Absolutely not. What Jesus and the Apostles said needs nothing new. God’s word is forever and adding anything new to it like the Catholics did is anathema. >>Tell me, CB, how do you respond to those who claim that ALL of Christianity, that’s right all the beliefs held in common by Christians are purloined, warmed over, pagan beliefs about pagan gods?<<
I feel sorry for them as I do the Catholics who have added pagan practices that God called abominations. I don’t respond to those who have no belief in Jesus but I do with Catholics because they have strayed from the simple gospel of Jesus. Just as John recorded in Revelation to the churches the admonition that they have “left their first love” I admonish Catholics to leave the CC who has added the “doctrines of men”.
Feel sorry?
Not buying it, more like feeling superior and like patting one’s own back.
Over and over the protestants here are disputed with Scripture and writings of first, second and third generation Christians and still we have to see this garbage.
Again you cop out. AGAIN.
What say you when ALL of Christianity is accused of pagan roots? ALL of it, the Virgin Birth, the Death, the Resurrection. ALL of it linked to these similar tales from pagan religions.
Oh, that’s right, nothing. Because is doesn’t fit into the broken record that is the general responses to anything Catholic. Pope? Pagan Sacraments? Pagan Apostolic Succession? Whatever. Not in Scripture
And Catholics are accused of not thinking or having been brainwashed.
The sanctimony and self righteousness all while bashing and bleating about the Church.
By something new, I mean do any of the protestants here ever respond to anything directly? No, it is always the same thing.
Sorry, CB. Just had my fill.
