>>You mean like telling someone they’re linking to a hate site when they’re not? <<

I posted the link with the Google search of the quote you gave. It reveled four anti-Catholic sites.

I posted the link to the Google search.

And again, the thread is “Do Protestants think Catholics are Christians?”
People can find out for themselves.

I must admit that Luther added the word "alone" to Romans 3:28, so there does exist at least one translation which supports sola fide, though only through fraud.

Sola scriptura is not supported by any Bible.

It’s a kind of retaliation for Prottys noting RC’s bowing down in front of wood statues of Mary.

It’s a dig at Protty’s focus on Scripture printed on wood pulp.

Mary was conceived immaculate and born sinless, by the power of God.

Since this is the core of the deceit, please provide Scriptural evidence of this blaspehmy.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" -- Romans 3:23


"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one." -- Romans 3:10


"But the Scripture hath concluded all under sin..." -- Galatians 3:22


"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." -- Romans 5:12

Read your Bible.

So, IMO, that is what we should do, anything else is ADDING to scripture, something I’m not comfortable doing.

Wellllllllllll, the RC edifice has many centuries of practice AT THAT!

>>But none of us here has the devil IN them.<<

That's why I said bad choice of words. I think the Devil gets in my keyboard. In fact I'm nearly positive. XD

Sola scriptura is not Biblical, and I am not burdened by such Biblical error.

thanks. Please also pray for our water. We aren’t getting any. It just happened suddenly. No toilet, no water. And a dog that isn’t supposed to doo doo on the rug, just DID. Pray the water situation isn’t costly and can be fixed quickly.

Our church has a lot of ex-Catholics. Lovely folks.

But, but, they don’t believe the Bible is the final Word, Dr. E.

I’m not bound by the lying false doctrine that everything I believe can be proven from the Bible.

= = =

Casting aspersions on the Living Word of God

is . . . fascinatingly cheeky, imho.

By the way, Christ was born God and man, yet surely you do not include Him in that “all have sinned.”

So it is possible He could do whatever He wanted, despite what He would later write in the New Testament.

There is a lot more scripture about honoring scripture than about honoring mary.

= = =

by a wide margin.

Who is “we?”

Ask Dr. Eckleburg if Mary had the free will at that moment to say “no.”

Hey what do you expect from a crowd who considers their own opinions as fact.

Why do you?

Do not ascribe that poisonous idea to me.

As said a dozen times, I posted directly from the vatican.va site and I deleted the footnote numbers because I thought it made the reading clearer, exactly as when I delete the footnote numbers of any excerpts I post from the Westminster Confession of Faith.

If I had posted an incorrect reading of the catechism you might have a point. But I didn't. I posted the exact words of the RCC catechism.

Do you really not understand how this kind of meaningless back-and-forth is just deflecting any real discussions of the words themselves and what they actually mean?

Thankfully, anyone reading these posts can see what's occuring...over and over and over.

And why.

"From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm." -- 1 Timothy 1:6-7
