@antepedium Except for Luke 2:35

The saints are not dead but that is no reason to believe they possess omniscience or are capable of hearing us and bringing our prayers to God’s ears (who doesn’t need them anyway).

@candlemaker4673 Because he knew Luke was going to

Catholicism kill shot: why did Paul not mention Mary one single time?

@DarthHarryson 2 Peter 1:19 “Moreover we possess the prophetic message which is altogether reliable…”

Catholic looking for a verse on the infallibility of the Pope 😉

@realmikolson Justification happens not through some kind of declaration, but through God actually making us holy. Us continuing in a state of holiness requires us to love God, which is a form of cooperation

Roman Catholic friends, Is justification a one-time, for all-time, declaration of righteousness by God, or an ongoing process that depends on our cooperation (good works)? Follow-up question: If it’s an ongoing process, what is the standard God uses to determine if someone has done ‘enough’ good works to be justified? How can a person have certainty they’re in ‘good-standing’ with God (righteous—‘a state of grace,’ as Rome teaches)? Be specific.

@CatholicDrip___ Actually Mark was an eyewitness in catholic tradition. The upper room was his house

This is a false statement. Neither Luke or Mark were eye witnesses. Protestants spread this lie to remove the need for a church in validating the Bible

@ChrisDJackson @JoeBiden There was chaos in Burma

Who else misses the boring, no-drama days of @JoeBiden? No chaos. No circus. No daily embarrassment. Just quiet competence from a president who actually knew how to do the job.

@WWUTTcom This is explained in the 6th session of Trent paragraph 8: papalencyclicals.net/councils/trent…

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.

@SnappyTurtle73 @ShannonMFHill I’m only seeing one person actually taking shots and I don’t think Oscar Ortega Hernandez is white

@ShannonMFHill Not for lack of trying, the difference is the secret service wasn’t run by incompetent sycophants back then.

We had a black president for eight years and not one white racist Republican redneck took a shot at him. Ever.

@UnseenWyoGal @realmikolson If you’re interpreting all have sinned to require every human to have committed a sin, then that would contradict Jesus being the spotless lamb

@mottovating20 @realmikolson Have all sinned and fallen short? Was Jesus the spotless lamb? Did anyone other than Jesus live a perfect life?

I did it. I found the most ridiculous Roman Catholic take yet. The take: because the Bible doesn’t list a specific sin Mary committed, that means she was totally sinless her entire life just like Jesus was. But the Bible also never lists a sin of - Daniel - Joseph - Job Did they never sin simply because there isn’t a specific one listed in the text? If so, does that mean Paul lied to us in Romans 3 by telling us “ALL have sinned.” Friends, let this guy be a lesson in how to NOT do theology 😂☠️👇

@MateyYanakiev But that verse is speaking of us being judged based on our works. Not the works being produced

@mottovating20 The historic Protestant view of sola fide includes faith producing good works, which are perfected by Christ’s flawless righteousness then imputed to us for righteousness. John Calvin says:

Has anyone ever heard a sermon on this particular saying of Jesus?

@RevReads289 How do you know that those aren’t inspired?

Things that are not inspired in your Bible: Chapter + verse divisions Punctuation The Order of the Books of the Bible Any notes (study, devotional, explanatory) Chapter Headings

@RevReads289 Have you read The Lambs Supper by Scott Hahn?

If I visit a Roman Catholic Church I feel lost in their odd traditions and practices that are very foreign to someone who attends a simple Bible Church. When I read the Apostolic Fathers, I feel right at home with their teachings.

@farmingandJesus Three questions: 1. What do you mean by faith and believe? 2. Is faith a supernatural gift or a product of our natural gifts? 3. If faith is a supernatural gift, then how could it depend on our state of development?

This is why I’m a baptist🤓

@MichaeliArchang He implies that Protestantism is just rebellion against the church. That has nothing to do with Jesus

Interesting how he points out all the heretics who were condemned by councils and popes as “proof” of Protestantism before the reformation. They all died within a few generations of being condemned, only to be resurrected by, you guessed it, the Protestant revolution. 🙄🤦‍♂️

@BibleInContext1 “What they’re really trying to say is…” False. We know that there were people who called themselves Christian but weren’t in the church. But Prots didn’t exist before 1500 because THOSE WEREN’T PROTESTANTS!

Catholics don’t actually know history!

@realmikolson The Jews don’t have a 66 book canon

EXCELLENT point here! 👇 The 66 books Protestants historically hold to are the 66 books no one disputes. Not Jews (OT). Not Protestants. Not Roman Catholics. Not Orthodox. Everyone agrees, and has since the first century (and before, regarding the Jews, as they were “entrusted with the oracles of God,” says Romans 3). It’s the other 7 from Rome (or 9 to 13, depending on the Eastern tradition) that have been under dispute the whole time as to whether or not they’re “theopneustos” (God-breathed; inspired Scripture). In other words, the Protestant tradition is the ONLY tradition to date that actually holds to an undisputed, universally-accepted Canon. The other traditions base their Canon’s “theopneustos” status on a lengthy history of rigorous disputes and debates. Luther’s argument was simple against the Roman Canon: the Jews, entrusted with the protection and preservation of the OT Canon did not hold to the apocrypha as “theopneustos” then neither should we. In summary, it’s NOT the Protestant taking away anything that’s not unanimously accepted Scripture. It’s the other traditions adding that which is up for debate.

@lukeisamazing Did the reign of terror actually solve the poverty problem?

sorry but Mark Twain already made the perfect reply to this bullshit line of reasoning about 150 years ago

@RGuillimanXIII @iam_shwa Then how do you make sense of Matt 6:1?

@iam_shwa Tired old argument. Works is an indicator, not a driver, of salvation. Genuine faith leads to both salvation and good works. Lack of good works shows that the faith is a lie and there's no salvation. Yawn. Next question.

Only Catholic Theology makes sense of this: James: Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only? Paul: For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Protestants just pick one
