No. @Yeshua1 is a hit-and-run poster. I didn't expect an answer - but I always ask anyway . . . Thanks. Just tryin' to stamp out the dishonesty of anti-Catholicism along with you and others here.

That's not true. As I stated before - the 1st century document, The Didache (Teachings of the Twelve Apostles) instructed Christians to pray this specific prayer - THREE times a day. Unless you can present 1st century documentation that refutes this - you don't have a Scriptural or historical...

A better question would be: "Does Protestantism hold to the teachings of the New Covenant?" The answer is Yes and No. There is some truth in every Protestant denomination because ALL Christians believe in the atoning sacrifice of Christ, His Resurrection and that He is the only way to the...

I'm sure you'll agree - how could a prayer to God be a "vain repetition"?? 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 repetition”?? In Luke 18:13, the tax collector kept beating his breast and...

Where is the Scriptural mandate that everything we practice as Christians MUST be in Scripture? As @Walpole mentioned - the instruction to recite the Lord's Prayer is the 1st century document, The Didache (Teachings of the Twelve Apostles). Here's an interesting footnote about your "Sola...

Not trying to prolong an argument - but I guess it depends on what you consider "Protestantism" to be. Remember - the Dutch Reformed movement originated with Michaelis Jones (1628) - who came AFTER John Smythe. John Wesley started the Methodists in the 18th century (1738) and they are...

Jesus didn't support the 16th century invention of Sola Scriptura because it is one of the "traditions of men" that he condemned (Mark 7:8). Jesus understood that the Word of God came in TWO forms - the WRITTEN and the ORAL. Here are some Biblical examples that will put the matter to rest . ...

First of all - I didn't mean "You" in the definition of a Protestant. It was a general definition. I know you're Catholic. A "Protestant" by definition is a non-Catholic, non-Orthodox Christian. Secondly - I think you're wrong about Baptists NOT being Protestants for the reasons I listed...

WRONG. If you are a Christian and are NOT Catholic or Orthodox - you are by definition, a Protestant. Baptists ARE Protestants whose teachings go back to John Smyth in the 17th century. ALL Protestants "reject" the teachings of other Protestants - and Baptists are NO different. That's why...

Since you refuse to study history - name ONE SINGLE person "Rome" has killed. This should be easy for you . . .

You REALLY need to do your history homework. The fact that the STATE and NOT the Church was responsible for the executions of heretics has been explained to you ad nauseam - yet you cannot seem to grasp this fact. As @Walpole had amply explained to you - this was the case in PROTESTANT...

In order for YOU to demand that the evidence be found in "Scripture Alone" - YOU must be able to substantiate the man-made doctrine of Sola Scriptura. When you can do that - then we can have a conversation . . .

Ummmm, first of all - the Church isn't a "place". It's the Body of Christ - and He only established ONE (Matt. 18:18). He didn't establish tens of thousands of perpetually-splintering Protestant sects that ALL teach different doctrines yet ALL claim to have been "led" by the Holy Spirit to...

You can cite ANY Council you want - but it's not going to say what you WANT it to say. I've read just about EVERY document regarding Sunday worship - and virtually EVERY opinion YOU are trying to twist says the SAME thing: There is no Scriptural EDICT for mandating Sunday worship. That is ALL...

I realize that Catholic scholars are free to have their opinions. I also realize that they are NOT teaching infallibly when they HAVE those opinions. I know a few Catholic scholars who lost a Superbowl bet to me. Does that mean their teachings are wrong, too??

First of all - these are OPINIONS - not infallible teachings. Secondly - they simply speak to the fact that there is no Scriptural EDICT for mandating Sunday worship. For that matter - there is NO official Scriptural edict mandating a Canon of Scripture. This was declared by the Catholic...

The letters to the 7 Churches in Revelation were about the PEOPLE in those locations. It was ALL the same Church - just in 7 different locales. There is only ONE Church (Matt. 16:28, Eph. 4:5-6, 1 cor. 12). and that ONE Church has Christ's personal guarantee that it will NOT succumb to the...

Scripture amply answers your Sabbatarian objections to Sunday worship and your adherence to the Law. YOUR problem is that you adhere to the LAW instead of the FULFILLMENT of the Law, which is Christ. Col. 2:13-17 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh...

I haven't "butchered" anything. I take Paul's words at face value. HOWEVER - your comparison to the Sanhedrin and the Church is nonsense because you are forgetting the most important difference: Christ guaranteed that HIS Church would NOT succumb to the gates of Hell (Matt. 16:18). That...

As I showed your fellow Protestant @Yeshua1 - your claim that the Bible does NOT consider Sacred Tradition to be equal with Scripture is patently FALSE. 2 Thess 215 "Stand firm and hold fast to the Traditions you were taught, whether by an ORAL STATEMENT or by a letter from us." Here, Paul...
