Please pardon my minor editing, but I found myself ROFL about the above comment.
May I ask whose Sacred Tradition you are referring to? On what authority do you infallibly know this to be the ONE, TRUE, and ONLY ST?

God has revealed his word not simply through Sacred Scripture but through Sacred Tradition as well, and the latter undeniably preceded the former in the New Covenant era (see, Acts 2:42).
When dealing with you my friend, one learns that there is NEVER anything as simple as Yes or NO.
You see, you couch your questions in the darkness of deceit and deception always with an alterier motive in mind.
There are some questions in which a simple Yes or No is not available.
If you are asking if men who are SAVED are seeking God's wisdom and knowledge and love and compassion and the peace that passes all understanding then my answer is YES!
Romans 3:10-12 says.....
“As it is written: ‘There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.’”
We know that God first gives us faith. But we also have a free will. We decide what to do with the faith God gives. We can ignore it, we can misuse it by chasing after false gods, or we can receive it gladly and use it to embrace the gospel. When God says we must seek Him with all our heart, we understand that He has taken the first step toward us. He has done all that is necessary for our salvation; the work is done.
Thanks for the question as it once again allows me to give out the correct Word of God.

Start a thread on Sacred Traditions and I'd be more than happy to discuss it with you.
Actually, I'd look forward to it.
Thanks in advance!
Really maj1, now it's my fault you have difficulty answering uncomfortable questions?
That is preposterous...... plain and simple!
I know,, like, what time is it? How old are you? ect. But the question I asked you does not fall in that category, for it could have been answerd either yes or no.
This is all nice, but how about those that do not adhere to the unbiblical belief of being "saved' as a one time event? I too used to belive this until I seen the truth through Scripture and the teachings of the true Church started by Jesus Christ...... The Catholic Church! I now know that I have been saved, I'm being saved, and I have the hope that I will be saved, while I work out my salvation with fear and trembling, like St. Paul. In other words, according to the Bible, "being saved" is not a one time event, but rather, an ongoing process. But that's a wholie different topic, one I'd be more than happy to discuss with you.
I am glad you posted Rom.3:11 for it is the root of my question on post # 77. Again, back on post #26, you argued indisputably that Romans 3:11:
"ALL have sinned and come short of the approval of God".
And that..........
"ALL includes every single human being!"
Including babies, (in and outside of the womb) mentally handicapped, ect.
So....... is it fair to say Major1, your argument is that in Rom. 3 it says..." that none is righteous and that all have sinned, right? And would it also be fair to say that you believe the Catholic Church teaches that Mary is without sin in which I agree and you disagrees, right?
Would you also agree that in this passage from Romans, Paul was quoting from the O.T. (Ps.14)? And in Ps. 14 it says....."The fool says in his heart,'There is no God,They are corrupt...there is none that does good." Right?
So my argument is Major1...... just so St.Paul when he quotes from this Psalm, he is not absolutely saying no one is righteous, for if he was, then how would he explain all the Old and New Testament passages that refer to the righteous? Which brings me back to my question.... if you seek for God in your life. For Romans 3:11 says that "no one seeks for God." My point being Maj1, does that mean that absolutely no one seeks God? Of course not. Just like interpreting Romans 3 that absolutely none is righteous and that all have sinned would be just as ludicrous.
You mean to give out your fallible and personal interpretation/ understanding of the Word of God which is subject to error? Is That what you are saying? (a Yes or No question)
Start a thread on Sacred Traditions and I'd be more than happy to discuss it with you.

I Corinthians 1:10 Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you. 12 Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, “I am of Paul,” and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I of Christ.” 13 Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Maj1.....What you believe about every single person can only be confined to your own mind, would you not agree?
I'm sorry Maj1, but that is utter nonsence, and I'm sure you know it. Besides..... This is not the first time you've said nonsence like this to me or other posters when the questions get uncomfortable for you, and it begins to get a little warm in your kitchen.
Lol!...... This is the second most bizzare thing you've posted in the past couple of days. You have never.... ever.... posted any false teachings of the Catholic Church, so there is or was a reason to refute your myths and fallicies!
To quote the late Arch Bishop Fulton J Sheen:
"There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be."
Ehhhh..... thought about it, but I've moved on. Besides, I have thick skin, don't have to go running to the moderators every time someone hurts my feelings.
No need..... thanks anyhoo.
And your questions have been answerd time after time. The problem is, your mind has been polluted by so much anti-Catholic myths, rhetoric, fallicies, and talking points you refuse to accept them. If you want to see the truth, I would suggest googling: "CatholicBridge.com/ Is the Rosary Contrary to the Bible?" read it with an open mind, then get back to me.
Like I said above, go to the web-site provided, read it with an opien mind and get back to me.
First off, this has been addressed many times (my last post for example)
Secondly, as I've told you time after time, I no longer adhere to your unbiblical belief of sola scriptura.
Thirdly,
God has revealed his word not simply through Sacred Scripture but through Sacred Tradition as well, and the latter undeniably preceded the former in the New Covenant era (see, Acts 2:42).
Fourthly.Show the passage that indicates a single sin committed by Mary explicitly.
Now Maj1, you seem to enjoy throwing around the "Where is that in the Bible." So how about you showing in the Bible where it teaches the "altar call", The "sinners prayer" "some bible believing churches objections to dancing and alcohol", " some bible believing churchs idea and practice that Christian children should be separated from the adults during church services." Using "grape juice" for communion rather than wine." The practice of most every modern Christian pastor of wearing a "Golf Shirt" or a suit and tie during worship service, Desiring a "Personal relationship with Jesus Christ." This also is a worthy endeavor, but could you show New (or Old) Testament where it say's explicitly that this is all that God desires of us? I could go on.... and on.... and on.
Veiled Threat?? I think not. Besides.... like I said, I've moved on.
Lastly Maj1, I couldn't help but noticed you disreguarded the main subject if this post of mine you quoted. so to refresh it:
"Lol......I think if anyone should read something carefully, this person should be you. Here it is again, and lets go through it together.....okay?
"This is all very nice Major1, but once again would you agree that it is fair to say that everything you post here, outside of quoting Scripture, are the words of a fallible man who has no authority whatsoever outside of that which you have vested in yourself? I ask that because you rest crucial points of yours, not on the Word of God, but on your fallible, non-authoritative opinion - the word of Major1, as it were."
Here we go:
1. "would you agree that it is fair to say that everything you post here, outside of quoting Scripture, are the words of a fallible man who has no authority whatsoever outside of that which you have vested in yourself?"
Can you not see, outside of quoting Scripture, where I agree and state you have no authority whatsoever. outside of that which you vested in yourself?
2. " I ask that because you rest crucial points of yours, not on the Word of God, but on your fallible, non-authoritative opinion - the word of Major1, as it were."
Do you disagree that you rest your crucial points, not on the word God (Scripture) but on your "fallible" non-authoritive opinion....... The word of Maj1! You see, the major (no pun intended) word here is "fallible." You do agree that you are fallible ....... correct? If so, all I am asking is that you admit that your self admitted non-authoritive opinion,,,, interpretations of Scripture could be in error..... Thats all! Are you willing to admit to all of us here on Christian Forums that you could be wrong when it comes to understanding/ interpreting Scripture?"
Thank you.

We Catholics could ask the same thing TD. Why do you Baptists, or Lutherans, Anglican, Methodists, Quakers, Pentecostals, Presbyterians, Non-Denominationals, ect, ect, use those words to identify themselves in stead of simply saying...."Christian?"
Just a reminder....it is a proven by historical documention that the Catholic Church is the world’s longest living institutional testimony to Christianity with a currant membership of 1.2 billion, worldwide. (thats one fifth of the worlds pop.) That's more than all of those I listed above....combined! Not only that, you have to keep in mind that the name Christian predates "all" Protestant and Evangelical Churches by over a millennium.
However.....the word Catholic on the other hand was used by the year 110 A.D. to distinguish the Church of the Apostles from heretical teachings. St. Ignatius of Antioch, was a disciple of St. John, along with St. Polycarp. The Church historian Theodoret says Ignatius was consecrated bishop by St. Peter, the apostle, who was the first bishop of Antioch before returning to Rome.
Ignatius was martyred in Rome under Emperor Trajan's rule. It was during the journey to Rome that he wrote his famous letters that contain invaluable information about the early Church. He was the first to document the term "Catholic" in its current form to describe the Church.
Now as for me, if somebody ask me if I am Christian? My simple answer is "Yes.... I am a Catholic Christian!"
Maj1.....What you believe about every single person can only be confined to your own mind, would you not agree?
I'm sorry Maj1, but that is utter nonsence, and I'm sure you know it. Besides..... This is not the first time you've said nonsence like this to me or other posters when the questions get uncomfortable for you, and it begins to get a little warm in your kitchen.
