Then why don't you re-apply those passages in a way that is accepted by all, instead of just saying they are "misapplied". Good luck with that, since you guys can't agree on anything. Purgatory was not "invented" by the Catholic Church. It began in kernel form out of Judaism, not the Catholic...

@amadeus I think a list of essential doctrines can be found in the Nicene Creed, which is accepted by the owners of this forum. I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten...

"...the way to agreement regarding disputed points of doctrine is the way of faith itself, grounded in essential truths about God and Christ. The hierarchy of truths also has application in the Church’s catechetical activity: "This hierarchy does not mean that some truths pertain to faith itself...

>How can the Catholic Church's claims be true when so many Catholics are so dead? The Church only claims to announce the Good News of Jesus Christ, and it invites everyone to embrace the life of grace He offers. It does not claim that people who spurn its teachings and reject its life will be...

>Most of the Catholics I know don't take it seriously. They're worldly and secular and they don't seem to care about Jesus or the Gospel at all. G.K. Chesterton once said that the best argument against Christianity is Christians. That is certainly true of Catholicism. Pope John Paul II...

Parishes have not usually had Latin Masses now for over 55 years, but some people are still complaining about it.

Brilliant! You are repeating what I said! There is hope! Why did you list "Sunday" as a Catholic heresy? No, you don't. That's the most honest thing you have said in this Catholic bashing thread.

Surviving GerhardEbersoehn So Called Heresies blood "papists’ blood-worship abominations" is what Gerry means. It's a cheap, blasphemous shot at the Mass. This time, he is not alone. How the Satanic Black Mass Proves the Truth of Catholicism There have been a number of stories in the news...

Surviving GerhardEbersoehn So Called Heresies Sunday Sunday is the first day of the week. A single word cannot be a heresy. Sabbatarians did not exist in the 2nd century, although easy to prove in the 1st century. There is no historical record of there being any. None whatsoever.

Surviving GerhardEbersoehn So Called Heresies free will McCarthy (along with many other Calvinist anti-Catholics) is unwilling or unable to understand the relationship of human free will to God’s grace. We believe we can cooperate with God’s grace in order to “merit.” Yet that very merit is...

Surviving GerhardEbersoehn So Called Heresies By changing the biblical definition of an idolatrous image, you create a straw man fallacy. Roman scourging is so brutal that many died before making it to crucifixion. I don't see anywhere in Scripture where Jesus carries His cross boldly...

First of all, a single word by itself is not a heresy. According to Hilaire Belloc, "Heresy is the dislocation of some complete and self-supporting scheme by the introduction of a novel denial of some essential part therein...Heresy means, then, the warping of a system by 'Exception'..." [The...

fallacy of hasty generalisation committed right here!!

"the papists’ blood-worship abominations" is far more demeaning than me advising you to seek medical help for your hateful psychosis. I don't see Catholics posting whole threads mocking "Bible Students" (or whatever you call yourself) with fallacious arguments, do you? Maybe I should start one...

Have you told your doctor about this?

Nowhere does Scripture forbid Scripture in art form. It is a tradition of men. Question: Why do Catholics use crucifixes? Why do you keep Jesus on the cross when He is risen? Short answer: because we are saved by Jesus, and not by a cross. Long answer: The objection is often raised by...

1. Iconoclasm was central to the Reformation experience, not marginal, and not just a regrettable extravagance. 2.Analogies between the European Reformation and contemporary Islamism are much closer than many Protestants and Jehovah's Witnesses/Bible Students would like to admit. Like...

There is no justification for abolishing The New Testament Priesthood. No amount of linguistic gymnastics or word games can change the biblical/historical reality of ministerial priests. To rule out ministerial priests because there is a common priesthood is a false dichotomy to the extreme. The...

John 20:21-23 is not extra-biblical verification. You just can't come to terms with the plain words of Jesus. good bye, bbyrd

wadr I'm afraid you are in denial of the historical facts, and the appropriate meaning of the obelisk. Your anti-Catholic polemics is offensive. At first it was plain ignorance on your part, which is excusable. Now you have no excuse, yet persist with stupid drivel.
