They rarely do

You are correct when you say that Lutheran and Catholic beliefs are very close. After centuries of disunity both churches came together to clarify the doctrine of justification, and if you will take a few minutes to read it, you guys will see it was done biblically...

As far as Christology goes, I think we are in agreement.

What a treat for Jesus

Probably because of his trying to take James out of the New Testament and I know you know why he would want to do so. I don't like to speak for people but Cathode's conclusion that sola fide is wrong is probably based on the following. First, because the Bible never says it anywhere. In fact...

I was brought up in a Baptist family, came to Christ (repented of my sins and trusted Christ as my Savior and Lord) at the age of eleven and was taught that if something is Catholic it has to be wrong. Liturgy is definately part of Catholic worship and so it was to be rejected as ritualistic...

That only addresses the liberal teachings of some of these denominations. Some of these churches would be considered 'fundies' such as The Churches of Christ, The United Pentecostal Church (Unitarians), Jehovah's Witnesses, The Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod, WELS, The Evangelical Presbyterian...

And, speaking of 'Bible believing', maybe be more concerned about the mess that all these 'sola scriptura' churches have become: The American Baptist Church, The Episcopal Church, The Disciples of Christ, The Presbyterian Church USA, The Evangelical Lutheran Church, The Church of Christ, The...

What is the reason churches are withdrawing from the EPC? Women as Elders? I noticed that they're allowing women to serve out their terms without voice or vote.

We have the Scripture readings in those books you weren't noticing everyone using. Did you notice the huge amount of Scriptures being read? Did you notice that the corporate confession (repentance) is at the beginning of every mass? There is an Altar Call at every mass as we receive Holy...

I also want to say is what matters is whether a person has the right relationship with Jesus. I grew up ina 'Hyles like' Baotist church that the pastor used a few verses of scripture in his sermon each Sunday followed by an Altar Call where you prayed 'this little prayer' and bingo. You were...

Thank you for your kind words. I converted from being Baptist to the Catholic Faith. I attend mass daily. I also pray the Daily Office which is contemplative prayer and reading of scripture that we are encouraged to read, mark and inwardly digest in order to better follow and serve Jesus...

Excellent!

I'm going to concede that the reference in Psalms is not clearly an example of angelic intercession. So, I haven't had opportunity to read this thread in its entirety, so I want to give you what appears to me biblical reference to angels interceding on the part of mankind. Then the angel of the...
