WHO told you Mary is "dead"?? Scripture tells us that those in God's presence are ALIVE - even moreso that YOU are . . .

This is a ridiculously ignorant post. NONE of the men you names were Catholics in good standing. As a matter of fact - they were self-excommunicated for their atrocities. You really should do your homework . . .

Hmmmmmm, the term “Trinity” is never used in the Bible – yet it is THE central doctrine of Christianity. The term, “Incarnation” isn’t in the Bible either – yet is another foundational doctrine of Christianity. These were terms that were coined by the Church – because Christ gave SUPREME...

I’ve already addressed most of your points – but I will recap for the sake of being fair. First of all – the sacraments aren’t an “addition” to what Christ already did. They are PART of what He did. If you look at your life as a car – the sacraments are the gasoline that keeps the car...

First of all - you were perfectly charitable and pleasant. I didn't find any rudeness ion your post at all. As for the rest - It's purely Biblical teaching. When Christ was in Jerusalem and was rebuking the pharisees - he exclaimed: Matt. 23:37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets...

And I've given you PLENTY of Scripture that shows you are wrong. If you have a problem with it - take it up with God. He is the Author . . .

No – justification is NOT a permanent state unless we endure in cooperation with God’s grace. We have a free will aqnd can walk away from God – ANY time we want. The Scriptures are FULL of warnings for fully converted, born again Christians NOT to fall back into darkness and lose their security...

I can't argue with Scripture. I gave you the Biblical truth above. The Bible shows that this is a process . . .

And the Bible teaches us that salvation is a LIFELONG PROCESS – not a one-time, slam dunk event. The Scriptures assure us that we as Christians are ALREADY SAVED (Rom. 5:1, 8:24, Eph. 2:5–8) This is Initial Salvation – God give us the initial grace to believe. However, because Salvation is a...

Uh huh- but CHRISTIAN faith means . . . - Being baptized (Matt. 28:19-20, John 3:5, Rom. 2:29, Rom. 6:1-11, Col. 2:12-17, 1 Peter 3:21) - Picking up our cross daily to follow him (Matt. 16:24, Luke 9:23) - Works of mercy and charity (Matt. 19:21, 25:31–46, Luke 18:22) - Obeying his commandments...

No - He wasn’t joking because, once again – He backs it up elsewhere. In Matt. 23:9, Jesus says not to call any man “Father.” In the verse that precedes this (Matt: 23:8), Jesus tells us not to call people “Teachers”. Is Jesus telling us that we can’t call certain people "fathers" or...

We trust in Christ alone to save us. The difference between us and YOU is that WE trust in everything Christ and the Apostles taught and not just those things that WE choose to believe in. The Sacraments aren’t an “addition” to trusting in Christ – it’s what HE prescribes.

This is nonsense.

Thank you for that charitable post. Many people here can learn a thing or two about approaching others with different viewpoints in a charitable, Christian manner from you. As to what you said – I have to disagree because you seem to be misunderstanding the Catholic position. Nobody said that...

Uhhhhhh, wrong. The one who would be “drunk on the blood of the saints” is apostate Jerusalem, who was “in bed” with pagan Rome against the Early Church. This is why Isaiah says that the “faithful City“ had become a “harlot” (Isa. 1:21). STUDY your Bible . . .

Luke 1:17 states explicitly that John the Baptist was coming in the "Spirit and power of Elijah". - so neither one lied. Nice try . . .

WRONG. John 6:52 states explicitly that His followers were grumbling among themselves saying: “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” In verse 60, they said: “This saying is hard; who can accept it?” In verse 66, we are told that that many of His disciples LEFT him that day and returned...

You are confused. I never said that we “earn” God’s grace. That would be impossible. HOWEVER - we cooperate with God’s grace or it CANNOT work in us. Every gift requires a recipient. If a gift is refused – it cannot be given. John 6:40 indeed says that the Father’s will is for us to...

Uhhhhh, no. Moses was dead and buried centuries before the Transfiguration in Moab (Deut. 34:5),

No - once again: Comparing Himself to a Door and a Shepherd and a Vine is symbolism. Calling Himself the "Bread of Life" was quite literal. "This IS my Body." "This IS my Blood." Doesn't get much clearer than that . . .
