catholicism doesn’t seem to be able to stand up to the light of truth. sure sign of a cult.
This could be taken as “giving a reason for the hope that dwells within us.”
The church would have still been a split thing if the reformers had never gotten into the picture, both pieces of the split swearing against the other that only THEY were the keeper of total accuracy. When was the last time you ever heard either the Romans or the Orthodox complaining that if only the Protestants got on board, they could then unite with one another?
I sometimes get the sense that the Protestant revolution was, quite largely, the reductio ad absurdam that the Lord applied in rebuke to the state the church got into. There is a lot of reflexively accepted “cruft” all over the church... not just the oldest line parts of it. The church needs salvation. Well guess what, the church has salvation... not in the body of its own doctrines but in Christ.
This is also what made the work of C. S. Lewis so rare. He almost alone of men on earth attempted to embrace around all the gaps, and attempted to show that with Christ this indeed was possible in principle.
Posting a link to a debate between a Reformed Baptist apologist and a Catholic priest is “Catholic bashing” in your mind?
What is it you imagine is “Catholic bashing” about this article?
Debate is not bashing IMO. I think the question posed was done so by the author to evoke a discussion.
