No priest needed placemarker
Please provide an example of a sin you would not classify as a “major, major wrong”.
What is a sin which you would not need to confess to a Priest in order to feel better?
“Please provide an example of a sin you would not classify as a “major, major wrong”.”
Being rude to you.
Yet here is one i sent to you just a few day ago which is based upon Catholic teaching.
A challenge like facing a champion boxer in the ring wearing no gloves, wearing street clothes.
Really, then what did i not received any reply from you on that in my posts to you except things like "Blah blah blah Take it up with the theologians in the Church"? Or Ask Cardinal Dolan. He’ll be at the NYC Parade.
Which means you are unwilling to put the gloves on, which retreat admits defeat.
“And I don’t hold being rude to me as a sin against me”
There is no such thing as a sin AGAINST you...
Thanks for the chat.

I never said I didn’t want this to be an anti Catholic site.
Fine; you can argue with the many RCs who whine about it. But i rarely have never even seen you on the RF.
It’s an observation. Catholics don’t fade at criticism and anti Catholicism
They do indeed, as i can show you post after post in which RCs whine or cannot defend Roman traditions from the Scriptures, but must resort to manifest egregious extrapolation in seeking to support such.
For indeed, the weight of Scriptural substantiation is not the basis for the veracity of RC teaching (else they would be as evangelicals), and thus RCs are not to engage in searching them in order to ascertain the truthfulness of RC teaching.
Care to differ or defend that?
For the basic RC argument is that an assuredly (if conditionally) infallible magisterium is essential for determination and assurance of Truth (including writings and men being of God) and to fulfill promises of Divine presence, providence of Truth, and preservation of faith, and authority.
And that being the historical instruments and stewards of Divine revelation (oral and written) means that Rome is that assuredly infallible magisterium. Thus any who knowingly dissent from the latter must be in rebellion to God
Care to differ or defend that? Put the gloves on boaster.
Glory to God. Thanks

Uh....no they were not unanimous....unless catholicism has redefined the word. Which it probably has.
The Protestants’ complete loss of the spiritual sense of the Old Testament, and their incredibly shallow, proof-texty reading of the New Testament, is nowhere clearer than in their pert pronouncements about Mary.
This is what happens when you start reading things into the text that aren't there. No where do the NT writers even come close to hinting about Mary the things catholicism does.
Besides, your own apologists admit there is no scriptural proof for the immaculate conception. Salvation has those very links on her homepage. I've already shown this to be true unless they've been deleted.
If this concept of mary being a virgin forever was so important why didn't the rcc include the "protoevangelium of james" aka "gospel of james" in the canon? Because it was not accepted by all the churches. There have been lots of other writings on this topic as well. Yet, not one was considered for the canon.
We do not have consensus among the ECFs on this topic either.
There was no full consensus on this topic in the early church. Even by the 4th century there was still disagreement on the topic.
This, like other catholic doctrines on mary, has evolved over time. Get enough people saying it and it must be true in spite of what the Greek shows. It's what's going to happen with the prpopsed fifth marian dogma. When passed Mary will replace the Holy Spirit as Helper and Advocate and will be on par with Jesus as co-redemtrix. I'd like to know if you two support this. It's a simple yes or no answer.
Intersting that catholilcs double, even triple down on John 6 being literal, yet ignore clear statements in the Word about Jesus having brothers and sisters.
Amazing.
One RC even asserted that he was (despite such inferences otherwise as this ).
Another interesting posts from the past: Where Have All the FR Protestants Gone?
I come on her thread when I see an article that’s purely an anti-Catholic attack piece.
Do you complain to Catholics when they post anti-non-Catholic (anti-Prot) hit pieces?
 'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, ' it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.'
'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.' 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master - that's all.' |
Who’d listen?
But Mommy always will...
