lol, spin.
True, no direct scriptural support. There is no support for the superstition of the Sola Scriptura either. But my Church is authorized to "bind and loose" on the matters of salvation. Yours?
I think you need an "outer body experience" and take a look at your posts. I think you'd be amazed at the abusive and condescending tones you are writing in. Just arrogant purple and huge font words.
But then again, maybe you could care less - and the "spirit" is behind that, too.
It is sad when a religious forum has such garbage on it. No wonder non-Christians say we need to police our own...
There is far more support for Scripture as the sole rule of faith than the Romanist nonsense of binding and loosening faith.
Yours?
Actually, yes. It is Christ who binds and loosens.
Now you've ruined their whole day
Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Dr. E?
You have Freepmail, Quix :P
I don't foresee that happening any time soon. It's been a long history of doublespeak...
Well, let's do like the Bereans and read Matthew 16:19. Who, Christ said, is to bind and loose?
Christ will infallibly lead all God's children home.
Having a difficult time figuring out metaphorical language, I see. Which Jew left Jesus when, according to you, Jesus claimed to be a metal gate??? Which Jew left Jesus because He had lost it and called Himself a plant??? Yet there was a stampede when He said one must eat His flesh?
So when Jesus said "you must eat my flesh" why didn't everyone just say "oh, it's another metaphor"?
You know why? Eating one's flesh is a metaphor for being persecuted...
"Unless one persecutes me, he will not have eternal life". Is THAT what the "reformers" teach?
YOU guys crack me up because you only read parts of the Bible and twist them to your own preconceived ideas and beliefs.

"....you believe Mary to be divine".
How many times is this untruth about Catholic beliefs going to show up on this forum?
The Catholic Church church does not teach that Mary is "divine".
Tell me why you say this when it isn't true.
And He delegated that authority to Peter, didn't He - and then later, the other 11 Apostles. Didn't you read Matthew's Gospel?
LOL. It'll only hurt for a moment. Then the healing can begin.
Does that mean that EVERY SINGLE JEW who was ever circumcised will be saved???
Regards
Have bound and loosed often
with GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT confirming with signs following.
You were saying about your edifice?
If as you claim, she was born without sin, and the only other person, born without sin was Christ, then they are either both divine, or, neither of them is. Which is it?
You build most of your temples to her. I have been inside them. Inside are bigger than life statues of her, with votive offerings.If an archaeologist were to find these, some time hence, he will conclude that you were a nation of goddess worshippers, as that is where all the evidence points.
Why don't Catholics just come out and admit it? After all your two last Popes make no secret of how they feel about it.
Unlike you guys who insist on a fundamental reading until you need a liberal reading. I wish you'd make up your minds. You're just SO diffferent from us!
In a huge leap of faith, we look at Jesus and see that he is not a door, and conclude that he is speaking metaphorically. Protestants fall back in AWE at our daring to assert that there are no knobs on the Lord. When they recover they begin to insult and fire up the random Scriputre generator again. However when it is possible, not inconceivable, that what He said could be taken literally, we take it literally and, well look at that, the Protestant mock us again and generate some more Scriptures and mockery
At least they're consistent. If it's good, pious, and reasonable, they mock it -- except for when they are busy misrepresenting it. They accuse us of believing in magic, but they use verses of Scripture like incantations. Having no arguments, they resort to mind numbing repetitions like a three year old wearing down a frazzled parent.
Newsflash: we get that your religion is so bankrupt that if you couldn't mock Catholics you wouldn't have any way to occupy your lonely hours. (Actually I don't really think that. I was just caught up in the atmosphere of technicolor mockery, abuse, condescension, and belittlement. We get that you disagree with us about this and that. We are willing to entertain your arguments, if you'd make them. We are not going to think them any more powerful for being repeated, we are not going to admire you for your endurance if you cite or quote the same verse over and over again. Perseveration is not a sign of health.
THINK about what you are doing! A thread is put up about a movie, and you all are driven not just to criticize the RC point of view but to mock it offensively and to call us liars. And then you wonder why we don't find you persuasive or even very attractive.
Oh? What's that? You're doing it for our own good? This is curative? How TOO kind of you. Thank you WAY too much, I'm sure.
Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed." -- Romans 9:6-8"Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
I'll be eager to read your argument if you ever have one. Haven't seen one yet.
Again pops up the truth of the fruit by which we are known.
