Campion : Uh, presidio, you walked into that one ... Biblical Christianity is Catholicism.

presidio9 : Correct. But then how should we refer to Biblewonk's unique brand of worship?

"Unique brand"? Hah. That's a good one. Biblical Christianity fits just fine, thanks. The RC system is about as Biblical as, say, Mormonism.

In correct. It is all in the Good Book. You just interpret the Book differently. That is your right, but these silly theological discussions on a thread about a dying holy man are an indication of how insecure you so-called "Biblical Christians" really are about your faith.

You either don't know Mormonism or you don't know Catholicism, or both.

Mormonism denies the very concept of God by asserting that "God" was once a man, that multiple "gods" exist, and that men today can become "gods". It denies the Trinity by insisting that Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are three "gods". It denies salvation by grace by asserting that one can work one's way to "godhood". It also claims that the Bible contains errors introduced by Rome.

Catholicism affirms the uniqueness and uncreated nature of God, denies the possibility of multiple "gods", affirms the Trinity (and always has), and insists that salvation is through God's grace alone (cf Augustine, Aquinas, and Trent if you don't believe me). It also insists that the Bible is without error in everything God wishes it to teach. (cf Dei Verbum, Vatican II)

That's an incredibly silly thing to say.
