Catholic Church & Jesus Christ-Why No One Should Be A Catholic

Apostolic Messianic Fellowship ^ | August 30, 2005 | Why No One Should Be A Catholic

Answer the question. When was the NT (not the Old Testament) compiled and agreed upon by the early Church? We are asking for a date.

As for your post, I don't even know where to start, it is ignorant, infantile, libelous, out-right false, and so much more. I pity the author for his hate and venom and stupidity.

I didn't detect any hate from the author...On the contrary...He seems to have a genuine concern for Catholics...Exposing what he sees as falsehood does not indicate hate...

[narses]

Many, sadly including those doctored and cut by protestants to avoid the Truth taught by the Catholic Church. What translation do you use?

[Iscool]

Because of my deep reading of the scriptures and the church fathers and history I decided that I had to be catholic to be in alignment with the church that Jesus founded. Your mileage may vary.

I certainly respect that position...

[StAthanasiustheGreat]

You are being generous. It's on the same level as Mr. Chick.

**The fourth thing a Catholic learns is the Mass is not found in the Bible any where. **

You know better than to post something like this.

Look at the Daily and Sunday Readings that are posted on FR.

FYI, the readings come from the Bible! Amazing, isn't it?

Makes me think of the famous quote ____ leading the ____.

[StAthanasiustheGreat]

You forget yourself, its the "Evil" Catholic False Bible. He can't go on that thread, he'll combust.

[rogator]

In my opinion possibly a misguided agent of Satan but more likely just another ignorant fool spouting lies and distortions. Satan usually chooses smarter, craftier folks as his agents.
Pray for his conversion to Christianity.

What did the Christians do for the first 300 plus years of The Church? There wasn't a canonized Bible yet, you realize that?

As Paul travelled, he left behind his writings...I suspect folks were copying them as fast as they could...

300 years is a long, long time...I suspect there were many copies of the writings of all the Apostles in that 300 years...

[Iscool]

Many of these are reasons why I left the Roman Catholic Church and became a member of the open bible catholic church.

Thanks...It was getting lonely here...

**The third thing a Catholic learns, is they do not receive Jesus Christ as Savior when the Eucharist wafer is placed on their tongue.**

 

**The fourth thing a Catholic learns is the Mass is not found in the Bible any where. **

 

Also, have you ever looked at a Sacramentary?  Almost ALL of the things a priest (and the people) say during a Mass are from the Bible.

 

Especially the consecration of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ -- Direct quotes of Christ at the Last Supper from the Gospels.

My goodness --- Ignatius and Irenaeus and Tertullian and Athanasius and all the church had the scriptures. And the Roman emperors were burning bibles long before the RCC was ever organized.

Hey Jack Chick has pictures which makes it easier for us Catholics to understand.

I looked up some info on the good Pastor. He preaches against the Trinity so he would consider the majority of Protestants to be on the road to hell too.

And the armor of St. Michael the Archangel:

~ PRAYER ~

St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle
 Be our protection against the wickedness
and snares of the devil;
May God rebuke him, we  humbly pray,
 and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
 by the power of God,
 Thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits
who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
 Amen

I thought so too!

Exposing what he sees as falsehood does not indicate hate...

By and large, that's true. Those of us who don't read the Bible remember Psalm 19 and the fear of the fault we don't know we have. This writer is negligent. Having seen something that struck him as false, he reported an opinion carelessly formed as if it were known fact. Why was he so ready to believe ill of his brethren that he did not make the effort to discern truth from lies? Love rejoiceth not at evil but at the good. (That's in the Bible, you know, that book Catholics don't read.)

Put on your flame-retardant suit, please.

Nice testimony...But I see the guy gave up his faith in the word of God and went to your church fathers instead...Many Catholics leave your church for just the opposite reason...

[StAthanasiustheGreat]

You failed to answer the question. What about the Gospels, Peter, John, James? When were they brought together in a single book? History has an answer, apparently you don't.
