It's safer to say Protestants are pointless whenever they argue against the Catholic Church. This is for all Protestants and Catholics 👇 5 Questions asked by Protestants and answers given by the Catholic Church. Protestant Question 1: “Why do Catholics worship Mary and pray to statues? That’s idolatry!” Catholic Answer: We worship God alone. We venerate Mary and the saints as family in Heaven. They intercede for us (Rev 5:8, 8:3-4; John 2). Statues are like family photos; biblical precedent exists (Ex 25:18-20). Protestant Question 2: “Sola Scriptura! The Bible alone is our authority. Your Pope and Tradition are man-made!” Catholic Answer: Sola Scriptura is not a biblical concept. The Church is the pillar of truth (1 Tim 3:15). Jesus gave the Apostles teaching authority, and Tradition guided the Church before the Bible was canonised. Protestant Question 3: “The Eucharist is just a symbol. Calling it Jesus’ body is cannibalism and magic!” Catholic Answer: Jesus said, “This is My Body… My Blood” (Mt 26, Jn 6). The early Church believed in the Real Presence. “Remembrance” means re-presentation. St. Paul warns of profaning the actual Body and Blood (1 Cor 11). Protestant Question 4: “Purgatory denies Christ’s finished work! It’s Heaven or Hell faith alone!” Catholic Answer: We are not justified by faith alone (James 2:24). Nothing unclean enters Heaven (Rev 21:27). Purgatory is final purification, supported by 2 Macc 12 and 1 Cor 3:11-15. Protestant Question 5: “The Pope is not infallible. Peter was just one apostle; this is a power grab!” Catholic Answer: Jesus gave Peter the keys (Mt 16:18-19) and primacy. The Church has always recognised Rome’s unique role. Papal infallibility is limited and protects truth, despite sinful popes. Follow for more and repost so that all may learn from it.

@dnegash1 @dizlainemaxwell @BeSaintly The whole chapter is about Jesus his identity
Throughout John 8, Jesus makes escalating claims about Himself. Saying “Before Abraham was, I am” is the climax. Reducing it to “I existed before Abraham” ignores the deliberate use of the divine name.

@bagofchipsss @dizlainemaxwell @BeSaintly Firstly, the context begins in John 8:39. In John 8:43 Yeshua the Jews DO NOT understand his words so you are wrong. In John 8:53 they ask him if he’s greater than Abraham? That is what Yeshua is responding to by saying “before Abraham was, it is I”. He’s claiming preeminence.

@dnegash1 @dizlainemaxwell @BeSaintly The Jews understood exactly what He meant
They didn’t laugh or say “You’re claiming to be older than Abraham.”
They immediately picked up stones to stone Him for blasphemy (John 8:59). This is strong evidence they saw it as a claim to divinity.

@dnegash1 @dizlainemaxwell @BeSaintly Yes “ego eimi” simply means “I am” in Greek. But context determines the meaning. The blind man in John 9 uses it for normal identification In John 8:58 it is used completely different way:“Before Abraham was, I am.”
This is claim to eternal existence + using divine name of God

@bagofchipsss @dizlainemaxwell @BeSaintly In John 8:58 it is the SAME Greek word “ego eimi” as used by the blind man in John 9. There is no grammatical difference. The Pharisees misunderstood Yeshua all throughout the gospels but you have to believe there false accusations to justify your trinity. Let me explain John 8…

@dnegash1 @dizlainemaxwell @BeSaintly In john 8:58 it isnot a normal “I am he” statement. Several reasons: -the grammer is deliberate -It echoes God’s divine name -The reaction of the Jews They immediately picked up stones to stone Him for blasphemy (John 8:59). They understood perfectly what He was claiming.

@bagofchipsss @dizlainemaxwell @BeSaintly False, “ego eimi” which is the Greek for “I am or It is I” is NOT the word used in Exodus when we look at the Greek Old Testament. Also, a blind man in the very next chapter says “ego eimi”. It’s a common response NOT a claim to be God. Y’all just parrot repeat the lies you hear.

@dnegash1 @dizlainemaxwell @BeSaintly This is not the mic drop you think it is….. Yes, the Greek words “ego eimi” (ἐγώ εἰμι) literally mean “I am” and can be used in ordinary conversation (as the blind man does in John 9). But context is everything.

@dizlainemaxwell @BeSaintly Trinitarians do nothing but rip verses out of context, isolate them & then force there Greco-Roman pagan invented god into the verse. John 8:58 is Yeshua claiming preeminence to Abraham not saying he’s God. Learn to read the whole context, assuming you actually care about truth.

Define faith. Is it just saying I believe while living in unrepentant sin with zero obedience or fruit? “Faith without works is dead” James 2:17. “Even demons believe and shudder” James 2:19. Jesus said: “If you love Me, keep My commandments” John 14:15 and “Every tree not bearing good fruit is cut down” Matt 7:19. True saving faith repents, obeys, and produces fruit. Faith alone that stays alone isn’t saving faith.
