CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Not only the 66 books has been scientifically proven while the 7 books don't have the same pattern, this proves, with calculators, that added traditions of the canon got blown out of the water sky high still going upwards, instantly and accurately. While Catholics deny due to the papal systems propagandas, those that want to take a calculator and go to post #361, they can see the truths physicaly exposed right before their very own physical eyes. Simplicity and truths refutes the extra man made books and false traditions. The Protestants are ahead of their time.

The Bible is adequate, but it is not sufficient. Sure the scripture contain what we need to be saved, because that is important. But the Bible does not contain everything we need to live Godly lives, unless of course you pick and choose various scriptures to create an opinion. The Holy Spirit lives within the church and guides us on today's issues we face.
Things like euthanasia, abortion, in-veto fertilization, fracking, recycling, and the like.
When you use the Bible alone, you get incorrect interpretation like SB's believing alcohol is a sin, or others who think 'graven images' are sinful. If you believe in absolute truth, then 99% of 'Christians' have it wrong.

Stop goading. I already addressed this.and by those who don't...but nevertheless think that only God is entitled to worship.
It's also instructive to read back through the posts and see that it's not those opposed to saint worship, etc. who have resorted to personal attacks and insulting words. Think about it. People judge the merits of any disagreement here by whether or not that kind of thing gets resorted to, or whether a sound argument appears instead.
Anyone who claims to be Catholic and worships anyone other then God is not a Catholic. Heresy invokes automatic excommunication. So the second someone who is a baptized Catholic worships anyone other then God, they are not Catholic. Because they are a heretic. It is canon law. CIC 1364:1 to be specific.

True that you cannot rely on Scripture without spiritual help. You cannot pick and choose or interpret things without guidance. The Holy Spirit continues to work in the Church today. Through its clergy, religious etc. It helps guide people. It helps people to understand scripture, It helps direct people in their lives!!
Today, i had a chat with a religious about issues in my life / faith. You know, i am sure the Holy spirit was using her to help me!! This is the same with scripture / Bible. We need guidance and what better guidance than the Holy Spirit which works in and through the Church!

Do you mean 'stated' the Bible is complete. If so, when did he say that?

Yes, we also stand when the Gospel is being read as a sign of reverence for Christ's teachings in His ministry.

Not men. One man, a heretic. God does not move his people to believe 73 books are inspired, and then 1500 years later change his mind.
Are you aware that Luther also tried to remove James and Hebrews with the seven deuterocanonical. But that was to radical for his followers so he left them in. But he did place then in a 'appendix' to encourage people not to read them.
He was a man with his own agenda. Not moved by God. He wanted to push this 'sola scriptura' non-sense on everyone so everyone would follow him instead of Christ.

Really, you don't even know how your 66 book Bible came about?
Okay, well educate yourself first with the origin of your Bible. Because I am using evidence to support my arguments, and if you don't even know how your bible originated, you will not understand.
Ignorance may be bliss in this life, but hell fire ain't bliss.
