Now this is your official proof that the statement is a forgery. Seriously?

Jolliano:


1. Universal Bishop as head of all bishops or universal Bishop as the only bishop in the World?
Because Pope Gregory condemned the latter and Pope Boniface obviously accepted the former.

Same title: Different meaning and Jurisdiction.

2. All your arguments come from a speech that people claimed was made by Bishop Strossmayer at Vatican I.
Suprisingly (to you,that is), he never made that speech. He was not against the dogma of infallibility but against the timing just like Cardinal Newman was.

[size=15]The problem with the speech is a forgery. Karl Keating, in his book Catholicism and Fundamentalism, points this out (on page 34), referencing the Catholic Encyclopedia.
You can see that article in the Encyclopedia here.
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14316a.htm

Believe it or not, there is an entire book written about the man, by Ivo Sivric, which also confirms that the speech is a forgery, perpetrated by a man named Jose Agustin de Escudero.[/size]

So if you want to prove anything provide documents for your accusation and stop making reference to Bishop Strossmayer.

Show me a document by these popes.

3. Permissions are not DOGMAs. Study what s DOGMA is,bros.

It doesn't end here!
Jehovah witness attack on the Catholic church have being ruthless and relentless.
I have enough AWAKE magazines from 1980's to this day. You spread your fallacies in the Catholic homes with a reckless abandon through the instrumentality of this greek gift, poisoning their minds and destabilizing their homes with this your 100 year old doctrines invented by a questionable character.

Instead of educating your members on your new innovation, you chose to attack the Catholic church who have no business with your innovation.

Today, chickens have come home to roost as the wind of change called internet have unravelled the the extent of darkness Christians before us have passed through.

It is obvious that in few years to come that that evill bulletin that have vilified the holy mother church with so much venom would reap all it have sown.

This is part of growing up, from Jehovah witness.

I ve not even attacked your church, you are talking. You guys are here attacking protestantism, no one spoke out against it, but now when I want to prove contradiction in ur church, the anger kept rising. Another catholic will still come up to voice his anger. But the contradictions are true. I dont think shouting will change it. That is history.

Lol. Which anger is rising? You are bearing false witness now o. Na who dey vex?

Which contradictions are true? Because in 2000 years, no one has proved any contradiction and neither have you.

History shows that Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church. If Jesus did not found the JW himself, why then was the JW even formed at all?

Matthew 16:17 - 19. Acts 1 and 2 tell us that there was indeed A Church and a nameless Church at that.

Now which Church on Earth is nameless? Only one.
The true Church which Christ sent to all Nations in order that the Church would be Universal. The only Church is identified as being Universal and that is the Catholic Church.

Jesus prayed for His Church to be one. Which Church is one in doctrines,practices,beliefs and even in the scriptures read daily all over the world? The Catholic (Katholos - Regarding the whole) Church.

Jesus gave his Apostles the Truth and told them to teach the world. He gave the Spirit to help them find the truth in all cases and situations that would arise. This Truth has been passed on from the Apostles (The First Bishops) down to our time. Jesus said he would be with the Church for all time. In other words, there would never be a time when the Church would not exist. So if Protestanism is the true Church, where was it between the time Jesus made all these promises and the 15th/16th century?

Can you trace your church back past Charles Taze Russell? No.

You were not even among the first set of Protestants and you are forming familiarity with them.

If protestanism is True and the true Church is meant to be one as Jesus prayed, why did the protestant reformers not agree with each other? Why is there more than one protestant church? Actually, why are there more than 1,000 protestant churches in Lagos alone? Why does almost every street in my area have at least 2 churches on them, each church claiming to possess the truth and yet they are all contradicting each other?

When Catholics from the Apostles up till now were being murdered for their faith and the bible, where were you people? Now everybody dey claim preacher and man of God. The bible tells us that there was always a physical passing of annointing, authority and Power. All Catholic priests and bishops can trace their annointing back through to the Apostles as records are kept of these. Let me ask, how many pastors can trace the annointing they received back to the 18th century, not to talk of the Apostles?

Even Paul that had a special encounter with Jesus went to The Apostles for them to lay their hands on him. And someone will wake up one day and start telling us that Jesus annointed him specially and privately. Haba! The lie no follow well na.

If you believe protestanism is true, why are you afraid of reading the Church Fathers and Early Christians? Study their writings and the Church History by Eusebius (not wikipedia) and tell me if they were protestants or JW. Or did the Apostles not teach them the Truth?

I do not mean to mock or abuse. Just want you to search for the True Light which is in Christ and his Mystical Body, the Church? John 1:4 - 5.

If you have a document, show it so everyone can see it. No document = No proof/Evidence = No Case just pure hatred.

What I am saying is no church has a perfect doctrine bcus most times we read with our own interpretation nd not that of the holy spirit. Don't forget the Protestants were once members of the catholic church, so if they broke away it was bcus they saw a flaw in the catholic doctrine and went to found their own unfortunately they themselves have not been able to produce the perfect doctrine and that is the reason they keep splitting.

Re: Help: Which Authority? The Bible Or The Catholic Church by Jolliano: 12:57pm On Dec 03, 2015
I have said this before. When you are doing proof reading (take one verse out of its context and use it as you like) to interpret the bible, you will end up contradicting both yourself and other people.

The Bible was not divided into Chapters and Verses. The individual books were written as books. They are meant to be read and studied as a whole and not in a scattered and seperated style.

Do a bible study.

If you have an issue with any Catholic doctrine, post it and let's show you how it comes from the bible. Have you tried to find out what the Early Christians taught concerning the doctrines we have and see if we invented them or if they were handed down to us from the Apostles and disciples.

Be open and consider the facts without bias or prejudice.

The Canon of the Bible was decided in 382AD at the Council of Rome. Actually, the Canon of the OT was already there and then The Catholic Church decided on which books are to be in the New testament or not and those 27 books had always been used in all The world until Martin Luther tried to remove James and Revelations.

When they say Luther saw a flaw in the Catholic Church, they do not mention what he did to the bible. Everyone just assumes the Catholic Church is wrong and so without caring for details, they start spewing what they know nothing about.

Do your research.

[quote author=preetyb post=40646902][/quote]
Ex 20:4 talks against worshiping images not making them. In Exodus 25:18-20, Moses is commanded to make images.

The problem some have is the idea of making an image of Jesus, Mary and other saints and events. They say that God did not directly command us to make those images but then Jesus did not command his disciples to write anything down but they wrote the Gospels. God did not command anyone to make the Bible in the Bible, but The Catholic Church did it and everyone accepts the bible.

So why accept the bible and reject the images? It is the same mentality and the Same people that gave them to us.
