@lukeappleton @JimSanoBC79 @AkshayRama4825 "It’s like Jim I know your church’s history better than you" You very likely do.

@JimSanoBC79 @AkshayRama4825 The deutrocanon was not canonised until the council of Trent. Hence why it is called the Deutrocanon. It’s like Jim I know your church’s history better than you. I actually was very interested in Romanism for a while. Until I realised how unbiblical it is.

They really really really hate the Holy Bible. Because it is God’s infallible Word!

@JimSanoBC79 @rickbrennanjr "You see thousands of Protestant ministers looking deeper and finding the truth in Christ’s one apostolic Catholic Church" So much delusion to believe that's happening.

@rickbrennanjr @JoshuaTCharles You try too hard to argue the narrative that divides Christ’s Church. You see thousands of Protestant ministers looking deeper and finding the truth in Christ’s one apostolic Catholic Church. You don’t see priests or informed Catholics doing this in any number.

It is a serious overstatement to claim that most Roman Catholics who become Protestant were poorly catechized—especially the claim made by @JoshuaTCharles that “in every single case” they “knew nothing.” That assertion simply misrepresents reality. Many who leave have read the Catechism carefully and wrestled with it at length. Their departure is not rooted in ignorance, but in theological conviction based upon where they believe the teachings of the Roman Catholic church diverges from Scripture. Sadly, the critique made but Joshua Charles is a common accusation made by Roman Catholic apologists online. However, if that claim is going to be made, it deserves to be tested. So let’s move beyond caricatures. What would you like to discuss from the CCC? And more importantly, why do I find a number of its teachings to be in tension with Scripture? I was catechized through the Baltimore Catechism—from Volume 1 in early elementary school through Volume 4 in Jesuit-taught theology—and have since engaged in substantial independent study of Catholic theologians and the current Catechism while in Protestant seminary. On that basis, I challenge the claim that those who leave are not well catechized. I am more than willing to engage directly and demonstrate that many who become Protestant do so not out of ignorance of the CCC, but out of conviction shaped by careful study of Scripture, early church history, and Roman Catholic doctrine. @ErickYbarra3 @Trent_Horn @RealMattFradd

@JimSanoBC79 @5Solas2 "These three did not agree on doctrine or interpretation - only individual determination of truth without authority or grace" Sounds just like your "fathers" that you put all your trust in.

@5Solas2 The “reformation” brought division and confusion. These three did not agree on doctrine or interpretation - only individual determination of truth without authority or grace.

@JimSanoBC79 @yesiwetmyplants I asked you a question first. Stop dodging.

@TylerBirkey @yesiwetmyplants I asked you a question.

The epistle to the Hebrews says faith is assurance, not uncertainty. Assurance gets labeled by many as pride and some even call it a sin to presume we’re saved. So according to them, faith means trusting Christ completely but never being sure He actually saved you? Make it make sense

@JimSanoBC79 @yesiwetmyplants Stop rambling. Start giving verses.

@TylerBirkey @yesiwetmyplants I’ve read for many decades wyn the grace of the “breaking of the bread.” Why do you believe you don’t need grace to see what the disciples could not?

@JimSanoBC79 @yesiwetmyplants Apparently YOU haven't read. If you had, you'd give me the verses instead of repeating the same stuff you always say ad nauseum.

@TylerBirkey @yesiwetmyplants There are many. Have you not read?

@ChrisRojas4081 @5Solas2 @sincead33 Save yourself the time, I've already heard them all.

@TylerBirkey @5Solas2 @sincead33 Can you pick one of those and I offer you a series arguing from scripture for it ?

The church father's writings are NOT inspired.

@sincead33 @ChrisRojas4081 @5Solas2 I don't see ol' Melchor doing apologetics on X or YouTube.

@TylerBirkey @ChrisRojas4081 @5Solas2 Here is Melchor Cano, O.P., who wrote against the Reformers and attended the Council of Trent.

@ChrisRojas4081 @5Solas2 @sincead33 You can't. That's why you go to the "fathers".

@TylerBirkey @5Solas2 @sincead33 We can give evidence from scripture for all of that.

@ChrisRojas4081 @5Solas2 @sincead33 I didn't say you guys don't quote Scripture. I said that your go to when trying to prove Catholicism is the "fathers". Your eucharist, bishops, apostolic succession, the office of pope, Marian dogmas, etc., almost always the go to is a "father".

@TylerBirkey @5Solas2 Uh, no? We are always quoting the scriptures. Horn himself quotes the Bible a lot. You do know we don’t think individual fathers are a rule of faith? Kevin is: @sincead33

@ChrisRojas4081 @5Solas2 Who's that? I was expecting Charles or Horn or Akin. Again, you treat them as infallible when you use them to prove your positions. If you said "this verse says x, and this writer agrees", that would be one thing, but that's not what you guys do. You use their quotes alone.

@TylerBirkey @5Solas2 Kevin Fernandez. But I don’t think you understand what my point is, so I will state it: Catholics don’t think the church fathers are infallible, nor that they are above Scripture, so your point does not make much sense

@ChrisRojas4081 @5Solas2 Tell me some of your favorite "knowledge Catholics" and I'll search their posts real quick.

@TylerBirkey @5Solas2 Like who?

@ergadia @5Solas2 Forget it. Answered my own question. x.com/search?q=from%…

@ergadia @5Solas2 Do you ever use them to prove a Catholic position?

@JimSanoBC79 @yesiwetmyplants Unbelievable. I ask for one verse with no bloviating, and all I get is bloviating and no verses. If I didn't know you were a real person, I'd think you were a bot.

@TylerBirkey @yesiwetmyplants Witness. You guess at what the Church was in its fulness. You guess at the Eucharist as taught by Christ and the apostles. You guess at Christ’s teachings on eternal life and Peter’s unique role. You claim infallibility in your personal interpretation that is seriously biased.

@ChrisRojas4081 @5Solas2 It's the "knowledgeable Catholics" I see doing it the most.

@TylerBirkey @5Solas2 I (emphasis on I) don’t do that. Nor most knowledgeable Catholics

@ChrisRojas4081 @5Solas2 Then you're not very observant, or just plain dishonest.

@TylerBirkey @5Solas2 I have

@JimSanoBC79 @yesiwetmyplants I want to know! How many times do I have to tell you that? Stop bloviating and show me the verses.

@TylerBirkey @yesiwetmyplants I haven’t seen any evidence that you want to know, that you seek truth no matter what, you don’t put anti-Church narrative above actual truth, or treat others as Christ. Winning isn’t the goal. I keep you in my prayers.

@JimSanoBC79 @yesiwetmyplants Wait, so I need these books to get insight into Scripture, but it's not in Scripture where I find that I need to trust in your organization? Which is it? You have years of education. The verses that say I need trust in your organization should roll right off your tongue. Sheesh.

@TylerBirkey @yesiwetmyplants They give you insights into Scripture and the Church. If you read Scripture, you would know the full Word of God isn’t recorded in Scripture and you wouldn’t reject Christ’s pillar of truth. Come back when you’ve spent serious time seeking truth over narrative.

@ergadia @5Solas2 You must be the only Catholic on X that doesn't.

@TylerBirkey @5Solas2 No I don't. They are very good reading but they cannot be the source pf doctrine.
