Fake Christianity: God loves me, so I can do what I want. Real Christianity: God loves me, so I do what he says.

@laughinglionl, you’ll never convince Daniel of anything. Protestants like him make it up as they go because they can. They liberally apply eisegesis to the texts because they are their own authority and have foundations of sand. How many Protestant Churches are there now? They can’t even agree amongst themselves, except for “Catholic bad”. Knock the dust from your sandals my friend.

🤦‍♂️ because you think it does not make it so. The first 16 centuries are emphatically not on your side and you have no proof to back up your implications and the early Church was without a doubt historically Catholic and nothing else. Trying to use Jerome, who lived and died a professed Catholic and faithful priest as a singular argument to somehow undermine all of Catholicism is a joke. Of course, men argued about various topics in the church. They were men and had different opinions from time to time. But the difference is in Christ true Church there was always an authority to settle the differences and maintain the unity in the church that Christ prayed for and the apostles demanded. Protestants on the other hand when they disagree just start a new church. How many Protestant churches are there now who could possibly count?

@taco_talks Taco-Talks is definitely all talk and all profit. This is the basement level of Protestantism.

Your claim is wishful thinking at best. You cannot back it up. “A common claim in some Protestant apologetics is that Jerome and Luther held essentially the same views on Scripture. This is historically inaccurate. Jerome (c. 347–420), while preferring the Hebrew canon in his scholarly work, translated the deuterocanonical books for the Vulgate at the Church’s request and accepted their use in the liturgy and teaching. He remained a priest in full communion with the Catholic Church, defended apostolic Tradition, episcopal authority, the real presence in the Eucharist, and the veneration of saints and relics. Luther, by contrast, placed the deuterocanonical books in an appendix, rejected papal authority, promoted sola scriptura as the sole infallible rule, and broke with the Catholic Church. Jerome operated entirely within the patristic framework of Tradition + Scripture under episcopal oversight; Luther did not.”

Oh, there were definitely disagreements in the early church. And those disagreements were handled through dialogue and councils and not by is mom here one person like Martin Luther and pretty much every protestant pastor. Jerome initially disagreed on this topic, but then he conceded in the end. Jerome died a professed Catholic and would’ve considered taco and absolute heretic. The Church is not what you have been told. “Jerome exemplified a scholar who exercised critical judgment and linguistic expertise while submitting to ecclesiastical commissions and tradition. Any tensions (for example, with Augustine over translation methodology) were resolved within the bonds of communion and did not constitute disobedience or doctrinal dissent. The Church has recognized him as a saint and Doctor of the Church precisely for this fidelity.”

Because Grok always tries to give a neutral response to a fault. And there’s pretty much nothing that a Catholic could say on this channel that anybody would actually listen to. “No, it is not likely that an individual reading the Bible in isolation would arrive at precisely the same conclusions as the apostles (as recorded in Acts) and the early Christian Fathers through the 16th century. While Scripture serves as the foundational and inspired authority for Christian faith, the historical record demonstrates that the apostles and subsequent Church leaders interpreted it within a broader framework of apostolic tradition, communal discernment, and conciliar authority. An isolated reading—without this interpretive context—tends to yield diverse or incomplete understandings, as evidenced by both patristic writings and later historical developments.”

@sarahcstock I’d like to recommend this book by Elizabeth Goudge on one of Christ’s greatest saints, for your first Lent. It is a wonderful read and, in my humble opinion, should be read by all new to or investigating Christ’s One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. Reading about the lives of the saints is a great way to understand true Christianity.

@grok Taco claims to have the correct interpretation of scripture, the Bible specifically. He’s far from the first to make or imply this claim. Is he correct, historically? How can we know that his interpretations or others are fully in line with the teachings of Christ and His Apostles when there are so many variations?

@taco_talks @grok historically, Acts of the Apostles through the 16th century, is taco’s teaching that water baptism is not necessary for salvation correct?

@taco_talks @grok @grok but does scripture, Christ, Peter, Paul, and the other contributors clearly state scripture is clear on the essentials? And what are the essentials? And who decides what the essentials are? And if it’s so clear, why so many denominations and disagreements?

@taco_talks @grok @grok So how do sola scriptura Christians know they are interpreting scripture as Christ and his Church intended?

@taco_talks @grok The end of Protestantism begins with the new Protestant religion taco-ism which preaches nonsensical, ahistorical tacology 🌮. So grab one of his t-shirts while you still can.

@taco_talks @Grok Approximately how many Protestant churches or denominations (historically or currently) would fundamentally disagree with @taco_talks’ core theology on eternal security, Free Grace, and the necessity of works/sanctification?
