Some of them.
Do those beliefs represent Orthodox teaching, or are they the whims of made up doctrine and beliefs?
You'll have to point them out one by one and I can answer them one by one. I've been wrong before, myself, and been corrected not only by Catholics, but by non Catholics as well. However, the Faith is the Faith and, well, is.
Things like soul annihilation, Christ was a myth, the Bible is full of magic, not even knowing if God exists, denying the miracles of rising from the dead and walking on water, denial of transubstantiation, etc....
You deny transubstantiation. Are you one of those of whom you speak?
These folks claim to represent Catholicism and condemn Protestantism for it's many factions, and yet, we have here people who claim to be Catholics bragging about the unity of Catholic doctrine, each believing what he wants without regard to what Rome teaches.
The Faith is the Faith, regardless of departures of any individuals. Even the great Augustine departed from the Faith for a time. Some of the Church Doctors were condemned because they adopted non Christian beliefs. The floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops. No matter, the Faith goes on.
Exactly,dear mark!
Non Catholics can never say "the faith is the faith" regardless of departures because there is no foundation of an forever changing faith that makes up their faith and departures is the core of protestant faith
I’m talking about those who call themselves Catholics who deny transubstantiation, who call the Bible a *magic book*, and NL who claims that there is no eternal damnation but soul annihilation upthread.
