ECT WHY EVANGELICAL PROTESTANTS BECOME CATHOLICS

[6days]

“Bottom line: we convert because we come to believe, by God's grace, and with His leading, that the Catholic Church is the fullness of theological and spiritual truth, and the Church that Jesus instituted. Period.”

Cruciform.... it seems you are more interested in creating division than in working at unity of those who trust in Christ as Savior.
Your topic can be countered with testimonies of people who convert from Catholicism to Christianity. How about we rejoice together for people who converted from religion to a relationship with our Lord and Savior?

Now cite the biblical verse which states that "Only words explicitly used in the English Bible may be used by Christians to express their beliefs." We'll wait. :yawn:

Hi and did you MISS the MEMO that the bible is written in GREEK , and you know it is true , BUT you all Ignore that !!

And in 2 Tim 3:16 , it has been explained to you that " all scripture is God breathed " !!:rotfl::rotfl:

Ironic, since it is Christ's one historic Catholic Church from which the 50,000+ recently-invented, man-made non-Catholic denominations and sects have split off.

Your topic can be countered with testimonies of people who convert from Catholicism to Christianity.

Merely a False Dichotomy Fallacy on your part, since Catholics are Christians, in fact the original and authentic Christians of the first millennium-and-a-half of Church history.

Thus, your inability to cite a single biblical text which states that "Only words explicitly used in the English Bible may be used by Christians to express their beliefs" is noted.

A Protestant is someone who is pro "my-preferred-interpretation-of Scripture." Big difference there.

:darwinsm:​

Merely a Straw Man Fallacy on your part, since Catholics do not in any way "worship" the Saints. Try again.


If the "reformers" had the true understanding of Scripture, there would not now be some 50,000+ competing and contradictory recently-invented, man-made non-Catholic sects, with more being concocted every week. Try again.

No, you are wrong again, a Protestant is someone who is pro scripture.

Since the RCC is not pro scripture, but tends to ignore scripture, clearly God had to raise up believers who would adhere to truth instead of RCC tradition.

Already answered---and corrected---in Post #72 above.

A straightforwardly false statement. Try again.

So people who go to Catholic 'churches' are Christians?
People who accept Christ as their Savior but attend a non-Catholic church are not Christian?
Surely I'm misrepresenting you?

The Catholic Church teaches that one who truly believes in Jesus Christ, and has been properly baptized, is to be considered a fellow Christian.

Wow, you really know nothing about the Catholic Church do you? That is a really out to lunch statement.

I would say you are for sure, since he was responding to someone saying that Catholics aren't Christians, not vice versa.

And why the "" for Catholic churches?

Properly baptized?

 

[heir]

The Catholic Church teaches that one who truly believes in Jesus Christ, and has been properly baptized, is to be considered a fellow Christian.

Those who are saved are already "properly baptized" "by one Spirit" (1 Corinthians 12:13 KJV). Your rituals spoil people (Colossians 2:8 KJV).

 

[musterion]

Go ahead and prove that 50k + Protestant sects with conflicting and contradictory doctrines are NOT the "some...depart(ing)" "in latter times" mentioned in 1 Timothy 4:1!?*


Keep in mind that*conflicting, contradictory doctrine is not okay...at least according to the Bible and 1st century Christians.~ John 14:26, John 16:13; Malachi 3:6


While you're at it you might as well prove that 1Timothy was actually written to 16th century Protestants and not 1st century Christians as everybody knows that not a single solitary Protestant existed in the first century!?




God Bless!

A leftist was hired to run your church. Don't preach.

 

[musterion]

Wow, you really know nothing about the Catholic Church do you? That is a really out to lunch statement.

Why do you not self-identity as Catholic?

 

[Cruciform]

Properly baptized?

That is, according to the Trinitarian baptismal formula presented in the New Testament, and taught by the apostles to the early Christian Church.

 

[Cruciform]

Those who are saved are already "properly baptized" "by one Spirit" (1 Corinthians 12:13 KJV). Your rituals spoil people (Colossians 2:8 KJV).

I see the one baptism (Ephesians 4:5 KJV) which is by one Spirit into one Body (1 Corinthians 12:13 KJV)/a baptism into Christ's death (Romans 6:3-4 KJV) just fine! It's how I know you are spoiled (Colossians 2:8 KJV). I consider what Paul says and the Lord gives thee understanding (2 Timothy 2:7-8 KJV). You have to get saved for that to happen or you will just stay on the devil's course (Ephesians 2:2 KJV).

Cruciform is like my mother-in-law, a Cathaholic. It's their drug and they're addicted.

Religion is indeed an opiate. The flesh absorbs it and it warps your mind.
