Worse than a hiccup! Some virus kept displaying an error code which was from a funny source not part of FR.

Daniel1212, sadly the Catholic apologists will not hear your sound teaching ... there are none so blind as those who will not see.

[MHGinTN]

Did you ever believe you were saved by Faith along in Christ alone? Dodge and weave, weave and dodge, parsing as you go, merrily merrily merrily merrily null is all you’ll know.

“ This is a piece of paper found in Egypt dating to AD 250.”

So at least +150 years after the death of every Apostle, hideous error consumed the church.

Yep, you demonstrated apostasy is irrefutable.

He no one has ever proved a single Apostle ever prayed a single prayer to Mary or any departed saint.

Not one.

Nor that a single Apostle ever taught a single time that a single Christian should pray to Mary or any departed saint.

Not once.

Nor that a single believer in Christ ever prayed to Mary before 100 AD.

Not one.

Totally bogus.

30 The man (whom Jesus healed, who was born blind answered, “Why, this is an amazing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. 32 Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” 34 They answered him, “You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?” And they cast him out. [John 9]

All you have accomplished is to show heresies inveigled the body of believers early on. BTW, Theotokos is translated god bearer, not mother of god. Mary is not the progenitor of God or even of Jesus, for He is the Word made flesh, the same Word Who was in the beginning with God and was God.

....find Jesus.

Glad to see we are at one on this momentous issue. I've also heard this phrase applied to the impossible ("Pelagian"?) task of self-salvation:

"Cotton-picking your way out of slavery."

[Mrs. Don-o]

In the spring of 146 BC The Roman Republic finished the Third Punic War with the sack and complete destruction of the city of Carthage. Every one of its inhabitants was either killed or sold into slavery. The may have been history's first intentional genocide.

The land was later re-inhabited by Roman and other Italian colonists. By the time of St. Augustine, the Synod of Carthage and so forth, five centuries later, the Italians had intermarried with local country people (Berbers, not Carthaginians) and it was a thoroughly Latinized area.

I don't know, but I'm gonna guess that most of Northern Africa is still, racially, a mix of Berber, Arab, and Italian.

I have found Jesus. He is my Lord and savior. I have no need of amazonian or Roman catholic idols.

“ I truly think some of these gents aren’t even Christian, let alone Catholic.”

.....

Always great to see a Catholic acknowledge there is a difference between Catholicism and Christianity!

[Mark17]

Glad to see we are at one on this momentous issue.

We agree, that one can not lead a good enough life, to please God, and earn Heaven. I believe in salvation by faith alone, in Christ alone, and nothing else. On that issue, I am sure we will never agree. So be it. 😁😆

And the NT was written in Greek long before it was translated to Latin.

Rome persecuted Christianity and Saints for centuries before they mixed it with paganism and adopted it into it’s current Babylonian form.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Interesting. I think most people would see Christianity and Catholicism as set and subset, with Christianity being the larger, like so:

Christianity>Catholicism

I wonder if it might not be t'other way around:

Catholicism >Christianity

That doesn't quite satisfy me, either. I think maybe the first one is right, except that Christianity could be represented as the larger target, comprising concentric circles, and Catholicism being the smaller center, the bulls-eye, and with the whole thing pervaded by Christ Himself.

Maybe not the perfect schematic drawing, but that's the best I can do at the moment. Early to bed, I think I've got a cold.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Or we may, depending on the completeness of our definition of faith.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Early to bed, I think I've got a cold.

I wish you a quick recovery.

[Elsie]

... the nude statues...

Now if the guys running the church would have just put on the sign outside:

Come see our naked ladies

I'd bet the pews would be overflowing.

[Elsie]

DAMNED neo-Lutherans!!

Over time the disregard of law by those in charge eventually brings about disregard of law by those subject to it.

Yup.

Call no man father comes to mind.
