@SukugamiTaiichi @extranosky @rickbrennanjr protestantism is without historical roots or justification. You won’t find anyone 1,000 years ago who believed what you believe

@Diglettdig229 @extranosky @rickbrennanjr Truth bears all scrutiny? I love scrutiny btw that's why I apostated the Roman Catholic church. Can we scrutinize the assumption of Mary in the early church? Oh Fr Juniper Carol did that in his book Mariology with nihil obstat. You're not gonna like his historical conclusions :)

Roman Catholics often ask those Protestants who left Catholicism why we believe Rome teaches a different gospel. The issue is not that Catholics say nothing true. The issue is that Rome has bound the conscience of Christians to doctrines and practices that go beyond Scripture, distort the finished work of Christ, and obscure the peace and assurance of the gospel.
Here are some of the Roman Catholic teachings most Protestants reject as false:
The Assumption of Mary.
The Immaculate Conception of Mary.
Mary as Queen of Heaven.
Mary as Mediatrix or Co-Redemptrix in any meaningful sense.
Prayer to Mary and the saints.
The veneration of relics.
The use of images in devotion in ways that function like religious invocation.
Papal infallibility.
The infallibility of the Roman Magisterium.
The claim that Rome is the one true Church in a way that excludes faithful Protestant churches.
The claim that the pope is the visible head of the whole Church.
The claim that bishops in communion with Rome possess unique apostolic succession necessary for the fullness of the Church.
The sacrificial understanding of the Mass.
The idea that priests have power to make Christ substantially present on the altar at every Mass.
Transubstantiation.
Eucharistic adoration.
The withholding of the cup from the laity as a historical practice.
The claim that baptism regenerates ex opere operato.
The sacrament of penance as necessary for restoration after mortal sin.
Priestly absolution as a judicial act that remits sin.
The distinction between mortal and venial sin as Rome defines it.
Purgatory.
Indulgences.
The treasury of merit.
The application of the merits of Mary and the saints to other believers.
The idea that justification includes infused righteousness as the ground of acceptance before God.
The denial of justification by faith alone.
The denial that the imputed righteousness of Christ is sufficient for the believer’s standing before God.
The claim that final justification is based, in part, on Spirit-wrought works as the believer’s righteousness before God.
The idea that grace can be lost and regained through the sacramental system.
The claim that Scripture and unwritten tradition together form one binding deposit interpreted infallibly by Rome.
The claim that the Apocrypha belongs to the Old Testament canon.
The dogmatic authority of later Marian doctrines that are absent from Scripture.
The claim that the Roman Church can define dogma that all Christians must believe even when that doctrine lacks clear biblical warrant.
This is why I remain Protestant. The Reformation was not a rebellion against grace. It was a recovery of grace. It was not a rejection of the Church. It was a call for the Church to submit again to the Word of God that teaches: Christ alone is the mediator; Scripture alone is the final authority; Grace alone saves; Faith alone receives Christ, and God alone receives the glory.

@tapiae23 @TejasRanger1836 And who did God use to determine Biblical canon? It doesn’t come with a table of contents.

@rickbrennanjr @extranosky @SukugamiTaiichi The historical record is crystal clear. We just have people like you running around pretending that your Bible interpretation is equally important to simple facts anyone can verify.
English

@Diglettdig229 @extranosky @SukugamiTaiichi Don’t you think that if the historical record was as clear as you suggest that we’d have complete agreement on everything?
English

@SukugamiTaiichi @extranosky @rickbrennanjr Nah. Increased literacy is what’s drawing so many people out of protestantism to the Church. Truth bears all scrutiny. And the facts are always on our side.
English

Roman Catholicism will also be destroyed by the age of information. You have to deal with relic frauds and these weird encounters with saints for example Saint Bernard drinking Mary's milk or the other prophet (I guess she was called Catherine) or whatever she was that sucked Jesus' nipples. Or this famous book of Tucho Fernandez, the prefect of the dicastery of the doctrine of the faith which was previously known as the inquisition, on how to kiss and other erotic books. And many other paraphilic behaviors. You also have the SSPX drama which can lead to excommunication in 2026. The German RCC wanting to allow same sex marriages and female priests.
Yes, I hope those facts and many more are also in your favor.
English

@IFBased @needGod_net Have fun interpreting the Book we gave you
English

@Diglettdig229 @needGod_net Just proves that you’re an idiot who would never get saved
English

@extranosky @SukugamiTaiichi @rickbrennanjr Proof? Just look at recorded history. It’s always on our side. You didn’t exist until 500 years ago
English

What is your proof of that? Self attestation is not evidence. The same w self-assertion. You condemn us as not knowing Jesus but your faith is not in him but in your membership. God has a curse on those whose faith is in other than Him, Jer 17:5. Just look at in what you glory? Not in Christ.
English

@BaptistBen316 I asked a question. Are you Jewish? Should be easy to answer.
English

@Diglettdig229 You slandered me earlier and therefore I have nothing more to say to you.
English

@SukugamiTaiichi @extranosky @rickbrennanjr protestantism will be destroyed by the age of information. The facts are always on our side. You can play semantics, but it doesn’t matter. Christ only founded one Church. And we are it.
English

I guess that's all you can say.
Historical Christianity is a wide term for you. There are the Eastern and Oriental churches. Even inside Roman Catholicism there's great divide between between SSPX and modernists.
You also get to choose if you like Vatican II or not. And because of your behavior, I guess you don't choose to respect Vatican II. What differentiates you from Protestants? The label because the behavior you're calling us out for you're also showing it.
English

@factsnofeels @BaptistBen316 I have no idea how anyone could be proud of America at this point. We are arguably the greatest evil in the world.
English

@BaptistBen316 So the shallow pudddle is Protestantism wasn’t strong enough to keep false religions from permeating then. Also not strong enough to stop America from allowing the murder of millions of babies and rampant sodomy. We even export our sin to the entire world.
English

@tapiae23 @TejasRanger1836 “All the Catholics did was recognize it” 🤣 we canonized it. Cope.
English

@TejasRanger1836 @Diglettdig229 all the catholics did was recognize it. they didnt give us anything. and also they added the apocrypha during luthers time to spite him lmao
English

@4ev3rmore @IpityDaFuhl @TejasRanger1836 It’s happening right now. Bye bye protestantism. Let’s watch it go extinct together. 😎 🍿
English

@Diglettdig229 @IpityDaFuhl @TejasRanger1836 Well you're not going to loser. You're just a faggot troll.
English

@4ev3rmore @IpityDaFuhl @TejasRanger1836 Nah. I’d rather stay here and erase protestantisms last stronghold. We’ll make a better America.

English

@SolomonAdekale @TejasRanger1836 @grok So you do the make it up as you see fit American religion gotcha. Have fun in your church of 1. It dies with you. I prefer the Church Christ founded.
English

@Diglettdig229 @TejasRanger1836 @grok I’m a non-denominational Protestant | Reformed Evangelical. My roots are in both High Church and Low Church forms of Protestantism and I have a respect for both as they have their strengths and shortcomings.
TheeKingSolomon (E,E) a.k.a Soloshi Adekamoto@SolomonAdekale
I’m not Pentecostal. The tradition Im referring to is the real version of what Pentecostals and charismatics will sometimes caricature and its native to Nigeria. Many understand how powerful it is and we are well known for what we do. If You Know You Know. We have our rituals and divination (same as Moses) that allow us to speak directly to Christ. Never used the Eucharist for that although I believe it’s a viable way to experience Christ (just not cannibalism). I claim both the Celestian tradition and Evangelical one as they both shaped my Christianity and immense love for Christ. And both have an origin in Protestantism.
English

@SteveHylan55254 @rickbrennanjr Sounds made up. I bet you were never Catholic
English

That's an ignorant statement (and is, as Rick Brennan suggests, based on Catholic arrogance). When I initially left the Catholic Church, I found it harder because I was used to living within regimen of rules (and gradations of sin, mortal and venial) and "father" was always giving sermons about being good.
I was like the rich young man who came to Jesus in Matthew 19 - "All these I have kept. What do I still lack?"
The rich young man went away sorrowful, but I trusted in Jesus' word, and I realised that Jesus came to give us Life to the full, not what I had been served up for 30+ years.
English

@tolepainter56 @rickbrennanjr protestantism has led millions of simple people into heresy and self obsession. It is an enemy of Christ.
English

@Diglettdig229 @rickbrennanjr Wow...just because you left the Protestant church doesn't mean you found the "real thing" when you joined Catholicism. You must love all the additional pomp and circumstance. Lol
English

@4ev3rmore @IpityDaFuhl @TejasRanger1836 You mean the country you founded on enlightenment humanism? The one now controlled by jews and run by pedophiles? Congrats. The fruits of protestantism.
English

@Diglettdig229 @IpityDaFuhl @TejasRanger1836 But you're exactly like muzzies, commies, dots and all the rest who think you're going to take over my country, that is amazing because it was built by Protestants. Get out!
English

@IpityDaFuhl @4ev3rmore @TejasRanger1836 lol we’re doing just fine. In less than a century your beliefs won’t even exist anymore. But we’ll continue on forever. Here’s to 2,000 more years 🍻
English

@Diglettdig229 @4ev3rmore @TejasRanger1836 And it isn’t working out too well. 🤷 paganism will not conquer l. Jesus does.
English

@TejasRanger1836 The difference is the Church conducted an internal investigation and spent hundreds of millions of dollars fixing the problem. Your American politicians will continue raping kids and worshipping israel until the US finally falls.
English

@Diglettdig229 @TejasRanger1836 @grok I’m proudly Protestant. Hell are you talking about lol we’re gonna take over Christendom and there’s nothing you can do about it
