The most ardent defender of sola Scriptura will concede, for example, that Scripture has little or nothing to say about DNA structures, microbiology, the rules of Chinese grammar, or rocket science.

I agree Hoss man. The Bible has nothing to say about brain surgery either, but wasn't Chinese grammar kind of settled at the Tower of Babel? 😂😆😃 I agree, however. The Bible is the only thing I use. I am not into that tradition thing. Hey look, if some don't want to accept it, that's on them. They may feel free to knock themselves out. 😇

BTW, the other Hoss man, is Marian Hossa of the Chicago Blackhawks. I hope they win another Stanley Cup. 😃

I am sorry to say, I used to kneel before that graven image. 😡

No, that was the porcelain convenience...that was when you were having so much fun sinning and thinking that weekly confession would absolve you......it wouldn't....and didn't

Yes, it has only been refuted about 3.753 million times,

It was probably refuted more often than that in your first month with the heavenly navigators....remember that navigating without a rudder is VERY DANGEROUS....rocks, sandbars, FALSE PORTS...one never knows.

But the "Catholic facts" often diverge from just the facts Ma'am. There's the rub.

Sorry Charlie...Catholic facts are THE facts....you can't change them...Christ promised that...facts are facts....reforming them is IMPOSSIBLE

Her funeral mass was concelebrated by a bevy of priests .... But it was the message that made me want to cry.. In it the family friend priest told the full church that she was now a saint in heaven and they could pray to her She, like Mother Teresa.. was judged by men to be a"saint" using mens and Rome's standards , not Gods

Good grief woman, what the hell did you expect the priest to say....she was a sinner and drank too much and was probably in HELL???????????If you believe in OSAS...then she was SAVED and in Heaven.....everyone in Heaven is a Saint.......therefore you can ask her....as a saint....to pray for you.........she is in Heaven and you still have a long way to go.

**Sorry Charlie...Catholic facts are THE facts....you can’t change them...Christ promised that...facts are facts....reforming them is IMPOSSIBLE**

So much proud bluster; claiming your facts are in agreement with the Lord and his apostles. Maybe you can tell me what other RCs can’t:

If the ‘eucharist’ is eaten for eternal life, why the repetition?
Does it wear off?
If so, why does it wear off?
If it wears off, does one know when it has worn off?
One time doesn’t have the power to get the job done?

Why is there no detailed written ‘eucharist’ instruction from Peter in his recorded instances of converting souls in Acts, or in his epistles? If it is for eternal life, it should be right smack in the middle of Acts 2:38.

I think it’s because that Peter knew that it was spiritual, not physical. You have to ‘eat’ that Spirit (Holy Ghost baptism) that was in every cell of Jesus Christ’s body.

Paul says that the Lord’s supper is done in remembrance of the Lord’s death. In the same passage where the Lord’s supper is taught, Jesus said that it is the Spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing. Paul taught that we are to be filled with the Spirit, so that we don’t fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

The same Lord that taught the ‘Lord’s supper’, also said: “Strait is the gate and narrow is the way that leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”

It was a porcelain graven image, like the golden calf. You call it what you like. That's on you. You are right about going to confession to a priest. It didn't absolve anyone of anything, especially most of my catholic school classmates, who were worse sinners than me. It looked to me like some of them were real reprobates, and possibly still are. So, being as a priest was powerless to do anything for me, I got help navigating through all the false doctrines I encountered, and now I know the truth. You may not like it. Once again, that's on you. Our views on the truth are obviously light years apart. So be it. See you at the pearly gates, where I know I will be welcomed by those good Catholics that wrote the Old Testament, like Moses, David, Jeremiah. Thank God they were good Catholics. Not.

My guess is it's done in begrudging obedience to the Moderator's correction a while back to always include the book/chapter/verse when quoting Scripture - with a little rebellious spin included to keep the letter, but not the spirit, of the rule.

Yeah, but it is....has been since its inception and foundation by Jesus Himself...

Nope. Just another example of the twisting of scripture by Rome to try to shoehorn it into its false doctrine.

Christ didn't found a cult. But sadly that's what Roman Catholicism is.

It always amazes me: Christians identify as....Christians. Not Presbyterian or Baptist or Methodist. But Catholics always identify as that: Catholic.

Like it means something.

I belong to Christ, not some man-made cult.

Of course they cannot contradict, being both scripture. So what is the resolution? Paul refers explicitly to “works of the law” not “faith and works”. Why is that? He is lecturing the Jews who would be christians not lazy christians who want to believe in one and done.

I doubt any believer, who has the Holy Spirit living in him, can blaspheme the Holy Spirit.

And second you may want to check what scripture says about calling someone a fool.

Galatians 3

1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard?
3 Are you so foolish?
 
 
 

Elsieans 1

1 You foolish Americans! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes 'fetuses' are clearly portrayed as HUMAN!
2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you create such a Great Nation by Loving and Nurturing your children, or by killing them?
3 WHY are you so foolish?

Joking aside, there is nothing either clever or funny about foreign languages, they simply are as they are.

Indeed!

The day Reagan got shot, my then midteen daughter and I had traveled from central Indiana on our way to Florida.

Somewhere in the Deep South, we stopped for lunch at a local MickeyD.

As we sat down at the table with our food, she softly said to me, "Dad; they sure talk funny down here!"

I replied, "No dear; WE are the ones who talk funny here."
