***At least one of us is wrong.***
Yes, well. I guess we’ll just have to wait to talk to Jesus personally to find out which of us it is.
I have read the Scriptures cover to cover (several times), I know Presbyterian theology quite well (having been brought up in a staunch Presbyterian family), I have read the Early Fathers of the Church, I have studied history, and I came to the conclusion that Protestant theology is un-Scriptural, non-historical, goes against Jesus’ wish that we “all be one” (John 17), and is just totally illogical, as its arguments don’t hold up from Scripture. I believe that the Catholic Church is the true Church, founded by Jesus Christ on St. Peter (the Rock), and that it teaches the Christian Faith in its entirety. I could be wrong, but I don’t think so.
***There are, in fact, a lot of Protestants who are Spiritually blind. Scott Hahn was one of them.***
Have you ever read any of his books? Don’t make an opinion statement unless you can back it up with facts! If you want to say that you’ve read his books and disagree with his arguments that’s one thing, but to just put forth an opinion based on nothing, is just silly.
You assume that both of us will be granted that opportunity.

I think so.
Have you ever read any of [Scott Hahn's] books?
If I step in something squishy in cow pasture, I don't need to taste it to know that it isn't something I'd want to put in my mouth. I have better things to do than read Scott Hahn... Like clean this squishy stuff off my boots.
But if the RCC can get something this basic so wrong, why should we expect correct doctrine elsewhere in that institution?
And even more specifically, Christ is the rock...
And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them: and that rock was Christ." -- 1 Corinthians 10:1-4"Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
When David says...
"From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I." -- Psalm 61:2
...he's not speaking of Peter, but of Christ alone.
When and if the RCC divides the word of God correctly, then and only then will it give some evidence of God's blessing.
