Does Romanism (Roman Catholic Religious Salvation System) Preach Another Gospel? Debate 1

[thundersteel111]

Larry, you owned this Mr. Fastiggi. i watched this debate sooo many times and still get a kick out of it.

[norseczar27]

I'm a Mormon. Woohoo!

[CAnswersTV]

@norseczar27 Mormonism is a false religion that had it's beginnings with Sidney Rigdon & Alexander Campbell (see our Youtube video, "RISE OF THE CULTS: WHERE DID ALL THESE STRANGE AMERICAN RELIGIOUS SECTS COME FROM?") back in the 1820s. Rigdon, after learning from Campbell, got with jailbird Joseph Smith, to invent a religion that could get them money, sex & power (the same reasons most false religions are invented with Muhammad of Islam as a prime example). See our 5 hour series on Mormonism.

[kiwichristian2009]

the rcc says that evolution is in line with Christianity and catholics can believe in it. This is CONTRARY to the Bible. the rcc says mary was sinless. this is CONTRARY to the Bible. the rcc says confess your sins to a priest. this is CONTRARY to the Bible. the rcc says mary can save you. this is CONTRARY to the Bible. the rcc says peter was "the rock". this is CONTRARY to the Bible. The rcc murdered MILLIONS of Christians. This is CONTRARY to the Bible.

[rjky1986]

Also, I love how this guy almost loses it on here once or twice because he can't face the clear contradictions in many Roman doctrines the Larry Wessels asks him about. Like at 6:18 for example.

[rjky1986]

That last point was actually a pretty good one.

[rjky1986]

06:41 Roman Catholics and Protestants do that in some way, shape or form all the time. If we were to take everything in Scripture absolutely literally, we would be going around with one or no hands, one or no eyes, we'd be seeing a lot more stoning of sinners going on, etc. So that was irrelevant.

[Megamacdeth]

Larry Wessels is not paying respect. That's a shame, because he is mostly correct. In a debate you listen the man out and THEN you respond. You cannot interrupt all the time.

[CAnswersTV]

@Megamacdeth Concerning "Larry Wessels is not paying respect.": This perception, although I believe you're sincere, sometimes can be distorted by the absence of background information concerning this particular debate. At some point in time we will post a radio debate on Youtube that Larry & Robert Fastiggi participated in previously to this televised debate. Dr Fastiggi & Larry had already met each other in theological media debate several times before & thus were very FAMILIAR with each other.

[Megamacdeth]

@CAnswersTV My comment is based on what I see in this clip, yes.

It would be interesting to see the entire debate and get the context. Looking forward to your post.

[nantapatt]

btw, what is having the truth without love? without gentleness and respect. gahh sorry, i'm worked up over this. 

[CAnswersTV]

@nantapatt How would you analyze Jesus' debate with the Scribes & Pharisees in Matthew 23, "But woe unto you, scribes & Pharisees, hypocrites! ... Woe unto you, ye blind guides ... ye fools & blind ...ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" Would you condemn Jesus for being full of "HATE"? How would you judge Jesus concerning his "discussion" with the moneychangers in the temple (Matt. 21:12-13, Mark 11:15)? Was Jesus hateful & unloving here? What say ye?

[nantapatt]

@CAnswersTV you're right. sorry, i overreacted a bit. i would not suggest Jesus or this brother was being hateful. what i was suggesting is that if you "cut off a person's nose, there's no point in giving them a rose to smell". what i mean by that is, a wolf this man may be, but no one is beyond redemption. if we lack the love(by love i mean respect an by respect i mean letting the person talk) the truth cant get through. that's what i mean by love. not tolerating lies but battling fairly.

[villian714]

@CAnswersTV Read the OT you will find your answer there and if you cna read the Catholic Bible its complete.

God Bless

[kooler2004]

@villian714 No where in the O.T.(the jewish cannon did not include the apocrapha they knew it was not God's word like we know today) do you find salvation being earned by works.

[CAnswersTV]

@villian714 The Catholic Bible is NOT complete & indeed contains fraudulent "holy scripture" (the Apocrypha). Indeed, the Catholic "Douay Rheims Bible" actually perverts scripture texts (see our Youtube video, "ROMAN CATHOLICISM SERIES #11: SCRIPTURE TWISTING - 20 WAYS RELIGIOUS CULTS MISREAD THE BIBLE). The Catholic Bible includes "apocryphal" books that do not belong as "holy scripture." One apocryphal book is Tobit which says Tobias used magic (liver & gall of a fish) to drive away a demon.

[kooler2004]

whole chapter of galatians 5. Good game guys read galatians 5 protestants win everytime.

[kiwichristian2009]

@kooler2004 My friend, it is not a case of "winning" or "losing". It is whether roman catholicism is in line with the Word of God. When we study the beliefs and teachings of the roman catholic organisation, we find they are all unbiblical and CONTRARY to the Word of God.

[kooler2004]

@kiwichristian2009 True I was pointing out one of the many places in scripture that refute catholicism eph 2:1-10 is another one.

[kiwichristian2009]

@kooler2004 Oh, i think the entire NT condemns and refutes catholicism! :)

[villian714]

@kiwichristian2009 I don't think it does it's just the Protestant interpretation and your pride that makes you think that way.

[kiwichristian2009]

@villian714 Wrong. the rcc says that evolution is in line with Christianity and catholics can believe in it. This is CONTRARY to the Bible. the rcc says mary was sinless. this is CONTRARY to the Bible. the rcc says confess your sins to a priest. this is CONTRARY to the Bible. the rcc says mary can save you. this is CONTRARY to the Bible. the rcc says peter was "the rock". this is CONTRARY to the Bible. The rcc murdered MILLIONS of Christians. This is CONTRARY to the Bible.

[dis00612]

@kiwichristian2009 evolution is not in line with Christianity and i AM a Catholic. The Bible tells us Mary is sinless, the Bible tells us priests can forgive sins, and we believe Mary can lead us to Christ through her prayers and Christ will lead us to the Father. The Bible says Peter was the ROCK! the Catholic Church murdered MILLIONS of Chrisitians "HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE!" Are you sinless. NO your NOT. Judge not lest YE be judged!

[CAnswersTV]

@dis00612 Evolution is a false religious myth (to see our many videos on this, type "LARRY WESSELS EVOLUTION" in the YOUTUBE search box) that contradicts the Bible but your Pope Ben XVI (Ratzinger had been in Hitler's military) & your "saint" Pope John Paul II both say the evolution myth is true (see Ratzinger's statement "God was Behind the Big Bang" - Reuters, Jan. 6, 2011). Are you saying your "popes" (2 Thess. 2:3-12) are lying false prophets? Mary was NOT sinless & your "priests" are false.

[dis00612]

@CAnswersTV Well Ima tell you this, the popes did not make infallible statements so even if how you interpreted the pope's message was true, the faithful did not have to follow it.

[CAnswersTV]

@dis00612 Since you have mentioned "popes" & "infallible statements" you may be interested to know that we have a 1 hour debate posted on YOUTUBE between a Romanist apologist & a Christian apologist (please see "IS THE ROMAN POPE WITHOUT ERROR? - PAPAL INFALLIBILITY DEBATE: JAMES WHITE VS. ROBERT FASTIGGI"). This video here is only a 10 minute clip from the full 2 hour debate, to see the full length version & other broadcasts type "LARRY WESSELS ROMAN CATHOLICISM" in the YOUTUBE search box.

[lovingyourheart4ever]

@dis00612 ...can you please quote the verse in the bible that says: "Mary is sinless, the Bible tells us priests can forgive sins"...greatly appreciated...God bless

[dis00612]

@lovingyourheart4ever Mary was FULL of grace(luke 1:28) and one cannot sin being full of grace(Rom.6:14) John 20:23 says"Whosoever sins ye remit are remitted and whose sins ye retained are retained." Jesus gave the apostles the power to forgive sins. It is Christ who forgive sins but throught the instrumentality of the priest.

[lovingyourheart4ever]

@dis00612 ..hmm..I don't think Romans 6:14 is exclusively for Mary...Full of Grace meant that Mary was the chosen one to deliver the Messiah...Again the same goes to John 20:23...the massage is not exclusively for the diciples alone...that massage applies to us too...if we believe in Christ as our Lord and Saviour, we then ought to forgive others who tresspasse againts us....If Mary was sinless, why would she need a saviour as Luke 1:47 says

[dis00612]

@lovingyourheart4ever If she was FULL of grace she could not sin and Mary is the ark of the new covenant, Pure and holy like the ark of the Old covenant. Leviticus 5:5-6 shows us that in the old testament that the priest would make and atonement for the people who have confessed their sins. They went to the priest. John 20:23 tells us that Jesus was speaking specifically to his apostles for Jesus breathed on them telling them to remit sins and to baptize.(matt.28:19) we cannot baptize people.

[CAnswersTV]

@dis00612 Go to the website BEREANBEACON ORG put together by a former Roman Catholic priest for 25 years named RICHARD BENNETT (see his latest article "Are Catholics Christians?"). In fact, type "RICHARD BENNETT ROMAN CATHOLICISM" in the YOUTUBE search box & start with his videos on Mary. See also our 16 hour RC series on YOUTUBE with former Romanist ROB ZINS (particularly show #6 on Mary & show #13 RC "priests"). Your "ark" analogy in relation to Mariolatry is false & so is your "priesthood."

[dis00612]

@CAnswersTV I will listen and watch these and i will respong back to you about these things.

[lovingyourheart4ever]

@dis00612 ..you haven't explained why did Mary need a saviour if she was sinless...Leviticus was written at the times before Christ...but when Christ died he wiped out all of the sins of the believers...and only upon the proclamation of our faith in Christ we would be set free...a priest can certainly forgive sins on the same proclamation but that does not mean that the right is exclusively given to priest only

[dis00612]

@lovingyourheart4ever Mary needed a savior for without God her savior she wouldnt have been able to be free of sin. We fell into the pit of sin and God our savior took us out but Mary did not fall into the pt instead God her savior saved her before she could fall into the pit. In Leviticus the whole practice was not taken out but the practice of animal sacrifice. I dont know what you mean about the priest only statement.

[CAnswersTV]

@dis00612 Thanks for saying in your other comment that you'd check out the videos on YOUTUBE & the website BEREANBEACON ORG of ex-Roman Catholic priest RICHARD BENNETT (type "RICHARD BENNETT ROMAN CATHOLICISM" in the YOUTUBE search box). It's obvious from your comments to "lovingourheart4ever" that you've not kept your word on that yet. Next, watch our video, "ROMAN CATHOLICISM SERIES #6: ROME'S VIRGIN MARY - QUEEN OF HEAVEN OR DOCTRINE OF DEMONS?" which deals with the Biblical Mary. Romans 3:10

[lovingyourheart4ever]

@dis00612 ..we fell into the pit of sin and Mary did not...hmm...did you witness the event or r u writing a different gospel?...because Roman 3 says all have fallen short....roman 3 did not say all but Mary have fallen....I don't understand

[lovingyourheart4ever]

@dis00612 ...Mary was free of sin but needed God to save her?...I don't get it...we all fell into the pit but Mary did not...this confuses me even more....do you mean that roman 3 says all have fallen short but Mary?...in Leviticus, all practices still apply today accept animal sacrifice...what about circumcision?...what I meant was is it only priests that have the authority to forgive sin?

[dis00612]

@lovingyourheart4ever When I said "all" i ment for the practice of confessing sins and the bible says none are righteous.(Rom.3:10) but the prayeers of a righteous man availeth much(james5:16) Luke1 tells us Zachariah and Elizabeth were righteous. In Rom.3:20 Paul is quoting from Psalm14 for he said"IT IS WRITTEN" The psalm talk about how their is no one that does good but then it starts talkin about the righteous. the ones who did no good were the unbelivers. Paul is saying the same thing.

[CAnswersTV]

@villian714 By saying "your pride" proves nothing for your case. You're simply making an accusation without proof & automatically ASSUMING that the "Protestant interpretation" is wrong without validation. Your comment is nothing more than a confused logical fallacy signifying ignorance. The "your pride" accusation was the logical fallacy known as AD HOMINEM (attacking the opponent's character rather than their argument) & your "Protestant interpretation" claim is a HASTY GENERALIZATION fallacy.

[villian714]

@kooler2004 according to your interpretation right?

[kooler2004]

@villian714 No the bible has one correct interpretation for every scripture. God has made it clear salvation is by grace through faith and not by any works(any deed that you think makes you earn salvation) eph 2:8,9.

[7rightnow]

This papist is most rude

[iotaunam1]

The Catholic Church is the True Church of Christ - the portestant sects have made up thousands of new contradictory gospels, to their own destruction. Block this if you want, but I can refute any of your heretical arguments against the True Church of Christ.

[CAnswersTV]

There's no need to block you "iotaunam1" because you have already declared what your god is & that is the Roman Catholic Church. Your unBiblical religion is dealt with both historically (see our website HISTORYCART COM) & SCRIPTURALLY (see our website BIBLEQUERY ORG) & OUR 16 hour video series(see GOOGLE VIDEO or YAHOO VIDEO & search LARRY WESSELS on their respective homepage search boxes). See also ex-Romanist priest RICHARD BENNETT's videos here on YOUTUBE. Search JAMES WHITE debates also.

[iotaunam1]

Its only a matter of time before people posting heretical videos start to block people like myslef who actually expose their man made doctrines, which are contrary to Scripture.

The websites you mention I have visited, and they merely regurgitate heretical attempts to twist the Scriptures - they have not and cannot refute the True Church of Christ. James White is likewise in error, and has been refuted on numerous occasions. Catholicism is the ONLY Truly Biblical Faith.

[CAnswersTV]

"iotaunam1" you are like the Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Nation of Islamites, Atheists, Muslims, Campbellites & a host of other religionists I debate across the 90 or so videos CANSWERSTV has on Youtube EXCEPT they can usually GIVE ME BETTER ARGUMENTS than you have so far! You sit here like a broken record & MINDLESSLY repeat the UNCONVINCING MANTRA that "Catholicism is true" yet you give NO PROOF or prove that the adversaries are wrong! I doubt you've even looked at our websites. Repent!

[iotaunam1]

I can refute any and all of your accusations against the Holy Catholic Church. Name one, and I will gladly refute it!!!

[CAnswersTV]

"iotaunam1" Romanism is a FALSE religion based on a FAKE MAN-MADE GOSPEL pretending to be real Christianity. There's a multitude of reasons this is true but for now I'll start with one: The Bible says there are "doctrines of devils" in 1 Timothy 4:1-3 including the doctrine of "forbidding to marry" yet Roman priests are "forbidden to marry" thus violating this passage. Romanist sources themselves say at least half of all Romanist priests are homosexuals (many abuse altar boys). What say ye?

[iotaunam1]

(2)

Now, to refute your lies about priestly celibacy.

This is not a doctrine or dogma of the Catholic faith, but a diciplinary matter. Priests act in persona Christi, and therefore imitate Christ Himself in being Celibate! Was Christ following a doctrine of devils?

The Verse you refer to does not condemn celibacy! It condemns those doctrines of the Gnostics and other heretics who condemn marriage and the eating of meat etc!

[CAnswersTV]

@iotaunam1 It 's always interesting to bring up a point-blank verse like 1 Timothy 4:1-3 which SAYS a doctrine of DEVILS is to "FORBID MARRIAGE" & in Romanism priests are FORBIDDEN TO MARRY & MUST BE CELIBATE then hear someone like you come up with a PHONEY EXCUSE to DANCE around the verse (Mark 7:6-13). In 1075 A.D. Pope Gregory VII declared ALL CLERICAL MARRIAGES INVALID - FIRST LATERAN COUNCIL, 1123, CANON XXI creating greatest FORCED mass divorce in history. PETER was MARRIED (Mark 1:30).

[iotaunam1]

@CAnswersTV -

I have already refuted you on this!!! The best you can do is to regurgitate your illogical arguments again. The doctrine of devils was the forbidding of all to marry!! Marriage and celibacy are both Scriptural, and Christ Himself was celibate. You therfore claim that Christ was following a "doctrine of devils" along with St Paul!

[CAnswersTV]

@iotaunam1 Incorrect again & you have violated the laws of logic by doing so. You CLAIM to "refute" 1 Timothy 4:1-3 with an out of context quote from 1 Corinthians 7:32 (IGNORING THE IMMEDIATE CONTEXT) which in logic is known as a FALSE ANALOGY. You FAILED to answer WHY Peter was MARRIED even though Jesus & Paul were not. Why is it alright for Peter to have a wife, is he exempt from Romanist rules? No one said Jesus or Paul followed the "doctrines of devils": NON SEQUITUR FALLACY in logic.

[NETRIPZ]

St Peter was married, yes, as were many other popes throughout church history. Celibacy is a discipline, not a doctrine, and the Church has the power to bind and to loose.

[CAnswersTV]

@NETRIPZ You say, "St Peter was married, yes, as were many other popes throughout church history." Then all Romanist "priests" can get MARRIED because the popes did it & the Bible puts no REQUIREMENT that a man CANNOT get married even in a position of CHURCH LEADERSHIP (1 Timothy 3:2-12). "Celibacy is a discipline"? Is this a DOCTRINE that has the power "to bind and to loose"? Who enforces this "disciple" & why? CELIBACY IS NOT A BIBLICAL COMMAND FOR CHURCH LEADERSHIP thus 1 Tim 4:1-3.

[iotaunam1]

(4)

1 COR 7:32 -" But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife, is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please God. 33 But he that is with a wife, is solicitous for the things of the world, how he may please his wife: and he is divided."

There you have it from the Scriptures. The priest is celibate as an act of:

1/ Imitation of Christ

2/ To concentrate on the Faith as Paul says in 1 Cor - so that his life is not divided.

[CAnswersTV]

@iotaunam1 I'm glad you put this up for all to see since it shows how RIDICULOUS your argument is. You need to watch our Youtube series entitled, "20 Ways the Cults Misread the Bible, The Art of Scripture Twisting." You do EXACTLY as the cults do. Here you IGNORE THE IMMEDIATE CONTEXT: 1). This passage is NOT talking about PRIESTS, 2). 1 Corinthians 7: 9 says, "LET THEM MARRY." The qualification for an ELDER or "PRIEST" is to be "THE HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE" according to Paul in 1 Timothy 3:2.

[iotaunam1]

@CAnswersTV

My answer is not ridiculous as you claim, rather it is your attempted perversion of Scripture which is ridiculous.

Catholics DO take the context into consideration which obviously you do not. All people are being addressed here, which INCLUDES Priests. I find it strange that you admitt there were priests at all, given your heresy.

[CAnswersTV]

@iotaunam1 You're huffing & puffing like the big bad wolf but all your howling about "perversion" doesn't change what the Bible clearly teaches. Peter was MARRIED (Mark 1:30), Elders, "Bishops" in the KJV, church leaders are to be "the husband of one wife" (1 Timothy 3:2); there is NO MANDATE OR REQUIREMENT that church leaders MUST BE CELIBATE (even church deacons can be married, 1 Timothy 3:10-12). I put priests in quotation marks to mock you earlier. All Christians are PRIESTS (Rev. 1:6).

[iotaunam1]

Another example of how you twist the Scriptures is when you quoted "let them marry" - while CUTTING OUT the first words of the sentence - "IF THEY DO NOT CONTAIN THEMSELVES" ! If you can't stay celibate, don't become a priest.

[CAnswersTV]

@iotaunam1 You've grasping straws. Youtube has a 500 character limit, I didn't have enough room to put the whole verse & it certainly doesn't change the validity of the Scriptural argument. 1 Corin. 7:9 reads, "But if they cannot contain, let them MARRY: for it is better to MARRY than to burn." This verse ALLOWS for MARRIAGE BY ANYONE, get it? Whether you're a church leader or not you can get MARRIED. The verse DOES NOT say a thing about "if you can't stay celibate, don't become a priest."

[iotaunam1]

@CAnswersTV

As for the "husband of one wife" part - you twist the Scriptures here yet again. This is a negative qualification. No one could become a Bishop unless he had ONLY one wife. St Paul had no wife, and he wasnt being a hypocrite. He also explained how someone who is married has to divide time between the ministry and family, further refuting your claim. This was a negative qualification in the beginning - not the ideal which later became mandatory.

[CAnswersTV]

@iotaunam1 You're the scripture twisting expert. Your "negative qualification" argument is just as bogus as your Romanist rules requiring FORBIDDING OF MARRIAGE. This argument in logic is known as the RED HERRING FALLACY. Contextually, a Christian leader is NOT REQUIRED to be MARRIED (1 Cor. 7), but if he is, let him be the "husband of one wife" (1 Timothy 3:2), get it? Because Romanism violates 1 Timothy 4:1-3 on MARRIAGE they suffer the consequences; half of Romanist priests are homosexuals.

[NETRIPZ]

The majority of the "Romanist priests" you refer to are actually not priests at all but actually invalidly ordained laymen who are working within the false Vatican II pseudo antichurch.

[CAnswersTV]

@NETRIPZ Amazing! You say Roman Catholic priests aren't "priests at all but invalidly ordained laymen" that work inside the corrupt Vatican II ANTICHURCH. Wow, what a mouthful! Not only are half of all Roman priests HOMOSEXUALS by Rome's own admission but now you come along and say the "majority" of Romanist priests are FAKES representing a FALSE PSEUDO ANTICHURCH. You're making my job EASY! My point all along has been to say Romanism is NOT Biblical & thus a COUNTERFEIT (Galatians 1:6-9).

[NETRIPZ]

The fact that a heretical false sect is now occupying Rome PROVES the authenticity of Catholicism. St Paul said that the antichrist would "sit in the temple of God". If you accept that the antichrist is coming out of Rome than you must accept that St Peter's Basillica, the heart of the Catholic Church, where antipope Ratzinger sits, is the temple of God.

[CAnswersTV]

@NETRIPZ Here you have made, according to the laws of logic, the logical fallacies of both a HASTY GENERALIZATION and a FALSE ANALOGY. You CANNOT claim Romanism is true by simply claiming "St Paul said." This proves nothing! The writings of Paul actually REFUTE Romanism (Romans 9:11-22 for example). What applies to one pope applies to another, Gregory VII to Benedict XVI.

[NETRIPZ]

The writings of St Paul do NOT refute Catholicism. False interpretations of St Paul made by Protestant heretics do. Satan himself used Scripture to tempt Christ, much in the fashion of Luther, Calvin etc. Your last comment is the real "false analogy". Gregory VII was a true pope and an orthodox Catholic, while Benny XVI is a heretic, therefore outside of the Catholic Church, therefore not a pope at all.

[CAnswersTV]

@NETRIPZ Paul certainly does refute Romanism by showing that the 7 Romanist sacraments for salvation are NOT NECESSARY for salvation. Romans 4:3-5:21, Ephesians 2:8-10, Galatians 2:16, & a host of other passages refute the Romanist sacramental system of "works righteousness." Gregory VII is just as phoney as Benny Hinn or Benny XVI because they are all apostates Biblically speaking. Greg violated Hebrews 13:4.

[kiwichristian2009]

@CAnswersTV Amen! The rcc DENY Jesus died ONCE for ALL.They DENY Jesus is our ONLY salvation.They DENY Jesus did away with the needs for priests.They DENY God forgives us of ALL sin.They DENY only God can forgive sins against God.They DENY we must worship God and God alone.They DENY God when He says "For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God"

[CAnswersTV]

@kiwichristian2009 Thanks for the insightful comment. By the way, we have finally posted this 2 hour debate in its full length form here on YOUTUBE. You can find the 2 one hour versions by typing "WESSELS FASTIGGI DOES ROMAN CATHOLICISM PREACH ANOTHER GOSPEL? DEBATE" in the YOUTUBE search box. We finally uploaded the full length versions last week on our CANSWERSTV account. Blessing to you & yours.

[NETRIPZ]

I do not say that "Roman Catholic priests are not priests at all". I am saying that those ordained in the new rite of ordination imposed by antipope Paul VI in 1968 are not Roman Catholic priests. The new rite lacks the proper form and intention of a valid sacrament.

[CAnswersTV]

@NETRIPZ Now you are a Romanist that clearly sees that Roman Catholicism is as phoney as a three dollar bill & thus it is NOT BIBLICAL but an EXPENSIVE immitation (they spend a lot of money on big buildings & fancy clothes) of what actual Biblical Christianity is. Even before Vatican II Romanism has ALWAYS been a phoney COUNTERFEIT (see our website HISTORYCART COM).

[NETRIPZ]

When Mary Magdalen washed the feet of Our Lord, Judas complained that the ointment could have been sold and the money given to the poor. This is very similar to your accusation of "spending money on big buildings and fancy clothes". There is NOTHING wrong with the use of wealth to glorify God. The temple of the Old Covenant Jews was similarly adorned.

[CAnswersTV]

@NETRIPZ Judas was a thief & had the money bag just like the Romanist cult collecting money for "indulgences" to have sins remitted & lessen the tortures of a nonexistent & fraudulent "purgatory" doctrine fabricated Romanist "Judases." Romanism is a perfect way to spiritually & materially "ripoff" its deceived followers. Romanism is OT churchianity.

[NETRIPZ]

I'm not sure what you mean by "OT churchanity". It is true that Roman Catholicism is the fufillment of Old Testament Judaism. The Old Covenant had temple sacrifice; the New Covenant has the Cross, which is made manifest in the Sacrifice of the Mass.

[CAnswersTV]

@NETRIPZ If you are not sure what I mean then simply go to our 16 hour series on Roman Catholicism posted on either GOOGLE VIDEO or YAHOO VIDEO (put LARRY WESSELS in the search box on their respective homepages) & particularly watch the very first show in that series. We explain how Roman Catholicism is not New Testament Christianity but rehashed Old Testament religiosity using New Testament terms to deceive its followers.

[reformedman]

What a bad representation by this obnoxious, arrogant and popous christian. Better effect is made by a humble representation of scripture without so much jovial sarcasim.

[CAnswersTV]

"Reformedman" I found your comment to be obnoxious, arrogant & popous! Just who do you think you are to appoint yourself judge & jury to make such a popous remark? Haven't you ever read 1 Corinthians 13? Where's the love? Why don't you behave like meek & mild Jesus did in Matthew 23 when He was dialoguing with the religiously sincere Pharisees? Why can't you be more like the lovey Apostle Paul when he spoke kindly to Elymas in Acts 13:9-12 or the Judaizers about castration in Galatians 5:12?

[reformedman]

So you honestly don't see any problem with his attitude? he is interrupting just fine? he is laughing in sarcasm without any arrogance? everything seems normal to you?

8O

and no, I don't love arrogance and neither did Paul or our Lord Jesus.

[CAnswersTV]

"Holier than Thou" REFORMEDMAN it is obvious that you need to "reform" your way of thinking to a Biblical pattern & try to read the Bible rather than give us your unScriptural remarks. You make comments about Jesus & Paul right after you were refuted by Jesus in Matthew 23 & Paul in Acts 13:9-12 & Paul's "castration" sarcasm in Galatians 5:12. Talk about a blind man, that's you! Your arrogance is astounding! What do you think of Elijah's sarcasm in 1 Kings 18:27? Does Elijah fail your test?
