  • apologies, I forgot...dominus vobiscum

  • very interesting!

  • How can you quote Tertullian saying "this practice is not commanded by a formal law of scripture", and then try poorly to interpret scripture that is talking about a sign in the sky in the end times? Read Mark 7:1-9.

  • Corrupted by Saints, Which is stronger? Scriptures or Saints(human)? Excuse me, You believe in history? They are mostly have been staged and changed! Tradition Vs Scriptures? Come on!!! He died for us on the cross, but you are selling him for these Saints.

  • @rEsonansDx The Catholic Church wrote the New Testament of Jesus Christ. Before this, it was just a Church Tradition told orally from one generation to the next. Protestants are Bible worshipers because they worship their OWN interpretations of what this Catholic document said! Your ego causes you to worship ink on a page, turning it into your own Personal version of Jesus.

    Unfortunately, it is not the authentic Jesus. He can only be fully found in His holy Catholic Church.

  • @Ohgod89 tell me where you got that phrase in the bible then i'll believe you... but,,, who wrote the bible? god and the apostles? who is god? jesus? so when jesus died on the cross, he said something to god, then he is lunatic because he's talking to himself..

  • @bornofGodalone what are Protestants? Bible worshipper? But isn't worshipping the Bible is the same was worshipping statues? I wonder why God would instruct the Hebrews to construct "idols" on the ark of covenant

  • @rEsonansDx so you don't believe in the atonement of Christ and that He died on the Cross to save everyone, and that Jesus said specifically "If you wish to follow me, pick up my cross"? Your argument that Jesus did not do the sign of the cross and ergo we shouldn't is nonsensical. Jesus did not pray to the Holy Spirit, read the New Testament, prayed to Himself. Should we also stop praying to Jesus, to the Holy Spirit, and read the New Testament?
