No, I don’t believe you will. Protestant anti-Catholics can’t risk actually learning something.

“To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.” John Henry Cardinal Newman.

Sure I’ll get back to you. As soon as you can give me something that is more interesting, enlightening, and profitable than God’s Word.

“As soon as you can give me something that is more interesting, enlightening, and profitable than God’s Word.”

I never claimed there was anything like that. Why don’t you give me a logical reason for why anyone - including you - should trust your interpretation of scripture? Oh, that’s right: You can’t.

Give me a good reason why I should trust YOURS? Or better yet, your CHURCH’s?

>>Why don’t you give me a logical reason<<

It’s the words of scripture that we trust, not human logic. The problem with human logic is that it reverts to the carnal.

>>should trust your interpretation of scripture?<<

I haven’t seen her interpretation of scripture. I have simply seen Catholic belief refuted by scripture.

“Or better yet, your CHURCH’s?”

The Church was sent by God - as was scripture. The Church wrote scripture under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

I have no reason to believe you were sent by God, or inspired by Him.

“It’s the words of scripture that we trust, not human logic.”

That clearly is not true. Protestant interpretation is a product of human logic dating back to the 16th century.

“The problem with human logic is that it reverts to the carnal.”

And that is exactly what Protestantism does.

“I haven’t seen her interpretation of scripture. I have simply seen Catholic belief refuted by scripture.”

No, you’ve just seen Protestant interpretations which agree with your pre-conceived Protestant beliefs.

I know...and you have every right to believe what you don’t believe. Believe me, I’ve seen enough believing to believe that you cannot believe what others want you to believe. It’s all perfectly clear, believe me..

“I know...and you have every right to believe what you don’t believe.”

If that’s considered logical where you come from, then I feel very sorry for you. Maybe it’s a Protestant thing?

No, it’s something I found on the back of a Catholic flyer. I thought Vatican II had settled the issue..

That’s the funniest line I have heard all day. The illogic is still all yours, however.

So glad I could make you laugh. You need to. The wailing and gnashing are coming soon enough.

I see so little scripture proof from you for what you say I simply discount what you say.

“So glad I could make you laugh.”

So glad I could school you.

“You need to.”

And you needed to be schooled.

“The wailing and gnashing are coming soon enough.”

Yep. So many Protestant enemies of Christ need to be reconciled with Him and His Church yet - and quite a few Catholic ones too.

I post the proof. You just dismiss it. That’s your way.

No, I said scripture proof. I’m not interested in some pagan infested hearsay or mans made up doctrines.

“No, I said scripture proof.”

And I have done that in threads with you.

“I’m not interested in some pagan infested hearsay or mans made up doctrines.”

Then why are you a Protestant? That’s all Protestantism is - man’s made up doctrines from the 16th century.
