“That the thing it describes didn’t exist in Scripture? Yes!”

The concept of sola scriptura is of and from Satan.

[Quix]

I don’t claim to have the capacity to make such connections

understandable by every RC.

[Cronos]

let's see: it says we ask Mary TO PRAY FOR us. THen we address her as Mother of Mercy (Mother of Christ who is Mercy personaified), Mother of the All-Holy One.

We surrender the hour of our death in her care. May she be there as she was at her son's death on the cross.

Well -- wasn't she there are the time of her son's death ont he cross?

"May she welcome us as our mother at the hour of our passing to lead us to her son, Jesus in paradise." --> So, you wouldn't want to be lead to Jesus Christ in paradise? We're asking Christ's mother to pray for us.

“You seem to have missed the point. Write your own “book” with thousands upon thousands of pages, liberally sourced with forged documents, pretend it is information passed down from the Apostles, declare a level of infallibility (faith and morals), and declare you are the “One True”, etc, etc. This is the Catholic way.”

What you desribe has nothing at all to do with the Catholic Church. It is indistinguishable, however, from the lies with which Satan slanders her.

Another underwhelming

POT = KETTLE
MOMENT

BROUGHT TO US BY THE EXPERTS IN SUCH THINGS . . . the blathering Vatican reps.

I see. So if I should want to make some sense of ranting and raving I need to ask a Catholic? Is that it?

p s - And I believe you know this - I am not a Roman Catholic. I am an Orthodox Christian.

[OLD REGGIE]

Good I guess that means you'll leave it to the Jews to interpret scriptures for ya since they've been doing it for around 3500 years.

Only the Old Testament! That makes sense to me.

Hi II. How have you been?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Irrespective of the mischaracterization of the Reformation position, what you failed to account for was the doctrine of Original Sin.

The Apostolic Church, via Augustine, and against the Pelegians, taught the total corruption of the imago dei that required an all encompassing grace to overcome.

When Rome returned to the Pelegian heresy it lost the essential aspect of the gospel which is God's love shown through free grace.

AMEN!

The RCC used to be somewhat Augustinian. But it, too, has succumbed to the me-ism of a synergistic theology that says God merely offers salvation, but that it is man who elects himself by his good works.

Which, as you've said, denies the Gospel and demotes free grace to wages earned.

"But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;" -- 2 Corinthians 1:9-10

[Quix]

MOST EMPHATICALLY AND THOROUGHLY WRONG.

CHRIST SAID

. . . IT IS WRITTEN
. . . IT IS WRITTEN
. . . IT IS WRITTEN

AS A

POINT OF AUTHORITY.

WHEN HE, CREATOR GOD was standing right there in their faces—HE STILL

REFERRED TO

IT IS WRITTEN

AS

*HIS*

POINT OF AUTHORITY.

We realize that RC’s believe that their

bureaucratic magicsterical power-mongering elites are better than, MORE AUTHORITATIVE THAN Christ on such scores.

Evidently that doesn’t penetrated some substances and structures on this plain.

[Cronos]

Protestants think themselves competent to interpret scripture correctly. They put themselves on the same plane as—or even above—all the greatest minds of the past 2,000 years, when even the greatest minds stood on the shoulders of earlier giants to advance our understanding.

Yes, that's why Quix believes that we can lose our salvation by loss of faith or grievous sin and there is no limited salvation but that God came for all. This is completely not the interpretation of Calvinists. So, there is a split between these two sola scriptura groupings.

Then of course in the pentecosatal world, you have ONENESS Pente-cosatals who beleive that God Father, son and Holy spirit are just three aspects of the same God, denying the Trinity. And you have Word-of-faith pent-e-costals who believe that there are multiple gods, up to 9 (Benny) and that we are godlings (Kenneth Copeland “You don’t have a God in you. You are one!” and the same guy saying "God's reason for creating Adam was His desire to reproduce Himself. I mean a reproduction of Himself, and in the Garden of Eden He did just that. He was not a little like God. He was not almost like God. He was not subordinate to God even. . . . Adam is as much like God as you could get, just the same as Jesus. . . . Adam, in the Garden of Eden, was God manifested in the flesh.")

bureaucratic magicsterical power-mongering elites are better than, MORE AUTHORITATIVE THAN Christ on such scores.

And, if that doesn’t seem to be working out, that a tug on Mary’s apron strings will bring quick and effective intervention with God Almighty . . . given how She’s His mother and all.

[Cronos]

Actually, we follow the ancient Jewish or rather Judaic interpretation of the OT.

[trisham]

As Archbishop Sheen said, “There are not a hundred people in America who hate the Catholic Church—but there are millions who hate what they mistakenly think the Catholic Church teaches.”

************************

A very wise man. Would that he were here today.

[Cronos]

You seem to have missed the point. Write your own "book" with thousands upon thousands of pages, liberally sourced with forged documents, pretend it is information passed down from the Apostles, declare a level of infallibility (faith and morals), and declare you are the "One True", etc, etc. This is the Catholic way

So do you now reject the Bible?

What are you? A seventh day adventists or a Jehovah's Witness?

[Quix]

For the record . . .

I’ve never observed you to have a significant clue

about

me

or

what I believe.

[Cronos]

WRONG AGAIN!

The Apostolic Church reads God’s Word.

God’s Word declares Holy Spirit will lead us into all truths as we study God’s Word.

We BELIEVE GOD.

—not the uneducated showman "pastor"
—not the excerpts taken out of context.’
—not the Televangelist power-mongers

WE BELIEVE GOD.

[Cronos]

Yes, where it clearly states that through her efficacious intercession with God --> Mary obtains everything from God who she trusts completely. As God's creation that he filled with grace, she has a place of favor to ask for favor for all of us.

“We realize that RC’s believe that their bureaucratic magicsterical power-mongering elites are better than, MORE AUTHORITATIVE THAN Christ on such scores.”

A lie such as that can only be called Satanic evil. If he didn’t spawn it directly, we know that whenever such a wicked lie is told, he is nearby.

You know, Quix, you present yourself as a protestant. I’m beginning to doubt that. I’m beginning to suspect that you are a God-hating atheist, using the mantle of “protestant” to steal undeserved and false credibility.

Anybody remember Sinkspur, who presented himself as a Catholic deacon for so long, all the while attacking the Church? Sinkspur, who was the pet and darling of the Religion Forum moderators—until he was exposed as a fraud?
