That's fine. The question about the serpent of brass (a shadow of Christ) and Christ on the cross: what did it mean to look upon the serpent? Did you have to focus on it, or what if you looked at the serpent only in your peripheral vision? What if you looked at where the serpent was, but you...

What's the matter with that? I mean, if you're not committing a crime with your property, why shouldn't you think that you can do with it as you please? Everyone does though if you're in their home. A Yankees fan is going to get cancelled at Fenway Park, every time.

Plain. It is. No.

There is no evidence that is inconsistent with the Assumption of Mary. Check. What exactly do you mean by "declare". Because it's not as if the first record of it is in the 1800s.

Bluster. Give me some evidence inconsistent with the assumption of the Blessed Virgin. (Only the Lord ascends.) Doubt.

If you analyze everything available and try to fit an explanatory theory to it, then inconsistency is what you'll find.

There are many snared in lies about Catholicism, but I can't see any actual lies of Catholicism. Cite? Or not. Either way, peace to you.

And Catholics are closer to 1.3 billion bud. Agreed.

That was a very high quality post. Well, there is Acts 2:42. But this answer of course presumes the Protestant tradition of what's called in shorthand, "Sola Scriptura", meaning that the highest authority for the Church is not Apostolicity as preserved by men holding the office of a bishop...

Sacrifices were fake. They were symbols. Such a rich scripture, so full of wonder and majesty and mystery. How does an eternal sacrifice manifest in the world that is temporal? Once. "One sacrifice for sins forever". Forever indicates eternality, consistent with "the Lamb slain from the...

Awesome. Of course you being so powerful against water baptism, and it being based upon your Dispensationalism, and that being based upon Scripture, then 1 Co 10:17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread, means that you must find "that one...

Evangelism is preaching the Gospel, the object of evangelism is more Christians, Christians are the Church, the Church is at minimum her institutions, and her most salient institutions are baptism and Holy Communion, the former of which is celebrated occasionally or sporadically, it's variable...

I knew what you were talking about. It's not just mine though, it's the "interpretation" of the bishops. Bald assertion. There's also ONE bread---did you miss that? 1 Co 10:17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. When people not of a...

Especially when including evolution as the story of our origin, I disagree that "fairy tale" is the genre. To include that story in that genre doesn't work because it's unrealistic even for a fairy tale. That story belongs in a genre like "musing of the institutionally insane".

I didn't deny that. I don't deny that. That's not what I said. It's your interpretation. I don't have any obligation to accept or believe it, not a moral one, not a logical one, nothing. I believe the Apostles, since they were commissioned to teach what the Lord Jesus Christ wants me to...

Are they revealed by the Law, whether or not it is served, or are they only revealed by serving the Law, and not by the Law without qualification? This is a clarifying question. Do you believe that Paul's vision for the Church, when writing Galatians and others, was perpetual Sunday Mass...

Invite people to Mass.

I understand that you're not a bishop, and so therefore you do not hold the office created by the Apostles that is tasked with preserving and transmitting and teaching what the Apostles taught, so furthermore I don't have to even entertain any bald assertions from you on the nature of my...

Agreed. That's what I said.
