Catholics do like adding words dont they. not paeticularily, but we also refrain from cutting out sections of the bible that we don't agree with...
To: Rides_A_Red_Horse
Do you place the Catholic Church above Jesus? Who says they are two different things?
What if Jesus appeared to you and said to repent from those practices and follow only Him; how would you respond?
I would say, "Get away from me, Satan."

Other Tradition(s) regarding teachings necessary for salvation are the Seven Sacraments, most of which the Catholic Church posits as normative for salvation.
Jesus said - “I am The Way, The Truth and The Light; no one comes to The Father except through Me.” He didn’t mention any “Traditions” or “Sacraments.”
How about the thief on the cross; did he get an express run through these “traditions?” Afterall, Jesus promised the thief he would join Him in Paradise.

17 And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.
When Jesus said this, the only “Church” was the Synagogue. Catholics claim they were “founded” by Jesus through Peter in or near 33AD.
Clearly Jesus did not specify the Catholic Church.

Nice, but can you put it on a cereal box? Retorts are so much more convincing when they are on a cereal box.

tc:”strange statement in that you have scripture thanks to Catholics saving it andd hand copying it and protecting it for over 2,000 years....they were the only ones there”
And the above statement is a shining example of why Catholics have zero credibility when discussing Scripture.
The RCC “ the only ones there”????????
For over TWO thousand years.......

Nope. Co-Redemptrix means "with". But why should we let that get in the way of some protestant screed. Thank you for that admission of what we have been saying about Catholicism and Mary, that she is a co-redeemer and Catholics trust her for salvation.
Way to spit in the face of Jesus and say His work on the cross wasn't adequate.

Why does the RCC, including the Pontiffs in my lifetime, not support Jews and minister directly to Jews instead of to the enemies of Judah and Israel?
Define support
Nothing special. Just the ordinary everyday usage of "support". Wasn't a trick question. And I think you gave me your honest reply. So, thanks. That satisfies me.
To: JPX2011
Christ on my terms is no way to go through life and is certainly no guarantee of the Beatific Vision. Christ on HIS terms is the way to go through life and is a guarantee of Heaven.

The people who wrote the Bible are dead now.
Not one of them is still alive on this earth to tell us what they meant when they wrote it.
Anyone else, no matter if they are allegedly in line from the apostles or not, have to interpret it because they could not have written it.
No one alive almost 2,000 years later can honestly and with integrity, make the claim of having written the Bible.

Of course none of that blather about Mary transforming anything has happened yet.
Not surprised......

What desperation when Catholics resort to appealing to the much maligned and hated Luther.

I read the Bible. What have you been reading? saat thanks Catholics, we provided that bible for you to read....I hope that you have the unabridged,Catholic, version of it...

Facts won’t work with the mind controlled.
They know what they believe and that’s that.

To: MamaB
True, we don’t believe that.
Nor do we believe a whole slew of things that we are misrepresented as believing.
But they’d have nothing to work with without their strawmen to knock down.

They know what they believe and thats that.
We all feel that way to some degree; that's the problem to solve: What is really true and what isn't.
Some posters rely on unprovable claims and prideful traditions of men; others believe the Gospel as they have heard it preached and accept it as a child might.
Looks like we will all co-exist until the Angels are sent to pluck out what looks true but isn't.
To: Elsie
You guys CONTINUALLY want to take ONE example and then try to apply it across the board! how many does it take for you to get the idea???
To: terycarl
I’m sure you were. Then ignore when He later said it was not the flesh that mattered.
