Nick,You're avoiding talking with me about the Bible. Why? Do you hate the Bible? (for all of those reading my posts for the first time…I am being facetious….Nick seems to think people that don't believe in Sola Scriptura hate the Bible)Answer me. What does this verse mean?”Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you…[Read more]

i.e. take the “roman” out of Catholic. I'm not a Roman Catholic.

The only problem with that is the title you chose. I refuse to post under that other title.Change the title of the other one to reflect objectivity like this one and I'd be glad to.Please respond before shutting this down.

WJ…? What say you?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 03 2009,07:54)Hi CA, Your foolish traditions do not contribute anything to the truth of God's word.I want everyone to hear what Nick just admitted. He apparently thinks that this verse is foolish:”Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle.” – 2…[Read more]

Is Catholicism Pagan?If few Fundamentalists know the history of their religion—which distressingly few do—even fewer have an appreciation of the history of the Catholic Church. They become easy prey for purveyors of fanciful “histories” that claim to account for the origin and advance of Catholicism.Anti-Catholics often suggest that Cat…[Read more]

Call No Man “Father”?Many Protestants claim that when Catholics address priests as “father,” they are engaging in an unbiblical practice that Jesus forbade: “Call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven” (Matt. 23:9).In his tract 10 Reasons Why I Am Not a Roman Catholic, Fundamentalist anti-Catholic writer Donald…[Read more]

Nick,OK, you said what you wanted to. Now I'm going to post this so it's not buried beneath your obvious need to post in between every person you can find. Moderating doesn't mean peanut gallery comments. It means you keep things civil and respectful between people. Unfortunately you are the most uncivilized among us many times.Anyway, here's…[Read more]

Some clarification needed. When I say “along with the Word of God” I should have more accurately said “including as” the Word of God.The Word of God is not just written.

So….what Oral Tradition are you keeping along with the Word of God? Come one, you all want to be Biblical…right?”Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle.” – 2 Thess. 2:15

Everyone should be clear. These are not my words, but someone I was responding to:”QuoteIf you want to wax philosophical then I can prove nothing but “I think therefore I am” and that everything beyond that is taken on faith.”

Quote If you want to wax philosophical then I can prove nothing but “I think therefore I am” and that everything beyond that is taken on faith.

Quote Making amends to men for your sins is a righteous action but it does not cover up your sins.Uh…yeah…that is what we're saying, Kerwin. You need to have your sins atoned for. This can't happen without the shed blood of Christ and His merits.But we're not talking about “covering up sins” or the “forgiveness of sins”

Quote You mean the above story? It looks to me like Zacchaeus intended to make amends to those humans he wronged and not to God. That is neither indulgences or penance.So you don't believe that when we sin, we hurt God by hurting others?Remember David's sin with Bathsheeba?Against Thee alone have I sinned and done what is evil in thy sight!God…[Read more]
