@DarkPLUNKI3 With comments like this, you are not beating the allegations.

The word "pope" does not appear in the Bible for Peter. Irenaeus is not in the Bible. Eusebius is not in the Bible. These people think you're retarded. Read the Word and find out how retarded they truly are

@HwsEleutheroi It is indeed amazing. Thanks for the suggestion.

I read an utterly amazing "prayer" on the DL recently, the "Litany of Loreto." Often Christians think that such prayers, which barely acknowledge Father, Son, and Spirit, but are focused upon Mary instead, are "fringe" or "extreme." Fact is, they are normal in Romanism, and in EOism as well. How mainstream? Here is the prayer I read as it is found on...the Vatican's official website. Read it for yourself. vatican.va/special/rosary…

@PenitentColumbo @realmikolson Great comment and I love ur account name!

On the contrary, Hebrews is profoundly Eucharistic. It does not abolish the altar, but enthrones Christ as the eternal High Priest after the order of Melchizedek, who himself offered bread and wine. He is both Offerer and Offering, the once-for-all Sacrifice whose Body and Blood, which is no less than the fruit of the tree of life, are made present in the apostolic liturgy, so that we may draw near with full assurance that “He who eats the flesh of the son of ma abides in me and I in Him.”

I truly do not understand how someone can honestly reading the book of Hebrews and remain a Roman Catholic. It shreds to pieces their entire sacramental system of atonement. If you’re a Roman Catholic, I urge you to read Hebrews front to back. And then read it again. And, more importantly, actually listen to what the Word of God says. I’m telling you, it’s much better that way.

@father_rmv Where confession at?

Grace is understood as God's free, unmerited gift whereby human beings are elevated to share in the divine life itself. Wounded by original sin, humanity lost supernatural friendship with God that was intended from the first moment of creation. Grace restores and surpasses this original state, not by destroying human nature but by perfecting it from within. Through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, grace is poured out abundantly by the Holy Spirit, making the baptized soul a partaker of the Trinity's inner life (2 Peter 1:4). Catholic teaching distinguishes primarily between sanctifying grace, a habitual and permanent gift that inheres in the soul and renders it holy and justified before God, and actual graces, which are particular divine illuminations and inspirations that prompt and assist the will in performing specific good acts. Grace is ordinarily conferred through the sacraments, visible signs instituted by Christ that efficaciously communicate invisible realities. Baptism initiates this life of grace by forgiving sin and infusing sanctifying grace, while the other sacraments sustain, nurture, or restore it according to the needs of the Christian journey. A hallmark of Catholic teaching on grace is the harmonious cooperation between divine initiative and human freedom. Although no one can merit the first grace of justification, the recipient must freely respond to and cooperate with God's ongoing assistance. This collaboration enables the performance of meritorious works that contribute to growth in holiness and final perseverance. Grace, therefore, empowers rather than supplants the human will, leading the Christian toward the fullness of charity and eventual union with God in the Beatific Vision.

@jakedell73 1) my priest's preaching is far better than that. 2) heretics and schismatics can't be allowed in christ's church either so kinda a self own here.

Catholics: does your priest preach like this? Only Protestants have what it takes

@HwsEleutheroi Leave Jesus because Peter fled. Good idea bro.

You know, the ecumenical goings on in the Vatican might just make the Trads jump ship in the not too distant future.

@WellsJorda89710 Catholics will have to choose between Jesus and Peter. Makes sense to me.

Catholics will have to choose between Jesus and the pope.

@RGuillimanXIII In Japan they did not do what you are describing. They maintained the faith through baptisms which do not strictly require a priest and through the prayers and symbols of apostolic christianity. They knew they could not validly confect the eucharist or absolve sins.

As it turns out, this is not entirely a hypothetical. In the early 1600s, Japan purged all Christian priests. Suppose a group of Japanese Christian survivors met to continue practicing their faith in secret. There is no apostolic succession, because they're all dead. So they appoint one from among them to function as the priest, praying over bread and wine and distributing it to the faithful. Maybe it's the eldest, or maybe they take turns. Perhaps they even use noodles and rice wine for the Eucharist to avoid arousing suspicion at the market. Would such a Eucharist ceremony be "valid"?

@TurretinFan It's called the litany of Loretto bozo. This is nothing objectionable here.

What's more blasphemous, a picture implying you have supernatural healing powers, or a prayer to Mary in the middle of a prayer to the Holy Trinity? Source: vatican.va/special/rosary…

@DanClarkSports The comment section seems to think that a degredation of entertainment in society is fine as long as its popular. This is degrading for the human person and a the game itself but I guess its fine because tickets are cheap

Pathetic and embarrassing to baseball.

@cbobb10 @beCatholicc @Etan_sun @DavidLimbaugh So salvation through faith involves other necessary conditions. Thanks for explaining our side.

@beCatholicc @Etan_sun @DavidLimbaugh And what faith is "that" faith? It's a claimed faith that doesn't show the true fruit of repentence. He's making the exact opposite point you claim. Keep reading and explain why Rahab and Abraham are the examples he cites.

These verses all seem to say that, Michael. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 3:28. For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Galatians 2:16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. Galatians 3:11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.” Romans 11:6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace. Acts 16:31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Romans 4:5 And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, Titus 3:5–7 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 2 Timothy 1:9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,

@juvelibertarian @GabeEden26 @Herr_Oberst45 @5Solas2 Oops, said the quiet part out loud.

@GabeEden26 @Herr_Oberst45 @5Solas2 Are you Protestant? What demon?

Don't let Roman Catholics and the Orthodox convince you they own the church fathers. The reformers actually used the church fathers to prove Roman Catholics wrong in the Reformation.

@Ted215991794622 @David_wthebeard Then why do you evangelical types have such a problem with it? No sacrifice at the altar and no sacrifice in your lives. "Christians" who oppose christianity.

@David_wthebeard Going without meat one day a week is NOT fasting.

It's Friday. Eat meat!

@BibleInContext1 St.Jerome knew greek better than this doofus.

In Luke 1:28, Gabriel says to Mary: “Χαῖρε, κεχαριτωμένη, ὁ Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ.” - chaire, kecharitōmenē, ho kyrios meta sou The Latin Vulgate, translated by Jerome, renders it: gratia plena = “full of grace” This translation became standard in Catholic tradition. The Greek Does NOT literally say “full of grace” There is no Greek word for “full” (like plērēs) in the text It does not describe Mary as a source or reservoir of grace The Greek doesn’t say Mary is “full of grace”—it says she has been graced. That’s very different. → Translated “Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” (ESV) or “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” (NIV). The verb chaire literally means “rejoice!” or “be glad.” It was also a common Greek salutation, roughly like saying “Greetings” or “Hello,” but with a tone of goodwill.

@MaddyStrong3 @KeithNester1 @TheBasedTrinity Have you read Jesus' parables? This is not thebpicture they paint.

@KeithNester1 @TheBasedTrinity When you are saved, the forgiveness will naturally proceed from your salvation as a fruit. If you still do not forgive your brother, that probably indicates that your brother is not saved so you should talk about him on Twitter and let everyone know he is destined for hellfire

Even though Jesus said you must forgive your brother from your heart to be saved, you don't really need to do that because it's a "work," and Ephesians 2 says salvation is not by "works."

@How2BeChristian @needGod_net If these guys just read the red letters (only the words Jesus spoke) they would never come away with this bogus theology. They make Paul contradict our lord, twisted.

Ryan Hemelaar of @needGod_net posted a video of himself making YET ANOTHER incredibly stupid argument. On one hand, Ryan is no stranger to posting videos of himself lacking the common sense and basic reading comprehension skills necessary to understand a simple concept. On the other hand, today is April Fool’s Day, and it is possible that this particular romp into stupidity is just being done as a joke by Ryan. So, Ryan, can you let us know whether (a) you are seriously making this dumb of an argument, or (b) you are making this mind-numbingly stupid argument as a joke? Thank you!

@needGod_net Cool theological strategy, what if I rip one verse from the bible and read it in a wildly novel and incoherent way then base my entire theology on that. No way that could lead to error.

Comical sketch: How a Catholic Priest (poorly) explains Ephesians 2:8-9

@redeemed_zoomer Insane.

God bless St. Martin Luther!

@needGod_net You are so right. If i just say I have peace with God, that means I do. Very cool theology.

Good demonstration representing the shackles of the Roman Catholic teachings. No permanent peace with God.

@RevBWarr Even if you did, which you don't, defiling the body and blood of our lord with heresy and schism will not be looked on favorably.

I still can't believe you don't know what Protestants teach. I eat Christ's true body and drink his true blood every Sunday in His Supper.
