@ComeYeSinners That all sounds good until you realize many doctrines are
A: completely absent from scripture, or
B: require the Bible to mean something different from what it actually says.
@LaneAndrew4@needGod_net Let me simplify it for you.
If you skip Mass one week without a doctor’s note, your religious rules say you are condemned.
If you attend Mass, you keep your salvation.
This is a rules/works based salvation model.
It’s not actually that nuanced.
@brokenbose@Cahleom@Mikmag1776 Ah yes!
Mary couldn’t further the Gospel with the disciples because her money would have been lost.
🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
@brokenbose@Cahleom@Mikmag1776 Jesus could have “given” Mary to John for any number of reasons, including wanting her to be in the upper room at Pentecost.
God’s ways are higher than our ways.
This is pure conjecture, now and in Jerome/Augustine’s time.
@yaboiblackiron@Mikmag1776 Maybe her destiny lay with the disciples and not with his siblings.
She was in the upper room with the disciples at Pentecost after all.
You’re just inventing your own reasons for why Jesus did what He did, which is foolish.
@KickPistons Why did the disciples in Acts preach the gospel in 5 minutes, but OCIA takes a year?
That’s a lot of manmade junk added to the simple gospel.
@wcmclaa You claim that Protestants inexplicably refuse to admit our sins, etc etc.
Every word of that sentence is a false statement and you are clearly ignorant of what Protestants actually believe. That’s all
@wcmclaa@SWoodl18571 Protestants pray what is on their heart.
Catholics repeat the same prayers ad infinitum, as they think the occasion requires.
You asked us why we think the way we do, and then you falsely stated that only pertains to the prayers of the rosary.
