I'd prefer to believe the Bible over what any human saysHe said he doesn't know.
I think we should believe him.
...followed by the Roman Catholic Church following their lead and omitting some of the Bible's contents on their own.
That's for you to decide, but the point wasn't what church you personally want to belong to. It was that the Creeds and Councils owe more to the input of the Eastern representatives than to the Latin ones.
You needn't recite what you learned in RCIA class to me--at least not in every post.Sticking to the topic would be just fine.
You're correct there is nothing more to be done once we accept the FREE GIFT OF GRACE
The scripture we have are the writings of Christ, His Apostles and His disciples and the catholic had absolutely nothing to do with writing any of the known scriptures. Copying scriptures has nothing to do with the original writers despite your erroneous claims.
Usually, however, that's the explanation..I did not learn this in any RCIA class.
No, that's not so. But if thinking it's so is necessary for you, I'm not going to fight it. If it's simply a case of having been misled, I'd hope you would o some study on your own.But, according to both Scripture and the historical record, we know that it is Peter and his successors alone who hold the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
So now you want to change your original claim. I see once the facts are pointed you can't admit you were mistaken.
Actually they were and all you need do is google it.

The scripture is showing just because a human says something doesn't make it true. Christ is the truth who do you believe, the person who says he did something in Christ's name or Christ who says "I never knew you"? Please note Christ doesn't say I once new you but you were a bad boy once to often so you're not getting in here rather he says "I never knew you" which indicates they were never, ever saved.
Perhaps you can tell us which sins Christ didn't die for? Please be specific.So, if you murder someone or commit adultery or fornication, you are still saved?
The churches they were written to and again if you claim has any credence which of the many churches mentioned in the New Covenant was the catholic church?Who do you think had possession of the original Scriptures?
Pehaps you can tell us once again where Moses got those laws? Oh wait........You can believe whatever you want to believe.
Moses himself gave God's law to the Israelites. This is why it was called the Law of Moses.
Luke 24:44
Then he said to them, “These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled.” rsv
John 7:19
Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?” rsv
Hebrews 10:28
A man who has violated the law of Moses dies without mercy at the testimony of two or three witnesses. rsv
I don't know how many people the catholic and protestant churches murdered but I'm sure it's quite a few eh? Why do you ask it's your history. So how many Baptists do you think the catholic church murdered knowing we never shared in catholic and protestant churches evil doings during the dark ages the catholic church is responsible for? BTW you do know one of your popes apologized for those atrocity's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_apologies_made_by_Pope_John_Paul_IIHow many Catholics were killed by Protestants?
Wow so Christ is fickle, I never knew that he would save someone put their name in the Book of Life and hen remove it. You would think that because God knows everything he wouldn't have wasted time by putting someone's name in the Book of life who he was later going to "unsave".The person whose name is not written in the Book of Life, Jesus will deny that He knows him.
This does not mean that the person was never saved at one time.
So if you're saved, you no longer are vulnerable to sin, and won't need forgiveness for anything ever again?So, if you murder someone or commit adultery or fornication, you are still saved?
As many as we're needed for self defense.
"The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this [Calvinist]. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get." (Luke 18:11-12)Threads like this make me happy to be Catholic. In all honesty I don't see how the Calvinist point of view doesn't lead one to nihilism. Heck if you are already predestined one way or the other, and there isn't nothing you can do about it, then why even worry about doing anything Christ-like? Live your life as you see fit, and let everything wash itself out in the end.
Amen! So true brother. Clearly your hard work will pay off. Oh wait, shouldn't you be trusting in the perfect work of Christ instead of trying to add to it? Well anyway, reap what you sow!Clearly there is something in it for me.
Gal 6
7Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. 8For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.9Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.
Is that so? Is this a demonstration of love, for your brother? What do you have to gain from such cruel words? To speak of an unbeliever in such a manner is hateful, but about a fellow Christian is downright despicable? This does not help your cause.Mention things like babies and young children being predestined to hell and the Calvy brigade do an about turn, double talk, any other trick or dodge you can think of.
