Where Have All the Protestants Gone?

You cannot deny that when Israel walk righteously with the Lord we blessed them and when they did not he not only withdrew His favor but punished them.

And Job's friends were sure he had committed some horrible sin since he was afflicted so.

When overwhelmed with sane reasoning, always get obnoxious and pointless.

Any reason you're being an obnoxious wise ass?

What's it like to live in an echo chamber?

Try not to be liars.

What a child you are. You've said this probably 20 times already this weekend. Keep saying it until you're blue in the face. It'll keep you safe in that little bubble you live in but it won't make it anymore true.

Just mindless cut-n-pastes from other cut-n-pasters.

Wow you're arrogant....and blind.

Has the CC become politically correct? They used to say that there is no salvation outside the CC, didn't they?

To give it to you in a nutshell (because a long, dense discussion is beyond my scope of knowledge or time), the Church states that those who have no knowledge of Christ or His Church yet live a life according to God's Natural Law can possibly be saved. It's a doctrine called "Invincible Ignorance."

What it does *NOT* say is that all religions are equal or that all non-Catholics are saved.

[SoothingDave]

Wow. You really impelled him on his own pickard.

What it does *NOT* say is that all religions are equal or that all non-Catholics are saved.

Or all professed Catholics, for that matter.

Secondly, in able to converse with some knowledge on the subject, I have been studying Catholic teachings for at least 20 years now.

Then why are you still so ignorant about us? take it from me, I've been a Catholic for 28 years and have actually seen how other Catholics have acted, and your descriptions do not seem to match my reality.

BTW, the official teaching of the Church is quite clear on Scripture: it is the word of God, true every word Then why does the RCC teach evolution if the Bible is true?

The Church does not "teach" evolution. The Church is not a scientific research institute. The Church has said that evolution is not incompatible with the faith, for a variety of reasons, one of which is that the Christian faith's priority is not to promulgate creation theories.

Why is it so hard for you people to read and understand simple English? *Do* you guys need books with pictures?

[Conservative til I die]

"Faith alone" is what is anathema'
Really? Then why did Jesus die if you can do it yourself?

Do you even need other people to debate with? You just jump off on your own tangents --of course only strawmen that you already have an answer for.

Ever think there are more choices than the two you've presented here?

[Conservative til I die]

just curious. do you have a job?

Guess you didn't learn from your banning the last time. You're allegedly a Jew now, so what do you care what us Christians have to say in this debate?

PS -Can't wait to see which religion you skip to next. Jainism maybe?

You cannot deny that when Israel walk righteously with the Lord we blessed them and when they did not he not only withdrew His favor but punished them.

1) Israel 4000 BC is not America 2006 AD.

2) How do you know that America's prosperity is due to God's blessing?

3) Japan is a prosperous country. It's also 0.7% Christian. Is God blessing Japan? China's economy is turning into quite the juggernaut. It's also an oppressive fascist state. Is God blessing fascism? Much of the world's oil sits underneath terroristic Arab Muslim states. Is God blessing these Muslim states?

4) Who says we're walking righteously with the Lord? We embrace things that would cause the ancient Isrealites' eyeballs to fall out of their heads, even the un-righteous ones.

[AlaninSA]

Mo, you have been proven false along with your church and your Pope.

It appears that the only thing proven (repeatedly) is that you (a)lack information on the Catholic Church beyond the typical Chick-like lies, (b)your only agenda is one of obnoxious and bigoted hatred and (c)Cronos has done an outstanding job of showing you for what little you are.

[Conservative til I die]

Be careful when you call a spade a spade. Protestants and some Catholics will accuse you of being insulting.

[Flavius Josephus]

Vatican II changed all that. But we still claim the "Fullness of the Faith."

[Invincibly Ignorant]

Maybe they should change this to the Christian forum instead of the Religious forum. Would that make ya happy?

Just curious as to why someone who follows Judaism cares what happens on a Christian thread. It's akin to me caring about what happens in a intra-Hindu debate.

Our Scriptures comprise 2/3's of your Bible, The title of this thread was too good to resist and I'm a former Catholic and Protestant. Too bad I'm out of popcorn.

[Invincibly Ignorant]

Not to mention I love watching you present yourself as one who's obviously gone to finishing school on a pirate ship. That's half the fun.

[Full Court]

So tell me Dave, how is someone saved?

[Full Court]

I totally agree that Mary and Joseph knew each other in the Biblical sense. They had sex.

The Church is not in the business of advancing scientific theory, it's in the business of salvation.

The Roman Catholic church advances, supports and teaches evolution, which is at odss with God's Holy Word.
