Wow, this is where the forum gets interesting, I really like the part when the SDA’s use scripture to victimize themselves or to satisfy their self- righteousness, not that there aren’t catholics who are self- righteous but commin from the SDA is where I find it interesting.

Aren’t you bothered that the Roman Catholic church isn’t attacked? The Pope and catholics are well loved, there is no persercution of catholics is there?

Jesus said woe to you when people speak well of you.

The SDA is the remnant of God’s true church on earth. We expect to be attacked left, right and centre. We are the only real threat to Satan on this planet.
 
“The Pope takes the place of Jesus Christ on earth…by divine right the Pope has supreme and full power in faith, in morals over each and every pastor and his flock. He is the true vicar, the head of the entire church, the father and teacher of all Christians. He is the infallible ruler, the founder of dogmas, the author of and the judge of councils; the universal ruler of truth, the arbiter of the world, the supreme judge of heaven and earth, the judge of all, being judged by no one, God himself on earth.” Quoted in the New York Catechism.
Can you tell me where I can get a copy of the “New York Catechism”, because I have yet to find a single printed copy of this reference, yet I have seen this quote thrown around by more than one anti-Catholic distortionist (which leads me to my next point, we are attacked constantly as Catholics, both from the inside as well as the outside, usually with complete lies and fabrications such as this quote you provide from the infamous New York Catechism). All of this “evidence” you offer in the way of quotes is meaningless. “Proof-text, without context, is simply pretext” my friend, and when you provide a fabricated quote, from a made up source, then you have lost any hope of credibility in my eyes. I have no problem with dialogue, but I will not converse with someone who refuses to speak in verifiable fact, choosing instead to use lies and fabrications to further a personal agenda.

back to our regularly scheduled debate, kids…
 
The Pope is right called the Servant of Servants of God. His highest title.

The Roman Catholic Church has been constantly attack, your church is gulity for attacking the RCC many times, if you think Catholics have never been persecuted or attacked or bashed, then you really need to open not only your phsyical eyes but your spiritual eyes. and far as the SDA being the remnant church that is a matter of opinion or in some cases self- deluded.

Now I have been attacked by alot of Advenitst, even by the adventist who seem to be the most loving and godly people and yet after they speak of nonsense after they realizing I am a catholic, they sugar code it with scripture and their “loving and godly” attitude. anyway I won’t get into much detail even though I have tonz and tonz of stories about my encounters with adventist.

My opinion after studying Seventh - day adventism doctrine, beliefs traditions, going to their sabbath schools at 9:00 am and then starting their church service and 10:15am, and seeing how they make a distinction between tithe and offering saying tithe is required to go to their church, sorry I guess I should stop, I can talk about this for hours. it really is obvious to me that the SDA church is a very I would like to say backwards version of Christianity. I remember an adventist have told me " we seventh day adventists and the world wide church i guess, alot of times we think we’re going forward but we end up going the opposite direction". So in conclusion even there I have more and tonz of stuff to say, the SDA church is NOT God’s remnant church.

The SDA church is the only church that fits the remnant church of Revelation 12. We base our teaching on the Bible only.

the SDA is not the remnant church. and you guys base your teaching and understanding of the bible through the interpretation of Ellen G white. Even the Seventh-day adventist who has never even heard of Ellen G white still seems to have similiar understandings of the bible as EGW. but I suppose it’s really difficult to seperate the SDA from Ellen G White kinda like it’s much more difficult for an adventist to miss saturday sabbath then to have an abortion. I find it quite interesting that alot of these weird ( for lack of a better word) seem have always have their little prophets or in this case prophetess

You got it the wrong way round. Ellen G White’s writings points us back to the Bible. Her books don’t contain anything that adds to the Bible. Infact they are separate from the Bible. There were plenty of prophets in the OT that did not write any Scripture. Nathan and Gad for example and Philip’s daughters were all prophets but didn’t write a part of the Bible.

We don’t base our belifs on White’s writings but on the Bible.

I’m sorry that’s too funny. Ellen White contraditcts the Bible so often it’s unreal.
As and SDA I was taught that Eve was alone when she was tempted by the serpant, that Noah didn’t eat unclean meat, that the Tower of Bable was built to escape another flood, and that’s just in Genesis.

Genesis 3:6, Genesis 9:3 and Genesis 11:4 contradict these things.

I predict a long, sustained silence from daro2096 on this question. I just did a fair amount of googling on this topic and this book does not seem to exist. Funny that every anti-Catholic cites this book with no page # (BTW, a citation requires a p(name removed by moderator)oint; you have to tell the reader exactly where in the work to find the quote) and it seems like NO ONE can find a physical copy of it. Plus, it is always the same two quotes cited over and over and over on the Internet: “The Pope takes the place of Jesus Christ on earth…” and “I must tell my sins to the priest…” Wouldn’t you think a book that’s as voluminous sounding as a Catechism would have more than two quotes from it across the entire Internet?

It sounds like no one can find this thing. No ISBN. Nothing in the Library of Congress. Hmm, you’d think a book supposedly representing the official doctrine of the Catholic Church wouldn’t be so hard for Catholics to locate. :rolleyes:

How about it Daro? Where can we see a copy of this alleged Catholic source? If it says what you say it says, I’m ready to concede you’ve got us on this one. Because I, like all Catholics, am pretty horrified by that quote. In fact, it’s totally repugnant to my faith. So, show me where my church teaches that and I’d be happy to consider the possibility that I’m in the wrong church.

I suppose your right, Ellen G White does point the seventh day adventist back to the bible from her interpretation.

18. The Gift of Prophecy:
One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is prophecy. This gift is an identifying mark of the remnant church and was manifested in the ministry of Ellen. G. White . As the Lord’s messenger, her writings are a continuing and authoritative source of truth which provide for the church comfort, guidance, instruction, and correction. They also make clear that the Bible is the standard by which all teaching and experience must be tested.


her seperate books are used to Help the seventh day adventist to understand the bible in the eyes of Ellen G white which is where the SDA’s teachings are based on. so her “helpful books” or teachings is as equal to the bible in the SDA church.

but if you are gonna say Ellen G white is equal to the prophets of the old testament, then I guess I should keep an eye out for someone to have:

Brain weakened
Cancerous tumors
Catarrh
Dropsy
Eye-sight weakened
Headache
Head decay
Insanity
Kidney disease
Liver disease
Lung disease
Memory loss
Nervous system damage
Neuralgia
Pains in the system
Premature death
Rheumatism
Spinal weakness/problems

from Masterbation (something EGW claimed the LORD has shown her)

Noah knew about the clean and unclean meats laws.

Why would God tell Noah to take 2 of every unclean and 7 of the clean?

Is it possible that is an misunderstanding of what the title “Vicar of Christ” means?
 
Not even close. That’s the actual Catechism of the Catholic Church (well, the compact version). We all have that book (either the compact or full one).

If this is the book you’re citing to, please go ahead tell us what where to find your quote within it. Every paragraph in the catechism has a specific citation # (e.g. CCC 651), making it very easy to cite to our actual beliefs. Give us that or a page # and we should be able to find your quote very quickly! Surely you don’t expect us to read every single page of that book looking for your one quote…
 
The early Christian church kept the 7th day sabbath for the first 300 years of its history.
This is untrue. St Ignatius if Antioch, writing around the year 110, wrote “[T]hose who were brought up in the ancient order of things * have come to the possession of a new hope, no longer observing the Sabbath, but living in the observance of the Lord’s day, on which also our life has sprung up again by him and by his death” (Letter to the Magnesians 8 [A.D. 110]).
St Justin Martyr and othersalso wrote that Christians worshipped on Sunday. So, the SDA claim that Constanine changed the day of worship is a lie.
Also, why would Christians, who willingly endured martyrdom rather than compromise their faith one iota, suddenly say “Okey-dokey” when ordered to change the day they worshipped?*

Why would God tell Noah to take 2 of every unclean and 7 of the clean?
Genesis 9:3
Every creature that is alive shall be yours to eat; I give them all to you as I did the green plants.
Yes he knew about clean and unclean meats probably for sacrificial purposes. You would have to have more of the sacraficial animals. But here it says specificlly that they were to eat all meat. Every creature that is alive. There is nothing to indicate that the dietary restrictions given to Israel were prestent at the time of Noah.

Agreed.

Noah only sacrificed “clean animals” (Gen 8:20). They alone were worthy for use in cultic sacrifices. By contrast, Noah was allowed to eat of any animal he so pleased:
The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything. (Gen 9:2-3)
Adventist claim Noah could only eat clean animals. This contradicts the Bible, which says Noah could eat “everything.” Could the Adventists tell me where the Bible says Noah could not eat everything, but only the “clean” animals?
