Protestants and Sola Scriptura

Humpty Dumpty reigns! An Altar is not an altar but what I say it is. Divine honors are not divine honors but what I say they are. You are wicked by definition.

Ah, the wonders of YOPIOS. A word can mean ANYTHING you want it to mean, in fact the SAME WORD can even change meanings within a single phrase if you need it to.

[Petronski]

...we don't continually sacrifice Christ over and over.

Nor do Catholics.

[conservativegramma]

Okay, fair enough. Then why have them? Also, why do I see people doing that if its prohibited???

[wagglebee]

I asked:
I'm very interested WHAT EXACTLY do you think the church picture in 1380 has to do with the Catholic Church? Please be precise.

You responded:
Statuary everywhere. Flowers laid before statuary. Statues, statues, statues........

You STILL have not answered the question.

[conservativegramma]

How did I NOT answer it? Are not Roman Catholic churches filled with statues?

[Titanites]

we don't continually sacrifice Christ over and over

Neither do Catholics.

Luke 22:19 And He took bread, gave thanks and broke [it,] and gave [it] to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

What is your justification for not doing this?

[Uri’el-2012]

Could you explain who is being worshiped here?

baruch HaShem

[Mad Dawg]

Please, Titanites, don't confuse us with the facts, don't try to interfere with obfuscation by bringing clarity to the matter.

That image in the back there, the one to whom the priest turns his back for most of the Mass, THAT is who is being worshiped.

We Catholics always show our idolatrous worship by turning our backs on things. Stop with the spin stuff, okay?

[Petronski]

Christ, in the Real Presence of the Eucharist and in the Liturgy of the Word.

[Titanites]

Also, why do I see people doing that if its prohibited???

Are you God? Has he given you the ability to read the hearts of all people?

[conservativegramma]

Regarding Luke 22:19 - we DO celebrate the Lord’s Supper. We do NOT however have the Doctrine of transubstantiation where the bread and the wine LITERALLY become the body and blood of Christ. That is more blasphemy.

[wagglebee]

Catholics don't pray to statues and are prohibited from doing so by Church teaching.

Titanites, it is quite obvious that you HAVE NOT read the last several hundred posts, otherwise you would understand that Catholics DO NOT understand what the Church is actually teaching.

For instance, it is entirely possible that the phrase "not allowed" REALLY means "go ahead and do it anyway."

[Titanites]

Could you explain who is being worshiped here?

Nobody. It is a photograph.

[conservativegramma]

Okay idiot here....what exactly does ‘baruch HaShem’ mean?

[Petronski]

Thank God.

[wagglebee]

Yes, I understand that you have a problem with the Catholic Church, statues and flowers. What I do not understand is how this relates to the church pictured in 1380.

[Titanites]

We do NOT however have the Doctrine of transubstantiation where the bread and the wine LITERALLY become the body and blood of Christ. That is more blasphemy.

So we can assume you are one of those who don't believe what Jesus said.

Luke 22:19 And He took bread, gave thanks and broke [it,] and gave [it] to them, saying, "This is My body

[Mad Dawg]

“Blessed be the (holy) Name.”

[Petronski]

Okay, my first effort to translate that failed.

Then I found this:

Baruch Hashem Adonai / Blessed be the name of the Lord

“You really feel that being emotional is the best way to relate to the divine?”

No, but it is an appropriate way to react to the grand gift that is given you that is salvation.

All those wild 1st catholic guys at pentecost...sheesh. Heretics!
