What I posted is true, because these are teachings of Christ preserved through the ages. Unfortunately, those so far away from the truth can no longer recognize it. Please come to the truth, and see. It’s wonderful. You deserve to be set free from the ignorance which currently has you in a fog.
The good news or the gospel is that Jesus Christ came to redeem and to save us from our sins. This is the good news we are to bring to all non believers in doing so we are partaking in the ministry of reconcilliation. Reconcilling a sinner to God. In doing so we declare that God has forgiven them their sins when they confess Jesus as Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead.
No, it’s the sad truth which accurately describes reality. The beautiful thing is that God built His one Church, which we have to teach truth. The man made churches have no real way of knowing what they’re teaching is truth or falsehood. The proof is that they will mix these up on a regular basis, as you have done.
The final cup of the passover. In other words, the passover started the night before was now completed.
Please understand what was said, as it is very important. What was said is that Catholicism is the fullness of Christianity. The fullness of Christ’s Church subsists only in the Catholic Church. The man made churches have bits and pieces of the truth of Catholicism, but these “churches” also teach error and are deprived of five of Christ’s Sacraments. Notice that I said nothing about the adherents, as that’s a completely different discussion. It is the teachings and the Sacraments, the Magisterium, Godly Tradition, and Scriptures authored by the Catholic Church. You have to be Baptized to be a Christian, that is initiated into the Church.
Christ is the Truth. This is different that what you’ve posted, which is more often not the truth, that is not a description of the reality of Christ’s teachings nor of His Church.
No, the self described “Bible Christians” live their lives based on someone’s interpretations of the Bible. I have never seen one that is accurate without error. What is sad, is that these people think they understand the word of God, when in reality it is a distortion of His word through their misguided interpretations.
I did. I must ask if you understood what I said about sin. You have to put your thinking cap on, because this is a new understanding for you. I think you can understand, but from what you write, my post would be very foreign to you and very different from what you “know” about the Sacrament of Reconciliation in the Catholic Church, which is what Christ established with His instruction to the Apostles.
No. Jesus gave His Apostles authority. These Apostles passed this down to the succeeding Bishops in the Church, who ordained Priests. These people have Apostolic Succession and can affect the Sacraments, with the authority to forgive sin. It is actually Christ, the High Priest who forgives sin.
The “churches” which were born after the Reformation for instance definitely do not have ministry to perform reconciliation. The reason is that they are deprived of Apostolic Succession, which is how the authority was transferred from the Apostles to succeeding Bishops, and on down the line until today. The post Reformation “churches” for instance only have two valid Sacraments, that of Baptism and Marriage. These two Sacraments don’t require a ministerial priest. The remaining five other Sacraments are not valid in the post Reformation “churches” as these require ministerial priesthood, which requires that there be validly ordained Bishops.
God bless you. I am so happy when the Holy Spirit leads God’s children to the Church. Those already formally in the Church also may need to have blinders removed as well, due to poor catechesis and outside influences which can cloud understandings. We know that the Church is not just for me and you, but for all of us. I believe you also want, as I do, for everyone to see the beauty of God’s Church, and have available all the tools of salvation, including the Most Blessed Sacrament. I want all to be able to have a closer walk with Christ, which can be done when the blinders come off and the revealed truth is seen more clearly.
No. That’s not how the Apostles taught. The washing away of original sin is done in Baptism by water and the Spirit. After that, remission of sin is through valid sacrament in God’s Catholic Church or by perfect contrition (which is by comparison, very difficult). However, you have no right to reject what Christ established.
There seems to be a double-standard in your accusation when you accuse the Catholic Church of using a pagan holiday to celebrate Easter, and you celebrate the same dates as Catholics do.
Yes, you are correct. But that teaching must be passed on the same way that God passed it on. through someone with authority. That is why we have holy orders to do that. If not we would be just like you, and think we know more than the church.
It is calledThis is so true. They don’t realize that they don’t adhere to Sola Scriptura, but rather Sola “what their Pastor says” (Sorry, don’t know thw latin for that last part!!)
One has to continue asking others questions, as some answer questions with questions. Others prefer personal attacks, for which I will report the offending post in violation of the forum rules. At this time, I’ll remind you we are to discuss topics and not individuals personally.
I believe Peter and Paul honored Mary. Do you know of anything they wrote to indicate they did not?
