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).

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?

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).

 

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  [Hos 3:1 ] "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."
