Yeah. I've humored you long enough. You take care now.see? you're just trolling
I'm sorry you feel that gives you reason to celebrate, but I made myself of no reputation by design. It makes it easier for me to bring you His Truth. I must decrease and He must increase.What little credibility you had on this forum just fell flat.
Your answer just isn't reaching to where the Truth is. The Truth inhabits my members. He imparts His Gifts as He wills in my life. He walks with me and talks with me. I wouldn't trade that for all the property the RCC owns.
Your brief and ignorant answers have done nothing to refute the Truth that I have shared with you. It has only displayed the fact that you're completely brainwashed by your cult. If I wanted to know what the RCC has to say, I'd re-read the catechism. It's your beliefs and faith that I'm interested in sparking. Yours is dead, because you follow the dead. I would like to be able to wake up your dead bones. LIVE!!!The rest of your claims have already been answered in previous posts.

"Truth" = "the assumptions and opinions that Aimiel has derived from his chosen man-made non-Catholic sect"
I don't assume. I study, meditate and listen to The Lord; and I don't follow men. I follow Christ. That makes one of us."Truth" = "the assumptions and opinions that Aimiel has derived from his chosen man-made non-Catholic sect"
Hey, me too! :thumb:I don't assume. I study, meditate and listen to The Lord...
However, everything you claim to "know" you have learned from men who taught such information as "the truth." In short, both Catholics and non-Catholics follow their particular doctrinal traditions---and you are certainly no exception to that fact....and I don't follow men. I follow Christ.
Tradition is one of my favorite apostolic doctrines of the Catholic Church...
"So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter" (2 Thess. 2:15).
Addressed here. Try again.
If you had held firm to the apostle's tradition we would not have a quarrel with you....but you believe the bishop is to be obeyed as though he were Christ.
No apostle ever taught that.
It is taught in the following texts, among others:If you had held firm to the apostle's tradition we would not have a quarrel with you....but you believe the bishop is to be obeyed as though he were Christ. No apostle ever taught that.
It is taught in the following texts, among others:
- Matt. 16:18-19/Is. 22:15-22
- Matt. 28:18-20
- Lk. 10:16
- Ac. 15:6
- Ac. 16:4
- 1 Tim. 3:15
- 1 Jn. 4:6
All of these scriptures can be used against the usurpers of Christ's church.
They would not hear Assisi, they would not hear Hus or Wycliffe.
....but they could not but hear Martin.
...that is, the usurpers of Christ's one historic Catholic Church.All of these scriptures can be used against the usurpers of Christ's Church.
On the contrary. These very biblical texts (and many others) were used by the early Christian Church to support its belief and teaching that the bishops possess precisely the same doctrinal authority as the apostles themselves. Here you're forced to read the assumptions and opinions of your chosen recently-invented, man-made non-Catholic sect into the text of the Bible---as do all of the Protestant (non-Catholic) sects that have sprung up like weeds over the past five centuries.They would not hear Assisi, they would not hear Hus or Wycliffe...but they could not but hear Martin.
Apostolic Tradition is itself the word of God (1 Thess. 2:13; 2 Thess. 2:15; 1 Cor. 11:2).
See this.
In such passages as 2 Thess. 2:15 and 1 Cor. 11:2, paradosis refers to Apostolic Tradition---teachings handed on orally by the apostles---and is actually commanded by St. Paul. Surely, Paul would not command believers to follow the Jewish Law Code...? No, rather this is binding Christian doctrine passed along by the apostles in unwritten form.

Tradition is often expressed implicitly in Scripture, sometimes explicitly, and is always in harmony with Scripture, and vice versa.Right, Apostolic tradition is the Word of God! So, doesn't it follow that in those early days of the church when Christian doctrine was still being formulated, that the tradition the Apostles passed on would have been based on The Word of God?
The source of both Scripture and Tradition (Divine Revelation) is Christ himself, who has delivered it through the authoritative teachings of his one historic Church (Magisterium).What then, in your opinion was the source of the tradition if not God's Word?
The source I cited is in fact simply a list of biblical texts and patristic quotations.As for your reference concerning the magisterium; all you have done is quote RC sources to substantiate RC teaching.
Tradition is my favorite sin of the RCC...
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
