protestants have never been able to explain ANYTHING to Catholics....not even why they are/became protestants!!

we are all Christians for the same reason, the question asked why are you a protestant???

I'm not a protestant.

I am a Christian.

How you refer to me after that is immaterial.

Still waiting on your answer regarding the immaculate conception....though I know you won't answer.

Been fun chatting.

Done with this conversation.

Sorry, I forgot to include you on post 1591.

This explains the infallibility of the Catholic Church on matters of Faith. We have faith in Christ's church that it will only present the Truth (and God will prevent false teachings of God's message.)

This was written by a former atheist.

And so a Catholic can know divine revelation, as distinct from human opinion, by looking to the Church, which speaks with Christ’s voice and cannot lie. For a Protestant, only the Bible itself contains God’s infallibly inspired words, so he desires to assent to that. But since the Bible must be interpreted by someone, the closest he can come to assenting to biblical teaching is assenting to his own fallible interpretation of it. And assenting to yourself is no assent at all.

Your focus seems to be on what you believe and do not understand RC point of view and their faith. You make judgments based on your opinion.

I wish you well and God's peace, but you could consider the Catholic Church if you are seeking the Truth.
