yeah....right...
Your post 388......LOL! Love it!
I never denied that...they were baptized Catholic...nothing else possible...and they choose to follow another Christian denomination.....but they were all once Catholic.....you can't be Baptized Lutheran.....doesn't work that way.
you're right....it was bread, right up until the moment when God said "THIS IS MY BODY"...Then it was His Body.....do you question His ability to do that???
>Once a "Catholic priest" posts a comment that says that Protestants give birth to babies around Christmas time so that they can eat them--all credibility is lost.<
Makes you wonder what catholic priests are taught in seminary. Wonder if this goes up the line to the pope?
Yes, and they work quite well....the reason that protestant denominations do not have apologetic courses is that it is impossible to defend erroneous misinterpretation of the truth.....impossible.
Sorry, you both are wrong. They're baptized into the family of God. No denomination.
Actually Christian churches do have apologetics courses. At the seminary I’m taking lasses you can get a concentration in apologetics.
Just what I asked
History? We have scripture. The very words of God. What more is there to keep track of? We give glory to God alone, not some fake lineage of man.
You must learn to discern the difference between stones and snowballs....there is very little animosity on these threads, just a lot of misinformation and attempts to set people straight.....soon they all return to the fold,...Christ said so.(remeember the prodigal son....he thought he was right when he left....he wasn't....and he returned)
Yet you still cast stones at each other
That is a fact!!!!
It's called a cult. The more I learn the more I'm convinced.
Oh but they do. It's called scripture. Only cults add to that. Mormons, Muslims, Catholics, those types.
That would be correct...however, when we are baptized, we are baptized into the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Christian Church.....for 1,600 years no one argued that fact....they still can't. You can certainly be validly Baptized in another Christian church building, but you are being baptized Catholic....impossible for any other result.
Catholicism is the only complete and absolutely Christian church on Earth....other denominations aren't necessarily bad, just in error or incomplete...you are Baptized Catholic and then are either raised in another denomination or leave on your own accord....
Not at all....you can be a Christial and not a Catholic...you cannot be a Catholic and not a Christian...
You can be a bad Catholic and a Bad Christian, you can be a bad Baptist and a Bad Christian If you are validly baptized you are both a Christian and a Catholic....how good is up to you.
“Ask your fellow Catholics if they believe in what the Bible has recorded.”
The Bible, yes. Your misinterpretation that even most other Protestants don’t believe, no.
Freed them from original sin....they were nice little babies....what they did with their lives is what we all do, make decisions, some good, some bad, and live out our lives as such. All are accountable in the end....I don't want to be any of them.
“I suppose you would have to define what Protestant means to you.”
Gee, thanks, Bill Clinton for your opinion about the word “is”.
“To most people it would mean they align or belong to one of the Protestant organizations. I don’t.”
On doctrines, you do.
“If we wanted to play loose with terminology I suppose that given the Catholic Church claims they and the Muslims serve the same god would that make you a Muslim or them Catholics?”
Or Jews, right? Since, after all, all three profess to believe in the God of Abraham. See, not even your example makes sense.
