They were DEAD. Their bodies were lifeless and brought back to life - and therein lie the miracles.

I don't read links. YOU tell me where the Catholic Church "denies" Biblical justification.

WRONG. John 11:43-44 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The DEAD MAN came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Lazarus was DEAD when Jesus spoke to him. Acts 9:40 Peter sent them all out of the room; then...

You keep making this claim yet you FAIL every time at pointing out where we "deny" it . . .

WRONG. The Catholic Church is monolithic. Those radicals - whether they be radical "Traditionalists" or radical Feminists are DISSIDENTS and therefore, Protestants. Protestants aren't Catholics.

Ummmm, HOW so? Besides - you left out the most important part of ALL: God's grace.

EVERY year on forums like this we have to deal with these idiotic, revisionist versions of the "history" of Easter. The MOST idiotic is the whole "Ishtar" nonsense that you brought up. From a purely linguistic standpoint - it is preposterous. First of all - English is a fairly NEW language...

Yup - to the tune of tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering Protestant sects that ALL teach different doctrines and ALL claim that they were "led" by the Holy Spirit to their personal interpretations of Scripture.

And YOU would have us believe that God has to "rape" us in order to gain our love. The God of Scripture gives US that choice - otherwise it's not love at ALL. God gives us the grace to believe to climb into the boat. He doesn't drag us into the boat, kicking and screaming against our will...

And you Fundies can't seem to get a grip on the Biblical definition of "necromancy" . . .

WRONG. James is talking about our justification before God. That's why he states that even the DEMONS believe (James 2:19) - but they don't have faith (belief + Works). STUDY your Bible - don't just read it . . .

HOW so? I just showed you that it is completely Scriptural.

The Mass is taken right out of Scripture: Rev. 1:10 speaks of the heavenly liturgy being celebrated on the Lord's day. Catholics are obliged to attend mass on Sunday (the Lord’s Day). Rev. 1:12, 2:5 speaks of lampstands or “Menorahs” in heaven. They are also used in the mass here on earth...

WRONG. I'll use the "boat" analogy again to prove my point . . . You are adrift at sea and a man in a boat comes along and saves you. YOU climbed into the boat - but HE still saved you. The man has given you the means to stay safe and dry until you reach land. However, YOU choose whether or...

WRONG. Jesus spoke to Lazarus when he was DEAD. Peter spoke to Tabitha when she was DEAD. If necromancy is simply "speaking to" the dead - then they are BOTH guilty . . .

Then show me the Scriptural verse that states this. Your Protestant Father, Martin Luther had to ADD the word "alone" to Rom. 3:28 in his German Translation. In fact - the ONLY place in ALL of Scripture where the words "Faith alone" appear together is in James 2:24, where it explicitly states...

No - Jesus and His Apostles studied from the Septuagint, which had 46 Books in it. A Jewish Rabbinical school removed 7 of these Books and portions of Esther and Daniel in the early 2nd century. I've already explained all of this. YOUR Protestant OT Canon approved by Luther is the one that was...

His grace is received by us through our cooperation with it - NOT our rejection of it.

The Canon of Scripture that was declared by the Catholic Church at the Council of Rome in 382 contained SEVENTY-TWO Books. It wasn't until the 16th century at the Protestant Revolt that Luther and his cronies tossed out the Seven Deuterocanonical Books, that were ejected by Rabbi Akiva in the...

Can you show me a verse that says Paul was "more important" than Peter??
