The goal is already stated in the OP. What is your goal in trying to derail the topic? Sola scriptura means that it comes from the Bible that the Bible is the authority. The tale of Mary and the seven sorrows is in the Bible and this is the only place it is derived from. You are just simply...

Again, not purely from the RCC, Orthodox also contain this, and if you follow sola scriptura this should be acceptable as well to mainstream protestantism. Mainstream protestantism is defined as accepting the essential christian doctrines (ie: trinity, birth-life-crucifixion-resurrection of...

Again, I'm not here to discuss the Catholic faith or its dogmas. This isn't the place, this isn't the time for it. I'd also be breaking my agreement by coming to this site, because this is a site where I am to discuss the Bible. I also wanna point out. You started by attacking the Catholic...

You gave me a precious gem, I will cherish it and look deep into it thanks

I really admire you tenacity in seeking out the truth, nobody will pull the wool over your eyes if you continue doing what the Berrien's did after hearing the gospel preached. They went and searched the scriptures to see if those things are so. They weren't lazy or flippant about searching out...

. When I was a little boy, my mom taught me how to say the "lay me down to sleep" prayer. Later, in catechism, I was taught advanced versions of rote prayer like the Hail Mary, the Our father, the Act of Contrition, and Grace Before Meals. After converting to Protestantism, I discovered rote...

There is wisdom in this.

Likely, no two Christians agree absolutely on what the Bible teaches. Unless they belong to the same cult. I have not read all of Calvin or all of the Westminister confession in enough detail to be able to compare every minutiae in them. I think the writers themselves believed their confession...

All of the above are great examples of God allowing the tares to grow up with the wheat.

We are certainly a long way from achieving a unity of the faith. In answer to when is a Christian not a Christian? Before he has taken the Christian vitamin...B1.

Well put. Thanks for your insight. I agree Christianity is in a sad state. I suggest it started way before the dark ages, Acts 20:28-31. I agree there is one church and Jesus is the one head. I feel there is a lack of knowledge today. People only hear God's word when someone preaches it to...

Testing the waters I see-forgetting the what goeth before-what followeth after-to whom and with what circumstances. Hear God’s plain statement: “There is one Body.” Ephesians 4:4. Romans 12:4 and 5: “For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: “So we...

All the best. No one is that perfect. We by God's design are flawed. There are a lot more than that given in the Torah. Slavery is ok. You can rape and keep the women who are virgins and you can kill the women and children when you conquer a land because of God's command. Because God's plan was...

You are a Christian? If yes. Is the bible the word of God? If yes. Then you should read Acts 15 and Pauls letter to the galatians. There is written clearly that the Thora is not for the Christians out of the jewish background. There is not Jesus + Thora. There is written the faith in Jesus...

Dream On! :p

Depends on what you mean. True. Torah is a good way to govern a civilization. Mostly true; but if God wanted every nation throughout time to use the Torah, then he would've given it to all nations. That's not what happened. He didn't establish a new religion; but, he did establish a New...

I guess you don't believe in the New Testament, right? [Jhn 5:37-39 KJV] 37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe...
