You're jumping ahead. YOU brought up "faith alone" so the onus is on YOU to prove it. I will present proof for Purgatory when we get passed Sola Fide . . .

"Rejected"?? OR, simply doesn't define it the way YOU do? I already explained that the Catholic Church teaches that justification is by faith.

Really? Which of the tens of thousands of Protestant versions of the Gospel do YOU hold to??

As a Sola Scripturist - would you mind showing me where the BIBLE says that we're saved by faith "alone"?? Chapter and Verse, please . . .

Why would you ask me that - when we were discussing Scripture and Tradition?? Besides - I already answered that question for you in another thread this morning.

This is PRECISELY the problem. When you have 100 different pastors with 100 different interpretations of a verse - you will get 100 different variations of doctrine. Do you believe that they are ALL led by the Holy Spirit to this confusion?? OR, do you believe in the words of Christ, who said...

I'll answer that when you stop running an finally answer MY question: YOU admitted that your Protestant Father taught error regarding Mary. HOW could the pillar and foundation of truth and the fullness of Christ teach error??

I hold as Christ's Church has always taught: That we are justified by faith. HOWEVER - "Faith" must be properly understood. Faith is NOT simply belief. James 2:19 assures us that even the DEMONS believe in the truths about God - but are not justified. James goes on to describe what REAL faith...

Soooooo, Sola Scripturists like YOU demand Scriptural evidence for everything. Yet, when a Catholic uses Scripture to prove a doctrine - it's not "good enough". Can YOU say, "Hypocrisy"??

I made a case for the Authority of Tradition in post #8. If you don't feel up to the task - simply admit it so we can move on . . . Here it is again: 2 Thess 2:15 "Stand firm and hold fast to the Traditions you were taught, either by by an ORAL STATEMENT or by a letter from us." Here, Paul is...

Then, how about telling me where I am wrong?

Talk about a hit-and-run post. Since you made this claim - how about PROVING me wrong?

Why do you keep dodging the issue?? We already went over this. Back in #33, YOU stated: "The reformers never held mary in same regard as Rome did!" I proved you wrong about that by showing you their quotes about Mary. THEN you, a Sola Scripturist, made the following claim: "ALL except for the...

Since you're a Sola Scripturist - can you show me where Scripture makes this claim?? If your church teaches ONE false teaching - then it is a FALSE church. If your Protestant Fathers taught ONE false teaching - then they were FALSE teachers.

If your Protestant Fathers were "wrong" about ANYTHING - then they are false teachers. That's my whole point. Why would you follow a FALSE teacher?

So - they were FALSE teachers. Why would you follow a FALSE teacher when Matt. 7:15-20 warns us NOT to??

Sooooo, which one of your Protestant sects IS the true Church? It can't be ALL of them because they all teach different doctrines.

In other words - you have NO answer. That's what I thought . . .

AGAIN - you didn't address the issue. I asked you - How can you follow the teachings of men who you have later "proven" to be wrong?? If they were wrong about Mary, they are FALSE teachers according to Matt. 7:15-20. As for following the Scriptures only - the Bible NEVER tells us to do this...

And those who actually know their Bible would say that your statement renders Jesus a LIAR, because He assured his Apostles: Matt. 16:18 “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood* has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. 18 k And so I say to you, you are Peter, and...
