"Catholicism is not biblical!"
The same church that decided what's (not) part of Scripture believed in:
-Infant baptism
-Eucharist
-Confession
-Honoring Mary/Intercession
-Hierarchical Church structure (Bishops/Deacons especially)
-Apostolic succession
Sounds Catholic no?
@DefiyantlyFree Thousands of denominations with little to no unity also claim it.
Who do I trust?
Which of the late theologians/pastors that have NO apostolic succession and are self appointed?
@IvanYu19841009@NateBornAgain Mark 17 was the joke ๐ญ
1) I sad he quoted something "water baptism doesn't save"
-> first joke that sentence is NO WHERE in the Bible
2) I added Mark 17
-> second joke that it's from a imaginary Chapter because the verse is NON-EXISTENT
@Deep_biblestudy What's the result of submitting to Jesus?
What does your opinion become on
- baptism
- last supper
- salvation
- church structure
- authority?
@sola_chad While "just being a Christian who follows Jesus" will leave so many questions open since there is no universal set of definitions like in the Catholic Church.
@sola_chad Nice in theory but what are the consequences for someone's theology that "was brought to Christ"?
What do they believe about:
- Last supper
- Baptism
- Salvation
- Church Hierarchical structure or not?
That's where Catholicism gives you CLEAR definitions in the Catechism
@MJKelleyII@WCatholic63559 So whats your point?
The early Church believed that the Eucharist is the flesh and blood of Christ?
And that the early Church didn't teach transubstantiation while also not denying it?
What have you gained?
@NateBornAgain Yes man, tell us.
You didn't quote a verse, because that ISN'T in the Bible.
But I thought only what's in the Bible matters? But when you say that Water baptism doesn't save no Bible verse is needed.
@NateBornAgain I mean you did admit that you neither agree with Scripture nor the ENTIRE early Church which emphatically taught baptismal regeneration even according to Protestant historians.
@NateBornAgain 1) I was joking since what you said can't be quoted, because it isn't in the Bible
2) Mark 17 was the punchline... The thing you "quoted" is in a imaginary Chapter since it's not part of the Bible
