The Catholic Church--what did they get right, what did they get wrong?
Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "...[T]eaching the gospel to over one billion world wide..."
You are a
deceiver. He's
coming for you (2 Thess 1:8-9).
"We got serpentdove right."
Your
priest can't save you (Prov
17:15).

we believe different gospels, we
worship different Christs, we

Ad hominem.
"Try to be civil in the face of
incivility. This is a test." (Hos
3:1)
Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: [Bybee slogan/motto] "...['T]he irony of that post."
Classic. Hos 3:1.
Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "Why do you think the Catholic [t]radition is the only historic source of the N.T. Canon?"
Do you think the Roman Catholic Church today is the same church as the church in 431?
See:
Catholic Traditions http://pro-gospel.org/x2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=34&Itemid=1
Tell us which of these traditions is biblical.
Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "Sorry, try again."
It does
not help your argument to deny
Roman Catholic teachings. Don't
you stand
proudly behind
these false teachings?
I guess that whole Protestant
Reformation was unnecessary (Prov.
14:5,
25).

"Mmm raisin cakes."
Tasty.
A little leaven leaveneth the
whole lump [Gal. 5:9].
"In Scripture, both Old and New
Testaments, leaven is always
used as a principle of evil. In
Matthew 13:33, when the woman
hid leaven in three measures of
meal, the leaven was not the
gospel. It may be the kind of a
“gospel” that is passing around
today as legal tender, but it is
still evil. In fact, Paul says
that it is no gospel at all. The
Lord Jesus warned His disciples
of the leaven of the Pharisees
(see Matt. 16:6). I think we
need to be warned today of the
leaven of legalism. It is an
awful thing. Legalism says that
when Christ died on the cross
for you and me over nineteen
hundred years ago, He did not
give us a full package of
salvation, but that I have to go
through a ritual of baptism or
seek something else from the
Holy Spirit to get the rest of
it. My friend, I received it all
when I accepted Christ. Now I
may have experiences after I am
saved, but that does not add to
my salvation. Christ is the One
who wrought out our salvation.
The Lord Jesus said that the
woman would take the leaven and
hide it in three measures of
meal, symbolic of the gospel. In
other words, leaven has been
hidden in the gospel—and that
makes it palatable to the
natural man.
I was brought up in the South,
and I never knew there was any
kind of biscuits but hot
biscuits. My mother used to bake
them every day. Even yet I can
see those biscuits in the dough
stage, rising on the back of the
stove. When they reached a
certain height, she stuck them
in the oven. They had leaven in
them. When the biscuits were
done, I would put butter and
honey on them. There was nothing
better! That is still my
favorite dessert. There is a lot
of leaven being put in the
gospel today to make it more
palatable. Natural man likes the
leavened bread. It tastes good.
However, we are warned not to do
that."
