I definitely will not fault people for putting forth this Petros/Petra argument because it is a very common argument that people make but there are a number of problems with it, and if I were to summarize those problems they would go like this: 1) First, the very layout of Matthew 16 is a three-fold blessing, and each part of that blessing is itself in three parts, a blessing, and explanation of the blessing, and a further explanation of the blessing. It's a threefold blessing of Peter and it goes like this: 1) Blessed are you Simon son of Jonah, 1a) for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you 1b) but my father was in heaven. 2) I tell you, you are rock 2a) and Upon This Rock I will build my church 2b) and the Gates of Hell will not Prevail against it 3) I give you the keys to the kingdom 3a) that whatever you bind on Earth is bound in heaven 3b) that whatever you loose on Earth is loosed in heaven. That alone tells you all you need to know given the structure of this sentence and where it is situated within a three-fold blessing. 2) Of course we can go deeper than this because we know that Jesus spoke Aramaic and the word in Aramaic that he used for Peter's name is Kepha, transliterated as Cephas in Greek (well, ripped from Aramaic into Greek and then Greek into English, but you get the gist!) The Aramaic word for a small stone is EVNA, not KEPHA. Had Jesus intended for Peter to be known as the little Stone, we would be speaking of Simon Evan, not Simon Peter. 3) as you yourself pointed out Petra is feminine, Petros is masculine. It is fine to use feminine words when speaking of men if there is no other way for that word to me made masculine, but using a word metaphorically And giving somebody a brand new name are two entirely different things. Calling him "petra" would be calling him "Mrs. Rock," so Jesus is just changing the gender of the word to match Peter's gender. 4) Multiple, MULTIPLE Protestant scholars Disagree fundamentally with what you've said and agree with what I've written, namely: -There is no distinction in meaning between "petros" and "petra." -Two different Greek words are used because you can't use a feminine noun for a man's name. -"This rock" refers to Peter. -The identity of the rock ("petra") is affirmed by the Aramaic that Jesus was speaking. ...So this isn't just a Catholic position. https://phatcatholic.blogspot.com/2006/09/protestant-scholars-on-mt-1616-19.html?m=1&fbclid=IwAR3vP4x1_VMC74-QrwDKxRD59ir0_PxvxYk1yVeBCGxEsshI_zvHo-vD3oU 5) NONE of this necessarily actually denies that Jesus is also the rock, OR that the statment of faith is ALSO also the rock. In fact, the Catechism in paragraph 424 states exactly this: "Moved by the grace of the Holy Spirit and drawn by the Father, we believe in Jesus and confess: ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.'3 On the rock of this faith confessed by St. Peter, Christ built his Church." BUT that doesn't preclude the other, more OBVIOUS meaning state above from being true (and the church of coures also understands that the be the principle interpretation, CF: http://www.catholic-catechism.com/ccc_153.424.440.442.552.553.586.849.881.1444.htm) Hopefully that's helpful!

In this episode we are going to look at a piece of shotgun apologetics shared on the most popular social media platform out there and dissect what's wrong with it but also give as charitable of a response to it as we can. The questions were posed as such: ______________________________________________________ If the Bible is a "catholic book" then why did they omit the following: -saying mass .... -consecrating bread .... -turning wine into blood .... -Eucharist .... -baptizing babies ... -hearing confessions ... -confirming anyone ..... -Last Rites .... -asking Mary to intercede .... -Mary as "New Eve" -Mary as the Ark -praying to"saints".... -papacy ... -purgatory ... -novenas .... -monks ... -nuns ... -etc. -etc. ______________________________________________________ Obviously that's a lot of each one of these we could talk about at length for probably hours. But in this video I'm going to try to answer well enough each one of these point-by-point oh, and even conceive that one of them is true though the rest are false.

Today on “Catholic Drive Time,” Steve Weidenkopf is on to discuss the issues in church history. His book: Light From Darkness: Nine Times the Catholic Church Was in Turmoil- and Came Out Stronger Than Before https://www.amazon.com/Light-Darkness-Catholic-Turmoil-Stronger/dp/1683572491/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Ask Catholics about the crisis in the Church today and you'll often get one of two responses: The end is upon us! or Everything's fine—the Holy Spirit is in charge! Neither of those attitudes makes sense from the perspective of history, says Steve Weidenkopf (The Real Story of Catholic History). In his new book, Light from Darkness, Weidenkopf shows how the Church's past ages were no less tumultuous than our own. Yet, whether it was decadent hierarchs selling out the Faith for pleasure and power, or hostile princes, heresies, or ideologies (sometimes all three at once) menacing Christendom, the Catholic Church not only persisted during hard times but came through them stronger than before. In each case, though, Weidenkopf demonstrates how the Church's survival was not an accident or a last-minute miracle. Instead, good Catholics (lay and clergy alike) cooperated with God's grace to beat back error and corruption and reform the house of God from within. They resisted the twin temptations of cynical schism and Pollyanna passivism and went to work—first in their own hearts—bringing good out of evil, light from darkness. These nine inspiring stories of crisis and reform should give all Catholics today reason for hope—and a model to follow as we deal with the trials that God has permitted in our own time.

Got a question? Email askcatholics@gmail.com DONATE to support this channel: http://bit.ly/DonateToAskCatholics Pretend you're St. Paul. Pretend it's towards the end of your life, and you're writing letters to the churches that - once you and the other apostles die, will serve as the SOLE RULE OF FAITH. Why, if that is the case, would you NOT write something like this: "Timothy, my child, please take care to make copies of this letter, and pass it around to all the churches, for this is the sole rule of faith, along with this set of 26 other texts, including the first letter I wrote to you..." No, instead he gives instruction for the living dissemination of the truth through the church: "what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also." (2 Tim 2:2) THAT is the biblical church. "So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings[a] we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter." (2 Thes 2:15) Word of mouth was the MAIN way that the teachings were spread - though to be sure people HIGHLY regarded the writings, too, reading them in their eucharistic liturgies. But the teaching was alive, guarded by the holy spirit, and passed down from the apostles to other men (bishops/episcopoi) whose job it was to guard the truth and teach the truth. And that's just what their successors did. Paul references 4 generations of men in that one sentence from 2 Tim above: Himself, Timothy, those Timothy would teach, and those that THOSE would teach. Paul was a voluminous writer, but he did more than write - and he expected people to adhere to the TEACHING he gave them no matter how it was delivered. That's why when he chides the Galatians, he tells them to compare any new gospel they receive to the one he already delivered to them - orally. "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we PREACHED to you, let him be accursed." (gal 1 :8) The expectation is that they should look back to that TRUTH that they had received - not in a written fashion - and compare ANYTHING else (written or unwritten) to that truth. If you knew that the Christians were going to NEED the NT as their sole rule of faith, you should NEVER write something like: "Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face." (2 john 12) Instead, you should have written out a systematic theology that could not have been mistaken or misread. But instead the Apostles left us teachers. This is based on the model laid down by Christ, in Luke 10:16 Jesus tells His apostles, "he who HEARS you, hears Me." And, as a reminder, 99% of the world was illiterate, too. So for most people not just then but for all of human history, it could NEVER have been "me in my bible." It was always the church. And the earliest of documents bear this out: "And thus preaching through countries and cities, they appointed the first-fruits [of their labours], having first proved them by the Spirit, to be bishops and deacons of those who should afterwards believe. Nor was this any new thing, since indeed many ages before it was written concerning bishops and deacons. For thus saith the Scripture a certain place, 'I will appoint their bishops s in righteousness, and their deacons in faith.'... Our apostles also knew, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and there would be strife on account of the office of the episcopate. For this reason, therefore, inasmuch as they had obtained a perfect fore-knowledge of this, they appointed those [ministers] already mentioned, and afterwards gave instructions, that when these should fall asleep, other approved men should succeed them in their ministry...For our sin will not be small, if we eject from the episcopate those who have blamelessly and holily fulfilled its duties." Bishop Clement of Rome, Epistle to Corinthians, 42, 44 (A.D. 98).Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

Got a question? Email askcatholics@gmail.com DONATE to support this channel: http://bit.ly/DonateToAskCatholics Can the saints and angels hear us? Is invoking them to pray with us and/or on our behalf condemned by the bible. Or is it in fact authentic, Christian and biblical teaching, the rejecting of which is the rejection of Christian truth? Turns out, this practice is older than Christianity, and was fully practiced and endorsed by 100% of the early church insofar as we can tell - there are precisely 0 objections to it in the written record, and many endorsements in the martyr church Denying the validity of prayer to the saints and angels is itself a man-made, anti-biblical tradition that is not more than 500 years old, and it is a protestant tradition, not a Christian tradition - though there are certainly protestants who are fine with it and who hold authentic, Christian teaching.Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

Got a question? Email askcatholics@gmail.com DONATE to support this channel: http://bit.ly/DonateToAskCatholics Many Protestants quote John 3:16, and in fact it's become the single most quoted and most translated verse of scripture. But I think if we dig into it what will find is that it doesn't mean exactly what most people think it means. The heart of it is the word believe, and this word is in the active present participle in Greek so the better translation of this sentence which is often translated as “God so loved the world that he sent his only son that whoever believes in him might not perish but have eternal life” would be “God so loved the world that he sent his only son that whoever IS BELIEVING in him might not perish.” A native Greek speaker would very likely translated that way. however, 20 vs later John gives us some clarification on what the word believe means. Not only is it a continuous action that one under goes throughout one's life, not a one-time event, but it also is contrasted not with disbelief but with disobedience. So to believe is to obey, and to disobey is to not believe in the biblical sense.Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. (Rev 12:7-9) Thus we know this is not just a snake…Watch how he deceives. The first deception: The serpent asked the woman, "Did God really tell you not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?” (Gen 3:1) He changed the command “You are free to eat from any tree except…” He asked the woman, whom Adam was to protect, along with the garden. Where was the Man? Hang on… The woman replies: “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden; it is only about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden that God said, ‘'You shall not eat it or even touch it, lest you die.'” This is a change of the commandment too. The Second Deception: The serpent replied “You certainly will not die! God knows that the moment that you eat of the fruit of that tree, your eyes will be open and you will be like gods!” Satan is twisting the image of the Father to one who wants to lord his might over others for his own sake, and who is willingly keeping the man and the woman under his thumb. “You certainly will not die” – is this true? Hang on… The Fall: “The woman saw that the tree was good for food, pleasing to the eyes, and desirable for gaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized that they were naked, so they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves” (Gen 3:6-7) The woman bought it, and ate it The woman gave the fruit to Adam…WHO WAS WITH HER THUS Adam - to whom the law was directly given - was not an innocent party. Adam's sin was to remain silent in the face of the serpent and his temptation. The Fallout: Their eyes were “open” and they saw that they were naked, and they felt shamed. What is this Shame? They saw that they could use each other for selfish purposes They felt shame upon this realization, and then they covered themselves Thus we see a DISHARMONY erupt between man and woman, and between all of mankind by extension. Further Fallout: They hide from each other, and then they hide from God! The man and the woman feel shame in the presence of their own Heavenly Father, and quickly things spiral into The Blame Game (Gen. 3:10-13) God asks the man why he hid, and the man responds, “Because I was naked”. God asks the man “who told you that you were naked?” and realizes that the man and the woman have eaten of the fruit. The man blames the woman The woman blames the serpent Both were guilty for not shamaring, but most especially the man. Ultimate Repercussions: To The Serpent: “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and hers; He will strike at your head, while you strike at his heel.” This is called the Protoevangelium or “first gospel” as it is promising a savior to mankind Not only that, but it actually alludes to a virgin birth, and to the suffering and death of the messiah! Thus arguably the most IMPORTANT VERSE in the creation accounts is this very line. Also, “dust shall you eat.” - This word is the same word for the dust out of which man was made in (Gen 2:7), and the same word for the dust into which man will return (Gen 3:19) To the Woman: “I will intensify the pangs of your childbearing; in pain shall you bring forth children. Yet your urge shall be for your husband, and he shall be your master.” The pain is the punishment The urge and mastership is merely a statement of fact, born out in history. To the Man: “Cursed be the ground because of you! In toil shall you eat its yield all the days of your life; thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you, as you eat of the plants of the field. By the sweat of your face shall you get bread to eat, until you return to the ground, from which you were taken; for you are dirt, and to dirt you shall return.” Man is taken from the garden and forced to labor The ground is cursed The fall affected more than just Adam! (and now Man has to eat his veggies!) Thus we see the effects of this “original sin” is an utter shattering of what it means to be Mankind: Humanity is Shattered by the introduction of Sin, his relation with his Other (woman), with his God, and even with the world around him. “The man called his wife Eve, because she became the mother of all the living.” (Gen 3:20)Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

Like all Christian doctrines, it has undergone development through the centuries, but it hasn't departed from the essential components already existing in the leadership and prerogatives of St. Peter. These were given to him by our Lord Jesus Christ, acknowledged by his contemporaries, and accepted by the early Church. The biblical Petrine data is quite strong and convincing, by virtue of its cumulative weight, especially for those who are not hostile to the notion of the papacy from the outset. This is especially made clear with the assistance of biblical commentaries. The evidence of Holy Scripture (RSV) follows: 1. Matthew 16:18: “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church; and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.” The rock (Greek, petra) referred to here is St. Peter himself, not his faith or Jesus Christ. Christ appears here not as the foundation, but as the architect who “builds.” The Church is built, not on confessions, but on confessors – living men (see, e.g., 1 Pet 2:5). Today, the overwhelming consensus of the great majority of all biblical scholars and commentators is in favor of the traditional Catholic understanding. Here St. Peter is spoken of as the foundation-stone of the Church, making him head and superior of the family of God (i.e., the seed of the doctrine of the papacy). Moreover, Rock embodies a metaphor applied to him by Christ in a sense analogous to the suffering and despised Messiah (1 Pet 2:4-8; cf. Mt 21:42). Without a solid foundation a house falls. St. Peter is the foundation, but not founder of the Church, administrator, but not Lord of the Church. The Good Shepherd (John 10:11) gives us other shepherds as well (Eph 4:11). 2. Matthew 16:19 “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven . . .” The “power of the keys” has to do with ecclesiastical discipline and administrative authority with regard to the requirements of the faith, as in Isaiah 22:22 (cf. Is 9:6; Job 12:14; Rev 3:7). From this power flows the use of censures, excommunication, absolution, baptismal discipline, the imposition of penances, and legislative powers. In the Old Testament a steward, or prime minister is a man who is “over a house” (Gen 41:40; 43:19; 44:4; 1 Ki 4:6; 16:9; 18:3; 2 Ki 10:5; 15:5; 18:18; Is 22:15,20-21). 3. Matthew 16:19 “. . . whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” “Binding” and “loosing” were technical rabbinical terms, which meant to “forbid” and “permit” with reference to the interpretation of the law, and secondarily to “condemn” or “place under the ban” or “acquit.” Thus, St. Peter and the popes are given the authority to determine the rules for doctrine and life, by virtue of revelation and the Spirit's leading (Jn 16:13), and to demand obedience from the Church. “Binding and loosing” represent the legislative and judicial powers of the papacy and the bishops (Mt 18:17-18; Jn 20:23). St. Peter, however, is the only apostle who receives these powers by name and in the singular, making him preeminent. 4. Peter's name occurs first in all lists of apostles (Mt 10:2; Mk 3:16; Lk 6:14; Acts 1:13). Matthew even calls him the “first” (10:2). Judas Iscariot is invariably mentioned last. 5. Peter is almost without exception named first whenever he appears with anyone else. In one (only?) example to the contrary, Galatians 2:9, where he (“Cephas”) is listed after James and before John, he is clearly preeminent in the entire context (e.g., 1:18-19; 2:7-8). 6. Peter alone among the apostles receives a new name, Rock, solemnly conferred (Jn 1:42; Mt 16:18). 7. Likewise, Peter is regarded by Jesus as the Chief Shepherd after Himself (Jn 21:15-17), singularly by name, and over the universal Church, even though others have a similar but subordinate role (Acts 20:28; 1 Pet 5:2). 8. Peter alone among the apostles is mentioned by name as having been prayed for by Jesus Christ in order that his “faith may not fail” (Lk 22:32). 9. Peter alone among the apostles is exhorted by Jesus to “strengthen your brethren” (Lk 22:32).Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

Got a question? Email askcatholics@gmail.com DONATE to support this channel: http://bit.ly/DonateToAskCatholics What is a sacrament? How do they affect us? Do they give real grace? Are they "works"? Do they "save"? How do we cooperate with God's grace? These are all questions that people have about the pre-denominational church (i.e., the Catholic and the orthodox eastern churches) A Sacrament is an outward sign instituted by Christ to give grace. “"Seated at the right hand of the Father" and pouring out the Holy Spirit on his Body which is the Church, Christ now acts through the sacraments he instituted to communicate his grace. The sacraments are perceptible signs (words and actions) accessible to our human nature. By the action of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit they make present efficaciously the grace that they signify.” (CCC 1084) GRACE: Grace is a participation in the life of God. It introduces us into the intimacy of Trinitarian life: by Baptism the Christian participates in the grace of Christ, the Head of his Body. As an "adopted son" he can henceforth call God "Father," in union with the only Son. He receives the life of the Spirit who breathes charity into him and who forms the Church. ACTual grace: refers to God's interventions, whether at the beginning of conversion or in the course of the work of sanctification. Sanctifying grace: Sanctifying grace is an habitual gift, a stable and supernatural disposition that perfects the soul itself to enable it to live with God, to act by his love.Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

Or who ever persevered in the fear of the Lord[b] and was forsaken? Or who ever called upon him and was overlooked? 11 For the Lord is compassionate and merciful; he forgives sins and saves in time of affliction. 12 Woe to timid hearts and to slack hands, and to the sinner who walks along two ways! 13 Woe to the faint heart, for it has no trust! Therefore it will not be sheltered. 14 Woe to you who have lost your endurance! What will you do when the Lord punishes you? 15 Those who fear the Lord will not disobey his words, and those who love him will keep his ways. 16 Those who fear the Lord will seek his approval, and those who love him will be filled with the law. 17 Those who fear the Lord will prepare their hearts, and will humble themselves before him. 18 Let us fall[c] into the hands of the Lord, but not into the hands of men; for as his majesty is, so also is his mercy.Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

You are urged therefore to read with good will and attention, and to be indulgent[a] in cases where, despite out diligent labor in translating, we may seem to have rendered some phrases imperfectly. For what was originally expressed in Hebrew does not have exactly the same sense when translated into another language. Not only this work, but even the law itself, the prophecies, and the rest of the books differ not a little as originally expressed. When I came to Egypt in the thirty-eighth year of the reign of Eu-er′getes and stayed for some time, I found opportunity for no little instruction.[b] It seemed highly necessary that I should myself devote some pains and labor to the translation of the following book, using in that period of time great watchfulness and skill in order to complete and publish the book for those living abroad who wished to gain learning, being prepared in character to live according to the law. In Praise of Wisdom 1 All wisdom comes from the Lord and is with him for ever. 2 The sand of the sea, the drops of rain, and the days of eternity—who can count them? 3 The height of heaven, the breadth of the earth, the abyss, and wisdom—who can search them out? 4 Wisdom was created before all things, and prudent understanding from eternity.[c] 6 The root of wisdom—to whom has it been revealed? Her clever devices—who knows them?[d] 8 There is One who is wise, greatly to be feared, sitting upon his throne. 9 The Lord himself created wisdom;[e] he saw her and apportioned her, he poured her out upon all his works. 10 She dwells with all flesh according to his gift, and he supplied her to those who love him. Fear of the Lord Is True Wisdom 11 The fear of the Lord is glory and exultation, and gladness and a crown of rejoicing. 12 The fear of the Lord delights the heart, and gives gladness and joy and long life. 13 With him who fears the Lord it will go well at the end; on the day of his death he will be blessed. 14 To fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; she is created with the faithful in the womb. 15 She made[f] among men an eternal foundation, and among their descendants she will be trusted. 16 To fear the Lord is wisdom's full measure; she satisfies[g] men with her fruits; 17 she fills their whole house with desirable goods, and their storehouses with her produce. 18 The fear of the Lord is the crown of wisdom, making peace and perfect health to flourish. 19 He saw her and apportioned her; he rained down knowledge and discerning comprehension, and he exalted the glory of those who held her fast. 20 To fear the Lord is the root of wisdom, and her branches are long life.[h] 22 Unrighteous anger cannot be justified, for a man's anger tips the scale to his ruin. 23 A patient man will endure until the right moment, and then joy will burst forth for him. 24 He will hide his words until the right moment, and the lips of many will tell of his good sense. 25 In the treasuries of wisdom are wise sayings, but godliness is an abomination to a sinner. 26 If you desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord will supply it for you. 27 For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction, and he delights in fidelity and meekness. 28 Do not disobey the fear of the Lord; do not approach him with a divided mind. 29 Be not a hypocrite in men's sight,[i] and keep watch over your lips. 30 Do not exalt yourself lest you fall, and thus bring dishonor upon yourself. The Lord will reveal your secrets and cast you down in the midst of the congregation, because you did not come in the fear of the Lord, and your heart was full of deceit.Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

God Is Light 5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth; 7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

By this we may be sure that we are in him: 6 he who says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. A New Commandment 7 Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard. 8 Yet I am writing you a new commandment, which is true in him and in you, because[a] the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. 9 He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness still. 10 He who loves his brother abides in the light, and in it[b] there is no cause for stumbling. 11 But he who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 12 I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his sake. 13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know the Father. 14 I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one. 15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world passes away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides for ever. Warning against Antichrists 18 Children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come; therefore we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out, that it might be plain that they all are not of us. 20 But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all know.[c] 21 I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and know that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also. 24 Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is what he has promised us,[d] eternal life. 26 I write this to you about those who would deceive you; 27 but the anointing which you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that any one should teach you; as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie, just as it has taught you, abide in him. Children of God 28 And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. 29 If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that every one who does right is born of him.Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are God's children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every one who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. 4 Every one who commits sin is guilty of lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that he appeared to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in him sins; no one who sins has either seen him or known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does right is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God commits sin; for God's[a] nature abides in him, and he cannot sin because he is[b] born of God. 10 By this it may be seen who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not do right is not of God, nor he who does not love his brother. Love One Another 11 For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, 12 and not be like Cain who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous. 13 Do not wonder, brethren, that the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. 15 Any one who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But if any one has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth. 19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth, and reassure our hearts before him 20 whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 22 and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 24 All who keep his commandments abide in him, and he in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given us.Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

And his commandments are not burdensome. 4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? Testimony concerning the Son of God 6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood. 7 And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth. 8 There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree. 9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God that he has borne witness to his Son. 10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne to his Son. 11 And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who has not the Son of God has not life. Epilogue 13 I write this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 And this is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of him. 16 If any one sees his brother committing what is not a mortal sin, he will ask, and God[a] will give him life for those whose sin is not mortal. There is sin which is mortal; I do not say that one is to pray for that. 17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin which is not mortal. 18 We know that any one born of God does not sin, but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world is in the power of the evil one. 20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, to know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ.

Occasion of the Letter 3 Beloved, being very eager to write to you of our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For admission has been secretly gained by some who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly persons who pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.[a] Judgment on False Teachers 5 Now I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that he[b] who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels that did not keep their own position but left their proper dwelling have been kept by him in eternal chains in the nether gloom until the judgment of the great day; 7 just as Sodom and Gomor′rah and the surrounding cities, which likewise acted immorally and indulged in unnatural lust, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. 8 Yet in like manner these men in their dreamings defile the flesh, reject authority, and revile the glorious ones.[c] 9 But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, disputed about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a reviling judgment upon him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.” 10 But these men revile whatever they do not understand, and by those things that they know by instinct as irrational animals do, they are destroyed. 11 Woe to them! For they walk in the way of Cain, and abandon themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam's error, and perish in Korah's rebellion. 12 These are blemishes[d] on your love feasts, as they boldly carouse together, looking after themselves; waterless clouds, carried along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted; 13 wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars for whom the nether gloom of darkness has been reserved for ever. 14 It was of these also that Enoch in the seventh generation from Adam prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with his holy myriads, 15 to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness which they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” 16 These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own passions, loud-mouthed boasters, flattering people to gain advantage. Warnings and Exhortations 17 But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 they said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” 19 It is these who set up divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit. 20 But you, beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; 21 keep yourselves in the love of God; wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And convince some, who doubt; 23 save some, by snatching them out of the fire; on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.[e] Benediction 24 Now to him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you without blemish before the presence of his glory with rejoicing, 25 to the only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and for ever.

This is the spirit of antichrist, of which you heard that it was coming, and now it is in the world already. 4 Little children, you are of God, and have overcome them; for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world, therefore what they say is of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. God Is Love 7 Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God; for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his own Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 17 In this is love perfected with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love. 19 We love, because he first loved us. 20 If any one says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot[a] love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should love his brother also.Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

We are thousands of years removed from the writings themselves, and we don't speak the languages they were written in. So does that mean scripture is useless? Does that mean we can never understand it or Plumb its depths? No. Of course not. However, when reading scripture we have to be careful that we not twist it out of context and 2000 years remove the single greatest way to do that is to read it in the context of the living tradition of the church which is safeguarded those scriptures, including their Cannon which is itself a part of tradition, for those two thousand years.Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

Paul Rebukes Peter at Antioch 11 But when Cephas came to Antioch I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. 13 And with him the rest of the Jews acted insincerely, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their insincerity. 14 But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?” 15 We ourselves, who are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners, 16 yet who know that a man is not justified[a] by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law shall no one be justified. 17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we ourselves were found to be sinners, is Christ then an agent of sin? Certainly not! 18 But if I build up again those things which I tore down, then I prove myself a transgressor. 19 For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace of God; for if justification[b] were through the law, then Christ died to no purpose.Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

Amen. There Is No Other Gospel 6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and turning to a different gospel— 7 not that there is another gospel, but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, If any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed. 10 Am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant[a] of Christ. Paul's Vindication of His Apostleship 11 For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not man's[b] gospel. 12 For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ. 13 For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it; 14 and I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers. 15 But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and had called me through his grace, 16 was pleased to reveal his Son to[c] me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not confer with flesh and blood, 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned to Damascus. 18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days. 19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother. 20 (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!) 21 Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cili′cia. 22 And I was still not known by sight to the churches of Christ in Judea; 23 they only heard it said, “He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they glorified God because of me.Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

Father!” 7 So through God you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then an heir. Paul Reproves the Galatians 8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were in bondage to beings that by nature are no gods; 9 but now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and beggarly elemental spirits, whose slaves you want to be once more? 10 You observe days, and months, and seasons, and years! 11 I am afraid I have labored over you in vain. 12 Brethren, I beseech you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong; 13 you know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first; 14 and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus. 15 What has become of the satisfaction you felt? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me. 16 Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?[a] 17 They make much of you, but for no good purpose; they want to shut you out, that you may make much of them. 18 For a good purpose it is always good to be made much of, and not only when I am present with you. 19 My little children, with whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you! 20 I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you. The Allegory of Hagar and Sarah 21 Tell me, you who desire to be under law, do you not hear the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave and one by a free woman. 23 But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, the son of the free woman through promise. 24 Now this is an allegory: these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia;[b] she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written, “Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and shout, you who are not in travail; for the children of the desolate one are many more than the children of her that is married.” 28 Now we,[c] brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise. 29 But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now. 30 But what does the scripture say? “Cast out the slave and her son; for the son of the slave shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.” 31 So, brethren, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman.Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? 2 Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun with the Spirit, are you now ending with the flesh? 4 Did you experience so many things in vain?—if it really is in vain. 5 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith? 6 Thus Abraham “believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.” 7 So you see that it is men of faith who are the sons of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9 So then, those who are men of faith are blessed with Abraham who had faith. 10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be every one who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, and do them.” 11 Now it is evident that no man is justified before God by the law; for “He who through faith is righteous shall live”;[a] 12 but the law does not rest on faith, for “He who does them shall live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed be every one who hangs on a tree”— 14 that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. The Promise to Abraham 15 To give a human example, brethren: no one annuls even a man's will,[b] or adds to it, once it has been ratified. 16 Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many; but, referring to one, “And to your offspring,” which is Christ. 17 This is what I mean: the law, which came four hundred and thirty years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void. 18 For if the inheritance is by the law, it is no longer by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise. The Purpose of the Law 19 Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made; and it was ordained by angels through an intermediary. 20 Now an intermediary implies more than one; but God is one. 21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not; for if a law had been given which could make alive, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. 22 But the scripture consigned all things to sin, that what was promised to faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 Now before faith came, we were confined under the law, kept under restraint until faith should be revealed. 24 So that the law was our custodian until Christ came, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a custodian; 26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if any one thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. 5 For each man will have to bear his own load. 6 Let him who is taught the word share all good things with him who teaches. 7 Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart. 10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. Final Admonitions and Benediction 11 See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. 12 It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that would compel you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 For even those who receive circumcision do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which[a] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 16 Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God. 17 Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

The Nature of Christian Freedom 2 Now I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. 3 I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is bound to keep the whole law. 4 You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. 5 For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait for the hope of righteousness. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working[a] through love. 7 You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8 This persuasion is not from him who calls you. 9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump. 10 I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view than mine; and he who is troubling you will bear his judgment, whoever he is. 11 But if I, brethren, still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been removed. 12 I wish those who unsettle you would mutilate themselves! 13 For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants of one another. 14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another take heed that you are not consumed by one another. The Works of the Flesh and the Fruit of the Spirit 16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit, 21 envy,[b] drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. 26 Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another.Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

Got a question? Email askcatholics@gmail.com DONATE to support this channel: http://bit.ly/DonateToAskCatholics Jesus himself taught Purgatory exists. And he's pretty clear that those there can be saved, but there is a level of punishment or suffering there. In Luke 12, he gives a series of eschatological parables. The first one ends thus: "You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” This makes it clear that his parable was about the end. But then Luke continues: 41 Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?” 42 The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43 It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,' and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers. 47 “The servant who knows the master's will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. This is an eschatological (pointed towards the end) parable... A - One steward is rewarded for being faithful and wise.(Heaven) B - A second steward is a drunk, and he's "cut in half" (literally: διχοτομήσει- that's the word we get "dichotomy" from) and sent to be with the unbelievers (Hell) Then we have two more. C The third steward knows the master's will and doesn't get ready, he intentionally disobeys, so he's beaten with MANY blows (but not kicked out like B). D The fourth steward doesn't know things, and thus is not as culpable for his mistakes. He is beaten with FEW blows (but again, is not thrust out like B was) Escatalogically, this is purgatory. The one who knew more and failed IS beaten or punished, but ultimately attains heaven. The one who knew less is judged with more mercy. Still something akin to punishment happens (because being purified is a process) but salvation is the end for C and D, as it is of A. It is only B who is utterly destroyed. And what's the next part of this gospel? In case you needed confirmation, Jesus gives ANOTHER parable about some place of punishment after this life that is not hell. Luke 12:58-59 – Jesus teaches us, “Come to terms with your opponent or you will be handed over to the judge and thrown into prison. You will not get out until you have paid the last penny.” The word “opponent” (antidiko) is likely a reference to the devil (see the same word for devil in 1 Pet. 5:8) who is an accuser against man (c.f. Job 1.6-12; Zech. 3.1; Rev. 12.10), and God is the judge. If we have not adequately dealt with satan and sin in this life, we will be held in a temporary state called a prison, and we won't get out until we have satisfied our entire debt to God. This “prison” is purgatory where we will not get out until the last penny is paid.Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

I have had many wonderful and fruitful debates with people online, but sometimes they'd go a little South. I found that for a lot of people they get very angry when you start to challenge them on things that they just don't understand, and I think that this is often times just something we all struggle with as human beings. But I think it also shows a lack of Charity a lack of faith and I would encourage any online debate participants to follow the model of Saint Peter who says to be prepared to give a defense of the hope that is in you but do it with gentleness and reference. Unfortunately there wasn't a lot of gentleness or reverence, mostly just name calling. And that's only in this particular thread.

Sproul's quote has been taken down by Ligonier Ministries (for what seems to me obvious reasons) but here's the archive of it: https://web.archive.org/web/20120314002140/https://www.ligonier.org/learn/qas/we-talk-bible-being-inspired-word-god-would-men-wh/ *** My argument: "The Bible is simply not sufficient by itself and there's a simple proof of this. The Bible does not actually give you a list of books that belong in the Bible. That had to come from an external Source - it came from a church which called itself Catholic and had Bishops and priests and deacons and prayed to Mary and the Saints and believed that the Eucharist that they celebrated with the actual body and blood of Jesus. They're the ones who gave you the list of books that belong in scripture and if that list of books is infallible, it's because *they* - that church--are infallible and you should heed them still (ie you should be Catholic) If they were mistaken, if they were not infallible, then the entire list of books you have in your Bible is itself fallible. Which means you have no reason to believe that any of the 27 books in the New Testament what's a 46 or 39 books that are in the Old Testament or actually inspired. You can accept as true that all scripture is inspired by God and God breathed Etc, but if you can't answer the simple question "is this book scripture?" then you have no Bible. You have at best good spiritual reading, like Augustine's Confessions."Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise
