RomeSweetHome, the history is available for anyone willing to do the research. The linguistics are there for anyone willing to do the research. The Bible is there for anyone willing to read it.

You are apparently willing to do none of the above. Nor are you willing to even acknowledge other research.

I read the bible daily, what are you on about now?

So what point is there is trying to discuss anything with you? You have swallowed Catholic propaganda and those men's teachings hook, line, and sinker and you appear to be totally trapped by them.

Its not propaganda its doctrine.

If you dare, at some point in your life, open up your Bible and before you read, ask the Lord for wisdom, which James says we can and should ask for, and then start reading.

I have done, thanks for the advice.

1. Catholics appeal to the Catholic church. That is their identity.

2. Christians appeal to Christ. That is their identity.

3. the word is 'sense', not 'sence'.

I will give a few points also.

1. Protestants appeal to their personal interpretations of scripture.

2. as fellow Christians Catholics also appeal to christ.

3. I admit my spelling sucks, whats your point?

And, interestingly, your reference to 'the past 1500 years' leaves out the entire first quarter of it.

The Catholic Church is 2,000 years old. How old is your denomination?

tuppence Wrote:

For Christ sake, for God sake and for Heavens sake, am I blaspheming?

I didn't say you were. Your use of language there, however, is HIGHLY offensive to me and to other Christians on this board. IF you are going to insist on using them, however, please improve your English. Christ, God, and heaven should all have an " 's " to show belonging. As in "for Pete's sake."

I really do not understand why it would offend you.

I live in England, In England we speak a certain dialect called "cockney slang", we do not put the "s" on the end of the words I listed above. So I would say improve your regional knowledge.

I can state quite confidently that you don't. If you did, you would pay attention to what He said.

Who are you to tell me if I love Christ or not?, I could care less what you think.

tuppence Wrote:

1. That means, first of all, that you are depending on your own judgment. You have that much confidence in yourself?

2. That also means that you have read men's material, but clearly, from your posts, not God's. Don't you think it is time you actually started digging into the Bible, as in start to finish? Four or five chapters a day and you can have it finished in a year. It IS God's Word, you know.

Like I said, I read my bible daily, I dont need you telling me what to do.

I would advice you to take your own advice.

tuppence Wrote:

History is unbiased. Start studying for yourself. And it does not matter what Protestant churches do. What matters is what Christ did and the claims of the RC church in opposition to that.

Not all history is unbiased. I do study myself. It does matter what Protestant churches do. If your going to speak against the Catholic church and the way it conducts communion, then you have to be fair and look at the various Protestant churhes that conduct communion in roughly the same manner.

tuppence Wrote:

Total Catholic propaganda. That statement is absolutely and massively wrong. But, again, you would need to read UNBIASED (check the spelling on your post) history to know that was the case.

So if it wasnt the Catholic Church, who was it?

tuppence Wrote:

I suggest that it would be wise to know what you are talking about before you start spouting off on some of this stuff.

At least I can prove my points using pure scripture, and without giving my personal interpretations and opinions on the matter.

What amazes me is that you want Christians to eat a meal in Church instead of receiving wafers, you want Christians to meet in their houses instead of going to church? What is it that you want?

you want us to walk the same way Christ walked? You want us to talk the same Way Christ talked? you want us to dress in robes?

we are living in a modern world, The things the Catholic Church does do not contradict the teachings of Christ.

You are making a fuse about silly little matters, that have no complications on our salvation, and that are completely off the topic.

Mary was not immaculately conceived (violates Biblical truth), the mother of God (violates historical evidence found in the ECF’s and Biblical truth), a perpetual virgin (violates historical and Biblical truth), or assumed into heaven (a cursory study of the history of Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman mythology and Biblical truth plainly demonstrate this to be true).

You cannot prove Mary was not immaculately conceived, you have failed to prove that it violates biblical truth. The title Mother of God is a logical title, and one that was given to Mary to elavate Christ not her.

You have also failed to prove using sola scripture that Mary was not a perpetual virgin.

In all areas you have failed.

Like I have been saying time and time again, prove your assumptions with the bible as it is YOUR only rule of faith, dont quote me historical sources etc...
