Refuting Sola Scriptura - Why the Bible Alone is Not Sufficient

[(° ͡ ͜ ͡ʖ ͡ °) (ᵔᴥᵔʋ)]

Look, i have given quotes from Scripture regarding Sola Scripture etc and still we disagree. You will always disagree as you are lost. Maybe, one day you will return home to the true church.

And I have given you sever quotes from Scripture that show Roman Catholic teachings and traditions are contradictory to the bible. I will follow God's written word (particularly His literal words in red) over a pope or a priest.

I just believe Jesus that she was way over the top and that stay away from folks who do that.

Where did he say "You, woman, are way over the top"? He merely embellished what she said...If you and I are eating ice cream, and you say "This ice cream is good." and I say "It's better than good.", I'm not correcting you or denying that what you said is true.

Sever quotes? Really?

You have not shown where Catholic teaching is contradictory to the Bible, not even once. At least you acknowledge that God does more than write words, that he speaks. We believe he speaks, in certain instances, from the mouth of the Pope. So, what you do is pick and choose what you want to believe. So be it.

This is soooooo true!

Because she was giving honor to the bearer of Him (via the "God bearing" womb and "God sucked" paps of her the creature) over Jesus Christ (the Creator). His place is always above her, and the one that honors the Son honors the Father, not he that honors his mother honors either.

She wasnt focusing on the fruit of her womb (which was Christ) but bestowing more honor (even in so few of words spoken by her) of that which pertains to Mary being chosen as the womb and paps of him (who created her).

She was just backwards

Honour Mary, and you honour the Son.

I have given plenty of examples that you will turn a blind eye to. You are probably not even going to read these and pretend you never saw them. Here are 9 examples. Unless you can disprove every single statement you may sway me. Good luck, you have your homework cut out for you.

Btw...I highly doubt any catholic on this forum will honestly take me up on my offer.

1. Does Jesus approve of calling the leaders of the church, "Father"?

Matthew 23:9
"Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. Matthew 23:9

2. Did Jesus forbid repetitive prayer using Rosary Beads?

Matthew 6:7
"And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. Matthew 6:7

3. Did Jesus have brothers and sisters from the womb of Mary?

Matthew 13:55-56
"Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? "And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?" Matthew 13:55-56

4. Did Joseph begin normal sexual relations with his wife after Jesus was born?

Matthew 1:24-25
"And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife, but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus." Matthew 1:24-25

5. Catholics engage in endless praise of Mary. When a woman praised Jesus' mother to his face, did Jesus commend encourage this woman to continue praising Mary?

Luke 11:27-28
"While Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, "Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed." But He said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it."" Luke 11:27-28

6. Does the Bible teach that a bishop (overseer) must be married AND ALSO have children as one of the conditions of being qualified to be a bishop?

1 Timothy 3:2-5
"A bishop, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money. He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity (but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?)" 1 Timothy 3:2-5

7. Does the Holy Spirit warn that "forbidding to marry" is a "doctrine of demons"?

1 Timothy 4:1-3
"But the Holy Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth." 1 Timothy 4:1-3

8. Is Latin Mass forbidden in the Bible when no one in the pews understands Latin?

1 Corinthians 14:19
"in the church I desire to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue." 1 Corinthians 14:19

9. Did Jesus say it was OK for man to change what the word of God teaches for man-made Catholic doctrine?

Mark 7:7-9
"'But in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.' "Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men." He was also saying to them, "You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition." Mark 7:7-9

Exactly. Round and round and round and round! lol

Non-Catholics just have to keep plodding away while us Catholics are content in the knowledge that the True Church of Christ is in very good hands thanks to the Holy Spirit. We love you Jesus!!

Honour Mary, and you honour the Son.

Thats what that woman was doing, "blessed is the WOMB that BORE him and the PAPS that gave HIM suck"

She was doing just that

She wasnt honoring the Son

John 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

Lost in scripture! You are! Lost!

Mary is Blessed, Holy and the Mother of the Son of God! I love you Mary most Holy.

Well...I guess the catholics don't care enough about my soul to explain the 9 examples of contradictions I laid out for them. I guess as long as they are saved who cares...right?

That is your opinion. You are entitled to believe what you want. We cannot change your beliefs. We can only give our beliefs to you. I hope that you will find your way back home buddy.

One way to start my path back home is to provide answers to the 9 examples. But I guess it is not your issue right?


Unless of course you have no answer.

You are only here to 'try' and belittle any Catholic! I love my faith. I love God, I love Jesus, I love Mary. I love the Catholic Faith!

What an awesome feeling to belong!

What an awesome feeling to be a part of such a loving family!

What an awesome feeling to be loved by God the FATHER, the SON, the HOLY SPIRIT and MARY, most Holy Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ!!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am actually being very honest. These 9 examples are some of the reasons why I left the Roman Catholic Church. Do you really think I never tried to get an answer from other Catholics or the priest? Well I have, and every Catholic that ever graced me with their presence refused to give me a direct answer to anything. Yet you have such a pious view of yourself that reminds me of so many other Catholics I've met. Just remember, on that day when you are being judged before the thrown of God, this event is going to be discussed. The day where God gave you an opportunity to save a lost soul but you chose to reject that opportunity because you did not care.

You know what the difference between you and me? I do not believe catholics are going to hell. I believe they are Christians and are saved. It just really bothers me that yourself and many (not all) Catholics think so highly of themselves and their faith that they look down on any other denomination.

Why is the Roman Catholic Church loosing so many members at rates never before seen if it is the "one true church"? I am not exaggerating. Their membership is hemorrhaging at an alarming rate. Why is that? What is the Roman Catholic Church doing wrong? Well, when you make statements like I am going to hell and then not even try to confront the very issues that lead me astray, you answer that question.

If what a person believes brings them closer to Messiah then good for them....
