[@kenmcrae8591]

I'm not Protestant, but I don't think Dr. Bergsma did justice to the Protestant understanding of "the works of the Law." They certainly believed The Law includes the Ten Commandments, the Moral Law. They taught that a perfect keeping of The Comnandments cannot cleanse us from sin, and reconcile us to God. Only the blood of the morally spotless Lamb of God can cleanse and save us. Perfect obedience to The Moral Law can never "merit" God's forgiveness of our past sins; which forgiveness comes only by the Atonement of Christ, for our sins, and its personal appropriation by faith; i.e. believing that Jesus died for us, and atoned for our sins, so that we could be forgiven & reconciled to God. Therefore, ìf a perfect keeping of The Moral Law can't earn for us forgiveness of ALL our past sins, then neither can a perfect keeping of ALL the Sacraments and Canon Laws of the Church. Our faith must not be placed in any type of works by us, but only in the power of The Blood of Christ, to remove the barrier(s) that separate us from God. That is the fairest presentation of the Protestant theology, as far as I know.

I find it interesting that Protestants say that it is by faith alone and not by anything that we could do… however, to them baptism does nothing and should be delayed until the person decides to do it. Seems that the decision to be baptized is placing all the Grace on the person instead of what Jesus can do. It is Jesus who cleanses so it seems that we would get baptized ASAP. Baptism is like the OT circumcision and the of the presentation.

[@HAL9000-su1mz]

Let me get this straight: the "believer's baptism" teaches that one must be old enough to know that baptism does nothing before consenting to it? Beam me up, Scotty!

According to Blessed Ann Emmerich, both Mary and Joseph belonged to the Essenes as did their families. They all were praying for the soon coming of the Messiah. Mary had promised herself to God, before the angel brought to her God's request. Joseph likewise had vowed himself to God. Neither had wanted to marry, but God wanted them to have the special task of raising Jesus. They were indeed a "Holy Family."

One thing that always fascinated me about all this pre-christian thought was the approach of Mormons. It seems that protestants, in their choosing to forego history, creates the impression that the church is just some spontaneous thing that suddenly comes on the scene in 30 AD. Mormons, with the book of Mormon meant to be a kind of preservation of 1st temple thought, seem to go way too hard in trying to prove how far back certain doctrines go. For example, the use of synagogues seems to be essentially anachronistic according to how early the BoM places them in history. Though I don't see Mormonism as from God, the confidence of their scriptures to place so many things seemingly before their reasonable entrance into Jewish thought stirs up a kind of exuberance in me. How early can the catholic church go in her claims using extra-biblical sources? What about the Samaritan's ? The rabbis and sages preceding the new testament? What about the Jewish communities that didn't move back after the building of the 2nd temple? I wonder, if we could draw things from Zoroastrianism. It would be so cool to find a book or something that talks about monasticism or something in like 500 b.c. !

[@paxcoder]

Your comment reminds me of a tab I have open with a video title: Purifying our Internal Senses: _Imagination_ and Memory. Obvioiusly, it is not about things supposedly hidden (hint) in the past or otherwise (cf gnostic heresy). We are prideful beyond salvation in ourselves, may Christ deliver us unto humility and save us. May we surrender to His will and cast away all that makes us stumble, even if so dear to us as our own eyes! Jesus orders us to renounce even our family for the sake of the Kingdom, and to renounce our very selves in order to follow Him? Now, for some reason, the Catechism does mention pagan worship practices and draws parallel between them and true worship. But in no way does it affirm paganism in doing so. The true faith that may or may not be emulated by pagans is available to you in its completeness in the Catholic church. There exists nothing of value that does not come from God, above all the spiritual. If I may humbly suggest, seek peace instead of excitement. I value it over excitement not in eternity only (and eternity should be our focus), but also in this world. See this short video please: /watch?v=ZkyKKpwntwI (this one is a great rule for discernment by padre Pio, that is related to the last things I said)

[@andrewpearson1903]

I love to find and pick out pre-Christian anticipations of Jesus and Christianity. The early Christians found them everywhere: they said that Virgil's Fourth Eclogue was about Jesus instead of Augustus Caesar, one of the Greek oracles made a famous prophecy that turned out to be an acrostic containing the Name & roles of Jesus, and Tertullian pointed out that idols were usually supported by metal rebar in the shape of a cross. And as we expand out into the world and try to evangelize other societies with their religions and customs, we can look for more of these.

It's amazing to me that American Evangelicals, who profess to be Christian, can believe that modern practitioners of Judaism are still the "chosen people" and hold Christian zionist beliefs. We know now due to DNA that most Jews aren't, especially Ashkenazi, aren't descended from the original Israelites. The Romans didn't exile the entire population of Israel after 70 AD, nor did the Muslims, many converted to Christianity or Islam and many continued to practice Judaism, while some migrated. Christian zionism falls apart after one understands the history of the population of Palestine. It already doesn't make sense from a purely Christian perspective.

No. All sacraments are “normally” administered by ordained clergy only. Baptism may be administered by any confirmed Catholic but that is not normal and not advised. There are some sacraments only administered by bishops, some by bishops and priests, some by bishops, priests and deacons.

@@johnchung6777 yes that is correct. Jesus only baptized His apostles. Do you think only apostles were meant to be baptized? After the resurrection, the books of Acts records (16:15 16:33; 18:8) whole households or families being baptized. Now if the idea for you about baptism is a cognitive decisive on the baptized ONLY then that is a different issue, which in Catholicism is dealt with in the sacrament of Confirmation. Many Protestants conflate the 2 from their perspectives and not from our perspective. It helps to understand our purposes of each sacraments and not conflate your understanding of your baptism on our infants. Our Baptism on our infants is not the same as what you expect.

catholic baptism doesn't save anyone. salvation is not through the catholic church's man-made false doctrines, rituals, traditions, sacraments, dogmas, ect. the bible is very clear that salvation is by faith, through grace, in Jesus Christ alone. faith comes from God the Father alone. neither salvation or faith comes from the false roman catholic church, which tries to use things like the eucharist/mass as a means of attaining both salvation and faith. the eucharist/mass is a wicked re-sacrifice of Christ, defying that Christ's death on the cross, was the final and complete sacrifice.

For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him.’ And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this crooked generation.’ So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.” (cf. 9:17-18; 1 Corinthians 12:13: both associate the Holy Spirit with baptism) Acts 22:16 “And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.” (cf. 9:17-18) Romans 6:3-4 “Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” 1 Corinthians 6:11 “And such were some of you.

You have a heretical knowledge of Christianity. You are not alone. Throughout the ages there have been many such individuals who came to disagree with Church teaching and founded their own SECTS. So, there have been many such sects but only one Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church.

Arrogance impelled by ignorance of Christianity.

All lies. Your heretical beliefs are nothing new. Unfortunately they've led many to hell over the centuries.

[@mikejames303]

So sad you're not Christian although you claim to be one.

@qvrty...: No. He hasn't been seduced, but you have been lied to.
