Every 15 minutes, someone dies in a drink driving accident. The coloring photos are a reenactment, no one was harmed in the main of this scene.

@BillArnoldTeach To some degree, yes. I think guide rails are important. Creeds and confessions are important. But I take issue when the authority makes dogma issues that have no business being dogma. I know what question comes next, but I'll wait for it.

@Elefjohnson If Scripture is the final authority, why are there thousands of conflicting interpretations? Final authority without a final interpreter is chaos.

You say “Bible alone” But the Bible never says that Problem

@EricMFriel @antepedium Ok. So fairly, what would be the capacity of Heavenly Saint at any one time? I didn't expect you to answer that. The point of that no matter what limit you set, it's either way too small, or ridiculous that a finite being would be capable.

1. Onnipresence is the logical consequence of both omniscience and omnipotence manifest in the same being. It is not relevant here, just food for thought. 2. Omniscience would mean to be of infinite capacity related to being all knowing. While hearing the prayers of millions or even trillions or quadrillions is immense, it is nonetheless finite. Thus, it would not require omniscience.

The saints are not dead but that is no reason to believe they possess omniscience or are capable of hearing us and bringing our prayers to God’s ears (who doesn’t need them anyway).

@PopeDefendersX Christian. They would all be Christian Christianity is bigger then the Roman brand.

Yes, everyone in heaven is Catholic. What would they even be protestant of?

@ViiiZachary @antepedium

@antepedium The saints are certainly praying for *us* as the whole church body though.

@kingofthehood89 @antepedium You would, out omnipresence. How else would they receive all those prayers ask at once.

@antepedium You don’t need omniscience for that. What a ridiculous argument

@EricMFriel @antepedium That's exactly why I don't pray to them. Unless they had some kind of omniscience or omnipresence there is no way they could hear the prayers of millions at a time.

@antepedium It is not Catholic Doctrone to believe that Saints are omniscient. In fact, it would contradict Catholic doctrine.

@MrCasey62 And yet they do every Sunday in Protestant Churches. And you knew what? It's valid, impactful, and effectual twords sanctification and a right relationship with Jesus. Your validation isn't necessary.

Protestant “priests” CAN’T “administer” the Eucharist. They don’t even know what the Eucharist IS. You can keep your “unity”. Catholics don’t need it.

@AnsweringRCs @swamthetiber25 I can see an argument that they pray for us in Heaven. This can be supported in Revelation easily enough. What I can't find is support for petitioning them. And to do so send like it would require attributes of God, otherwise they wouldn't be able to respond to everyone.

@swamthetiber25 There is no Scripture in support of your pontificating that those who have died on earth pray for us in heaven. Or that we are ask them to pray for us. That is merely man-made religion.

We are prohibited from obtaining information from the dead. If anything, we are giving them information. They pray for us because they are part of the communion of saints. Being in heaven doesn’t make them less so.

@5Solas2 I'm not sure what he's wrong about here. Do you believe God dictated the Bible?

This is your brain on molinism. This is what happens when you desperately try and make man sovereign. Verbal plenary inspiration is the biblical model. This middle knowledge version he just explained is foolishness.

@Steevo36 @iowancapreborn In all fairness to Mormons, most missionaries are kids right out of high school. Those regions are extremely dangerous. If I were LDS, I'd have a difficult time letting my child go to one of those countries.

@iowancapreborn How's come they don't send missionaries to Muslim countries?

Mormons be like, "We're all Christians, man, why are we fighting." But also keep showing up at our doors trying to convert us.

@GringoPapist Maybe But here's what learning Church history has taught me. For the past 2,000 years, Christianity has worked like a tide. Sometimes the tide is high, sometimes it's low, but it's always there, and always will be.

Mainline Protestants can cope all they want but I would wager that their denominations will be virtually extinct within a century.

@UcheMaryOkoli Why does every Pope take a picture like this? His head is down and he's looking up to the camera with his eye. It creates a creepy effect.

Look at Pope LeoXIV's eyes! He's ADORABLE!!!!! Habemus Papam, guys! He's such an American 😍. 🇺🇸

@In_awe_of_God Exactly. The picture is clearly Jesus bearing the sins of Edmund, and the witch taking the role of Satan.

@Elefjohnson Also I don’t think that Narnia is really against PSA. It is Aslan taking the punishment for Edmunds fault on himself. The witch isn’t the one who has captured either one of them but rather acts as the accuser (and executor) here.

How about All of them?!:)

@BillArnoldTeach Michael?

If you don’t believe in this… you’re not ready for what it fights.

@Xtopher_Uzo No, it's just a new version of the Aryan heresy, and it's been around a lot longer then Martin Luther 🤦‍♂️

Jehovah’s Witnesses believe Jesus is NOT God. That’s the ripple effect of Martin Luther. Once you break from the Church and say “Scripture alone + me alone,” you eventually open the door to every wild interpretation. Luther must be chilling somewhere with his lord and master - the prince of darkness, division and confusion.

@GringoPapist I thought y'all stopped doing that?

Remember no meat today! :)

If you are not a catholic, you are not a true Christian

@Ritualist_06 Who hates Mary?

How can you claim you Love God and you hate his mother Mary. Does this make sense to you?
