See this is where this Gavin bloke totally ignores the obvious. There is no final arbiter in Protestantism who decides what it means to be Protestant. Everyone has his own ideas. Look at all the statements of faith that oppose each other and all claim the Bible alone as the source. The dudes...

I’m not proselytising. I find myself defending against accusations of satanism, paganry, idol worship and a whole host other false charges. For that I have to point out the very Christian origins of my beliefs, to set things straight as best I can. I rather like to talk about practical...

I have been patient and kind considering the gross accusing and provocation Oseas3 has been perpetrating for years on me, not just months or weeks now. How many years of this should I endure and remain mute before you grant me being a little patient or kind. I doubt anyone on this site has...

“They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Saviour Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins, and which the Father, of His goodness, raised up again. Those, therefore, who speak against this gift of God, incur death in the...

This Gavin Ortlund bloke isn’t intellectually honest. “ In like manner, let all reverence the deacons as an appointment of Jesus Christ , and the bishop as Jesus Christ, who is the Son of the Father, and the presbyters as the sanhedrim of God, and assembly of the apostles. Apart from these...

I’m not showing the animosity. Do you see me call him a follower of the satanic whore of Babylon and will be condemned to never ending hell. His attacks are vile lies and way over the top and personal. Are you seriously comparing what I have said, to his venomous bile. Seriously? I ignored...

Fasting is also a humility, it helps the general disposition before God, it helps a souls understanding its dependence on God for everything. Just as self sufficiency closes off graces, humility opens us up to Graces and true spiritual sight. Self sufficiency/ Pride and self indulgence repel...

They never really address the big hairy mammoth in the room.

Both? Who do you mean?

Without mental prayer we can not develop deep closeness to God. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.” Truly engaging with God requires an all in effort, of your whole being. Jesus doesn’t understand half...

Cranberry sauce?

“ Unless you become as little children, you can not enter the Kingdom of Heaven “ Unless we humble ourselves and recognise our powerlessness, weakness and nothingness, we do not have the disposition to enter The Kingdom. The way is narrow, only enough for a little child to pass through. “Humble...

He can not help himself.

“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” First we have be alone with God, generally this starts with a period of silence each day, a Sacred time dedicated to God alone. Have a fixed time. In as far as possible gently recognise Jesus present with you, because He is. Kneeling helps as it...

No, I’ve thoroughly looked into it mate, couldn’t find anything pagan in the Catholic teachings. What I did find out is that Catholicism is original and true Christianity. Save yourself the trouble and just trust me on this. I’ve looked into it. The Imitation of Christ is a very powerful...

Doesn’t say Roman at all. “Petilianus said: ‘If you declare that yon hold the Catholic Church, the word ‘catholic’ is merely the Greek equivalent for entire or whole. But it is clear that you are not in the whole, because you have gone aside into the part.’ Augustine answered: I too indeed have...

Not just heretical according to Catholics, but to the Orthodox, Coptic and all the ancient Apostolic Churches, East and West universally. That’s right, one of the signs of human tradition is it’s disharmony and division as time progresses. Protestantism devolved into many human founded...

I wasn’t recounting Scripture but Church history, all these breakaway human traditions are traditions of rebellious men, you can see when these traditions of men began. Easy to spot them many times because they are named after their human founders.

The original waldenses did believe in the real presence in the Eucharist, but the waldenses were a heretical human tradition founded by Peter Waldo and not part of Church. It was a tiny human founded sect. It was only as they later aligned with Protestantism that they began to adopt all the...

The interpretation and doctrine that Baptism and the Eucharist was merely symbolic was created by Ulrich Zwingli. All of Christianity from the beginning Universally held that Baptism was regenerational and given to infants, and that the Eucharist is the Flesh and Blood of Christ. Denying this...
