Saints are indeed fascinating people but I’m not sure they’re proof. There exists people in many religions who provide miracles and pay claim to a special degree of sanctity and faith.

Many people adhere to a faith but cannot claim a personal experience such as what you have had.

On the contrary, this is the heart of the topic. The Apostles taught that Jesus wants all humans to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the Truth. He pointed to Himself as that Truth, and established a Church to be the pillar and ground of that Truth. It is His desire that all persons become members of her, His Holy Bride.

Catechism of the Catholic Church:

“However, one cannot charge with the sin of the separation those who at present are born into these communities [that resulted from such separation] and in them are brought up in the faith of Christ, and the Catholic Church accepts them with respect and affection as brothers … All who have been justified by faith in Baptism are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians , and with good reason are accepted as brothers in the Lord by the children of the Catholic Church.”

“Friends (Quakers) do not practice water baptism”

It seems that this should close the question, from Alex337 own reference.

Catechism 1272 Incorporated into Christ by Baptism, the person baptized is configured to Christ. Baptism seals the Christian with the indelible spiritual mark (character) of his belonging to Christ. No sin can erase this mark, even if sin prevents Baptism from bearing the fruits of salvation.83 Given once for all, Baptism cannot be repeated.

Which one would you recommend?

lack of understanding and failure to listen to the voice of the Lord and putting you faith in human beings instead of relying on the Lord.

As you said, one can follow Scripture alone, so there is no need to put any faith in any human beings. Why is it that the human beings, all claiming to be following Scripture Alone, end up on opposite sides of the issues?

When two groups have a disagreement, they ought to leave it at that. We simply disagree.

You claim to be following Jesus, while denying the Scriptures are the inerrant written Word of God (obsessing over the fact that translations can be faulty, which we agree about), reject water Baptism, abstain from the Eucharist, and join a non Christian group.

It doesn’t benefit your case to repeat the same claim over and over again.

A Catholic priest has an obligation to admonish a Catholic who neglects to participate in Mass. There is no justification for what he has told you.

It’s not a matter of “I had a revelation, and so I’m an exception to Church Teaching”. Church Teaching is clear, and Catholics are not at liberty to support beliefs at odds with what She Teaches.

Yeah, I feel like I’m either debating a 17 year old or debating someone who hasn’t matured past adolescence.

I rest my case.

All while claiming some sort of academic superiority… as though there is a whole panel of educated officials supporting him/her.

That’s the interesting thing about Catholicism; even the loveliest of educated members can uphold Church Teaching more accurately than the learned.

Kinda reminds me of the Pharisees.
 
I’m actually surprised that the Protestants in this thread are supporting someone who rejects Scripture as the inerrant Word of God. And even a Lutheran, who should uphold a Eucharist of Real Presence. Martin Luther is rolling over! 🙂

I think it just goes to show the contempt for Catholic Teaching. Whoever is an enemy of the Church, is a friend.

I’m definitely seeing more of this blatant contempt for Church Teaching on CAF.

Again lack of understanding, and having their own evil agenda.

And so when men establish a new Communion with different teachings, and then others establish Communions with different teachings from them, and then others establish Communions with different teachings from them, and then others establish Communions with different teachings from them, and then others establish Communions with different teachings from them, and then others establish Communions with different teachings from them, etc… how does that demonstrate listening to the Lord?

They listen to themselves. None of it comes from God. At worst, it comes from the Devil.
 
Eventually, the Communions who are most open to various beliefs will win over the world.

I can believe this, I can believe that, I can pick and choose and define everything according to my private interpretation.

2 Peter 1:20
First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation
 
Lol…took the words right out of my mouth…I have applied it to all scripture…actually i think prophetic means to speak, or in this case write, for God.
