Perhaps the Holy Spirit is leading you to these threads so that you can learn about the pure and wonderful truths of Catholicism.
All the books you are including in your bible are Old Testament. You can argue all the Old Testament Books you want to, but WE are not under the LAW! I don’t really care who has it right Jews, Catholics, Protestant, East, West, or up and down if you live by the Law YOU will go to Hell end of discussion. We live by the Grace of our God through Jesus Christ and that teaching is in the New Testament.
Romans 8:3 New International Version (NIV)
3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh
The Jews don’t accept the deuterocanonical books, the early Christian fathers declared them inspiration but not on the same level as scripture, and the Protestants rejected them as extra writings. The only ones who ever accepted them was the Council of Trent 1500 years later.
Facts are a nasty thing.
A huge part of why I came home to the Catholic Faith from being a Bible Christian is that I investigated all these things and more and found them to be true.
Hear from both sides, not one side says about the other!
Books of the OT, thrown out by the Jews in 90A.D. (the Temple was destryoed in 70AD)..., well the Jewish religion had been cut from the vine before then(Romans 11) and Christianity grafted in. So Protestantism following that lead is dangerous, especially when either the apostles or Jesus(the NT) mentions and quotes these books in our NT.
This thread puts me in mind of the recent Protestant bashing thread that compared Protestants to violent radical Muslims. And the Protestant bashing thread of a few days ago deceptively named, “Scientific Proof of the Virgin Birth” (pushing their “immaculately conceived Mary” idolatry). Now here we are yet again, with another deceptively named thread, “Protecting God’s Word from ‘Bible Christians.’”
As the others, deceptively named for the express purpose of bashing Protestants. And as the others - absolute duds.
Just when you think you’ve heard it all. Amazing the extent Romanists go to trying to defend their paganized, totalitarian, and extraBiblical, form of Christianity, from those monstrous “Bible Christians.” Incredible, I tell you.
BTTT!
No, it’s the clear point that just because a pagan did something, even in relation to religious belief, doesn’t make it wrong.
Were pagans wrong in believing in an afterlife?
That is not true.
Deuteronomy 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. 31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God:
I can't remember which Freeper Catholic posted these questions and I apologize to him or her for not giving direct credit.
Do protestants exchange wedding rings? That is a pagan practice.
Do they have Bridesmaids, that is also pagan.
How about Groomsmen, also pagan.
Do you have flowers at the wedding, that is also pagan.
How about flowers at funerals, That is also pagan.
Care to discuss the pagan symbols on money?
We could also bring up the days of the weeks and months of the year.
Please keep talking.

That’s a stretch of a parced verse if I ever heard one. Pagans had temples before Solomon built one, and pagans had animal sacrifice, so were the Jews wrong?
I note you ever answered my question to you concerning treating all souls as living souls.
We are not to contact the departed or attempt to communicate with them. If you think otherwise show where the apostles taught it.
If you are going to string several letters together that aren’t recognized by the majority of Free Republic members posting in the Religion Forum, you should say what they mean.
Similar to translating a foreign language.
LOL, bfl, etc. are ok but not something like you did:
