“John the Baptist DID NOT become Catholic...
“sure he did.
.............
FACTS please. Assertions and opinions are fine when identified as such.
So far, you shared an opinion.
If you cannot back it up with evidence, it is simply bluster on a very blustery thread.
So far on this thread, I’ve asked you for evidence about 3 of your specious claims. No evidence yet...
From your wiki link, which fails to state that Calvin burned Sevectus, not *Servectus*.
When Calvin requested that Servetus be executed by decapitation as a traitor rather than by fire as a heretic, Farel, in a letter of 8 September, chided him for undue lenience.[34] The Geneva Council refused his request. On 27 October 1553 Servetus was burned at the stake just outside Geneva with what was believed to be the last copy of his book chained to his leg. Historians record his last words as: "Jesus, Son of the Eternal God, have mercy on me."[35]
From this link Unitarian Universalist site.
I got the following message..."The requested document does not exist on this server. "
Dan Corner
An independent source? A blog? Dan who? Still fails to show that Calvin did the deed.
Hat trick fail.
I didn't expect any less as the answers would be too incriminating to Catholicism. I can see that the best course of action by a Catholic would be to deem them unworthy of an answer.
I won’t waste my breath.
You can make it to heaven if you have not been exposed to the teachings of Jesus Christ but have lived your life according to the beatitudes. This is the teaching of the Catholic Church. On the otherhand if you have been exposed to Jesus Christ and you flatly refuse to abide by his teachings, you are going South when you leave this earth. When He gives explicit requirements to entering his Kingdom, and you ignore him, and indeed make fun of him, I don’t want to be that person on Judgement Day.
“Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you” John 6:53
The earliest Church Fathers believed in the Real Presence and taught that if you do not partake in the Eucharist, you can not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
All Christians believed this for the first 1,500 years after Christ perished on the cross. Martin Luther believed this. But the bastardized version of the Church, invented by followers of his, do not believe in the Real Presence and most protestants make fun of Catholics, the FIRST CHRISTIANS, who have been following the orders of Christ for the last 2,000 years.
I would hate like hell to be a Catholic-bashing “christian”, who has been exposed to the truth, but refuses to admit the truth, when his days on this earth are done.
I would suggest you use same some of that venom for radical muslims that are trying to whip Christians off the face of the earth.
Why the protestant guilt complex? I think we all know the answer.
You know the day is coming, verga, when all you may have is breath. To wail and gnash, day and night.
Your BetterThanYouness does...
Or any brains cells either it seems.
I was specifically speaking of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Describing the Life, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In otherwords the New Testament.
I guess the Marines are RIGHT!!!
I guess Jesus sure was dumb for getting Himself killed!
Why the Catholic superiority complex? I think we all know the answer.
Can you ever stop with the inane obnoxious comments?
They are not the least bit amusing.
“So I guess we should thank the Catholic Church for God”.
Without the Holy Bible, how would you have known about God?
PROTESTants refuse to believe in Tradition. So since you refuse to believe in Tradition, you are exactly right. Without the Catholic Church telling you about the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ, you would have no way of knowing he ever existed.
A fact is a fact no matter how many times you deny it.
Tell that to one of the foremost PROTESTANT and now CATHOLIC THEOLOGIANS of our time.

I suspected as much.
I went back even further; to the first DOUBT being cast on what GOD did or did not say.
In today's world the quote is like: "Does GOD's word REALLY mean that???"
THIS PROTESTant 'believes' it; he just don't think it is NECESSARY!
Why?
My gripe is not with a Koolaid drinker; but a Koolaid MAKER.
“Tradition” is not part of my religion.
Being saved has nothing to do with all those rituals and cloisters. It’s faith and worship of Jesus/God that saves your soul.
If we last another 200 years I swear there will be a Saint Pie Day where everyone bakes a pie for their favorite saint.
