brocab:You just confirmed my statement. Let me know when you have an argument on any authorized catholic teaching. |
brocab:The problem with you is you don't know what you are arguing against.

brocab:The protestants are ashamed to leave the debate video on their platforms. James White is happy debating denominations he could easily defeat, like JW. I already told you, bring me any Catholic teaching from authentic Catholic source, not individual Catholics or ex-catholics who may or may not know a lot about the Church. Any church that started more than 1000 years after Christ is on its own a man made church and of course not of Christ. This is for no other reason other than the fact that Christ instituted His Church on earth before departure and gave His disciples authority with Peter the leader. Christ's Church was instituted in the first century, not after 1400 years of the Church's existence! The great commission and Authority Christ bestowed upon the Church has never transferred to anywhere. Read some history; don't allow individuals who have no solid foundation and history brainwash you into a Martin Luther acolyte. |

brocab:Check the owner of the youtube channel. This video has been removed from every protestant site or channel because they realized James White was trashed in the debate. Not even a single non-Catholic site or channel, wow! the second video, are they Catholics? What's your point? |
Kophschmerzen:Keep on yelling, imbec1Le. You've done your parents proud by beating their lying records. Congratulations stup1d! |
LordReed:1. CNN reported that the Michael Cohen in the report is not Trump's lawyer but a man with the same name from a different country. 2. Michael Cohen, who was said to have visited Prague in August and September, did not leave or enter the United States during this time. 3. Mr Cohen said he has never been to Prague in his life. |
Kophschmerzen:Dumbo, you just got buried in your rubbish. It'll get worse next time you come with your lies. |
LordReed:Convinced about what? |
Kophschmerzen:That months later produced what, F00L? |
solite3:Pure heresy! If you recognize Scripture for what it is, you’ll see it wasn’t intended to be an instructional tool for converts. In fact, not one book of the Bible was written for non-believers. The Old Testament books were written for Jews, the New Testament books for people who already were Christians. Most of the epistles were written to local churches that were experiencing moral and/or doctrinal problems. Paul and most of the other New Testament writers sent letters to these local churches (e.g., 1 and 2 Corinthians and Galatians) in order to rectify these problems. There was no attempt on the part of the writers to impart a vast body of basic doctrinal instruction to non-believers nor even to simply summarize everything for the believers who received the letters. This is what protestants fail to realize! YES, Paul's words are the same as what he wrote down. But NO, he did not write all his words down. Now read again what he said to Timothy (2 Thess 2:15) "So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter." Remember, in 2 Tim. 3:14–15, Paul tells Timothy to continue in what he has learned for two reasons: first, because he knows from whom he has learned it (Paul himself) and second, because he has been educated in the scriptures. The first of these is a direct appeal to apostolic tradition, the oral teaching which the apostle Paul had given Timothy. This is where Protestants like you take 2 Timothy 3:16-17 out of context to arrive at the theory of sola scriptura! But when the passage is read in context, it becomes clear that it is teaching the importance of apostolic tradition! The Bible denies that it is sufficient as the complete rule of faith. Paul says that much Christian teaching is to be found in the tradition which is handed down by word of mouth (2 Tim. 2:2). He instructs us to "stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter" (2 Thess. 2:15). This oral teaching was accepted by Christians, just as they accepted the written teaching that came to them later. Jesus told his disciples: "He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me" (Luke 10:16). The Church, in the persons of the apostles, was given the authority to teach by Christ; the Church would be his representative. He commissioned them, saying, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:19). And how was this to be done? By preaching, by oral instruction: "So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the preaching of Christ" (Rom. 10:17). The Church would always be the living teacher. It is a mistake to limit "Christ’s word" to the written word only or to suggest that all his teachings were reduced to writing. The Bible nowhere supports either notion. Further, it is clear that the oral teaching of Christ would last until the end of time -"’But the word of the Lord abides for ever.’ That word is the good news which was preached to you" (1 Pet. 1:25). Note that the word has been "preached", that is, communicated orally. This would endure. It would not be supplanted by a written record like the Bible (supplemented, yes, but not supplanted), and would continue to have its own authority. This is made clear when the apostle Paul tells Timothy (2 Tim. 2:2), "And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others". Here we see the first few links in the chain of apostolic tradition that has been passed down intact from the apostles to our own day. Paul instructed Timothy to pass on the oral teachings (traditions) that he had received from the apostle. He was to give these to men who would be able to teach others, thus perpetuating the chain. Paul gave this instruction not long before his death (2 Tim. 4:6-8 ) as a reminder to Timothy of how he should conduct his ministry. solite3:Go ahead, refute my argument IF YOU CAN. solite3:Pay attention, it's not about what Timothy or Christians at that time knew. It's about what Paul was emphatically saying. So again, Scripture as mentioned In 2 Tim 3:15 (that is, in that context) most specifically referring to the Old Testament. solite3:You're right! Paul never received human tradition like sola scriptura (introduced in 1517 by Martin Luther). Now pay attention and keep in mind what the Catholic Church means by tradition. The term does not refer to legends or mythological accounts. It does not encompass transitory customs or practices which may change, as circumstances warrant, such as styles of priestly dress, particular forms of devotion to saints, or even liturgical rules in Catholic Church. So the Tradition Paul talks about in the scripture is what we aptly call Sacred or Apostolic tradition. It consists of the teachings that the apostles passed on orally through their preaching. These teachings largely, or perhaps entirely overlap with those contained in Scripture (I already used the word 'Supplemented' above), but the mode of their transmission is different. They have been handed down and entrusted to the Church. It is necessary that Christians believe in and follow this tradition as well as the Bible (Luke 10:16). The truth of the faith has been given primarily to the leaders of the Church (Eph. 3:5), who, with Christ, form the foundation of the Church (Eph. 2:20). The Church has been guided by the Holy Spirit, who protects this teaching from corruption (John 14:25-26, 16:13). solite3:You did address it WRONGLY. 3:16 does not explain 3:15. To contextualize 3:15, you need John 5:39; and to contextualize John 5:39, you need John 12:16; John 19:28; John 20:9; Luke 24:27, Luke 44, 1 Peter 1:10. That's how you know what any author or speaker is talking about any instance. You don't just lump verses together just because they use the same term and/or they are close to each other. If you learned biblical exegesis and hermeneutics, you would know this. |
Kophschmerzen:Your link supports my argument, retard! Lord knows if your stup1dity is hereditary. |
LordReed:FBI and DOJ officials have said they cannot verify the dossier's charges of a conspiracy between the Russian government and the Trump campaign. The dossier, 35 pages long, contains many specific assertions that could be verified by an organization with the resources of the FBI. Verified, that is, if they were accurate in the first place. At the same time, at least one group of assertions, the ones concerning Michael Cohen, have been convincingly debunked. Cohen has produced proof that he was not in the Czech Republic, or even in Europe, when the purported meeting took place. So tell me again how credible and trustworthy Steele and his hit job is. |
Kophschmerzen:You're wrong f00l. The GOP has nothing to do with Steele dossier. Steele was hired after the primaries. You might be entitled to your opinion but you're not entitled to your own facts. |
brocab:James White got destroyed in the debate. Did you notice you can only find this debate on Catholic youtube channels only? The video has disappeared from every single protestant website and their youtube channels. Check out how they all disappeared: ![]() 1. https://www.facebook.com/aomin.org/posts/240743046028759 2. https://reformedbaptistdaily./2013/08/09/mariology-mary-debate-james-white-vs-robert-fastiggi/ 3. https://1689reformedbaptist./2013/08/10/james-white-vs-robert-fastiggi-debate-on-the-marian-doctrines/ 4. https://beaconapologetics./2015/08/24/christian-vs-roman-catholic-debate-on-mary-dr-james-white-vs-dr-robert-fastiggi/ 5. https://beaconapologetics./2016/10/17/the-catholic-doctrine-of-mary/ 6. http://gospelliving..qa/2013/05/25-free-debates-featuring-james-white.html "Indulgences Debate" |
LordReed:You're talking crap! The Washington Free Beacon paid research focused on Trump's business and entertainment activities only. The Free Beacon stopped funding research on Trump in May 2016, and none of the work product they received appeared in the Steele dossier. Fusion GPS hired a foreign entity, a private British intelligence firm co-owned by Steele to look into connections between Trump and Russia. He was hired between June and November 2016. |
LordReed:How many times time am I going to explain it? Please tell me how a political opposition research made its way from Russia, through the FBI to the FISC and unverified. |
solite3: solite3: 9inches: solite3: 9inches: solite3:Verses of the bible are interpreted in contextually. So, which verse are you talking about? In 2 Tim 3:14, Timothy is initially exhorted to hold to the oral teachings (the traditions) that he received from apostle Paul. This echoes Paul’s reminder of the value of oral tradition in these previous verses: (1.) 2 Tim 1:13, "Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus." (2.) 2 Tim 2:2, "And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others." So, here in summary of (2 Tim 3:14), Paul refers EXCLUSIVELY to oral teaching and reminds Timothy to follow that as the "pattern" for his own teaching (as in 2 Tim 1:13). Only after this reference to oral teaching is the term Scripture mentioned as "profitable" for Timothy’s ministry. In 2 Tim 3:15 Paul was most specifically referring to the Old Testament. solite3:Answers: Both. It was. It is. Tradition: The reason you accept the books you do is that they were in the Bible someone gave you when you first became a Christian. You accept them because they were handed on to you. This means you accept the canon of the New Testament that you do because of tradition, because tradition is simply what is handed on to us from those who were in the faith before us. So your knowledge of the exact books that belong in the Bible, such as Philemon and 3 John, rests on tradition rather than on Scripture itself! solite3:You're conflating both verses. Verse 15 specifically refers to the old testament. Summary: In 2 Timothy 3:16-17, was Paul laying down a guideline for Timothy to make use of both Scripture and tradition in his ministry. |
JUHABACH:@bolded, not true. That's a Democrats talking point. Hillary Clinton, DNC, Fusion GPS, Steele, FBI, DOJ all were responsible for the dossier that came from Russia. The dossier was bought and paid for, and then weaponized to harm Trump's Presidency. That's the real Russian collusion story. |
LordReed:What does that mean? Trump-Russia Collusion? |
solite3:Of course, Paul quoted Luke (1 Timothy 5:18); about 13 books of the New Testament, including Luke, have been written before Paul's letter to Timothy. 9inches:It's not confusing at all. 1. The Holy Scripture is literally the Sacred Scripture. 2. In 2 Timothy 3:14-15, verse 14 is different from verse 15. (a) 2 Tim 3:14 - "But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom[a] you learned it". He was pressing Timothy to continue what he had learned and firmly believed about Christ (essentially the New Testament), knowing he learned it from credible people like Paul. (b) 2 Tim 3:15 - "and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus." Paul reminded him of his training from childhood on the sacred scriptures. |

brocab:One never could "buy" indulgences. The financial scandal surrounding indulgences, the scandal that gave Martin Luther an excuse for his heterodoxy, involved alms—indulgences in which the giving of alms to some charitable fund or foundation was used as the occasion to grant the indulgence. There was no outright selling of indulgences. brocab:I have already shown you how to search for any question on Catholic teachings.

LordReed:I just searched youtube but can't find it. I watched the interviews live, one on MSNBC and I can't remember on which network I saw the other one. After 73 interviews and over 300,000 documents, and they haven't found anything... It's better they left it for Mueller to figure out. Although mueller himself is on his own fishing expedition, we'll see how it all ends. Financial impropriety might come out but for a collusion with Russia to interfere with the election, the Democrats and Obama's admin are the real culprits. |
JUHABACH:Probably because the facts they were exploring weren't leading them to any real Trump-Russia collusion story. So, the Democrats went fishing sporadically; they had to be contained. |
LordReed:@bolded, That's a lie. Note, "he's had" does not mean "he has." Also "Russians" does not mean "Russian." You're talking about videos like this, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-9fJy0aHMI |
LordReed:In an interview Schiff admitted the there's no evidence apart from the one already in public like the Trump Tower meeting. Again, in a separate interview, he said what he wants to investigate is whether the leverage Russians may have had on Trump. Don't forget, the Russian lawyer involved in the Trump Tower meeting also met with Fusion GPS before and also after the Trump Tower meeting. So it was clear Democrats were on a wild goose chase just to get Trump and cover their own collusion involving the Hillary Clinton, DNC, State House, White House (possibly), FBI, DOJ, Fusion GPS, British spy and Russia. |
brocab:Isn't that the exact same thing you've been doing- making nonfactual sweeping statements about the Catholic Church. Even when a long time Pentecostal pastor converted to Catholicism and explained why Protestantism is wrong, you still have your head stuck in the sand because you lack the humility to accept the truth. You believe in a ma-made doctrine of 1517. Before your Martin Luther cut down the bible to 66 books and started protestantism, there have always been the One True Church of the Apostles. Facts don't change, you can use different tactics to ignore it all you want but it remains what it is. |
JUHABACH:Dealing with Russia is different from dealing with Russian individuals. "I have had dealings over the years where I sold a house to a very wealthy Russian many years ago. I had the Miss Universe pageant — which I owned for quite a while — I had it in Moscow a long time ago. But other than that, I have nothing to do with Russia," Trump said. Trump specifically said he has no investments or loans in or from Russia, and that's the key area. It's public knowledge that he had Trump SoHo financed in some way by either Russian or ex Soviet Union individuals in the past about the period Don Jr made that remark. Trump also has since the 80's trying to break into the Russian Market but clearly wasn't successful to this day. The area of interest for a collusion case is whether he currently had any underhand dealings that might make him susceptible to blackmail. That is different from actual collusion. For a collusion to be proven, he had to willfully conspire with intent to interfere with the election process. If he didn't release his tax returns because he defaulted in his tax payment or he has laundered money in some way in the past, that's a different story altogether and has nothing to do with Russia Collusion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJh0GbxIlAM |
