Dutchboy88 uses God’s Word to prove his points. Scripture after Scripture is given to compare, study, and talk about. And you think cereal boxes are the RCC’s answer to studying God’s Word? The problem isn’t that you all are not given information. The problem is that you all do not seem interested in the information. It’s enough to suck down another wafer and call yourself “holy” I suppose. Cereal boxes may BE your only alternative.
No, the problem is that casting pearls before swine is bootless. Few, if any of the oddball rabid anti-Catholic crowd here has ever shown any integrity, they hide the denominational preferences they have and rarely expose their real nuttiness, but it does come out.
Like:
All of the Lent and Easter abomination is pagan and God clearly condemned it in scripture.
God doesnt smile down on people who celebrate Easter.
When you can at least embrace the basic tenents of the faith, then maybe there is room to have serious debate, until then laughter and scorn are about what the random heretics get from me.
Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem;
Creatorem caeli et terrae.
Et in Jesum Christum,
Filium eius unicum, Dominum nostrum;
qui conceptus est
de Spiritu Sancto,
natus ex Maria virgine;
passus sub Pontio Pilato,
crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus;
descendit ad inferos;
tertia die resurrexit a mortuis;
ascendit ad caelos;
sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis;
inde venturus est
iudicare vivos et mortuos.
Credo in Spiritum Sanctum;
sanctam ecclesiam catholicam;
sanctorum communionem;
remissionem peccatorum;
carnis resurrectionem;
vitam aeternam. Amen.
In English:
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived
by the power of the Holy Spirit,
and born of the Virgin Mary,
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
he will come again
to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen
3 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me. 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lords death until he comes.The meaning is plain to anyone who can read.27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.
Since you're not mentioned in the Bible, I'm not interested in your fallible distortion, but rather, the infallible teaching of "the pillar and foundation of truth."

“Dutchboy88 uses Gods Word to prove his points.”
Nope. What he does is posts verses, that don’t prove his point, but which he insist do prove his point.
“Scripture after Scripture is given to compare, study, and talk about.”
None of which ever prove Dutchboy’s claims against the Catholic Church.
“And you think cereal boxes are the RCCs answer to studying Gods Word?”
No, I think cereal boxes are a clever way of pointing out that Dutchboy serves up sugar coated Protestant heresies and stupid attacks rather than real nurishment.
“The problem isnt that you all are not given information.”
That is, in fact, one of the problems. We also get outright falsehoods from Dutchboy. Here’s an example: Hilda wrote: “Purgatory not only appeals to common sense and what we understand about God, but is in Scripture at 1 Corinthians 3:15 (that pesky Paul again). Also Jesus Parable starting at Matthew 18:22.” So, Hilda mentioned TWO verse - and I see no reason to believe she only believes those two speak of Purgatory. Yet, how did Dutchboy respond: “You are basing the entire doctrine of purgatory on one verse about the work of a man being tested by fire?” So, not only did Dutchboy misrepresent what Hilda actually posted - she posted TWO verses - but he claims to read her mind and know that she bases the “...entire doctrine of purgatory on one verse...”
When dealing with that sort of man you might as well post cereal boxes.
“The problem is that you all do not seem interested in the information.”
Did it ever occur to you that we have had the same misinterpreted verses thrown at us here for years and years already? After a while you realize you’re dealing with Protestant anti-Catholic bigots who not only don’t know what they’re talking about (just a matter of days ago I had to correct such a bigot about a Catholic doctrine he clearly DID NOT UNDERSTAND), but you’re dealing with someone who is too dim to understand that his attacks have already been refuted hundreds of times.
“Its enough to suck down another wafer and call yourself holy I suppose. Cereal boxes may BE your only alternative.”
Wow. You’re so offended by a cereal box that you attack the Eucharist. . . and then you wonder why we don’t listen to your old, tired attacks on the Christian faith?
Are you a member of UCG also?
Its enough to suck down another wafer and call yourself holy I suppose.Your words are HIGHLY offensive to me; I pray to the Lord that He may forgive you.
