Should we Evangelize Protestants ?

The Catholic Thing ^ | August 9th, 2020 | Casey Chalk

[ADSUM]

From someone that rejected God’s Word, the Catholic Church, Catholic faith and many more revealed God’s Truth.

The Catholic Catechism is based on the authority that Jesus gave His Catholic Church to preach and baptize all nations and is based on the teachings of Jesus and is free from doctrinal or moral error.

May God have mercy on you.

[Mom MD]

May God have mercy on you leading your flock into human based error and away from the Truth of the Scripture. Although the Scripture you like to hold inferior to your catechism and that actually is God breathed and without error pretty clearly states there is not much mercy for the wolves that lead the flock astray. I hope you become acquainted with actual Truth and avoid that fate

[MHGinTN]

Aw, you so dull. Go get some more ‘divinity’ from one of your pedophile or homo priesthood. Eat that wafer as your work to earn. You will remain clueless, eating and drinking unworthily. Your gut is not getting Christ in you, for your gut is part of the flesh (body and soul interface) not the spirit. Jesus applies HIS blood to the spirit not the dead flesh. But you just keep working to obtain while you scoff and mock ‘Hell ain’t half full’, as the old preacher used to say.

[MHGinTN]

You don’t even know what is The One True Chruch, so how is it that you arrogantly tell someone ‘may God have mercy’? You are ignorant by design, satan’s design. You havesquandered the GRace offered to you by insisting your ORG is what Jesus established. You are in horrivle danger, eternal danger! We keep warning you and showing you what is God’s Truth and you keep pointing to your chosen ORG. Wake up before it is too late for you. Be born again in the now and have God abiding in you (1 John 3:9). Without HHis life abiding in you, your spirit cannot resonate when Jesus returns to gather His Body of Believers to Himself and return tio the Father’s House while the seven years of testing befalls the earthdwellers. Don’t be an earthdweller, be born again in the spirit of HIS PRESEMCE in your spirit.

[Luircin]

Considering your blatant falsehoods about what I believe, I have to wonder if you can handle any kind of truth.

How about you stop using strawmen? I know telling the truth about other Christians is a hard thing for Catholics, but you can do it if you try.

But as for now, you’re only adding evidence to the theory that that Catholicism is the Whore of Babylon because your defense of it rests entirely on a foundation of untruth.

Note to self: stop trying to post from a little phone keyboard. Fingers too big for that.

[Mom MD]

LOL. i have the same problem

Please show me your Lutheran truth and the authority that it is God’s Truth. Show me the error in the Catholic faith, instead of a general statement with no facts.

From past posts you claimed to be a Lutheran that was established by an excommunicated Catholic priest for heresy that established a new religion and subsequently has split into Over 40 different Lutheran denominations currently exist in North America.

How can your church have so many different doctrines about God’s Truth? Some or perhaps most are false based on man’s views.

The Lutheran Church is primarily based on the teachings and beliefs of the 16th-century German friar, church reformer and theologian, Martin Luther. While there are many distinct bodies of the Lutherans throughout the world, each one to a certain extent follows the theology of Martin Luther and his Protestant Reformation from the Catholic Church.

Lutherans promotes the concept of justification “by grace alone through faith alone on the basis of Scripture alone”, the belief that the Bible is the ultimate authority on all issues of faith.

Nowhere in the Bible is stated by faith alone or scripture alone. Perhaps Luther added the word “alone”.

4. Worship: Unlike most Protestant religions, Lutheranism retains many of the outward symbols and liturgical structure of Catholicism. For instance, most Lutheran churches have altars, and their clergy wear vestments similar to those worn by Catholic priests. However, Lutheran churches aren’t bound by a central authority to follow any particular format, so you can often find differences between one church and another.

I see false prophets and false teachers out side of the Catholic faith. There may be a few in the Catholic Church, but the Catholic faith itself is true to God’s Word.

Did Jesus give any authority to start a new religion with new teachings to Martin Luther? Yes, there were errors and corruption in the Catholic Church over indulgences (which were corrected) but Luther denied his faith and broke away.

[Luircin]

Oh hey, ADSUM isn’t just a mind-reader, but he’s a TEMPORAL mind reader too!

We’ve discovered the first superhero and he can read the mind of a German doctor 500 years ago. Worst superpower EVER.

That or he’s setting up yet another strawman that only total morons would believe.

[Luircin]

And the Catholic once again has to resort to DUH, MY OPPONENTS ARE STOOPID.

Martin Luther was a doctor of the faith, and that was in the day when a Doctorate was more than just repeating whatever the Pope de jour claims is true.

To claim that Luther “didn’t understand” a point of Catholic doctrine when he earned a doctoral position at Wittenberg is moronic at best and outright deceptive at worst.

Betcha didn’t know that Martin Luther could well have been His Eminence Cardinal Luther if he’d wanted it.

Instead he chose God’s Word. Exchanged a life of luxury for quite possibly being executed by the state.

...the Blessed Mother Mary, the first among all disciples,

Can I add THIS to my list??

[Elsie]

There is so much ya’ll think you know about the one true faith that is just plain wrong.

Uh; like what?

While the rosary, the Memorare, and other prayers are wonderfully powerful ways to intercede for others, Our Blessed Mother decided, in 1840, to help us get a little more creative in regards to how we pray for healing and spiritual conversion for the people in our lives.

Exactly six years later, Mary appeared again, and Sr. Justine asked her these important questions. Our Lady’s reply was surprisingly simple and rather intriguing:

“This scapular is not like others [it is not based on a religious habit] but merely two holy images on a single piece of material. Therefore, no special formula is required to bless it or enroll someone in its use. It suffices that it be blessed by a Catholic priest and worn by the one whom we desire to benefit by Our Lady’s intercession. If, on the other hand, the person is unable, or even unwilling, to wear it or carry it, it may even be slipped, unknown to them, into their clothes, possessions, home or work environments, etc."

 

 

 

[Elsie]

You keep quoting the Roman catechism.

So do I!!

[Elsie]

My intention is to inform about God’s Word and contradict false statements about the Catholic faith and God’s Word.

Go for it!!

Call no man father.

The Catholic Catechism is based on the authority that Jesus gave His Catholic Church to preach and baptize all nations and is based on the teachings of Jesus and is free from doctrinal or moral error.

Golly!

How do you explain the FACT that the evidence shows they did a REALLY poor job from the getgo??

[Elsie]

Show me the error in the Catholic faith, I

Why?

You 'explain' it away or ignore it.

1. Call no man father
2. "What more shall I teach you than what we read in the apostle?
For Holy Scripture fixes the rule for our doctrine, lest we dare to be wiser than we ought.
Therefore I should not teach you anything else except to expound to you the words of the Teacher."

 Augustine  (De bono viduitatis)

Nowhere in the Bible is stated by faith alone or scripture alone.

You really have that short of a memory??

John 6:22-36

²² The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone away alone. ²³ Then some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. ²⁴ Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.

 

²⁵ When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”

²⁶ Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. ²⁷ Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

³⁰ So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? ³¹ Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’^[c]”

³² Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. ³³ For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

³⁴ “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”

³⁵ Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. ³⁶ But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.

1 John 3:21-23

Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.

One day during the FR religious Wars, a Catholic apologist and his fellow comrades were patrolling through the theologically mountainous terrain at FreeRepublic.

Suddenly, they get a reply from one of their daily screeds about CatholicISM's superiority:

 

"One Protestant can take out 10 Catholic apologists!"

 

The Catholic apologist leader smirks, then sends 10 of his buds onto their keyboards.

A brief flamewar ensues, and then everything goes quiet...

 

"One Protestant can take out 100 Catholic apologists!"

 

The Catholic apologist leader is rightfully impressed, so he laughs and sends 100 of his minions over the 'Net to finish the job.

A large flamewar is heard over the thread that lasts much longer than the previous fight.

Finally, everything calms down...

 

"One Protestant can take out 1000 Catholic apologists!"

 

The Catholic apologist leader is furious, and sends over 1000 of his best Catechism trained; Saints in waiting; to annihilate these upstarts. 

A massive and lengthy battle takes place; with a mod or two getting involved.

During the fight, a wounded apologist comes crawling back over the hill toward the Leader.

 

"Sir! Do not send any more of us! It's a trap! THERE'S TWO OF THEM!!"
