Catholic Questions

Oh yeah? Well lets see.

Stated multiple times through the thread that this refers to Christianity thorough 100 to 1500 years AD.
No. How your reading comprehension crashed down this far is unknown, however.
Doesn't matter within the context of the argument. I did not place any emphasis on whether the Orthodox church or the Catholic church was the true church, merely that Protestantism can't be true.

You're trying to concern troll me aren't you?

Catholics and Orthodoxs, correct me if I'm wrong; your doctrine teaches that how one becomes justified before God, they need to undergo a process of *sanctification -with the help of the sacraments/grace- until they are pleasing in the Lord's sight, then the person's worthy of being among the heavenly hosts.

*or energies

You stated throughout what one of the last things you said means? Do you have brain damage?
Well, considering you clarified by saying "What I meant to argue is that, if God had the intent to replace the authority of the Church with Sola Scriptura, then he would have given a sign to people that he was doing that", the answer is actually yes, just that it was painted in the sophistical way typical of Romanist apologetics. It's basically saying "if God didn't want us to be corrupt and wanted us to be as He commanded, then He would come down from heaven and say so"
I used the small o for a reason, champ. The point was your church has a false gospel and has had one for a long time now.
Also, go back and read my post real careful this time and see if you missed anything.
What do you think that means, user?

Eh, roughly?
Basically getting to Heaven is not a one-time thing but a process where you slowly rise up. Everything that can grow your faith can be used to progress in this process.


:^) No being rude.
(yeah not a argument, but seeing as I'm not able to extract a argument form "do you have brain damage" either, I don't believe I have a problem with that).
How do you get form X to Y here?

I believe I did yes, I am only pointing out reading inconsistencies in your posts.
There is no way to argue out this disjointed argument, even if you claim it to be contextually appropriate.

Wait I would like to continue form that I just got a good one.


For the entirely of this thread I have been pointing out that if the Catholic Church ever held orthodoxy, then it would still hold it to this day. Either it was or it wasn't. That's how the dogmas and canons it held work.
How can you fall for a trap so simple?

Church Fathers

Matthew 16:18

The Protestant church started in 1500 AD. Catholicism was mentioned for the first time in 101 AD by Ignatius of Antioch (the same place where the first Christians were). Catholicism therefore was founded by the first Christians.
One cannot go wrong believing Catholicism (Roman to be more exact) is the one true Church that Christ Himself established. (Orthodox are included).

Well given the fact that Judaism is an ethnoreligion to the point that you can't have mixed marriages in Israel (yes, really) and that the vast overwhelming majority of Jews reject Jesus Christ, I see no reason to find excuses for a tiny minority of Jews who larp as Jews after becoming Christian. They are an exception to the rule perhaps but only an idiot pretends that rules can be discarded due to exceptions.

If not for Jesus Christ's coming, this would actually have been a good and biblical law, mate.

Reading the bible made me convert from protestantism to Catholicism, particularly the parts where Christ appoints Peter as the Rock in Matthew 16:18, Christ says you must truly eat his flesh and blood to go to heaven, and this cannibalism scandalises most of his followers, Christ institutes the Eucharist and says this is my body at the last supper, and the apostles ordaining bishops, priests and deacons with the imposition of hands.

Then reading the church fathers who were disciples of the apostles confirms catholicism as true.

That's Catholic theology m8. The Church is the body of Christ. The Church militant on earth are a part of the body of Christ and is formed by all those who are baptised and profess the Catholic faith.
