I'll re-post some of them if you'd like, but it will be a very lengthy post. When one of the anti-Catholic posters (I can't remember who) recommended I post just the link, he then turned around and said I should have posted the entire list of verses instead. He was unwilling to click on the link.
So, if you're a Catholic here, you can't win. The terms of the debate are set and no reasoned discussion is allowed. When we come up with voluminous Scriptures supporting Catholic doctrines, they're ignored, or one or two of them are cited that might not have the same force taken out of context.
You see, the Catholic view of Scripture is not a “surface literalist” approach, where we pick and choose only those verses which might, on first blush, support our preconceived bias and ignore all the rest which might point in another direction.
The JW’s and other cults use this faulty approach, and play Bible ping-pong in their “evangelizing”. When confronted with their logical inconsistencies and flawed readings of their verses, they almost always retreat.
The Catholic Church interprets the Word of God as the unified, integrated, and consistent Truth that it really is.
I have often wondered why an all powerful, satanic cult Roman Catholic church allowed to be included in Scripture verses which others say contradict her every doctrine and practice?
Dissenters will use every semantic contortion known to man to deny the plain words of Jesus regarding the Eucharist in the Gospel of John as symbolic or spiritual, yet vehemently deny that when Scripture calls someone Jesus' brother, then that cannot be symbolic, spiritual or a nuance of language.
So, if you're a Catholic here, you can't win. The terms of the debate are set and no reasoned discussion is allowed.
Do no despair, many lurkers are seeing what is written here and will be strengthened in their faith, or find cause to look more closely at returning home to the Church. Defense of the faith is never a losing proposition.
