I told my Baptist friend that the Catholic Church is the most Biblical church. I asked him why he didn’t fallow some Bible passages I e-mailed him after he told me the Church doesn’t fallow the correct Ten Commandments and he didn’t answer.

If we were to number every “command” in those sections of the Bible we would have about 17 commandments or more. So different efforts have been made to number and group them over the centuries.
The Ten Commandments
newadvent.org/cathen/04153a.htm
Ezechiel 46 3 And the people of the land shall adore at the door of that gate before the Lord on the sabbaths, and on the new moons

Isa 66:23 - And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
 
I say the Catholic Church because it has the Fullness of Truth…

i’m not sure everyone would say that. if you want to say that the RCC has the “fullness of truth” that’s fine, but to say it’s more “biblical” isn’t exactly accurate since one of the arguments for the church is that you don’t rely totally on the bible. so, if a church is more “biblical” (which i take to mean biblically based, whether you agree or disagree with their interpretation, they still are basing their church on what they think the bible says) they will be based totally on the bible. by that standard, i would say most of the non-denoms would fit the bill.

Not bible base but biblical. The Catholic Church is the fullness because it has both the Bible as written Tradition and Oral Tradition as well. That stance is indeed more Biblical than Bible only.

The Bible tells us to value Tradition so if a church makes it a point to remove Tradition it becomes less Biblical! Correct? If it attacks the Catholic Church for it’s Tradition(and thinks all our Tridition is unbiblical)then it attacking the Bible. Correct?

Not really with varies 33,000 denomination which have varies interpretation of the Bible… I hardly think they are truly Biblical in a literal sense.

Most Non-Denoms don’t even have weekly communion. If it were truly Biblical, they would do what they did in Acts.

I went to a Non-Denom, and there weren’t any communion on Sunday. It was all Scripture Reading, Speaking in Tongues, and alter calls. Something that wasn’t practice even in the written record in the Bible…
 
The Catholic Church is not the Book but the religion of the Word of God, a word which is not written and mute word, but the Word which is incarnate and living.

With that in mind, Catholics firmly believe that the Word of God is Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and Magisterial Authority.

So scripture reading, speaking in tongues, and alter calls(defined loosely as an opportunity after someone has spoken the gospel to become a Christian) are not in the Bible? Is that what you are contending?

13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius;

1 Corinthians 14:28 But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church, and speak to himself and to God.

1 Corinthians 11:26 For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come. 27 Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.

Act 9:6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

Act 9:16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake. Act 9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

Act 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. Act 9:19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

Random scripture generator gone amuck…or am I missing something?

So would you say the answer contends that scripture reading, speaking in tongues, and the concept of altar calls are not in scripture? What does one make of the scriptures that do not appear germaine?

My question deals directly with the statement made by Manny and seeks clarification as to whether he claims these three things are not found in scripture, or if perhaps he means just the latter, altar calls is not. As far as the process by which one enters the Catholic Church, I am curious as to which of my statements would indicate I am unfamiliar or needing to “research” the topic.

Scriptural readings are quite germaine. It is done each and every time a Catholic Mass is said.

Speaking in tongues…is a very questionable practice. Impossible to validate, and has no precedence to my knowledge in the Bible, other than the misquoted, or rather out of context interpretation of what occurred at the tower of Babel. Alter calls, there is really no precedence for them either.

The quoted scriptures are germaine. 🙂

Probably so that you could understand his “context” or viewpoint. 🙂
