The following is a typical Roman Catholic mischaracterization of Sola Fide as “faith by itself.” . This is not what Protestants believe. We affirm that we are saved by grace through faith alone, but saving faith is never alone. It is always accompanied by the fruit of good.
Christians are not saved by Faith Alone. So why do so many Protestants believe they are?. It all comes down to a misreading of St. Paul…

Just a simple reminder that the assertion of Roman Catholic unity is more fantasy than.reality.

Roman Catholics often accuse the Reformers of “inventing” a new religion or devising novel doctrines that challenged what they claim the Church had always believed. The historical record reveals a Church that, by the 12th century, often repressed dissent with violence. Here is.

Why do Roman Catholics so vehemently defend every doctrine? Because every part supports the whole. If the papacy falls, infallibility collapses. If infallibility collapses, so does the authority of tradition. And if tradition crumbles, the Magisterium loses its foundation. It’s a.

Don’t say “The Church defined dogma centuries after the apostles”.Say “I don’t read church history”. Don’t say “That verse clearly doesn’t mean that”.Say “I outsourced my exegesis to Rome”. Don’t say “Mary was assumed into heaven”.Say “I read it somewhere… just not in the Bible”.
Don't say "Faith alone saves".Say "I don't read my bible". Don't say "The Eucharist is just a symbol".Say "I don't read my bible". Don't say "Mary sinned like everyone else".Say "I don't read my bible". Don't say "Tradition is manmade".Say "I don't read my bible". Don't say "The.

Scripture reveals Jesus Christ as fully God and fully man—a profound mystery theologians call the "hypostatic union." Understanding this truth is vital for the church’s faith, worship, and mission today. Read more here 👇.

And, if you look at @JustinRoyHarvey profile it states that he is a graduate student in Philosophy and Theology--In Indiana. Perhaps Noter Dame? Maybe we should find out where he is attending school and see if his online behavior comports with his University.

First, Roman Catholics criticize Protestants for making the Bible our ultimate authority. Now we’re apparently guilty of “outsourcing our thinking” to 17th-century Reformers. Give it a few more minutes and they’ll start faulting us for listening to the Church Fathers too—just.
@rickbrennanjr @KennyBurchard So taking sola scriptura seriously means outsourcing your thinking to the works of a 17th century Scotsman?.

Here we have a Roman Catholic convert engaging in triumphalism over Matthew Barrett’s move from the SBC to Anglicanism. But that hasn’t been my experience at all. In my church, the more people study Scripture and immerse themselves in the depth of our Protestant theological.
My Baptist friends need to understand that there will be a lot more like Matthew Barrett because more and more laymen are reading deeper theology and not relying on Piper and MacArthur sermons for their theological development anymore. Proper covenant theology necessarily leads.

An ill-informed Roman Catholic apologist asks why Reformed Christians need so many books. The answer’s simple: because we actually study Scripture, theology, and church history, rather than stopping at “that’s what the Church teaches.” Those 20-volume sets? That’s what it looks.
Facebook tries to sell me “Reformation” books every single day. Huge collections of 20 volume sets cloth bound with gold letters. And I always think “Sola Scriptura and perspicuity of Scripture folks need so many books. But why though?”

Your presentation claims to summarize Protestant objections to the veneration of statues and images, but it is both incomplete and misleading. This is a simplistic list suggesting Protestants object merely because Catholics “removed the 2nd commandment,” believe “statues are.

Not quite. Anglicanism is hardly as straightforward as your comparison suggests. At one end, you have Anglo-Catholics, who often appear like “Roman Catholic lite,” and at the other, groups like the ACNA, who resemble Reformed Baptists with episcopal governance. Then there’s the.
@rickbrennanjr It’s not hard…the same same way you’d understand the following. 1. Southern Baptist Convention (SBC).2. American Baptist Churches USA (ABCUSA).3. National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. (NBCUSA).4. National Baptist Convention of America, Inc. (NBCA).5. Progressive National.
