No, read again. “has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.“ Jesus saves through the disciples. “Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and...

When people are healed they will many times laugh or at least giggle, and also when they hear the Gospel for the very first time. This can not be helped, and can not be suppressed because it comes from deep within the heart. Just as the heart is open to receive The Holy Spirit, the heart is open...

Paul wasn’t even saved directly by Jesus. 17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”18...

You aren’t appealing to scripture, you are appealing to your interpretation of scripture. The light bulb moment hasn’t happened for you yet. Everyone in Bible alonism says they appeal to scripture, yet are only appealing to their interpretation of scripture. Trapped in the circular insanity...

You are deceived.

So only you are guided by The Holy Spirit to understand scripture, and the Great Councils and Fathers of the Church are not guided, the ones that determined the Bible in the first place. You have placed yourself on the highest pedestal of all, you hold yourself up as an Oracle of God.

How do you know?

That’s right, it’s a race to the finish, of perseverance of remaining in Christ. This is the true Apostolic understanding of scripture. It takes intellectual honesty, a great love of the Truth and Grace to see it and follow it.

“ Seeing, too, that all flesh is nourished by what is moist (for without this combination our earthly part would not continue to live), just as we support by food which is firm and solid the solid part of our body, in like manner we supplement the moist part from the kindred element; and this...

The Catholic Eucharistic practice is to add water to the wine. Clement explains this. “the Spirit being the energetic principle of the Word, as blood is of flesh. Accordingly, as wine is blended with water, so is the Spirit with man. And the one, the mixture of wine and water, nourishes to...

What? You would have heard the whole bible read to you over 3 years if you showed up to mass each day. You obviously weren’t an informed Catholic, there is strong encouragement to read scripture as part of your daily prayer life. Because you weren’t informed, it left you vulnerable to human...

Not their opinions either, their understanding of scripture is Apostolic teaching handed down. Your understanding of scripture is human tradition based on human opinion. The Fathers simply maintained the Apostolic understanding of scripture.

Honestly mate, no reasonable reading of the Fathers yields Protestant or Baptist theologies. If you venture in there with those mindsets, the Early Church Fathers will bite your whiskers off, as I have already demonstrated.

Not only do we see a butchering of the scripture, but they would even butcher the Fathers in their titanic need to be right. I don’t know if it’s the contestation that is imbued by the legalistic approach which Protestantism generally takes, but that would savor shallow if they won the case in...

I have shown your quotes of the Fathers were out of context. Anyone can see that Church Fathers were Catholic.

These guys are the reason you have the word of God, and you need to take particular note that they quote the word of God most often, but not with your interpretations of it.

I don’t know what distortions of history you are filling your head with mate, it just seems like you are running a narrative without evidence here.

There is plenty of symbolism, this is not a point I contest. The Manna as a foreshadowing The foreshadowing of Baptism in the Old Testament, Noah’s flood etc Many realities are accompanied by symbolism. Catholics aren’t the ones lifting out of context. The Fathers are Catholic patrimony as...

“And besides, also, one only Catholic and Apostolic Church, which can never be destroyed, though all the world should seek to make war with it; but it is victorious over every most impious revolt of the heretics who rise up against it. For her Goodman hath confirmed our minds by saying, ‘Be of...

The first thing I notice, a part from the fact that this is the first time I think I’ve seen you attempt to quote the Church Fathers. Is that you didn’t give the accompanying references to those quotes. I’m not assigning deliberate deceitfulness on your part, but if you give the references as...
