500 Years of Chaos: Protestantism’s Anniversary

Catholic Analysis ^ | 7 June 2014 | Philipp Rogall

[narses]

“And some of those SAME people are Roman Catholics!”

Sinners all. And yet the Church does NOT teach those things ‘bums, and you certainly ought to know that. So what is your point?

[WVKayaker]

Catholics do NOT worship Mary. This belief is one of the biggest misbeliefs that non-Catholics have.

Hahahahahahahaaaa.

Another laugh this morning. I guess all those SHRINES to Mary to which RC's BOW and PRAY are just a figment of the imagination.

Note that Christ is relegated to the side...

[Salvation]

One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic

[narses]

“But Catholics do not believe that.”

False.

[narses]

[Salvation]

**Having one denomination does not signify truth.**

Then why is it, pray tell, that the Catholic Church is the one church that has stood through the ages (since Jesus’ time 33 A.D.) to this day against:

abortion

euthanasia

contraception

same-sex marriage — homosexuality

embryonic stem cell research

in vitro fertilization

and on and on..................???

Why other lines of faith have crumbled on these issues??

[Dallas59]

2000 years.

[Salvation]

No, that is not true.

The Vatican is located across the river from the other hills of Rome. (Check it out)

[boatbums]

Nope, but you sound like you are!

[Salvation]

Hate to tell you this, but Christ founded his church on the apostles as the Bible tells us. They were ordained the first Bishops when he breathed on them.

[CynicalBear]

>>You are not alone in that, and if it is true then the protestant Churches are the daughters and also whores.<<

Yep!

[Salvation]

Sad that you do not believe the Bible.

Gospel Jn 20:19-23

On the evening of that first day of the week,
when the doors were locked, where the disciples were,
for fear of the Jews,
Jesus came and stood in their midst
and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.
The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,
“Receive the Holy Spirit.
Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,
and whose sins you retain are retained.”

[boatbums]

Read carefully. Since the Church is the Body of Christ, She represents Christ — therefore, apart from Her, there is no salvation.

Read carefully:

When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”

With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. (Acts 2:37-47)

One receives Jesus Christ and the gift of eternal life by the grace of God THROUGH faith and is added to the church, the body of Christ, His bride.

[what's up]

Like I said, the faithful are in all denominations. Millions of protestants are also fighting for morality and truth. God will judge on an individual basis. He does not absolve just because you are in a certain denomination.

[catfish1957]

Is there any reason you want to start crap between Protestants and Catholics at FR? Alreaqdy enough of that already troll!!!!

[Hegewisch Dupa]

amen

[what's up]

I’m not dividing the church.

Just because you belong to a denomination does not mean you are part of the church. There are sheep and then there are goats. and that is what jesus himself taught.

[Rashputin]

we will when Jesus returns, we won’t need fancy robes or languages or ceremonies then"

So, never quote the book of Revelation again as you obviously believe it's not inspired Scripture.

Or are you just admitting you cut and paste what you like and ignore the rest because you believe that while the Bible is full of errors, you're perfect?

[Salvation]

One Church according to Christ and the Bible!

John 14

6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.

Ephesians 1:22-23

22 and he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church,

23 which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all in all.

Colossians 1

24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church,

John 6

68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life;

[SoConPubbie]

So, you say that everyone born before then is burning in Hell right now?

Quit with the straw man argument.

The reason that Martin Luther came along was the corruption in the Catholic Church and the traditions that had replaced the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the doctrine of the justification by grace.

Protestantism filled the void that the leadership of the Catholic Church had created.

Were people saved and born again before they came along, sure, all the way back to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
