>>The problem with that is that there are tons of groups claiming extra-Biblical revelation and THEY also claim to have it from God but it contradicts another groups claimed extra-Biblical revelation. So who's right?<<

Catholics, Mormon, and Muslims all have their “visions” and “revelations”. Rather than rely on the words of God they rely on the words of man. They are all in the same boat when it comes to eternity.

Good try, Daniel.

From experience I've noticed that when a Catholic poster meets his match... and is exposed by scripture...they usually bow out of any more dialogue, or post a short Catholic style curt condescending reply.

I'm not talking about nor am I concerned with "tons" of divergent and false denominations. I am only concerned with the one, holy Catholic and Apostolic Church which has the continuity of Apostolic succession from the first Pentecost until today.

IOW, *We're right and everyone else is wrong because we said so.*

Thanks for proving my point.

the Catholic church...only that church is in truth, without error, or possibllity of error....
So it was not an error for Popes to cut off fingers, have sex with nuns, have a pope the son of a pope, loving the screams of those being tortured?

Yea, no error there. No possibility of error there.

Those and many other ERRORS are actually the reasons the LDS are able to harvest so many confused souls from Catholicism.

Catholic church, be ashamed!!!

Now there is a place where that fits, not posted to a poster for not making an error.

"So... LOL, good response, backing away."

LOL. Scripture is not the exclusive domain and possession of Protestants and I have not seen any legitimate Scriptural evidence presented by Protestants in these threads other than the contrived interpretations to justify their personal judgment. I will discuss error, but I will not engage intellectual dishonesty presented under the guise of scholarship.

Peace be with you.

You got it right.

A Christian.

And NOT a Catholic.

Even though Catholicism killed many Christians, there have always been many from the first day of Pentacost.

They couldn’t get them all with their stake fires and torture chambers

Thanks metmom, I was going to pass on this foolish question...

256 was a good year!

Course, they'd probably STILL argue with it if Matthew came right out and said, *And after Mary had Jesus, Joseph had sex with her and they had other children together.*

He didn't and neither did she.

And covering up for priests who molested little boys.

Heretic, dontcha know, NOBODY is perfect.

Oh, wait a minute, they claim they are.

tc;the Catholic church...only that church is in truth, without error, or possibllity of error....

What kind of blows the mind is Catholics seem to think that everyone else is as brainwashed as they are and is in as much a denial of reality as they are if they honestly think that people don't see their church for what it is. They sure have a blind spot about it. It doesn't seem to occur to them that others don't.

Forgotten is Jesus’ words to fallible men, ‘The kingdom will be taken from you and given to a nation producing its fruits’.

That is what can happen when men presume too much.

And why wouldn’t he?

Mary didn’t need to stay a virgin after she gave birth to Jesus. Prophecy had been fulfilled and she was free to be a normal wife to her normal husband.

The angel DID tell Joseph to not be afraid to take her as his WIFE.

Sex comes with. It’s a package deal.

Revelation 18:4

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Still don't understand the concept of born again Christians? Everyone that is not a Catholic is a Genti...oops...Protestant?

Want to discuss that error?

Or maybe These Errors <--------- click

I will not engage intellectual dishonesty presented under the guise of scholarship.
Projection? Well, never the less, that will NOT cause me to not post to you...I like to expose Catholic "errors" under the guise of teachings persented as gospel.

It’s becoming more clear who that is addressed to.

So instead of it being *God breathed* Catholicism teaches that it's simply a matter of transcribing *oral tradition*......No big deal.... so they think.

There is no big deal to deception - it goes as low as the pit.

Rome doesn't get to touch God's Word - not add or subtract. They are to hear and obey IT - or not.

"I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." Matt 5:18
