Why do you hate Protestants so much? It's a miracle Luther escaped with his life for his faith in Christ alone.

[paleocrat]

I don't hate Protestants. Most of my family and friends are Protestants. I just strongly disagree with their adherence to various heresies and refusal to return to the Church Christ established.

As for Luther, he was a hypocrite as well as a heretic. Then again, his religious beliefs would be seen by most modern Protestants as heretical... for being too Catholic. Calvin and Luther wouldn't even recognize 99% of modern Protestants or their theology.

The Catholic doctrin is false. The Protestant way is the right way.

[paleocrat]

There is no such thing as "The Protestant Way." You guys have almost as many denominations as stars in the sky, and each one is filled with people with different interpretations.

The Magdalene Sisters. The slave launderies, run by the catholic nuns, everybody in ireland knows what happened there they sold the unmarried mothers babies off to rich americans the vatican has denied this ans classed it as slander, but its funny catholics i know have even commented on how cruel they where to them or is this all lies

The Church did recognize the possible (if not probable) abuses there in L'Osservatore Romano. Do your homework. Regardless, you are punishing the Catholic Church as an institution (as well as its beliefs) on the account of isolated incidents by isolated individuals. This is a logical fallacy to the extreme. Blurring the subject-object distinction doesn't play well, and if consistently applies would result in your condemning pretty much everything. People, family, medicine, schooling, gov't, etc.

TU es Petrus. TU!!!! Not "we" or "many people" but THOU art Peter. Upon this Rock I will build MY Church. End of.

Father Corapi put it best when he said:

"You protestants try to seperate the head from the Body" You can't separate Christ from his Body that's spiritual decapitation, and divorce. Christ is God, God is married to the Church, Christ can't die, he already died, who dies? You die. That simple.

@pegcage You are correct, Jesus is Lord. But your problem is not so much with what the Catholic Church TEACHES, but with how the men who RAN the Church in the Middle Ages acted.

The Catholic Church long ago apologized for its misdeeds in the Medieval Period. Men are, unfortunately, sinful persons who sometimes do evil things, even if well intentioned.

The entire 500 year history of the Protestant Revolt speaks to this sad fact.

@drdst17 Jesus is Lord. Christ lives within the Christian by His Spirit and leads him into all truth. God is Love. God never led an institution to burn people at the stake for disagreeing with man's tradition. You are saying that God gave the CatholicChurch authority to teach, and then gave them authority to force that teaching on others, the penalty for disobeying being a horrible death. This makes God a monstrous tyrant, not the loving Father that Jesus taught.

@pegcage Your first statement is utterly ridiculous. Men are sinful, but the teaching of the Church is infallible because JESUS SAID SO.

And if you read Matthew 16, the entirety of it: Jesus DOES found the Church on St. Peter. You have no right to take it out of context and say that He was NOT addressing Peter - you have NO authority to do so!

The Church is founded upon St. Peter - an indisputable fact.

You can still convert to the Truth, however. I will pray for you that you do so soon.

[pegcage]

@drdst17 Jesus would have never endorsed a church that fostered the Spanish inquisition and tortured people who demanded their right to know God for themselves. As far as His building His church on Peter, He is building His church on no Man but Himself.That is why the gates of hell cannot prevail! He is building His church on the same kind of revelation Peter received, which is personal revelation of a personal Saviour. Sorry. We will never agree on this.

[drdst17]

@pegcage This is a completely erroneous opinion and is utterly anti-biblical. Did Jesus come to the Apostles and give them a book to worship? Did Christ command his Apostles to write down everything he said and make it into a book?

No! He instructed them personally, and was a visible teacher to them! Christ established the Catholic Church upon St. Peter in Matthew 16:18 to CONTINUE this visible instruction in our world!

It was the Catholic Church who first compiled the Gospels in the Blble

[pegcage]

The truth is and remains that no born again believer needs a man to teach him, because his teacher is God. This is Scripture (1 John) and it is truth. The

Spirit of Christ who indwells believers leads them into all truth. Jesus is not using man's religion to build His temple (His church.) He is using the Holy Spirit Who indwells believers. No pope, Catholic or Protestant, can usurp this.

Catholicism will not save you. Even boasting in protestantism all your life will not save you. The Bible, the book about Jesus of Nazareth is all that is needed to be saved. I don't need to live in theology land for 30 years or listen to a pope to know that. In fact, no one needs a pope, bishop or priest to understand the Bible.

Very interesting video Paleocrat. Are you a convert to catholicism from another christian denomination?

[havock89]

@redletterchurch The church would never want rebellion. every. It is the tool of the devil. The church even allied itself with warlords in an effort to create peace to save the suffering of the average person who's life was hell on earth with roaming bands of marauders. this led to the stabilization of europe.
