I thought you wanted to know who decided Scriptural Canon before the Catholic church. My apologies.

I find it hard to believe that you were once a “Protestant” and are now catholic.

I have met many catholics in my life and they were all born and raised in that church and are raised believing that you can sin on Friday night and “just go to confessional to be forgiven.”

That is called trampling on the precious blood of Christ, which is a.k.a.: willful sin.

No Protestant I have ever talked to could ever accept that the pope is infallible. The pope is a man who sins. To say he doesn’t is blasphemy, plain and simple.

Kingpins10, have you given thought to why Protestants should believe that the New Testament Canon of Scripture is complete and correct, given that it came to us by way of the Catholic Church councils, as they claim they were led by the Holy Spirit? Why would Protestantism accept this? Was the Catholic Church true then? If so, when did it cease to be true? If it ceased to be true at some point, why would you assume it was true in the 4th century when it ruled on the Canon of the New Testament. Was it also true when, at the Council of Nicea, the doctrine of the Trinity was affirmed? How do you know? How can you trust anything that the Catholic Church gave the world?
