Praise God then for those brain damaging powers of sola scriptura.

Like I said - that's great preachin'.
As for me - I don't possess the charisma of infallibility like the Pope does - and I never claimed to.
Oh please........I don't belong to any system, I was very fortunate to find out I belong to ChristYou wrote:
The errors we make most often is that we don't 'Rightly divide the word of Truth' and sadly those who continued the Church, did it in an incorrect way, by mixing it with pagan rituals and festivals, thus diluting the Truth, and sadder still, they are the ones to this day, who keep believers bound, to a man put together system, our Lord never intended,...I replied:
The underlined above is an absolute falsehood. Do we tell lies about your system?

To narrow it down so you can see exactly what I am objecting to the most:
"mixing it with pagan rituals and festivals" This LIE has never been proven. It was invented by atheists and fund/evang largely from the 18th century. Please read the link and avoid embarrassing yourself in the future.

So you believe that shepherds were out in the fields with the sheep at the end of December in Israel ? Where do you believe the council at Nicene ( was it? ) got the dates from, they decided to make our Christmas and Easter ( at least that is near Passover, I think )? Or were those dates decided by the Emperor, or the murdering General, who first outlawed it, killing Christians that is ? I must say it's ages since I read those books, so I do apologize if I don't get the whole thing right, but I am sure you do get where I am coming from at least ? This time we ARE specifically discussing the Catholic church, but I want to make this clear.....I have nothing against those who call themselves Catholics, only the system put in place which was called The Roman Catholic Church ( the mother is it ? )was that for me ? I'm not sure what it means
I don't judge anybody for "disagreeing" with me. Everybody is entitle top their opinion.And yet, you continue to judge everyone who disagrees with you......hmm
Infallibility isn't a trait of ANY human being - but a charism of the Holy Spirit (John 16:12-15).The charisma like the pope does........infallibility ! This is for real, someone actually wrote that.....No wonder it's a massive mess, when men elevate themselves or allow others to elevate them to such a ludicrous extent.... Not ONE is infallible, apart from Christ Jesus. IF any of the popes had been infallible there would have been a great long cue in heaven when one was looked for to be worthy to open the seals...It states that John wept, as no one could be found, and then THE LAMB of God came forward and was found worthy to open them, not even the virgin Mary. Seems to me someone is missing something......
That's interesting because there is no "Roman Catholic Church."So you believe that shepherds were out in the fields with the sheep at the end of December in Israel ?

Hmmm, dear sir, I am PiaI don't judge anybody for "disagreeing" with me. Everybody is entitle top their opinion.
I judge a person's lies and falsehoods - not the person.
I have had many charitable exchanges with people like ByGrace, who disagrees with many Catholic positions.
The difference between posters like ByGrace and mrhealth or Job or Pia or YOU - is that ByGrace doesn't resort to spewing LIES.
BIG difference . . .
Yes - and I was responding to Aspen's post #1542 . . .Hmmm, dear sir, I am Pia

And again - I don't "despise" anybody. That's a false accusation of YOURS.
Nice try...but you have been personally belligerent to many and call most of us here more names than just "lair."And again - I don't "despise" anybody. That's a false accusation of YOURS.
I despise LIES.
As long as a person debates without resorting to lying - I have no problem with it.
Everybody has a right to their opinions.

Can you point to ONE instance of name-calling?Nice try...but you have been personally belligerent to many and call most of us here more names than just "lair."
When a non-Catholic poster wants to have a charitable exchange - I engage in charitable conversation.Yet you rely on ad hominem.
When a non-Catholic poster wants to have a charitable exchange - I engage in charitable conversation.
When a poster starts out by spewing lies and falsehoods - I rebuke and correct them.
It's usually the anti-Catholic who begins the ad hominem exchange . . .
Oh, that would be a job for an executioner. Off the top of my head I imagine there are as many as the number of your posts...Can you point to ONE instance of name-calling?
Can you point to ONE instance where I called somebody a "Liar"??
Telling somebody that they just told a lie is not "name-calling".
If I call them a "Liar" - then that is name-calling.
Try being honest, for a change, huh?
How is that "deflecting", Einstein??
an uneducated anti-Catholic like yourself
hypocrites like yourself
"idolatry", Einstein??
"false" image, Einstein??
Got it now, sparky?
simply a description, Einstein.
you're just blowing more of your ignorant hot wind . . .
What a hypocrite.
WORSHIP them as gods, Einstein.
Job, bbyrd, Sword and mrhlth are gluttons
you a hypocrite . . .
conspiracy loons.
That's interesting because there is no "Roman Catholic Church."
The official name of the Church is, "The Catholic Church".
You, Stranger and others haven't done your homework - and that's why you use this false title in ignorance . . .
And I'm not here to convert people.The term anti-Catholic is Ad Hominem. I've gone back to the beginning of your posts on this thread and it is difficult to find anything, which does not contain ad hominien or baiting comments. You appear to accuse people of lying with the same vigor and inaccuracy (misspelled as lieing - I wouldn't want to be inaccurate and be called a liar) as a Puritan looking for witches. The language you use clearly communicates contempt with everyone who disagrees with you and you show it with your consistent drumbeat of accusations and wild assumptions. A few Catholics who have posted here, seem to be the only people who get away with not being noticed by you; i think that is probably the best response a person can hope for from you - like most people with narcissistic tendencies, you appear to 'level' friend and foe. It is hard to imagine anyone appreciating your negative comments, let alone, learning anything from you besides perhaps, Catholic contempt/condescension (here is a hint: Protestants can smell contempt from Catholics a mile away - if there is anything a Catholic can do to promote the truth of the Church, it is to drop any whiff of contempt or condescension). Yet, this appears to be your witness - you could learn from the article from the Pope, which I posted. It is up to you if you want to view it as an attack or a blessing
