@Scooter82764295@ChristandGuitar No, the Catholic Church is the one church that offers the fullness of the means of salvation - the Eucharist, the seven sacraments, Apostolic Succession and the living Magisterium.
@Mapache155893@schmitt4545@Xtopher_Uzo Hmmm, I swear He said something about those that don't eat His flesh and drink His blood not having eternal life.... But hey, birthday parties are totally worth it.
@basedwingnews@Pawn4King@sola_chad It actually does. Christ told the Apostles that the sins they forgive will be forgiven. What else could that possibly mean????
@w_bitterman@KennyBurchard@BalooHealer No, your personal interpretation of Scripture is your authority and yet only the Magisterium of the Church was granted that authority by Christ. That is why protestant pastors will continue to officiate as their own pope, counter to Christ's teachings.
@Mikmag1776 How many times did you say that the bread and wine were His real body and blood? What did he say about the people that left because they knew He was talking about actual blood and flesh? What was the meaning of the word He used for "eat"?
@Patrici48060503@renewingprotest You're just talking in circles. There is already over 2000 years of Church history to reference. This argument has already been laid out in full. The first point would be the Reformation removed any part of the Bible they didn't like.
It was great visiting Valentine Food Company in Indianola today!
It’s always important to hear directly from local manufacturers about how we can create & keep good paying jobs right here in Iowa; whether it’s expanding access to SBA loans or helping navigate the myriad of federal government inspections.
We had a great conversation about benefits of Working Families Tax Cuts, smart trade policies and supply chains.
And I have to say - the place smelled delicious.
@JesusSaves1500@AmosKissel No, saying they taught orally DOES demonstrate they taught these things orally. That's why subsequent writings exist explaining the doctrines.
@Patrici48060503@renewingprotest No, I proved my point. You're a hypocrite because protestantism is literally built on attacking the Church's character. Your theology is not biblically sound because Sola Scriptura is expressly rejected by Scripture. Catholicism is THE biblical Church.
@havoc_211@advent_catholic@MrCasey62 Hahaha fraudulently created a canon. That is the most imbecilic argument I've ever heard. Luther wanted a less strict form a Christianity so he removed the parts of the Bible that made life hard for him. The Reformation was a mistake.
@Patrici48060503@renewingprotest Your whole theology is built on attacking the character of the Church. Catholics don't have to prove anything. There is already 2000 years of Church history and the Scriptures to support the Church.
@ChristandGuitar Haha that equates to "completely different places"? I'll answer for you, it doesn't. You are grossly exaggerating the schism. The points of contention may be great but the separation as a whole is not.
@joshwhitlatch@EasternMilk The writings of the Early Church Fathers solidify this understanding. You choose to deny those that were taught by the Apostles and instead lean on your own understanding. And the "rebuking" argument is so silly. That in no way negates Peter's position. None. Not at all.
@joshwhitlatch@EasternMilk You're misunderstanding Scripture and choosing to interpret it in a way that suits you....which is why the Church is so important. Jesus literally says he will build his Church upon Peter. That is the Scripture establishing his headship.
@residentreformr@OGoethals57132 You don't even have enough integrity to be honest about what the Church teaches so why would anyone expect you to debate in good faith. Very typical.
