The True Texan American

@DarthAV8R @JamesDueck If protestant to you is anyone who isnt RCC, and Catholic is only people who are RCC, then there is no talking because we cant agree on definitions. No, Mormons arent because they follow a false Christ.

@TheTrueTA @JamesDueck I don’t see how citing a group that claims to be Catholic but isn’t proves anything. They’re just another sect protesting the authority and magisterium of the RCC (aka Protestants). Do you think Mormons are Christians just because they claim to be?

Catholics: We need to restore Christian unity. Protestants: Yeah, everyone should get back to the Bible, especially Catholics. Catholics: Great. How do you propose we coordinate that? Protestants: 😤 🙄 😩 😡

@DarthAV8R @JamesDueck You calling them protestants shows you don't know what a protestant is. Based on your definition is the Orthodox church protestant?

@DarthAV8R @JamesDueck 1.) The church trying to kill him werent escalating anything? 2.) Yep. Proves my point exactly.

@TheTrueTA @JamesDueck 1. Luther escalated his rebellion over years, making reconciliation impossible. Council of Trent condemned/corrected the abuses he complained about, but Luther left no room for unity. 2. The OCC ordains women and is not in communion with RCC. Might as well be Lutherans.

@ShaneSchaetzel Yall dont. No one says evangelicals can. You have one man dictate your beliefs. Debating the Bible should be something done though. What is wrong with Israel existing?

Catholics should not allow Christian Zionists (mostly Evangelicals) to dictate what Catholics can and cannot believe, regarding the identity of Israel (The Church), Bible prophecy or anything else.

@ldsfilmguy Jesus didnt physically appear in China. Doesnt mean he was ignoring China.

The fact that other Christian sects think Jesus and Heavenly Father would just ignore half of the earth they created is mind boggling to me. 🤷

@BillArnoldTeach Good thing I, nor really anyone except for Mormons believe that.

If the Church was wrong for 1,500 years, you don’t have Christianity.

@DarthAV8R @JamesDueck Using different words doesnt change the meaning. Not all are in perfect communion with Rome. Again, like my "Old Catholic Church" example.

@TheTrueTA @JamesDueck There are different rites in Catholicism, but they are all in communion with Rome. Much different than Protestant denominations.

@DarthAV8R @JamesDueck You are making 2 assumptions. 1.) The Reformers had a choice. They were forced out of the church. 2.) Assuming that other new branches didnt form under catholism. The "Old Catholic Church" as an example. They volenteerly left and created a new "Catholic" branch.

@TheTrueTA @JamesDueck This is not accurate because there are tons of Catholics who disagree about Vatican II for example, but we don’t just reject the entire RCC and start a new one. We submit to Tradition, authority & Magisterium of the Church started by Jesus and continues via Apostolic Succession.

@DarthAV8R @JamesDueck Especially when there are other "Catholic" denominations claiming to be the true one over the RCC, and the great schism before the Reformation.

@DarthAV8R @JamesDueck The Catholic church wasnt trying to settle things in councils anymore. Instead of listening to what you admit were legitimate complaints by the Reformers, they were forced out of the church, and the church tried to kill them. Again, the "split" isnt all on the Protestant.

@DarthAV8R @JamesDueck Yes, I can say my Reformers had ideas that were wrong. We dont believe in the infalibility of a man. If you want unity, just like what needs to be done with the Othodox branch, there must be compromise. Cause neither will completely conform to the other.

@DarthAV8R @JamesDueck The fact that nearly the entire protestant branch believes she wasnt a forever virgin, and wasnt completely sinless, shows that the Maryology Dogmas have an effect in why the branches are split today. Just like the RCC changed over time, so did the Protestant branches.

If Protestant means "Anti-Catholic protest." Then Feminism actually does mean equality. Antifa actually are anti-fascist. Black Lives Matters actually cares about black lives and Pro-Choicers really do care about choice.

@JamesDueck @DarthAV8R You are reinstating the lie that Protestants are anti-catholic based on name alone. Again, no Protestant came up with the name.

@JamesDueck @DarthAV8R Nice job addressing the points presented. You added so much to the conversation.

@DarthAV8R @JamesDueck Your worldview and faith. The Mary dogmas are a big reason for the split. Do you deny that reality?

@DarthAV8R @JamesDueck Trying to say we are all "good as long as they are Catholic" doesnt work either. Mormonism, JW's and unitarianism are the ones not okay. Catholicism is a legitimate form of Christianity. If countering your claims by using actual history is anti-catholic, you need to reevaluate
