**Protestants sometimes object to the sacraments by asking.....**

Protestant do not realize that all the Sacraments have Biblical roots.

Awesome! Thanks for posting.

Respectfully asked...based on your post on here and thru the link you provided, please present the scriptures that support all the Sacraments based on this definition provided in the link you posted:

There are three basic elements that constitute a sacrament. First, it is an external, sensibly perceptible sign of sanctifying grace. There is something which is external, something which is sensible. You can either see it or hear it or taste it or touch it, whatever the case might be. Second, it is a sign which causes grace. In other words, they not only signify grace, but they actually cause or confer grace in the soul of the recipient. When you receive a sacrament, you receive an increase of sanctifying grace plus the actual grace that comes with the sacrament. Third, they are instituted by Christ. This is very important because it means that God wills to communicate Himself to us in and through definite outward signs. This means, obviously, that the Church did not invent the seven sacraments but received them from Her divine founder. We see, then, that the sacraments continue the work of Christ. The Church is the Mystical Christ. You can look at all the things that Jesus did: He fed people, He healed people, He forgave people, and so on. That is what the sacraments do; they continue the work of Christ through His Mystical Body, the Church.

Neither of you two ever answer my questions, why I don't know? I try to ask in a respectful manner but yet I here silence...please answer this time...

In Christ.
