Why don’t you learn what Catholic doctrine is on baptism and other theological matters from true Catholic sources before you spew out weak attempts of intellectualism by spewing out opinions of anti-Catholics on what we believe. Catholicism is the equivalent of upper level college while Protestantism is equivalent of grade school. Get curious, learn what truth it not some hodgepodge of blathering originating literally from a lunatic who had no real touch on reality.

You obviously did not learn about Catholic doctrine if you are unaware that baptism cleanses us from original sin and confirmation is our born again moment...both are intertwined perfectly to bring people to God as God created the sacraments to be. Heck, Protestants don’t actually believe in an active heaven where spirits interact with earthly spirits...it’s lunacy. Come home to the true faith daniel1212. Get well...

Rather, why do you not read more of what I wrote rather than spewing out weak attempts of intellectualism by spewing out ignorant opinions about what I wrote? As with your lying charge about the absence of an infallible canon until after Luther’s death and his inclusion of apocryphal books in his translation of the Bible, you are have a tendency to engage in railing accusations that lack any substantiation, in contrast to what I provided.

Now you need provide where I taught error on Catholic doctrine is on baptism and other theological matters and did not reference true Catholic sources on this issue. And even where you think I have so that I can show you.

"You obviously did not learn about Catholic doctrine if you are unaware that baptism cleanses us from original sin and confirmation is our born again moment.."

And where did I deny that Catholic doctrine teaches that baptism cleanses us from original sin and confirmation is our born again moment? I actually stated that in Catholicism justification is on the basis of actual righteousness, which is first attained via the act itself [ex opere operato] of baptism (and which for infants means without even having to repent and to believe on the Lord Jesus with all their heart, which is contrary to Acts 2:38; 8:36,37; 10:43–47- 15:7–9) effecting "infused” righteousness [inasmuch as the infusion of sanctifying grace makes the subject holy and inaugurates the state or condition of sanctity], for in RC theology one is formally justified by their own righteousness. (Catholic Encyclopedia>Sanctifying Grace)

Of course that is an unscriptural delusion which is abundantly evidenced by the vast multitudes of infant-baptized Catholic children, especially in colleges.

"Heck, Protestants don’t actually believe in an active heaven where spirits interact with earthly spirits...it’s lunacy."

Actually you are the one showing ignorance here of what evangelicals believe, who actually pray to God to send His angels to help, but if you mean praying to created beings in Heaven, then you reprove the Holy Spirit for nowhere testifying to any believers doing this while inspiring over 200 prayers in Scripture. How dare you infer He was negligent or would not include some if this was a practice of the faithful of God!

Put up or shut up.

You are such a master of tilting at strawmen.

Wow, so many blatant falsehoods about Christian beliefs that I don’t even know where to start.

But we’ll start with ‘citation needed’ on every sentence of your posts this thread.
