Quote:The doctrines are false and much of their authority is self claimed. I have talked of Purgatory, Eucharist, Papacy and found most of them to be built on myths and self-proclaimed history rather then scripture.
Quote:The catholic churches denial of Scripture to me is beyond hideous. The first day I read my KJV bible when I bought it. I was saved by that point but I knew when i opened that Bible and started reading I had been given a gift by God that I had his Almighty Word...and for this I am ETERNALLY grateful to the Lord.

Quote:Budge, you certainly cannot say that in seriousness. Do you think that the Early Christians made this stuff up? They had the words of Jesus ringing in their ears when they were teaching their disciples. WHERE do you imagine they got these things from?
Quote:And what of those Protestant pastors and teachers who studied the Bible and never dreampt that they would find the Scriptures leading them right into the Catholic Faith? What of Scott Hahn, Marcus Grodi, Steve Ray, David Curie, Dave Armstrong, and a host of others, an ever growing host who read the Scriptures and find principles in Scripture that they only can find in Catholicism? What of my friend Jim who as an atheist picked up his KJV and after studying it, found Christ in the Catholic Church and is just as joyful as you are?
Quote:I'm sorry that the Church is in such a low state of affairs at this time, but just because the palace is run down does not mean that the authority of the king is any less real. One day the Church will be restored to all Her glory.
Quote:If it happens soon, we will welcome you back Home. Meanwhile, we are busy working and praying to restore orthodoxy to this situation.

Quote:The Early Christian church was Christian until Constantine took over, and the Papacy came into play.

Quote:Just a bit over 80 years after Jesus ascended to Heaven, Iranaeus wrote concering these things and gave us the common belief of that day.

Quote:~{Acts 20:29}~29 For I know this,that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you,not sparing the flock.30 Also of your own selves shall men arise,speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. ----Probably the Men Peter speaks of----~{2 Peter 2:1}~But there were false prophets also among the people,even as there shall be false teachers among you,--That's where we get most of the Danmable Heresies From---who privily shall bring in damnable heresies,even denying the Lord that bought them,and bring upon themselves swift destruction.2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways;by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.
