I thought Christians were forgiven
The finished work of Christ and cannot sin anymore after they join the “faith alone” cult?
I know that most Protestants don't say the argument correctly, but it's "righteousness apart from works", not "faith alone". 'Faith alone' is condemned in the scriptures. Protestants have a bad habit of rightly arguing for "righteousness apart from works" but erroneously using the phrase "faith alone" to defend it. But their theology is in fact in the right place. Just as believing Abraham was declared legally righteous apart from his work, so us believers are declared legally righteous apart from our work. This is the truth that escapes the Catholic religion.

Tell me which part of the following verses that you have difficulty with:

John 14:6

"I am the way, the TRUTH and the life ...".
1 Tim. 3:15).if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the CHURCH of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the TRUTH.
Luke 10:16Whoever listens to YOU listens to ME. Whoever rejects YOU rejects ME. And whoever rejects ME rejects the ONE who sent ME."Disobey the pillar of truth - and you disobey HIM, who IS the truth.
Get it now?

Jesus is all wisdom.
He is indeed the Way and the Truth and the Life.
Jesus is Eternal Life.
Jesus is Grace and Salvation and The Resurrection.
Truth exists, because God/Christ/HS , who are the TRUTH... exit.

What isn't the truth, is "born again by water", as your water cult teaches according to the "cult of the Virgin's" demonic bible that created this doctrine of Devil's blasphemy against the Gospel , that you teach.

God founded the Church on Jesus and the BLood of Jesus.

Peter was just a simple minded fisherman who had to be corrected by Paul, many years after Christ was back in Heaven.

Peter is not a Pope, and Peter is not the foundation of anything except a couple of epistles, and in the 2nd one, He states that Paul's letters are equal to the TORAH........they are "scripture".
So, that is an original apostle, stating that a later Apostle's letters are BIBLE, when Peter had them in his hands.

no scripture supports that nonsense

God founded the church on Jesus No!


Matt 16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

only Jesus Christ builds His church (one singular)

Founded on Peter’s person!

Fathers have care of their children, spiritual fathers care for our souls!

Pope, papa, father, yes spiritual father!

Isa 22 father

Christ is the head of the church!
Peter is appointed by Christ as the head of the church on earth!
Supreme pastor and teacher of the faithful! Matt 16:18

Matt 10:2
First apostle Peter:

Matt 17:27
Jesus and Peter are one:
Jesus even works a miracle to make this point. 27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

Mt 16:18 Peter received the keys of the kingdom: (jurisdictional authority of the universal church) and the power to bind and loose:

Lk 22:32
Peter commanded to confirm his breathren:

Lk 22:32
Jesus prays for Peter:

Jn 21:17
Peter commanded to Feed my sheep:

Matt 10:2
Peter is the prince of the apostles, head of the universal church on earth!

Jn 20:21-23
Peter and the apostles receive the Holy Spirit and the power to forgive sins:

Acts 1:15 1:17 1:26
Peter declares Judas office of apostle valid and vacant and chooses a successor:

Acts 2:14
Peter preaches the first sermon on Pentecost:

Acts 2:38
Peter requires baptism as the outward sign and initiation into the new covenant!

Acts 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

Acts 5 authority of the apostles verified by them being stricken dead by God verifying Matt 16:18 matt 18:18 whatsoever you bind on earth is bound in heaven and the apostles have the light of the Holy Spirit!


1 Tim 1 Paul is Timothy’s spiritual father.
1 Jn 2:1 little children are adult Christians, John is their spiritual father.

Apostles have Care for our souls
(Acts 20:28 Jn 21:17 Heb 13:17)

You're no different than many Protestant denominations that claim they know the one true way to serve and worship God. It isn't about the correctness of how you do church. That's not what Christianity is about. It's about how you live according to the fruit of the Spirit. God will just have to show you this. You won't see it on your own.

17For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18For whoever serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men. Romans 14:17-18

See, while you, and many Protestants, are arguing about procedures and ceremonies and foods and religious rites, and doctrines, God is telling those who can hear how to live. It's the narrow way and the road that few find. Most Christians take satisfaction out of believing correct things about God and Jesus and the gospel and think the correctness of their thinking and believing and correct church procedures are what it means to be on the narrow road. No, not even remotely true. How you live is what it means to find and walk on the narrow road that few find that leads to life.

Jesus Christ continues HIS ministry in His new covenant church thru Peter, the apostles, and their successors with the same mission, power, and authority!

Prove it. You can't because in order to prove it, you need to use scripture alone, which defeats your position.

Only cos you believe scripture alone!

I looked at your list...it consists of contentions that certain people have of how the kjv should have been translated.

The KJV has many errors. Well intentioned translators but fallible.

The errors of the KJV is not why I do not read it. It's (near) Middle English is what disqualifies it for my use. It's virtually unreadable to me, very unpleasant. Another poster said they had to keep referring to the dictionary. "Boiled stew" used words that are archaic now.

That's nonsense - and it ONLY applies to Catholic books and documents.

Some
of the sources I presented to YOU were NON-Catholic/anti-Hislop sources.
I even gave you a blatantly ANTI-Catholic/anti-Hislop source.

WOW.
You're a LOT more ignorant than I gave you credit for.

- Limbo was never an official doctrine of the Catholic Church.
- The Catholic Church didn't com up with the idea of Purgatory - SCRIPTURE did (2 Macc. 42-46, 1 Cor. 3:12-15, Matt. 5:25-26, Matt. 12:32, Matt. 18:32-35 and Luke 12:58-59).
- Eating meat on Friday during Lent can STILL be a mortal sin.
- Brown Scapulars don't keep you ourt of hell - unless you endure in faith to the end (Matt. 24:13).
- Indulgences don't get ANYBODY out of Purgatory.
- The Church announced an anathema against ANYONE reading the Bible? PROVE it.

Either do your HOMEWORK - or don't post this manure. I'm embarrassed for you.
Of course - this is ALL just a pathetic dodge since I obliterated your "Hislop/Two Babylons" nonsense . . .

1. You presented 1 anti Hsilop souce, that woodrow fella.

2. Maybe not an offical doctrine, but a widely held teaching in the church as it is found even in catechisms and in the Catholic Bible section of chruch teachings.

3. Purgatory is a full blown Catholic teaching. They used OT teachings and perverted them. As for the Matthew passages, the RCC reinterpreted them to defend a place where they believe Jesus blood was not enough to cleanse the believer from all their sin. PUrgatory denies the efficacy of the blood fo Jesus and is a blasphemy.

4. Eating meat may be a sin to the Catholic church, but not to God! And He matters the most.

5. I wish I still had one of my brown scapulars fro when I was a kid! And enduring to the end is a misapplication of that Scripture.

6. Well I agree indulgences don't get anybody out of purgatory, because it doesn't exist. But you need to read Catholic History. They sold them until 1567 and in 2000 returned indulgences to teh church and they proclaim they can reduce ones sentence in purgatory!

As for an anethema against biblereading?

The Index Librorum Prohibitorum[a] of the Catholic Church included various translations of the Bible. In most cases, the bans on pious lay people possessing or using Bibles were related to vernacular Bible editions. Clerics were never forbidden to possess the Vulgate Bible translation in the Latin language.

People were forbidden under penalty of excommunication from reading the Bible in the common vernaculars. Only the latin was allowed and almost all parishners were illiterate in Latin, nor could afford a vulgate. Not even all medieval churches had a vulgate and ones who did tended to bolt them and chain them to protect them. REad church history.

The Brown Scapular (also known as the Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, or simply as the Scapular) is the most popular scapular. It was given to Simon Stock by Our Lady of Mount Carmel, who promised him that "whoever dies clothed in this scapular shall not suffer the eternal flames."

Obliterate Hislop??? really?????? all you did was post a few quotes from one author. I wouldn't even call that putting a notch in wood!

Don't need the glories of Mary when I have the bible!

Well The RCC version of salvation is in contradiction with the bible teaching on salvation. though many Catholics are living saved and do not know it for the Catholic church denies the eternal security the blood of Jesus gives to those who trust its efficacy.

Romanism teaches one can lose their salvation, or that if someone is not good enough, they have to pya for some of their sins, which means Jesus did not pay for all sins, just some fo them- and that is a lie!.

WRONG again.

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit - in the CONTEXT that Jesus described in Matt. 12:22-32 is about final impenitence.
The Pharisees accused Jesus of using the power of demons to cst out demons - but they KNEW that this could only be from God.

I know "context" is a painful word for you - but you need to understand it so you won't continue vomiting out our perverse doctrines . . .


As it appears to be for you as well. YOu are half right.

the Pharisees knew Jesus was Messiah, but rejected HIm. Blaspemy of the spirit is not final impenitence of an individual, but was a national sin that only the nation of Israel could commit.

IN CONTEXT, the sin was accussing Jesus of exrcism by using demonic spirits. He announced judgment agains t THAT GENERATION! And that judgment was meted out in 70 AD as Jesus expounded in Luke 21.

Just so you know, I was Catholic. I left when I was ordered to either recant some teachings, leave, or face a dominican tribunal for heresy.

I had studied for the priesthood, still have a full catholic catechism and a catholic action family bible with loads of things the church taught as late as 1940 when the Bible was published. I know what I talk of!

LOL Generally speaking, words are not alive.
Paul is not talking about words; he is talking about the promise of a Sabbath Rest. And he isn't saying that the word of God is "alive"; he is saying that the promise hasn't failed and neither has it been nullified.

Where in the Bible does it say that the Apostles have successors? It doesn't say anything like that.

saint Alphonse Lugori doctor of the church
Glories of Mary interpretation of many scriptures concerning Mary!

with many commentaries

Example:


THE Holy Church justly honors the great Vir gin Mary, and would have her honored by all men with the glorious title of queen, because she has been elevated to the dignity of mother of the King of kings. If the Son is king, says St. Athan- asius, his mother must necessarily be considered and entitled queen.* From the moment that Mary consented, adds St. Bernardine of Sienna, to become the mother of the Eternal Word, she merited the title of queen of the world and all creatures. f If the flesh of Mary, says St. Arnold, abbot, was the flesh of Jesus, how can the moth er be separated from the Son in his kingdom?

The eternal Father constituted Jesus Christ king of justice, and therefore made him the universal judge of the world; hence the prophet sang: & “Give to the king thy judgment, Oh God; and to the king s son thy justice.” Here a learned interpreter takes up the subject, and says: Oh Lord, thou hast given to thy Son thy justice, because thou hast given to the mother of the king thy mercy And St. Bonaventure happily varies the passage above quoted by saying: Givetothekingthyjudgment,OhGod, and to his mother thy mercy. || Ernest, Arch bishop of Prague, also says, that the eternal Father has given to the Son the office of judging and punishing, and to the mother the office of
* Regnum Dei consistit in potestate et misericordia; potestateDeo remanente, cessit quodammodo misericordise pars matri regnanti. Psal. iii. Tr. 4th, S. Magn.
t Quando filium Dei in utero concepit, et post modum peperit, dimidiam pattern regni Dei impetravit, ut ipsa sit regina misericordiae, nt Christus est rex justitiae.
Deus judicium tuum regi da; et justitiam tuam filio regis. Peal. fexi. 2.5 QuiamisericordiamtuamdedistiMatriRegi.
Deus judicium tuum regi da, et misericordiam tuam matri
Ijus.

GLORIES OF MARY. 29
compassionating and relieving the wretched.* Therefore the Prophet David predicted that God himself, if I may thus express it, would consecrate Mary queen of mercy, anointing her with the oil of gladness,! in order that all of us
miserable children of Adam might rejoice in the thought of having in heaven that great queen, so full of the unction of mercy and pity for us; as St. Bonaventure says: Oh Mary, so full of the unction of mercy and the oil of pity, that God has anointed thee with the oil of gladness !


Doctrine of St. Francis of Sales upon Devotion to Mary.

HOLY Church, speaking of the most Blessed Virgin, says that she went up from the desert of
this world flowing with delights, leaning upon her Beloved. In fact, all the praises bestowed upon
the Saints, and upon Mary in particular, terminate in Christ our Lord ; because all these praises should be directed to the glory of her Divine Son, Who led her by His grace to the most exalted
degree of merit and happiness.
It is related in Scripture that the Queen of Saba,
taking a multitude of gifts to Jerusalem, offered themalltoSolomon. ItisthusthatalltheSaints
act and the Mother of God especially. She is ever attentive to recognise that her virtues, her
perfections, her merits, and her happiness proceed from the mercy of her Divine Son, Who is alone
their source, their origin, and perfection : Soli Deo honor et gloria. All honour and glory to God alone ; all should return to Him, because from
Him alone is every perfect gift.

6. Well I agree indulgences don't get anybody out of purgatory, because it doesn't exist. But you need to read Catholic History. They sold them until 1567 and in 2000 returned indulgences to teh church and they proclaim they can reduce ones sentence in purgatory!

As for an anethema against biblereading?

The Index Librorum Prohibitorum[a] of the Catholic Church included various translations of the Bible. In most cases, the bans on pious lay people possessing or using Bibles were related to vernacular Bible editions. Clerics were never forbidden to possess the Vulgate Bible translation in the Latin language.

People were forbidden under penalty of excommunication from reading the Bible in the common vernaculars. Only the latin was allowed and almost all parishners were illiterate in Latin, nor could afford a vulgate. Not even all medieval churches had a vulgate and ones who did tended to bolt them and chain them to protect them. REad church history.

The Brown Scapular (also known as the Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, or simply as the Scapular) is the most popular scapular. It was given to Simon Stock by Our Lady of Mount Carmel, who promised him that "whoever dies clothed in this scapular shall not suffer the eternal flames."

Obliterate Hislop??? really?????? all you did was post a few quotes from one author. I wouldn't even call that putting a notch in wood!
WRONG.

1. I gave you FIVE links debunking Hislop's excrement:

Alexander Hislop's "The Two Babylons" is Not Reliable
Nimrod & Alexander Hislop DEBUNKED (THE TRUTH about Nimrod, Hislop & Semiramis)


2. WRONG. Limbo was ALWAYS just a way of tryinhg to reason what happens to the unbaptized child.

3. As I proved to you - the idea of Final Purification (Purgatory) and praying for the dead finds its origins in Judaism and the OT (2 Macc. 42-46). And again - it is also taught in the NT (1 Cor. 3:12-15, Matt. 12:32, Matt. 18:32-35 and Luke 12:58-59).

4. Eating meat was NEVER the issue. It was ALWAYS about disobedience and a rejection of the truth.
YOUR ignorance is noted . . .

5. NOWHERE does the Church teach that wearing a brown scapular alone wil save you. That's an anti-Catholic LIE.

6.
The Church NEVER sold indulgences. this was an ABUSE that was comitted by a few people like Johann Tetzel in Germany.
Do your homework.

Oh - and people were forbidden from TRANSATING unauthorized versions of the Bible into different languages.
The reason for this was BAD translations and perverted doctrine - like the ones YOU practice . . ..
