WHY ARE OUR CATHOLIC LAITY SO ILLITERATE WHEN IT COMES TO THE CATHOLIC FAITH

I feel left out.

Absolutely. We also teach that the Apostles were granted this authority by Christ.

[JCBreckenridge]

“If it has to do with Christianity, it can be found in the scriptures by comparing scripture with scripture...”

That’s not what scripture actually says.

Matthew 18:15-7

“If your brother or sister[b] sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ “If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church;” and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.”

The Church decides and sorts out the issue if the issue cannot be resolved between the brothers. Christ affirms that the end authority is in fact the Church.

Oh, the same De ecclesia with which Vatican II agrees? That was heresy and lies?

What were these six errors in De sex erroribus, that Hus posted on the door of Bethlehem Chapel, and are they errors still? That was heresy and lies?

And Sola Scriptura preceded Martin Luther by a hundred years, in the fourteenth century?

Seriously?

[metmom]

Sure it is. Hahn and Staples left after careful study of the Bible and for sound doctrinal reasons. your guys left to get a little humana, humana, wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Same as Martin Luther, Bart Brewer, etc....

"your guys". Which guys is that?

Documentation please. From a real source.

An average Catholic goes through the whole bible in Mass in three years. No Protestant church I ever went to did that.

Baloney. I've sat through masses for years and they do NOT go through the whole Bible.

That's been discussed and documented in the past. I don't recall who did it, but pinging some others who may have.

[metmom]

If you read the Creation account literally, as many do, you have to conclude that the time between Creation and the Incarnation is about 4000 years.

No you don't.

Tell me how much time passed between verse one and verse two.

Even with a literal reading of the English, there's no way of telling without assuming.

[metmom]

Began by the COE at the Lambeth conference in 1929 and EVERY single protestant faith followed suit shortly there after.

Documentation please. From a real source.

How many Protestant churches support Gay marriages?

None that I've ever been in.

" She was protected from original sin at that time."

No she was not. You have elevated her to a god status. She was/is a human being just like you and me. She sinned. She needed a Savior. Just because she was picked out for a special duty (like Moses or John the Baptist or others) does not give her any quality to be worshiped. You use words to confuse your actions but Catholics worship Mary. You have convinced yourselves you do not but in reality you do. By substituting another word for worship does not deny the reality of the situation.

[metmom]

I am part of the body of Christ through faith in Him. I AM the church, I don’t *belong* to one.

I don’t belong to a church because it doesn’t make any difference. It’s irrelevant where I worship as long as the local assembly preaches the gospel.

[metmom]

I’m a Christian, a follower of Christ. My identity is in Him, not a denomination. Denominations are just labels. They don’t define who I am in Christ.

Hus was killed for preaching heresy and refusing to recant his lies.

You have guts enough to tell us what that heresy was???

[BipolarBob]

"That is claiming a Power that belongs not to any manmade institution but to God alone." "Would culling your posts expose an opposition to capital punishment? "
If you cannot differentiate the difference between a criminal crime and spiritual teachings then you are not as smart as you think you are.

"It was brutality and don't quote any Catholic writings saying he was well cared for." "Those are Galileo's writings that I quoted and he felt his treatment was so brutal that he wrote to others about how well he was treated."
Every thing he wrote was carefully examined before leaving his house prison. His writings were under duress. The Power to burn people at the stake is a heavy incentive to not displease ruling regime.

[RPTMS]

You are confused. It wasn’t by her own power that she was preserved from original sin. (You know what we mean by “original sin”, right?). Are you saying God doesn’t have the power to preserve anyone from original sin? She receives honor higher than the other saints, but lower than the Trinity, as well she should.

[JCBreckenridge]

Ok, I presume you participate in congregational worship on sundays. Is it a house church that you attend?

[JCBreckenridge]

“By substituting another word for worship does not deny the reality of the situation.”

Do you believe that when you are commanded to honor your mother and father, you are commanded to worship your mother and father?

[BipolarBob]

"Are you saying God doesn’t have the power to preserve anyone from original sin?"
God is sovereign and He changes not. Since original sin, we were born in sin. There is nothing in the Scripture to suggest she was without sin. It would have been plainly said and taught if that were so. She deserves no more or no less than anyone saved by the Grace of God.

[BipolarBob]

NO, I do not. I honor them (and their name) by being honorable.
