So let me get this straight. The Holly Spirit says through Paul that if someone teaches something different then they did that teacher is accursed. The Catholics can’t prove that today’s “traditions” are the same traditions the apostles were talking about. Yet they want people to join them. Why would anyone join with those who the only infallible word we know calls accursed?
Jesus taught us to trust His Church.
Protestants tell us that the Bible should be the SOLE rule of faith, or the final authority in matters of Christian doctrine.
Yet the Bible does not teach this.
Jesus never teaches this.
How does Jesus recommend that we "make disciples of all the nations"?
Matthew 28:18-20Jesus tells his Apostles to make disciples of all the nations by baptizing and teaching.Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
And Jesus tells his disciples that he will always be with them.
Jesus gives His Church the Authority to teach. He identifies Himself with His Church, here, and when he asks Saul, "why are you persecuting me?
This is why Christ had harsh words for those who reject his Church. "If he will not listen to the church, treat him as a pagan or tax collector."
This is why we can trust Christ's Church.
This is good news! Christ has given us a living Church.
Ironically, this is why Protestants can trust the Bible that Christ's Church wrote, preserved, and canonized.
“Why would anyone join with those who the only infallible word we know calls accursed?”
And there we see a Protestant anti-Catholic resorting to simply making things up AGAIN. Nothing in Scripture condemns the Catholic Church or the Catholic faith. For a Protestant to say so is simply to make something up.
