You know what gets me most of all about CARM? It’s so anti-Catholic. Sure I razz Catholics here, but for me, I’m a bit of the mentality “I can say whatever I like about my family, but don’t you dare say anything bad about them.”
I’m leaving the decision of who goes where to Christ. He is the one that will make the decision anyway. What are these people going to say if and when Christ disagrees with them? It is a very serious matter when we think that we have the right and the authority to make that type of decision.
But didn’t you hear that the Holy Spirit came to each one of them individually and told them exactly what they should believe?
Haha well I like how almost every member here at CAF will at least try to weigh your views and then comment on them. There are certainly places outside of the CAF walls that you might as well be arguing with a billboard that’s just going to repeat the same thing back no matter what…
Well, yes, a lot of Calvinists do resemble that description. But it isn’t limited to Calvinists.
No, I just usually go to the site for the comedy value
. Matt Slick’s apologetics are hilariously poor. Unlike James White, who is quite an accomplished opponent of the Catholic Church, Matt Slick’s over-dramatic approach and shallow objections make for a poor, if somewhat entertaining, body of apologetic thought.1 They teach and practice idolatry.
2 They have changed the gospel of Jesus Christ.
3 They invented a make believe place called purgatory to make money.
4. They have given a sinful man called pope a title that belongs to God and only God i.e.Holy father.
5 They regurarly pervert scripture to worship their goddess ( NOT the Mary of scripture ).
6 They change the meaning of words to stay in their idolatry.
7 They change the context of scripture to give Mary attributes and titles that Jesus nor one Apostle gave her or EVER taught about her.
8 they follow men and NOT God.
9. They believe in magic chairs.
10 They pervert and ignore scripture to IGNORE the meaning of the Lords' supper and believe their priests control Jesus.
11 They pervert scripture and teach works along with faith and grace save.
12 They believe in fairy tales about Mary and their popes.
13 Their leadership does NOT lead by example. They have murdered christians in the name of their false God to try to control true christians.
14 Their leadership hid child molesters to protect their organizations bank accounts.
16 They lie.
17 They do NOT trust God . They trust men MORE than God.
18 They invent doctrines and dogmas contrary to scripture.
A christian would have to compromise the TRUTH to become a Roman Catholic, trust men more than God, distrust scripture,and worse of all christians would have to forsake Jesus to become a Roman catholic.
Ther is more but you get the idea."
I could definitely see that…Anglicans are too close to Catholicism in many respects. Plus, correct me if I’m wrong, but Anglicans also believe in apostolic succession, which as far as I can tell, CARM does not at all.
Yes we believe in apostolic succession.
Fair enough, if you mean that everyone has their own particular bias. That is obvious, otherwise one would not hold to the convictions they have.
Having a very good argument and a thick skin won’t cut it on CARM. If you disagree with them, they will ban you sooner or later. Probably sooner if your arguments are good.
I just have to say that that video is great. It almost makes you feel sorry for Matt in the first half. Then, by the second half, he gets really desperate and starts contradicting himself all over the place and attempting to cover his stumblings by attacking Dr. Sungenis. I feel embarrassed for him.
