What doesn't exist is a Biblical codex before 1400 A.D. which contains only 66 books. Go ahead and look. Any Bible in the world will do.

I would add that the gift of pastorship is not the same as the office of pastor. Problems arise when those with the gift think they can over-ride the office.

That is not what Philip James said. He said, "...scripture came forth from the Church..." The Church did not make scripture inspired, she canonized what was always inspired from the moment they were written. Canonization means the inspired scriptures were proven to be inspired, and made binding...

Ave Maria by Celine Dion Lyrics Ave Maria, maiden mild Oh, listen to a maiden's prayer For thou canst hear amid the wild 'Tis thou, 'tis thou canst save amid, despair We slumber safely till the morrow Though we've by man outcast reviled Oh maiden, see a maiden's sorrow Oh mother, hear a...

Your reputation of blindness proceeds you. The Word of God in stone inside the ark foreshadows the Word Made Flesh that you call sinister. The manna from heaven that sustained the Jews inside the ark foreshadowed the Bread of Life that you call sinister. The rod of Aaron inside the ark...

However, the part specifically about giving birth to the child (who is Christ) must be about Mary, I contend, if it is about Christ, because Jesus was not a product of the Church, since He preceded it and initiated it. Therefore, that part is specifically talking about Mary. The Bible never uses...

DEBATE ON REVELATION 12 Greg Still describes himself as a “”skeptical Pentecostal” and is a former Catholic. More of a discussion with Dave Armstrong than a debate. GS in black, DA in blue. Since you brought up the supposed “Assumption of Mary” let us deal with that. You suggest that because a...

Junk history that cannot be verified by any scholarly source. Rants by 18th century false philosophers is not scholarly. Everyone on this site needs to realize what a pile a crap this is. Phony history makes me sick. Modern PROTESTANT historians and Bible colleges no longer teach this...

The Bible as we know it did not exist for 350 years. Therefore Paul's "standard" could only have been the Old Testament. The Bereans were Greek Pharisees under Paul's instructions, who was also a Pharisee. First they listened to Paul's inspired oral teaching, THEN they checked it with...

This is more junk history that is rejected by recent Protestant historians. It's the same false rhetoric that Luther and Calvin invented to justify their break from Rome. Here's a challenge, Harvest. Find a reputable historian with a legitimate Ph.D. in history that supports your Catholic...

Is this supposed to be a rebuttal to the Protestant Inquisition, or a rabbit trail? Do you think that defenseless Huguenots were running from blood thirsty Catholics and they landed in America??? It would be a good idea to study the matter. Read any historian of your choice who has written in...

Is that a rebuttal or refutation of post #322, or an evasion? You've never seen that kind of stuff before, have you.

"...was based on the persecutions of their day." A new church was needed because the CC was persecuting people is simply wrong. Let's level the playing field, shall we? The following well documented treatise is referenced from mostly Protestant and secular historians. "reformers old...

But who has the authority to determine which doctrine is incorrect? Any "indwelt" with a Bible?

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...

How Can Catholicism Be True When Catholics Are So Dead? G.K. Chesterton once said that the best argument against Christianity is Christians. That is certainly true of Catholicism. Pope John Paul II, putting it politely, says, "The Catholic Church does not forget that many among her members...

I reread my post. It doesn't sound hostile to me. I don't feel hostile toward the CC. Far from it. Yes, priests should be obligated to teach on what has just been read. Tie in the O.T., the epistle and the gospel reading. This would be nice since there are persons that go to Mass who will...

Anybody care to do some scholarly research on what these heretics actually believed and practiced? No Protestant in their right mind would want them as their spiritual forefathers....if they knew. Vaudois, Waldenses, Passagini, Albigensi, Paulicians, Insabbati, Sabbatini Sabbatini is a...

Vetus Latina was never a Bible. They were a pile of manuscripts written in OLD LATIN used along side Latin and Jerome didn't corrupt anything, he cleaned up a mess. The Duay Riems Bible predates the KJV by 11 years. A 66 book canon did not exist before the 14th century. Your A.T. Jones writes...

Nowhere did I say "calls the Pope master". Catholics see the Pope as a fellow human being, who confesses his sins like Catholics are supposed to. One title you don't see is "Servant of the Servants of the People of God". Another: "First Among Equals" The Pope is a regular bishop for the...
