I won't debate you on doctrinal differences but I will disagree with one of your points. ...I do, as a Catholic, disagree with a lot of what you posted but I do not allow myself the luxury of arguing theology with my Reformed brothers and sisters in Christ.

What a lawyerly way of putting it! I would expect nothing less from a fully-indoctrinated follower of that cult.

But, where you fail is in giving an argument from your inside source, while rejecting any argument for/from Scripture. I care less about your indoctrinal studies and cathecisms. They reflect much distrust in Scripture while relying on the fallible words of the Roman Catholic cult. When you begin to add all of the Roman Catholic Mary WORSHIP and place special efforts to recognize some people as "saints', you disagree with the same Word of God that I use as my guide.

I place my trust in Almighty God, and I get my "marching orders" from His Holy Spirit. The Roman Catholic cult is based on following the ideas of men, not the teachings bestowed on us by God. Whereas the RCC claims to be the author of the Scriptures, I insist that, though God has used men to pen His thought and Words, they are direct from the Throne.

When you say that any "current belief" of your cult is different now, that just weakens the authority of any alleged infallibility of the cult. My God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Amen!

Hebrews 13: ...8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit to those who do so. 10 We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle have no right to eat.

11 The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp. 12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. 13 Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. 14 For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come. 15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.
