Jesus warned that His true mother and brothers are those who listen to and practice the Word of God. Sounds like Jesus doesn't believe in justification by faith alone. |

Here is just a sample of his testimony...As a Roman Catholic for over 30 years, I was taught from the Catechism that salvation was by faith plus baptism, the sacraments, good works, law keeping, the sacrifice of the Mass, indulgences, purgatory and penance. Of course he was taught that. The Bible says "Baptism saves you."(1 Peter 3:21) "God will render according to works."(Romans 2:6) "This is my body, this is my blood,"(Mark 14:22-24) "saved yet by fire"(1 Cor. 3:14,15)(purgatory), "break off your sins"(Daniel 4:27)(penance). That explains why he was taught those things as a Roman Catholic as far as I can tell. The Catholic Church is far more biblical than many will have you believe. |

Wayne,
Protestants probably have plenty of traditions. Of course they do. If they didn't there wouldn't be the myriad of different opposing churches, fighting over their doctrines and at the same time telling Catholics to come out. As I said before Scripture Alone quickly becomes victim of their own interpretations, study guides, catechisms, theologians, personal opinions, experiences, etc. |

You disregard God's commandment and cling to what is human tradition.'
To qualify to be an apostle, they had to have seen Christ. Those claiming apostolic authority are imposters. See Heb.2:3-4 and for signs of an apostle, see 2 Cor 12:12. How is it you think this condemnation of tradition is Joseph's tradition? You can't prove it. As for Apostles, there's no place in the NT that says they must have seen Christ to qualify. This is purely made up tradition..and a modern one at that, so the idea of Apostolic Succession really is more logical and Biblical. It makes sense to me.
And what do you do then with 2 Thess 2:14 "Hold to the traditions you have been taught by word or epistle." You do well at picking out verses that condemn traditions, but there's more to the picture as the Thessalonian passage reveals. |

Wayne,
Here's Luther's opinion of the Mass, as Jim Lincoln quoted:"That the Mass in the Papacy must be the greatest and most horrible
abomination, as it directly and powerfully conflicts with this chief
article, and yet above and before all other popish idolatries it has
been the chief and most specious. For it has been held that this
sacrifice or work of the Mass, even though it be rendered by a wicked [and abandoned] scoundrel, frees men from sins, both in this life and also in purgatory, while only the Lamb of God shall and must do this,..." So he denies the mass as well as works on behalf of the dead which actually are recorded in scripture and not condemned. Now here's the Augsburg Confession: "for the Mass is retained among us, and celebrated with the highest reverence." ????? Care to elaborate who's correct? Luther or Augsburg? As for my comment about Luther sin and temptation I quote from the Lutheran handbook(a guide for wanna-be Lutherans): "HOW TO RESIST TEMPTATION..."Commit some minor sin to throw the devil off. Luther sometimes advised people to do this." That's good enough for me to call Luther a false prophet, plain and simple. The Bible says to resist the devil and he will flee, not commit sin to throw the devil off. |

Joseph,
It's my observation that no fundamentalist Bible believer adhere's strictly to Scripture Alone. It quickly becomes what the pastor says, what history says, what "I" believe the Bible says, etc. I don't know how they get off telling Catholics they are wrong when they can't agree among themselves what's rigt. Hang in there  |

Jim,
Your response isn't very convincing. Why should I heed Luther's words about the Mass when he thought it was ok to commit sin during trials of temptation? Is this not a doctrine of devils? More so than purgatory I think and as for purgatory the biblical record has been set before you already from 1 Peter 3 & 4(Gospel preached to the dead) and Paul's referring to saved by fire. Is hellfire ever recorded as working salvation? No. So logically.....the nasty "P" word  . Other works on behalf of the dead are also to be found in Holy Scripture and they aren't condemned, so it's not devil-driven no matter how much you say it is. |

But old GG sees and hears what the papish priests tells him is history,or should we say tradition, This happens in what goes by the banner of Biblical Christianity as well. The burden of proof is still on you guys, once you settle on what's correct doctrine and practice . |

Well, if that's true, it sounds like Oscar Wilde's quip: "The best way to banish temptation is to give in to it." Lance, would it convince you that I read this in a Lutheran book for new members? In the section about temption, One option for dealing with temptation is to comit a minor sin and it said Luther recommended this. Another clear example of someone confused despite being a professor of a German university. Jesus came to save people from sins, not so they could sin and feel good about it. |

If I remember correctly, the Septuagint is a Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures so, obviously, the seven extras were ADDED to the Hebrew canon!!
So not part of God’s word. That makes no sense. If the Septuagint is a Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, obviously the seven extras were already in the Hebrew canon. So they are part of God's word. As for Spurgeon encouraging curses on the Catholic Church, it's a fine exampe of how erroneous the Bible believers are. Jesus says to bless those who persecute you, not call curses on them. How could one follow such a confused man who says to call curses on your enemy. If he can't get his own theology straight, why heed his pointed opinions against Catholics? And it continues today. "Biblical Christianity" continues to divide and fight within and at the same time tells Catholics "You're wrong, come out!" And join what---your personal debates aimed at one another? Who should we listen too? The burden of proof is on you, not the Catholics. And of purgatory. Inspired of the devil, eh? What do you make then of Apostle Peter referring to a place where the dead were preached to; also a salvation by fire recorded by the Apostle Paul. |

GG,

It quickly becomes what the pastor says, what history says, what "I" believe the Bible says, etc. I don't know how they get off telling Catholics they are wrong when they can't agree among themselves what's rigt. The burden of proof is on them, not Catholics. As for Luther and the Deuts, he proposed James be removed...possibly Revelation also and recommended that one struggling with temptation commit a "minor" sin to help thwart despair. That's a false gospel. Jesus did not die so people could commit sin and feel good about it! Hang in there |
