Catholic I only have like 400 followers so this is the real test.

@RevesJM If one claims sola scriptura they should not believe in sola scriptura as it isn't defined as such in the Bible. We have 2 tim saying Scripture is god breathed. No "only Scripture "

If one claims sola scriptura, they shouldn’t believe in the trinity because the doctrine depends on categories the Bible never uses.

@LizzieMarbach 2 Thessalonians 2:15 says hold to "traditions" taught by word or letter. The Church existed decades before the NT was written; the Bible is the "product" of the Church, not its "replacement." Without oral Tradition, there is no written Word.

Voice of reason: “because I’m catholic, I believe that the bible itself is not enough.” VS The Word of God: “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be COMPLETE, equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17

@robotcop1984 @catholicpat History proves monks hand-copied the Bible for centuries, preserving it duringDark Ages. Catholic councils(Hippo/Carthage) defined the Canon. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 commands holding to "Traditions," whether by word of mouth or letter. We didn't burn the Word; we built the library.

@RodRuiz14 @catholicpat "Oral gospel traditions is the hypothetical first stage in the formation of the written gospels as information was passed by word of mouth." Given the proclivity the Romans had to burning physical copies of Scripture, it's not hard to understand. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_gosp….

Prot: Where's purgatory in the Bible? Cath: Right there in Maccab– Prot: *takes out Maccabees* Where is it NOW?

@robotcop1984 @catholicpat 2 Thess 2:15 commands holding to traditions, whether by "word of mouth" or letter. In Luke 20:38, Christ says all are alive in God; thus, the Church’s oral and written witness is a living continuity, protected by the Spirit, not just a "hypothesis."

@JohnNobles82546 @BibleInContext1 In Luke 20:38, Jesus says God is "not of the dead, but of the living." Since all are alive in Him, Mary and the "cloud of witnesses" (Hebrews 12:1) hear us. We honor the "blessed" (Luke 1:48) but worship only the God of the living.

@BibleInContext1 Devout Catholic but not a Christian. They study Catholicism, not the Bible. If they did study the Bible, they would never bow and pray to a dead woman.

Catholics want you to believe there is a sort of revival happening in the Catholic Church with an abnormally large amount of conversions happening! What they fail to tell you is: “Catholicism has one of the largest net losses of any religion in the U.S. 13% of all U.S. adults are former Catholics Catholics have experienced the greatest net losses due to switching. About three-in-ten U.S. adults (30.2%) say they were raised Catholic. But 43% of the people raised Catholic no longer identify as Catholic, meaning that 12.8% of all U.S. adults are former Catholics. Meanwhile, on the other side of the ledger, 1.5% of U.S. adults have become Catholics after being raised another way. Overall, 18.9% of U.S. adults currently identify as Catholics, according to the new RLS. For Catholics, retention rates tend to be significantly lower than for other faiths, reasons given by former Catholics for walking away were clergy and religious leader scandals (39%) and dissatisfaction with church teachings on social and political issues (37%). Another 35% of former Catholics pointed to a gradual drifting away from their religion -- slightly less than the report's overall share of 38%. Equal shares of former Catholics said that their religion "just wasn't important" in their lives (36%) or that their spiritual needs were not being met (36%).” ***Data is quoted from the Pew Research Center & from the DetroitCatholic.com referencing the new study from Pew Research Center released Dec. 15, 2025 What’s really happening is that Roman Catholicism has a superficial lure promising structure and nostalgia, but once the short-lived experiences fade away these young converts seek truth and fulfillment elsewhere.

@LeeFoo9 @BibleInContext1 Matthew 16:18: Christ built His Church on Peter, promising hell won't prevail. As the "pillar and foundation of truth" (1 Tim 3:15), the Church preserves the full Deposit of Faith. We don't replace the Bible; we are the ones who canonized it.

@BibleInContext1 I pray that Catholicism would totally fall apart as it is not preaching the Bible. It is deceiving billions.

@LionelSumithram @LizzieMarbach Matthew 16:18 proves Christ built one Church on Peter. We hold the "fullness" (Ephesians 1:23) of truth, confessing Jesus as Lord (1 Cor 12:3), unlike pagans. We are the "pillar and foundation of truth" (1 Tim 3:15), the original, complete Christianity.

@LizzieMarbach Shows catholics they're pagans like hindus, moslems, buddhists,etc

Yikes.

@robotcop1984 @LizzieMarbach This is the "Hislop Myth," which modern historians and archaeologists reject. Tammuz was a harvest deity with no "resurrection" resembling Christ's, and Astarte’s iconography differs fundamentally from the Jewish Virgin Mary. It’s linguistic coincidence, not history.

@LizzieMarbach The whole Mary-Astartes and Tammuz-Christ thing suddenly doesn't seem so conspiratorial. Glad I'm not Roman Catholic.

@robotcop1984 @LizzieMarbach Alexander Hislop’s "Two Babylons" is historically baseless; even Evangelical Ralph Woodrow debunked it in *The Babylon Connection*, retracting his own support for these myths. Similarities are "preparatio evangelica," not pagan subversion.

@MarvinMediocre @LizzieMarbach 2 Thess 2:15 commands holding to traditions, "word of mouth" or letter. In Matt 16:18, Christ built one Church on Peter. History and 1 Tim 3:15 show the Church—not just a book—is the pillar of truth. Catholicism is that complete, biblical tree.

@LizzieMarbach Well, they're both are unbiblical and man-made traditions.

@stickernista @LizzieMarbach Acts 17:23 shows Paul redeeming "pagan" insights for Christ. We embrace Colossians 1:17: "He is before all things." Catholicism is the "fullness" (Ephesians 1:23), the complete Body that fulfills what every culture only shadows in Christ alone.

@LizzieMarbach So Catholics would rather embrace the MYTH of Shiva’s “destruction” rather than the reality of Christ’s death and resurrection. Good to know.

@JohnBailey64182 @LizzieMarbach 2 Thess 2:15 commands holding to "traditions," both written and spoken. The Bible calls the Church—not Scripture alone—the "pillar and foundation of truth" (1 Tim 3:15). Catholicism is the "fullness" (Eph 1:22-23) of Christ’s living Body.

@LizzieMarbach They try to "learn from" everything but the Bible...

@bashweld @LizzieMarbach James 1:27 defines "pure religion," and Matt 16:18 shows Christ built one Church, not a philosophy. Catholicism is the fullness of that Church, holding the "Keys" and "One Faith" (Eph 4:5). Christianity is the religion Christ instituted.

@LizzieMarbach Catholicism is just another religion…like Buddhism, Islam, Hindu….Christianity is not a religion.

@KingAriPress @LizzieMarbach John 17:21 records Jesus praying "that they may all be one" so the world believes. Catholicity means "universal," not "one-world" syncretism. Following Jesus means being part of His visible Body (Matthew 16:18), the "city on a hill" (Matthew 5:14).

@LizzieMarbach More people talking about being catholic than following Jesus was already a concern. Are we on the road to a one-world religion as mentioned in Revelation?

@bainbridger1984 @LizzieMarbach @farmingandJesus 1 Cor 10:21 says you cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. Matthew 4:10 commands worship of God alone. We don't "worship" saints; we honor them as members of Christ's Body (1 Cor 12:26). True worship is Spirit and Truth (John 4:24).

Roman Catholicism will start moving in this direction. Because they believe the only true worship is eating the cracker, and drinking the wine, it opens to door that prayer, and devotion to other deities is not "worship," and thus would not violate the command to not worship other gods.

@bibleprophecyus @LizzieMarbach Hislop’s *Two Babylons* is historically fraudulent. Lent evolved from pre-baptismal fasting, not Tammuz. Tammuz rituals were in June/July (Ezekiel 8:14), while Lent follows the lunar spring. No linguistic or ritual link exists between the two.

No surprises here. Lent, the 40-day period of mourning and fasting is likewise pagan: it derives from the ancient weeping for Tammuz, which God showed the prophet Ezekiel as an abomination right at the door of His own temple: “Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.” Ezekiel .

@bibleprophecyus @LizzieMarbach Lent imitates Jesus’ 40 days in the desert (Matt 4:2), not Tammuz. Hislop’s *Two Babylons* is historically discredited; it uses "linguistic coincidences" to link unrelated cultures. Ezekiel 8 condemned specific idols, not the biblical number 40.

@WWUTTcom Hebrews 12:1 says we are surrounded by a "cloud of witnesses." Revelation 5:8 and 8:4 show the saints offering the "prayers of the holy ones" to God. We don't worship them; we ask the living members of Christ's Body to intercede (James 5:16).

Ah, Roman Catholicism. 😆 It’s idolatry either way—praying to an empty thing. Saint Anthony has never heard anyone’s prayers.

@farmingandJesus Tyndale’s tragedy reflects a chaotic era of state-enforced uniformity. Historically, the Church wasn't "anti-Bible"—it funded the Douay-Rheims. Per 2 Peter 3:16, the Church sought to prevent "unstable" private interpretations that led to division.

Choked, impaled, burned, and now in Glory. God bless William Tyndale. The Spirit of God was in him.
