I think he means obscure verses like you can handle serpents and they won't harm you......oh wait, that's a protty denomination.
“so far, the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption, I’ll try to come up with some more....oh yeah, the infallibility of the Pope....these declarations don’t happen often, but they are NEVER wrong. “
Proof please, otherwise it is bluster and opinion.
while that is probably true, salvation is a gift, the opposite is true also, being bad will keep you out of Heaven. We are perfectly free to ignore Christ and refuse His gift of salvation and far too many people who are ignoring the original and true church are putting themselves in jeopardy.
the Catholics wrote the Bible and did not include any errors...God said so.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
“common sense would tell me I do not want to be involved in anything that requires so much and yet gives no assurance that I can even be saved in the end.”
That’s not common sense. That’s presumption. The Church teaches assurance, but not the presumptuous kind: http://www.catholic.com/tracts/assurance-of-salvation
“Jesus said it was finished and I believe Him.”
I do too. I just don’t believe phony Protestant doctrines invented by Luther while he sat in the cloaca.
“I also think Catholics need a big ole dose of HUMOR! So maybe you guys can work on that.”
Protestant anti-Catholics need a “big ole dose” of REALITY - which they’ll get on the Day of Judgment if not sooner.
“Perhaps then, and only then, I will consider not kicking you to the curb. lol”
You couldn’t kick me anywhere.
you are very easily entertained.....
“Hey! Wait a minute. I thought Jesus said we had to eat His literal flesh and blood to be saved. Which is it now?”
Your disagreement is with Jesus.
lets see here, you read the Bible four times a year and come up with erroneous interpretations....isn't there a description of insanity that closely parallels that????doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results???You search the Bible which Catholics wrote expecting to come up with Catholic errors...good luck with that, why would they have put errors in a book that they wrote (new testament)??
it's the only one there is, the rest are Protestant denominations.

Erroneous interpretations are the purvey of catholics, primarily. They have a need to twist scripture til it bleeds to fit their satanic theology.

No, catholics disagreement is with Yeshua Messiah. He said plainly that “the flesh profiteth not, it is spirit.”
of course not, but "easy" is not the same to everyone.....Mother Theresa found serving the poor easy, I would find devoting my life to doing so very difficult....you would too, I assume.
she didn't, she was assumed into Heaven, taken there by the power of God, not ascended on her own power.....see the difference???
Truly laughable.
The average professional football player hears more scripture in one pre-game huddle than any catholic does in a year!
>> “This would seem to fly directly in the face of the one-hour fast before taking Communion.” <<

Scripture???? (not holding my breath)
