Attacking where there is no reason to attack.
Another anti-Catholic attack.
The attacker in question is just giving opinions that is all.
"We" admit no such thing!
Christ Himself taught us to worship. At the Last Supper and through His Passion, He performed the first Mass. How important is it? St Paul (who wasn't present at the Last Supper) handed on what was given him directly by Christ which was the sacrifice of the Mass (1 Cor 11:23-26).
After His Resurrection and before His Ascension, Jesus spent 40 days instructing His Apostles through the Holy Spirit on the Kingdom of God (Acts 1:1-3). Where is the Kingdom of God in this world but in the Church? That's a lot of instruction that too many take for granted as being nothing special because it wasn't written down and shared in a Scriptural format.
Which is based on attacking how certain Christian communities worship.
That is NOT Christian.
Thank-you for your help .
The consensus of scholarship says that we have at least two genuine apologies from Justin. Your view is not of that consensus.
The absolute consensus of all scholarship is that we have something from about 450 AD that we attribute to Justin Martyr.
Beyond that, we have no way of knowing if the original manuscripts have been changed. Scholarship cannot tell us that until we find a much earlier manuscript, assuming one still exists.
Beyond that, and more importantly, we know that Apostles never recognized Christian priests, nor a mass.
I do not. I judge the Scriptures as inspired and authoritative words of God.
Yet it is NOT Christian either to attack a good priest’s article which is BTW full of reference to scriptures.
Being a Christian does not mean being doormat.
I did not say you do not. I told you to do so.
You are a very judgmental person, especially when you are lacking facts.
Freudian projection. Provide actual facts, instead of assertions and judgements. We will examine them to see if they are true.
I'm leaving comments on an open thread. You are categorizing it as an attack. That is on you bro.
Liberal response sadly - instead of providing discussion with facts, evidence and logic. I get it.
Ha ha ha!! Here, you've been given references to actual Scripture scholarship but you won't even acknowledge it. You admit you didn't read it because "Scripture is the only authority." Yet, the author is using Scripture to explain for you... and you don't read it because you only read Scripture. On what basis should anyone explain anything at all to you? You've made up your own mind and will accept no other input.
God’s word which is also given to the Christian faith and to the belivers.
Thanks for these, Salvation!
It’s really helpful to have solid Catholic teaching in one easy spot. I really appreciate your efforts!
No. It was recommended I read a book.
Yet, the author is using Scripture to explain for you...
I know the Scriptures. They do not teach what Ol' Arch-Pope claims. Many people use the Scriptures to explain heresy.
On what basis should anyone explain anything at all to you?
Use the Scriptures.
Then please use God's Word to support your claims. If not, you are making just an assertion.
Where there is heresy and false teaching, believers are commanded to correct it, pointing out errors. It is by its nature, an unpleasant task, but we are commanded to do it.
Being a Christian does not mean being doormat.
Hey, we agree!
