    Thank you Palmfever for your participation. Could you please provide the chapter and verse from the Bible where it says "the Bible" is the pillar, the ground of the truth, the upholder, and foundation of the truth. Have a Blessed Palm Sunday and Holy Week

    A few questions for Protestants

    Is it your belief Christians, by the power of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Baptism, are no longer subject to the "powers" of Satan that rule the world? Have a Blessed Palm Sunday and Holy Week.

    A few questions for Protestants

    Answering a question by asking a question KIS144 does not help your argument, it actually gives your argument a disservice. Care to try again? Also KIs144, I am most interested by what you mean by "Catholic Bible." You are aware that it was the Catholic Church that compiled the Bible in the...

    Thank you study man for your participation in my thread. However, could you please cite the chapter/verse where St. Paul says "The foolishness of preaching" to show us His Salvation plan for men? Also study man, in the future, may I please request if you quote Holy Scripture, that you to give...

    A few questions for Protestants

    Interesting Bible passage KIS144. ( 1 Cor. 2: 12) If I may, is it your belief Christians, by the power of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Baptism, are no longer subject to the "powers" of Satan that rule the world? Would it also be your belief, that Christians are reborn by water and the...

    A few questions for Protestants

    Thank you again KIS144 for your response. But once again, no where do I read in these passages from the Old Testament or video you provided the word "Bible" is even mentioned. (Ps 145:18, Isa 16:5, Ps 43:3, Ps 25: 5, Jer 4:2, Isa 65:16, Ps 25:10, Ps 100:5, and Ps 34:8.) History shows that the...

    A few questions for Protestants

    Thank you again KIS144 for your response. However, once more in these passages you provided, I fail to see where they answer my question: "For a Christian, what is the pillar and ground of the truth - i.e., the upholder and foundation of the truth? Is it the Bible?" So, to phrase it differently...

    A few questions for Protestants

    In these passages, Paul still plans to join Timothy in Ephesus; however, he has confidence that, should he be delayed, Timothy will know what is expected of him as a member of God's household of the Church. In what two ways do you believe Paul defines the Church? Lift up your heads, O gates...

    A few questions for Protestants

    Again, and with all respect, you did not answer. I asked that you to put more emphasis on the second question than the first. It is a yes or no question, if you were to answer 'yes' I would have asked you to please explain why, a 'no' answer would be asked the same. For a Christian, what is the...

    A few questions for Protestants

    Riddles? What riddles are you speaking of? A riddle is a question or statement intentionally phrased so as to require ingenuity in ascertaining its answer or meaning, typically presented as a game. With all respect, I do not consider the Word of God a game. Keep in mind KIS144, the title of...

    A few questions for Protestants

    Thank you KIS144 for your response. However, these passages do not answer the question. So again, for a Christian, what is the pillar and ground of the truth - i.e., the upholder and foundation of the truth? Is it the Bible? Have a Blessed Day!

    A few questions for Protestants

    The two pillars of the Temple at the entrance to the Sanctuary's Holy Place were named (1 Kings 7:21). The pillar on the right was Yachin (or Jachin which means "He shall establish") and the one on the left was Boaz ("in Him is strength") and can correspond to the shoulders of the high priest's...

    A few questions for Protestants

    If I may, here are some briefs from the Catechism of the Catholic Church regarding the Church 777 The word "Church" means "convocation." It designates the assembly of those whom God's Word "convokes," i.e., gathers together to form the People of God, and who themselves, nourished with the Body...

    A few questions for Protestants

    Should have said 'when.' As a Catholic, my belief of Matt.7:7 when Jesus says, "knock and the door will be opened to you," the door is the door to heaven and eternal life which had been closed since the Fall and had not been opened until the coming of the Christ. I love the Beatitudes...

    A few questions for Protestants

    The name "pope" comes from a Latin and Greek word meaning "father." Yes The Catholic Church teaches the Holy Spirit is a divine person, one of the three members of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). The Holy Trinity is three divine persons in one God, with each person wholly...

    A few questions for Protestants

    After reading my post over, I suppose that I could have worded it differently. The point I was trying to get across to QVQ's post #1251 where it said: "The Popes are not Peter." was that St. Peter was the first Pope of the Catholic Church, the Church established by Jesus Himself. As for Matt...

    In all honestly, I never said they were. St. Peter was the Church that Jesus established.... first Pope. Sacred Tradition stands as a cornerstone of the Catholic faith, embodying the living transmission of the Word of God as entrusted by Jesus Christ to the Apostles and their successors...

    Ground rules? Thats a first, Interesting. Is it your belief that the Bible is sufficient as a sole rule of faith? IOW, are you a sola scripturist? From the Catechism of the Catholic Church: But this doesn't address my question. Again, could you please give the chapter and verse from the...
