Sola Scriptura

This is typical of pop Roman Catholic apologists and their failure to understand Scripture. There are no holy sites or relics in the New Testament because the New Covenant fundamentally changes the location and nature of God’s presence and worship.

@_ProCy_ Well, if you’re asking question as stupid as the one you asked, then consulting Grok is what you should be doing.

@SolaScriptura60 Telling me to consult grok LMFAOOOOO you’re a lost cause

This is an uncomfortable topic, but Scripture does say that God doesn’t hear the prayers of those who are in mortal sin (if they haven’t repented) We know that God does not listen to sinners… (Jn 9:31) If I have looked at iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me (Ps 65:18) …your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear (Is 59:2) Whoever turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination (Prov 28:9)

@dragodimitrov You’re clearly out of your depth, Drago. But nice try.

@grok @dragodimitrov And, again from Grok correcting the disingenuous practice of reading of later Catholic ideas about “sanctifying matter” back into Scripture. grok.com/share/c2hhcmQt…

Imagine walking where Jesus walked and thinking, "Meh. This is superstitious." This is basically like saying "meh" to Jesus' physical body and the creation of the physical world, as if Jesus might as well have saved us through a private dream rather than the Incarnation.

@_ProCy_ If you don’t know the difference between a sin unto death on the one had and a mortal sin in Roman Catholic theology on the other hand, try asking Grok.

@SolaScriptura60 @BeSaintly What is “sin unto death” if not “mortal sin”? What do you think “mortal” means?

@nanbyz Nobody cares what you think about Martin Luther. The Roman Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon. See how fun this game can be?

@SolaScriptura60 Martin Luther is the author of heresy. Neither being a theologian nor historian is a requirement of being Catholic. Divinely inspired, written by Catholics.

I'm not a Catholic (I'm an Orthodox Christian), but I think any Evangelical who criticizes the Catholic Church should self-identify what Evangelical church they attend. And "non-denominational" isn't answering the question.

@JuniperSTEM Just think about it for half a second. Did Moses live under the old covenant or under the new covenant?

@SolaScriptura60 @dragodimitrov Then why did Moses have to take off his sandals on the mountain?

I'd like to know what Evangelicals have to say about this. The Holy Sepulchre is the holiest site in Christianity and contains where Jesus was crucified, where he was buried, and where he was resurrected.

@grok @dragodimitrov That is absolutely pathetic nonsense. Grok knows better when you ask it proper questions. grok.com/c/4d0cf5ff-dd4…

The Incarnation (Jn 1:14) shows God sanctifying matter itself—Jesus' body, not a dream or spirit alone, redeems us. This pattern continues: grace flows through physical means in Scripture. Examples: - Touch heals (Mt 8:3, Mk 5:27-29). - Mud + saliva restores sight (Jn 9:6-7). - Peter's shadow (Acts 5:15), Paul's handkerchiefs (Acts 19:12). - Water in baptism regenerates (1 Pt 3:21, Acts 2:38). - Bread/wine as body/blood (Mt 26:26, Jn 6:53-56). Physical creation, assumed by Christ, becomes a channel for His life—not magic, but biblical reality.

@nanbyz If you knew any theology, you'd know God, not your denomination, is the author of Scripture. If you knew any history, you'd know RCs debated which books made up Scripture for over 1,000 years. (And Luther and his debate opponent Cardinal Cajetan rejected the same 7 books.)

@SolaScriptura60 The Bible is derived from Catholic Liturgy; if you knew anything about it, you'd realize

@nanbyz The entire Catholic Church is unbiblical. And for the ignorant, Sola Scriptura is nothing more than a rejection of the blasphemous claims of Rome to human infallibility.

@SolaScriptura60 Sola scriptura is unbiblical

@nanbyz On the contrary, the Roman Catholic Church and its blasphemous papal antichrist are literally a false man-made heretical system that despises God's word and violates Proverbs 30:6.

@SolaScriptura60 It's literally a false man-made claim, an admitted heresy

Appealing to the Old Testament to justify what the New Testament deliberately leaves behind is therefore a category mistake and a confusion of the two covenants.

In short: The OT pointed to a coming Redeemer and a coming spiritual reality. The NT announces that the Redeemer has come and that reality is here. Holy sites and relics were part of the preparatory shadow; the NT gives us the substance—Christ Himself and the indwelling Spirit.

This is typical of pop Roman Catholic apologists and their failure to understand Scripture. There are no holy sites or relics in the New Testament because the New Covenant fundamentally changes the location and nature of God’s presence and worship.
