Please show me where the Bible teaches this. Chapter and Verse, please. While you're at it - show me where the Bible calls fervent repetitious prayers "rote". Do you even understand what this word means?

First of all - I didn't use the term, "rote". I merely commented on @Van's incorrect use of the word term for ALL repetitious prayer. As for what I "get out" of the Lord's Prayer - as Catholics, we are not just taught "mechanical" prayers. We are taught to meditate on the words and on the...

What is "Rote" about repetitious prayer?? You are implying that a person cannot pray repetitiously without it being "mechanical" or "robotic" - which is absolutely FALSE. I have presented several Biblical examples to support the Catholic position. YOU, on the other hand have NOT refuted a...

Yes - you keep repeating this mantra - but have failed to produce any actual evidence . . .

From the VERY document that YOU claim to be our "sole" Authority. The same document that assures us that Christ's CHURCH is our final earthly Authority (Matt. 16:18-19, Matt. 18:15-18, Luke 10:16, John 16:12-15, John 20:21-23). the Bible backs up everything the Church teaches. The Church...

And the Catholic Church has an UNBROKEN line of Apostolic Succession going ALL the way back to the Apostles. Eminent Protestant historian J.N.D. Kelly attests to this in his book, Oxford Dictionary of Popes - as does Protestant historian Ken Samples in his treatise, What Think Ye of Rome?

Sure - but He wasn't talking anything he wrote down. He was talking about the words that His CHURCH speaks. He said: Luke 10:16 Whoever listens to YOU listens to ME. Whoever rejects YOU rejects ME. And whoever rejects ME rejects the ONE who sent ME." NOTHING about anything written . . .

As I stated before - in fact MULTIPLE times - Scripture IS authoritative. It is simply not our "Sole" Authority and never claims to be. However, even with a Bible - there can be NO genuine Christianity without the Body of Christ, the CHURCH. Without the Church - it's just a collection of Books...

Chapter and Verse, please. If you can't show me where - then you have failed again . . .

FALSE on both counts. Go back and read post #24, where I laid out the Biblical refutation for this nonsense. Here it is again for your edification: In Matt. 26:44, our Lord himself prayed the exact same prayer three times in the Garden of Gethsemane after the Last Supper. Was this a “vain...

And as @Walpole has already pointed out - NOWHERE does it say "Readeth the writtenith Wordeth". It says "HEARETH YOU". You have failed in post after post after post to prove Sola Scriptura from Scripture. In a court of law - your case would have been thrown out after the first failure . . .

Like I said - YOU have yet to prove otherwise. I have given you multiple chances to prove Sola Scriptura from Scripture - and you have failed . . .

Trust me - I have read VOLUMES of anti-Catholic materials from SDA sources - as well as your bizarre and unbiblical beliefs. Your false prophetess/founder Ellen White was the unmitigated QUEEN of anti-Catholics.

And YOUR lack of proof certainly doesn't bolster your position. Why is it that you are unable to prove Sola Scriptura from Scripture?? Maybe because it's a FALSE doctrine, perhaps??

Yes, it IS the same word in the Greek - but NOT the same meaning. A word can mean MORE than one thing, as in this case. We have the same kinds of words in English - they're called "homonyms". For example, "Bark" can mean the sound a dog makes - or the "outer layer" of a tree. The same is...

And a nearly 3-hour anti-Catholic waste of time . . .

And NOBODY is placing the Church "above" the Word of God. That is simply another anti-Catholic lie. God's Word IS Authoritative. However - the written Word is NOT our "sole" Authority - NOR does it claim to be. The written Word states emphatically that the Church is our FINAL earthly...

I understand fully that James was telling his readers that belief is NOT faith. Belief is merely ONE component of faith - of which works/obedience is the other. His conclusion is that there is NO faith without works - even if you "believe." Paul also drives this point home in 1 Cor 13:1-13...

WRONG. I have refuted it several times using Scripture itself. What YOU have failed to do is prove that Scripture is our "sole" Authority. I have given you every opportunity to do so to NO avail . . .

Nope. Protestants are "genuine" Christians because they have professed Christ and have been Baptized. They are, however, self-separated from the ONE Church built by Christ and in need of return.
