That isn't what I was talking about. Of course, there are true things taught in other sources. I had a math book as a kid that told me 1 + 1 = 2. That is true despite not being scripture. So, I'm not talking about "Sola Scriptura". It figures you would miss the point. What I'm saying is that you believe things that contradict what is taught in NT scriptures. Do you think there are any false teachings in the NT?
So in papistry, icons, numbers, and footnotes are inspired Scripture written by (in this case) Matthew.
That's because you're a moral relativist.
No - I focus on this because it ALL comes down to Authority.
Nope.
LOL! I'm a moral relativist because I don't let other people define what I believe? LOL! Keep the laughs coming, son. Do you have a PayPal account or Venmo or something that you can give me the info for? I feel like I should be paying you for all the laughs you've given me.
Okay, drama queen. When labels are this important to you, you know that you have issues and need to re-evaluate your life.
The church built upon the cornerstone of Jesus Christ Himself as well as all of the apostles and prophets (Ephesians 1:19-22). But, perhaps Ephesians 1:19-22 is not in your false Bible which would explain why you are not aware of this.
Your worship your false Church instead of Jesus Himself, the Rock and cornerstone of the church. May God have mercy on your soul for your idol worship.
Okay, you don't think there are any false teachings in the NT. So, why do you believe things that contradict things that are not taught in the NT then? You focus on some things that Calvinists believe, which I agree are false. But, there are other things that you believe besides those things that are false and contradict NT teachings. Such as the fact that the church is built upon the Rock and Cornerstone of Jesus Christ, not Peter (Ephesians 1:19-22). Peter is merely ONE of the many apostles and prophets that make up the foundation of the church. You putting Peter and his supposed successors on a pedestal is contrary to NT teaching.
Should we expect anything more from someone who redefines English words to fit his false claims?
I don't charge for Apologetics.
REALLY??
Ummmm, if it weren't for the Catholic Church - you wouldn't even HAVE a Bible, Einstein . . .
And if you knew your Bible - you would know that Jesus identified His very SELF with His Church (Acts 9:4-5, Eph. 1:22-23).
Are you being purposely dense? He is saying those footnotes and cross references themselves are not scripture. Very simple. Is this too hard for you to understand, Einstein, Junior?
Now you're getting violent.
By what authority do you interpret the Bible correctly? Are your interpretations consistent or parallel with anybody else or are you your own pope in church of one?
That's just your opinion.
That's funny - because I never said they were.
I wouldn't charge for that, either, if I was as bad at it as you are. But, your comedy, though. You sure you don't want any compensation for the laughs you have provided me? It's been a lot of them so far.
No, I can do better when I feel like it. But, are you claiming to not be an overly dramatic drama queen? You think arguing over who is or is not a Protestant is really worth a ton of your time and effort? As if what label you put on someone is the most important thing in the world?
LOL. I see that you like to be overly dramatic as well. Is this typical of Catholics? Are you encourage to be that way at your church?
LOL. I will never stop mocking your ridiculous beliefs. I don't mock every belief I disagree with. Some have at last some semblance of reasonableness to them. But, not some of your Catholic beliefs. They are just utterly ridiculous and deserve to be mocked and not taken seriously.
LOL. It seems that you would not recognize symbolism if it smacked you across the face.
I will. And I don't need your permission to do so.
Is that a threat? Who is the one being violent here?
What does that even mean? You need to repent of your false beliefs or you will NOT survive that in the end. That is what matters. If you continue to think that you can earn your own salvation, as Catholic doctrine teaches, then you will continue to be in spiritual darkness.
The Holy Spirit. And I couldn't care less if you agree or not. This is my honest answer to your question.
Of course they are. For example, I'm an Amillennialist. There are many thousands of us, at least. And, while I'm not a Calvinist I do believe that we are saved by faith and not by works. Millions of non-Calvinists agree with me on that.
Of course. We're all sharing our opinions here. It just so happens that my opinions are right and yours are wrong.
Try to follow along, Einstein Junior. This was your response:
Do you really think it was his point to say that his Bible didn't have footnotes and cross references? That is not at all what he was saying. He was saying footnotes and cross references themselves are not scripture. And this is how you respond? You missed his point just as badly as you miss the meaning of many scripture passages.EinsteinJunior said:
Well, if I believed half the lies you do about the Catholic faith, I would reject it too.
TEXT without CONTEXT is a PRETEXT.
Catholics are amillennialists too. "Good works" is not the same as "works of the law". Millions erroneously use the terms interchangeably. They are different words with different meanings.
Then you must believe your private interpretations are infallible.
Tell me even one lie that I believe about the Catholic faith.
No kidding. Anything else obvious you want to share that we all know?
What does that even mean?
That's making me have to rethink my beliefs on that then.
Are you talking to those people or to me? Could you try talking to me? I don't believe good works and works of the law are the same. Scripture teaches both that we are not saved by good works (Ephesians 2:8-10) and we are not saved by doing works of the law. Good works are things we do AFTER becoming saved (Ephesians 2:10) as we are led by the Holy Spirit who indwells us when we become saved AFTER repenting and putting our faith and trust in Christ as our Lord and Savior. We don't do good works in order to become saved or else we could boast about saving ourselves. Do you understand this? I don't believe Catholic doctrine teaches this.
My "private interpretations" that are shared by MANY other people? You must have a strange definition of private interpretations.
No, I'm overly dramatic just in forums when I am addressing self-righteous arrogant anti-Catholic bigots that end up in my ignore bin. They, like you, refuse to bend from false caricatures ignoring mountains of evidence to the contrary.
We think faith and reason are compatible. In fact, there is a whole encyclical on Faith and Reason.
Symbols don't give eternal life.
I have no idea what false beliefs you are talking about. There are no false beliefs in Catholicism. Just the ones dreamed up by arrogant anti-Catholics who don't have a clue what they are talking about and are too proud to be corrected.
That's exactly what I am talking about. I've seen this "earn your own salvation" myth a thousand times. It's taught by liars who know better but lie about it anyway. here's a sample.
Yup, and every heretic in the patristic period claimed the same thing.
Catholics are amillennialists too. Maybe we can find some common ground if you would stop trolling with stupid insults with every post.
p, it doesn't.
