Be brave to look at the evidences ! Is Catholicism right ?

[Lost4words]

Part 7:

It is the heart-purifying regenerating faith behind baptism (all that we voluntarily choose to do is a result of what we truly believe, at least at the moment) that is counted for righteousness. And which evidences faith, and thus those who will believe and obey are promised salvation, just as those who believe. (Acts 2:38; 10:43; 15:7-9; Titus 3:5; cf. Mk. 7:2-16)

Therefore to think that the above verses teach as "a fact" that Jesus built his Church on Peter, and that is the RCC as the OTC is actually a testimony to ignorance and an abuse Scripture to support false teaching.

7 parts worth skipping to say that Jesus did indeed build His church on the Rock that is Peter. Its there in black and white my old friend.

God bless you

Humm first of all , I thought Catholics were Christians. Second, I have a very long list. Here is one.
1) I do not believe in confessing my sins to a Priest.

Then you'd not be catholic anymore..
I don't think you know your catechism.

 

[In Defense of the Faith]

Protestants dont have a valid priethood, therefore cannot have the Eucharist.
considering what I posted has been the understanding of the Church since the beginning, anything contrary would be the traditions of.men.

Yes and I would add that protestant traditions are man made.. Just think about the so called "born again" experience for example. Can anybody prove me that this is biblical or that the first christians believed in in being "born again" the protestant way ??

Then you'd not be catholic anymore..

I guess you did not read my post on what the Roman Catholic Catechism has to say about my standing. I have an "indelible spiritual mark", no matter what I believe.

Definition of indelible
1a: that cannot be removed, washed away, or erased

1304 Like Baptism which it completes, Confirmation is given only once, for it too imprints on the soul an indelible spiritual mark, the "character," which is the sign that Jesus Christ has marked a Christian with the seal of his Spirit by clothing him with power from on high so that he may be his witness.
1305 This "character" perfects the common priesthood of the faithful, received in Baptism, and "the confirmed person receives the power to profess faith in Christ publicly and as it were officially (quasi ex officio)."

ummm....Marriage?

The Augsburg Confession defines Three; Eucharist, Baptism, and Confession and Absolution (Small Catechism lists only two based on the absence of a physical element in Confession and Absolution.

I once read a Catholic paper regarding Marriage as a Sacrament in that is blesses the union of a man and woman, and the act of procreation; thus preventing the physical sin of fornication.

Lutherans would consider it and the other 3 (4) Catholic sacraments as "Sacramentals" or "Sacrmental acts". Not Sacraments, but Sacred in nature.

For the record I do not agree with you at all. My comment was aimed at your unkind way of ending our conversation.
Blessings to you as well.
