From the Catholic perspective you suffered loss, the loss of the sacraments of the Eucharist and Confession amongst other things.

You are separated brethren. You did not cause the original rebellion against Christs Church, you are a victim of it.

Salvation is a path not just a moment and the way is narrow. There is a moment you find the path, but then you must follow it. People selling you once off easy salvation are the broad path. Faith must be working through love to be salvific . Dead faith by itself cannot save, even if it can...

The original heretics are in a different category, because they had the truth and obstinately rejected it. Those that came after are separated brethren.

Yes, where there is life there is always hope for anyone. Ultimately Jesus is Judge, no one else has the right to judge anyone’s salvation. Jesus warns about this when He says “Judge not lest yea be Judged “. Judgement is between the soul and God. However, people can point out dangers. Now...

It’s about manning up is it? How about reading up on Church history and Fathers. Every Bible aloner as different start dates of the Catholic Church, all without historical evidence, all just narrative. Bible aloners don’t seem to even know where the bible came from mostly. You have been fed...

You have this airy story, but where is your historical evidence mate? Every Bible aloner has this kind of flimsy narrative about the early church, it may sell well to Sunday schoolers, but not to people who have studied patristics and Church history. Ever stopped to think the Apostolic...

The Apostolic Fathers aren’t wrong, they knew the Apostles personally working with them and learning from them. Who would know more about correct doctrine and interpretation than men who learned directly from the Apostles? These were trained and appointed Bishops by the Apostles to head the...

If you think Luther was inspired, why aren’t you Lutheran. If his new idea of sola scriptura was inspired and true and Luther was right, everyone would be Lutheran on reading the bible, despite human weakness. The idea being that all you need is the Bible and The Holy Spirit will interpret it...

Luther was not a godly man. The more one reads of him the more you realise that there is no way he was guided by God. He was about as guided by God as Muhammad was.

Something went bad wrong in the 1500s more like it. This is when packs of wolves showed up. Each interpreting their own human doctrines from scripture. It was the explosive specification of error, each in conflict with the other. The early church looked nothing like any of them.

You haven’t given any facts or quoted any contemporaries of early church history You just have prejudiced narrative with nothing behind it. Zero calorie. Yours is the Fiction. I quoted you actual historical evidence from Apostolic Fathers.

Well you know better than the disciples and successors of the Apostles. “And thus preaching through countries and cities, they appointed the first-fruits [of their labours], having first proved them by the Spirit, to be bishops and deacons of those who should afterwards believe. Nor was this...

Notice Ignatius is writing to different Churches as well. Ignatius was the Bishop of Antioch writing to the Smyrneans telling them that…. “Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” The bishop of Smyrna...

Not so. Look at what this disciple of John says, who incidentally is Bishop of Antioch. “For what is the bishop but one who beyond all others possesses all power and authority, so far as it is possible for a man to possess it, who according to his ability has been made an imitator of the Christ...

It’s not subjective, only Catholics existed in Apostolic times, that’s how we preserved the scriptures and assembled the first canon of scripture. No bible aloners existed before the bible. Only Catholics, which is easily proven. No, the Fathers consistently passed on the apostles tradition...

Apostolic Tradition is the Spoken Word of God explaining the Written word of God. “Hold to the traditions we taught you by word of our mouth or by letter “ Are you holding to the Oral traditions of the apostles as well, or only their written traditions. If you are only holding to the...

“He writes this way in all his letters, speaking in them about such matters. Some parts of his letters are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.” 2 Peter 3:16 Those ignorant of Apostolic oral traditions...

No you don’t believe God’s Word Alone, you believe in Scripture Alone, which ironically isn’t taught by scripture. Catholics are Word of God Alone, because we hold to all of it, The Spoken Word of God and the Written Word of God together. “ Hold to the traditions we taught you by word of our...

There is a difference between prescriptive obligations and inculturation. See this is the problem with bible alonism, it is each reconstructing their Christian religions from scripture alone. Which is not how and what Christianity was founded on. Psychologically everything is possibly...
