebody else knows the truth . . .
History "can not be changed"? Sure it can.
Didn't the Catholics "Change History", by claiming Peter is the First pope?
Peter never claimed to be a pope.
No one appointed Peter a pope.
No one called Peter a pope.
Yet at some point someone within the Catholic Church declared Peter IS the first pope.
That is INVENTED history.
on ALL counts.
First of all - when somebody simply "disagrees" with Catholic teaching - I usually leave them alone.
It's ONLY when those posts become ANTI-Catholic that I get involved.
Which simply means; When they state their position that ALSO happens to NOT be a Catholic position........you get involved and begin your accusatory and derragatory implications....as if that is suppose to convince others your position is correct,
when YOU DO NOT do your so called USUAL!
When somebody had completely misrepresented the Catholic position - Like YOU do on a daily basis.
Oh good grief... I could quote all day long silly nonsense Catholics have told me....and your comeback would be against me....not your own Catholic brother .... already had that experience with you!
Honesty has NOTHING to do with being in agreement with ME.
Sure it is about YOU. You set yourself up for it being about you.
YOU the teacher. YOU the educator. YOU who decides who is Wrong. YOU who decides who is honest. YOU who decides who is Anti-Catholic. YOU who decides a Protestant ONLY has been taught by Catholics. YOU who scours the forums searching for anyone who does not agree with YOU.
Uh, ya, you make it about YOU.
You can be
honest and
not agree with me at
ALL.
And now YOU are going to lecture me on HOW TO BE Honest according to YOU?
Pfft. I don't require your perspective. I am quite capable of being precise in what I do not agree with you, and have done so.
There are a few - VERY FEW non-Catholics on this forum who are that honest
What YOU proclaim is "that honest", (disagreeing with ALL) is nonsense.
- and I have many charitable conversations with them.
Really? You have "charitable" conversations with people who have claimed they disagree with ALL you say. Funny.
Did you first agree on what A "charitable" conversation is? Lol
