So you mean to say that the Lockmam Foundation does not accept the teaching of the Apostles Tradition which is mentioned also in the Bible? ---------------------------------------------- Paul speaks of oral tradition as authoritative - 2 Thess. 2:15, 2 Tim. 2:2, 1 Cor. 11:2 1 Thess. 2:13 2 Thessalonians 2:15 "Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle." Early Christians followed apostolic tradition - Acts 2:42 2 Timothy 2:2 "And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit Thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also" and more ------------------------------------------------ I believed The Bible and Apostles Sacred Traditions should go hand in hand in studying the Bible to come to the true conclusion. I'm not even including the Church History yet. Thanks God Bless Al |

5 | Can catholic man marry a catholic widow | Ps 103:12 | junmeskie | 137263 | ||
I believed you can re-marry if your mate dies, but again please consult your parish Cacnon Lawyer. ----------------------------------------------- Matrimony (CCC 1601–1666) Most people are called to the married life. Through the sacrament of matrimony God gives special graces to help married couples with life’s difficulties, especially to help them raise their children as loving followers of Christ. Marriage involves three parties: the bride, the groom, and God. When two Christians receive the sacrament of matrimony, God is with them, witnessing and blessing their marriage covenant. A sacramental marriage is permanent; only death can break it (Mark 10:1–12, Rom. 7:2–3, 1 Cor. 7:10–11). This holy union is a living symbol of the unbreakable relationship between Christ and his Church (Eph. 5:21–33).

7 | Is the church is infallible? | 1 Tim 3:15 | junmeskie | 137253 | ||
I know that to be true follower of Christ is to tell the full truth regardless who disagree with you I also know that truth hurts specially when you were brought up and been lied and deceived for many years. I don't think this is what Jesus plan for us to preach social gospel (fellowship) because it only hurt people deeper later on when they found out that they were lied and deceived to by their false ministers or pastors. Jesus Christ did not found his church on the concept of "Feel Good" church most (if not all) of the Protestant churches or denominations emphasize too much on "social gospel" do not preach to me that will offend my social life style (example: gay, abortion or divorce) preach me the words only I want to hear like "No matter what lifestyle I chose to live as long I have Jesus I am save" It is also sad that most Protestant churches looks more like their preacher is the center of their worship services instead of “Eyes on Jesus” it’s more becoming like “Eyes on the Preacher” just watch the TBN some churches don’t have crosses anymore first they took the image of Jesus from the tree because it’s idolatry and associated to the Catholic church and now they took the crosses out of their churches from their pulpit what's next the Bible?

12 | The church as the pillar of Truth? | 1 Tim 3:15 | junmeskie | 137241 | ||
THE first Christians had no doubts about how to determine which claimant, among the many contending for the title, was the true Church, and which doctrines the true teachings of Christ. The test was simple: Just trace the apostolic succession of the claimants. In its concrete form, apostolic succession is the line of bishops stretching back to the apostles. All over the world, all Catholic bishops can have their lineage of predecessors traced back to the time of the apostles, something which is impossible in Protestant denominations (most of whom do not even claim to have bishops). The role of apostolic succession in preserving true doctrine is illustrated in the Bible. To make sure that the teachings of the apostles would be passed down after the deaths of the apostles, Paul told Timothy: "[W]hat you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also" (2 Tim. 2:2). In this passage he refers to the first four generations of apostolic succession--his own generation, Timothy's generation, the generation Timothy will teach, and the generation they in turn will teach. The Church Fathers, who were links in that chain of succession, regularly appealed to apostolic succession as a test for whether Catholics or heretics had correct doctrine. This was necessary because heretics simply put their own interpretations, even bizarre ones, on the Scriptures. Clearly, something other than Scripture had to be used as an ultimate test of doctrine in these cases.

now it is me who is playing games? "What is Your Authority?" This is nothing fancy, just a little script you might learn from. In Catholic Answers seminars we try to emphasize the point that you should always demand that a missionary who comes to your door first establish his authority for what he is going to tell you, and only then proceed to discuss the particular issues he has in mind. By "authority," we do not mean his personal or academic credentials. We mean his authority to claim he can rightly interpret the Bible. The missionary (unless he is a Mormon, of course, in which case his authority is the Book of Mormon) will always claim to fall back on the authority of Scripture. "Scripture says this" or "Scripture proves that," he will tell you. So before you turn to the verses he brings up, and thus to the topic he brings up, demand that he demonstrate a few things. First, ask him to prove from the Bible that the Bible is the only rule of faith (if he is an Evangelical or Fundamentalist Protestant he holds to the Reformation theory of sola scriptura—the Bible alone). Second, have him tell you how he knows which books belong in the Bible in the first place. And third, require that he prove to you both that he has the authority to interpret the Bible for you (remember that his doctrines will almost always be drawn from interpretations of the sacred text rather than the words themselves) and that his interpretations will always be accurate. Imagine the conversation goes something like this: "Good afternoon, neighbor. May I share a few words of Christian truth with you?" "Sure," you say. "Where do you get this truth?" "From the Bible, of course." "That is your authority? The Bible?" "Yes, it is the only authority for Christians." "Can you prove that from the Bible?" "What do you mean?" "I mean I do not believe the Bible claims to be the sole rule of faith. I mean the doctrine of sola scriptura is itself unbiblical. Please show me where the Bible claims such a status for itself." A Sufficient Rule of Faith? At this point the missionary probably will bring up one of several verses. The passage most commonly brought up by Evangelicals and Fundamentalists is 2 Timothy 3:16–17. In the King James Version, the verse reads this way: "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteous- ness; That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." Many claim that 2 Timothy 3:16–17 claims Scripture is sufficient as a rule of faith. But an examination of the verse in context shows that it does not claim that at all; it only claims Scripture is "profitable" (Greek: ophelimos) that is, helpful. Many things can be profitable for moving one toward a goal, without being sufficient in getting one to the goal. Notice that the passage nowhere even hints that Scripture is "sufficient"—which is, of course, exactly what Protestants think the passage means. Point out that the context of 2 Timothy 3:16–17 is Paul laying down a guideline for Timothy to make use of Scripture and tradition in his ministry as a bishop. Paul says, "But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God (Greek: theopneustos "God-breathed"), and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works" (2 Tim. 3:14–17). In verse 14, Timothy is initially exhorted to hold to the oral teachings—the traditions—that he received from the apostle Paul. This echoes Paul reminder of the value of oral tradition in 1:13–14, "Follow the pattern of the sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus; guard the truth that has been entrusted to you by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us" (RSV), and ". . . what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also" (2:2). Here Paul refers exclusively to oral teaching and reminds Timothy to follow that as the "pattern" for his own teaching (1:13). Only after this is Scripture mentioned as "profitable" for Timothy ministry. Continued http://www.catholic.com/library/What_Your_Authority.asp God Bless Al |

and that is your understanding? not the church. Janae wrote: "...Peter's and the other disciples' confession that Jesus is the Christ" ---------------------Al answer-------------- please show me the word confesion in this verse? Matt.16:18 "..That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." "..upon this rock" - something like a rock (solid) in firmness Foundation or Support "I will build my church" - to develop according to a systematic plan, by a definite process Jesus the son of a carpenter will not build (structure of a the church) a weak foundation, a son of God perfect indeed. "gates of hell"- devils or heresies "shall not prevail against it"- cannot and never be destroyed Exod.13:21 Janae wrote: "...meaning a small stone," ------------ Al answer ------------------ Jesus spoke Aramaic to his apostles Kepha or Kephas in Aramaic has only one meaning "rock" when it was translated into Greek it became an specific word Petros (masculine) Petras (feminine). Jesus called Simon (a man) Peter (Petros) not Simeona (Petras) unless he is transexual...lol Think about it? Example: Spanish Roberto - is a masculine name Roberta - is a feminine name French Piere (Peter) - is a maculine specific name No feminine name. Jesus changed the name of Simon to Peter for a reason (his church foundation) like God changed the name of Abram to Abraham Father of Nations Matt.16:18 "..That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." "..upon this rock" - something like a rock (solid) in firmness Foundation or Support "I will build my church" - to develop according to a systematic plan, by a definite process Jesus the son of a carpenter will not build (structure of a the church) a weak foundation, a son of God perfect indeed. "gates of hell"- devils or heresies "shall not prevail against it"- cannot and never be destroyed Exod.13:21 Jesus is a builder and cannot be at the same time lay a foundation to himself. He called Simon the Rock (Masculine) since you cannot build on a very weak foundation. Remember the story of the 3 Little Pigs? It's funny when people add words to the Bible and don't see it. I must have read Matthew 16:18 a thousand times (at least over 5 bible versions) I still have to see the word "Confession" in this verse. the only I can say is this "Show me where it says in the Bible?" Please show me the word CONFESSION in Matthew 16:18? Thanks God Bless Al |

15 | The church as the pillar of Truth? | 1 Tim 3:15 | junmeskie | 137146 | ||
Jesus promised Peter our First Pope in Matthew 16:19 : I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Jesus is referring to Isaiah 22:22 I will place the key of the House of David on his shoulder; when he opens, no one shall shut, when he shuts, no one shall open. This is the reason the Pope has the authority to bind and lose when it comes to 1) Doctrine and 2) Moral only. If you uphold the bible please understand these verses too. God Bless Al |

All I have to say is read the whole Chapter slowly and understand the words literally, don not add your own personal interpretations nor try to refute them with other similar verses. Unless you read the whole Bible and understand what it says you will never understand his words. If you believed that there is one church who compiled the New Testament it will also be the one church who will have sole authority to define it. God Bless Jun |

Steve wrote: We don't canonize anything because it's already done. Al question by who? So you mean that at the time of the apostles the Bible already existed? Is it not that at the time of Jesus and the apostles all they have is the Old Testament (in scrolls or Torah) and that the New Testament are not even finish being written or recorded? Until almost 400 years later after Jesus crucifixion. In the years 392-397 AD in the Town named Hippo, South Africa, The Catholic Bishops headed by Saint Augustine...selected the 27 out of over 300 Books for the New Testament and was cannonized by the Pope. Ever noticed those early paintings showing Catholic monks hand scripting scrolls to a big book (Biblia)? I'm sure you will still see these paintings in some museums or encyclopedia. Fr. Martin Luther O.S.A. (Augustinian Monk) Excommunicated By Pope Leo took 7 books out, in fact he wanted to take more books out like the books of James and The Revelation. This is the reason that the Protestant bible is less books than the Catholic bible. God Bless Al |
