Dodge No 3....geez, you cannot find anywhere in scripture that says we must believe only what is in scripture....relaxing and waiting.
We can discuss that on the thread listed below. Relaxing and waiting......Dodge No 3....geez, you cannot find anywhere in scripture that says we must believe only what is in scripture....relaxing and waiting.
"According to Keith Mathison, over the last one hundred and fifty years Evangelicalism has replaced sola scriptura, according to which Scripture is the only infallible ecclesial authority, with solo scriptura, the notion that Scripture is the only ecclesial authority.
The direct implication of solo scriptura is that each person is his own ultimate interpretive authority.
Solo scriptura is, according to Mathison, an unbiblical position;
proponents of sola scriptura should uphold the claim that Scripture is the only infallible authority, but should repudiate any position according to which individual Christians are the ultimate arbiters of Scriptural truth. In this article we argue that there is no principled difference between sola scriptura and solo scriptura with respect to the holder of ultimate interpretive authority, and that a return to apostolic succession is the only way to avoid the untoward consequences to which both solo scriptura and sola scriptura lead."

Read and discuss!
Lol. Yes, bro, enjoy. The enemy is going to be exposed here. Be prepared though, he will become very upset and his followers will be provoked to anger as well.
Popcorn?
I think that the preoccupation lies in refuting non-Catholic claims that Catholic teachings (well some of them) cannot be found anywhere in the Bible.So why the Catholic preoccupation with making the claim that all of the Catholic church's teachings are biblical? It would seem to me that if you and church think that doctrines can come from outside of scripture then it should not matter if they can be defended with scripture, right?
I knew it wouldn't take long for the sabbatarian anti-Sunday SDA crowd to show up.Mark 7:6-13 "in vain do they worship Me teaching for doctrine the commandments of men".
I think that sort of problem matters to God and there is no such thing as "nothing can go wrong" in that warning given by Christ.
in Christ,

I am sure that some Evangelical churches are guilty of teaching things not in the Bible too, but unfortunately I'm not able to give examples off the bat. They claim though to be Bible-based. I don't mean to offend anyone, I'm just saying.
Well honestly, certain doctrines are of the enemy, which many RC's follow blindly.So Catholics are now "the enemy"?
This whole thread was supposed to be about Catholics and Scripture, no? All I see is excessive pride spewing from every direction.
I agree, for one example, the invitation system is very misleading and not found in scripture. But that is for a different thread.I am sure that some Evangelical churches are guilty of teaching things not in the Bible too, but unfortunately I'm not able to give examples off the bat. They claim though to be Bible-based. I don't mean to offend anyone, I'm just saying.
You have been led to believe that. Since it has been discussed before, you should have a lot of into and scripture. But again, that is also for another thread.I can tell you one, Sola Scriptura.
Yes, I agree. You're right.I am somewhat disappointed with direction of this thread, last I knew we were talking about nuns but it went crazy since.
It would be nice to focus on what issue at a time, imo.

These errors and inventions are not Biblcal and are not part of historic Christianity.

Thank you.Awesome! I pray the Lord will richly bless her with His truths.
And do not believe everything you hear, Calvin never condemned infant baptism. Some people make claims without actually looking to what people actually taught.
also, as you probably already know, God's word does not teach baptismal regeneration. We are saved by faith alone. In Christ alone.

Your nickname's subtitle "kittens go to heaven" is not in the biblewell the Evangelical teaching of how you have to be content with God before you are granted a spouse is so not in the Bible that the next time someone says it to me in real life I will literally tell them don't be an idiot. But I don't want to start a new topic
I did? Are you a mind reader now?"Foghorn took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, 'O God, I thank you that I am not like the Catholics..."
Never heard a parable before?Foghorn said:I did? Are you a mind reader now? I never said or would say any such thing. Looks like I ruffled your feathers a bit huh? Lets be fair and honest with eachother? Thanks.
ha that's a good one. I don't care though I'm keeping itYour nickname's subtitle "kittens go to heaven" is not in the bible
"Foghorn took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, 'O God, I thank you that I am not like the Catholics..."
For the love of all that is holy people, drop the bigotry and villianizations!
Our Lord's critique of the Pharisees was based on a view of the law that lacked any attention to the intentions behind our good deeds, and their ethnocentric form of Judaism that strictly seperated Jews and Gentiles- something highly inappropriate and indeed damning in the new era.
That is not what Catholics do! Haven't you ever read St. Thomas Aquinas? Do you even know what he is? According to Catholic doctrine, derived from the Scriptures, good works that lack right intentions are worthless.
Or do you just wish to villianize Christian traditions that practice formal liturgies in their worship and sacramental forms of piety because you don't understand them and think they're just 'going through the motions'?
I wonder how many evangelicals are just 'going through the motions' when they 'give the Lord a big round of applause' or clap their hands to upbeat worship music.
Seriously, I find that whole line of argument highly offense.
