I believe in Jesus that established the Catholic Church and the Sacraments and told us to go forth preach and baptize all nations with His Truth.

Which does not make it any more true than your other assertions that are a poor excuse for a argument.

I don’t believe false prophets and false teachers (or those that play games with the Word of God) from the protestant heresy.

"The" protestant heresy?! As shown and ignored except for more parroting of refuted propaganda, it is distinctive Catholic teachings are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (which is Scripture, in particular Acts through Revelation, which best shows how the NT church understood the gospels).

As you know, Catholics follow the Apostles in calling our priests and spiritual fathers as “Fathers”.

Wrong again, since while I do not agree that a true believer cannot refer to himself as father and be called such by them, however, it is wrong to adopt that as a title that all are to call you since you are not their spiritual father, and Catholic priests are not NT pastors, and are not spiritual fathers via baptizing souls, since contrary to Cath doctrine, that act itself (ex opere operato) does not effect regeneration. Thus the typical way Catholic priests are fathers is by making souls the child of hell like themselves (cf. Matthew 23:15)

If you read the full passage, then you would understand that Jesus used hyperbole to state a warning that no one should pridefully desire honorific titles.

I actually agree with "cal no man father" being hyperbole, as well as the censure of wearing ostentatious distinctive clothing in order to receive honor, yet both of which Rome disregards, from ostentatious garb to illustrious titles and calling her priests fathers as a formal title.

Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man. For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away. (Job 32:21-22)

Jesus often used “Amen, amen”, “Truly, truly” or Verily, verily” to emphasize Truth in His Words. He didn’t use those expressions here, but did to inform us that His Body and Blood was necessary for our salvation In John 6.

And thus you must answer the question asked before in post 45 and ignored, which is how can you take John 6:53 literally, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you," (John 6:53) and yet be a V2 Catholic when Lumen Gentium and other modern teaching generally affirms of properly baptized Protestants - all of which deny the Catholic Real Presence and according to Rome lack the necessary priest to confect the Eucharist - "that those who are baptized in these communities are, by Baptism, incorporated in Christ, and are "in a certain, although imperfect, communion with the Catholic Church," being "joined with us in the Holy Spirit" who "is operative among them," such as the "many who take Sacred Scripture as a norm of belief and a pattern of life" and lovingly believe in the Trinity.? Sources. Answer and do not resort to obscurantism.

You keep repeating the same old message which is an example of lack of faith and understanding of God’s Word.

Rather, most all your posts are simply continually asserting beliefs that have been refuted and one can only wish were established. Including the premise that God’s Word is whatever Rome says it is. Thus let me ask you again another question you ignore, which is do you think a Catholic can obtain an indulgence by posting as you do here?

Your comment: “Rather, most all your posts are simply continually asserting beliefs that have been refuted and one can only wish were established. Including the premise that God’s Word is whatever Rome says it is.”

That is you false personal opinion because you reject some of God’s Truth, His Catholic Church, the authority that Jesus gave His Church, some of His Sacraments including the Real Presence in the Eucharist.

While the Catholic Church recognizes valid Baptisms and that there are many similar beliefs we share with protestants and there is a hope for reconciliation with all christians, there is also a recognition that many are imperfect in their faith in God with their rejection of key revealed truths from God.

Jesus in His Mercy does see into a person’s heart and wants us to repent and change.

I try to share my Catholic faith that is God’s Truth as best as I can. I am concerned for many that say they have faith but have rejected many revealed truths. We have been asked to pray for the conversion of sinners by the Blessed Mother as Jesus is upset that many are following the ways of the world that will prevent many from sharing eternal life with Him.
