Honestly, Archie, I no longer care what you believe. Until God sees fit to open your spiritual eyes, you, like Pharaoh, will just keep on hardening your heart, mocking the truth, and clinging to your "un-holy, Roman Catholic, apostatic 'church'"

Sadly, the "gospel" of the RCC is "Believe on [trust in, cling to, rely upon] the RCC and you will be saved. Maybe." In all the time I have been on here, not one Roman Catholic has been able to present the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The "gospel" of Rome? Sure. Then again, one cannot...

🤔 I wonder if anyone has ever written a report of what Roman Catholics truly believe, based upon their actions. While we would say that "they believe the host is Jesus but allow the sexually immoral leaders to hold and touch Jesus" is an "extremely irreverent practice", yet because the RCs...

It's a little more – Arch's masters in the RCC proclaim that it was only for them, the masters, and Arch believes his masters. If the masters changed their interpretation, Arch and every other RC would go along with the new interpretation. As evidence, look at Sts. Christopher and Patrick, along...

So?

But do not forget that your Magisterium claims that it is the sole interpreter of both Scripture and Tradition. Ergo...

Which does reflect poorly on the "Church" of Rome's teachers and teachings... --Rich

Amen, Bonnie! I just did a quick look at "Rock" in the Bible, and there are many, many references in the OT – from Deuteronomy to Habakkuk – to God being our Rock. References with which Jesus' disciples would have been very familiar. One reason a group would prefer a stone to the Rock of Ages...

Thanks! I believe she's back home. 🙏 🥳 We'll need to go see how she's doing... --Rich

From what I have seen here, the RC's responses would disappear! 😏 (In the following, "you" is generic; although I fear that those who would benefit most from it will not recognize themselves.) One point, which I may have missed, is "Be aware of what other Catholics have posted previously." To...

Well, considering that the author is Catholic I don't think the presupposition ("Given that Catholic theology is true") would be unexpected. 😉 --Rich

Why, balshan, that is the mystery! How the RCC masters have differing standards of proof for miracles, and how relatively rational people can swallow it. A great mystery, indeed! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ --Rich

Yikes! 😱 Will keep on praying for you! 🙏 --Rich

There are a number of people here who are "KJVP" – "KJV Preferred". No problem with that! I switch over to KJV for searching. Somehow I find I remember the Elizabethan English more easily. --Rich

🤔 Then rationally, he should not object to sedevacantists, should he? 🤣 The Calvinists would have gotten out their hotdogs and marshmallows, I am sure! Just wait... 🙁 --Rich

Of course it isn't – mommy Church says it isn't, and so it isn't, no matter what people say God's Word says. [/SARCASM] The RCC could teach the Word of Faith preachers a thing or three! --Rich 😠 (grumpy)

Again, RCs follow their contra-Scriptura church, which does not teach them to defend their faith. Or even why they should. ("Leave it to the professionals, kiddies!") And we've seen Rome's "defense" – absorb them, or kill them. 😔 --Rich

There is one and only one reason why Roman Catholics take the words of Jesus here as literal: Mommy church says that they are literal! End of discussion. Reasons and evidences matter not at all. Logic goes out the window. Rome has spoken, and her minions must believe. --Rich "Esse quam videri"

Unless one has allowed the orgy-nization to which they belong to indoctrinate/ brainwash them into believing that they do need scholars to tell them the "secret meaning" behind the "mysteeeeerious" words of God. 😔 And, just like Mormons, JWs, etc., the organization is ready, willing, and able...

It's "worse"! The RCC's favorite whipping boy, Martin Luther, a) was a RC priest b) had been ingesting a lot of wafers his entire lifetime. c) was a member of the "one true church" and d) had the eternal, invisible* mark of the priesthood on his soul. (OPAP?) ... and despite all...
