Believers debating does not look good to the lost and may lead them further away from the Lord.

I disagree. The Apostle Paul debated others, so debate isn't a bad thing as long as it doesn't become contentious.

while this is clearly an attempt to bait some people into some catholic vs protestant argument thread, I'll say it honestly doesn't matter which one you support to me.

OK, so your opinion is that doctrine doesn't matter.

Anyone who claims to be a Christian and yet "protests" against Catholic teachings is by definition a "Protestant". If you don't believe me, then look it up in any dictionary and you'll see that I'm telling you the truth. So by you claiming that you are neither Catholic nor Protestant, then you are essentially claiming that you are not a Christian.

Your response just shows your desire to have this turn into some kind of witch-hunt or self-martyrdom. Ive been to protestant churches and Ive been to catholic churches. Really wasnt a huge difference between the two as far as the service went. So no to me it really doesnt matter if someone is catholic or protestant. I dont care be what you want. to me its not much different than pentecostal or united methodist, again its their choice. Im not going to condemn people for picking one or the other, and trying to start an argument thread over it is rather immature.

lookuptoseeJesus, you claim to be a Christian right? And yet you just "protested" against Catholicism by saying it ignores the Bible. Hence, since you are "protesting" against Catholic teaching, then by definition, you are a "Protestant". Again, look up the word "Protestant" in any dictionary and you will see that I am correct.

At least the JW's have the decency to say 'hello' before they expect you listen to their dribble. I don't need any youtube 'debate' to know the RCC is WRONG on so many points, had you bothered to look through the forums FIRST you might have come to the same conclusion. Oh and btw: welcome to CC. :rolleyes:

Jesus did not establish the Catholic Church. Jesus was crucified by the Romans between 30 and 36 AD. It wasn't until Constantine became emperor in 306 AD that Rome adopted christianity and only because they (the Romans) could not stop this new movement call christianity through their persecutions. The Roman Catholic Church then went on to bring pagan traditions and customs into christianity and as a result the Protestant Reformation was born in the 16th century. The Roman Catholic Church also persecuted the saints of God again during the Dark Ages. That was the second time persecuting God's people, there is a third time coming.

Rome was not the first.

Acts 11:26 ... And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Any debate of no use. Peter was been first bishop of Rome, and prophet Elija will be the last bishop of Rome (under name of Peter II). Funny thing - when Elija and Enoch will be in Vatican, Roman Church willl be converted in Orthodoxy.

But, the last Pope is not a man who likes debates. And in order to gather chosen hebrews and christians he will burn (kill by fire) his foes (as well as judaic, protestant and orthodox opponents).

OK, so once again you are saying that doctrine is meaningless to you. You are saying that doctrine(The teachings of Jesus and his Apostles) "really doesn't matter" and that you "don't care" about people believing in the one true doctrines from God. So you think its OK for a Pentecostal to reject the Holy Trinity doctrine and instead embrace the Oneness false doctrine. I guess you are also OK with Mormons accepting Joseph Smith as being a prophet from God. I guess you are also OK with Jehovah Witnesses rejecting the fact that Jesus is God Almighty in the flesh.

Doctrine that is biblical is the only thing of value in the church. Traditions handed down through the ages are not of any value if they contradict what God has written in the bible. The pope does not speak for God even ex cathedra. The pope is not the vicar of Christ. The Holy Spirit is the vicar of Christ.

Where Protestants deviate from the bible they are in error. Where Catholics deviate from the bible they are in error. The way, the truth and the life is Christ not Protestant or Catholic religions. Christ established a church that is a living organism not a man made organization.
