Hello Dalcent, You answered to me by mistake, but I would like to respond. What you state concerning the creedal confession is correct. I agree with it. However in application (as stated in the catechism) there is almost no agreement. For instance, the catechism states: 1116 Sacraments are "powers that come forth" from the Body of Christ, [Cf. Lk 5:17; 6:19; 8:46] which is ever-living and life-giving. They are actions of the Holy Spirit at work in his Body, the Church. They are "the masterworks of God" in the new and everlasting covenant. This is simply a misuse of Scripture. The sacraments have no derived power. It sounds good, but the Bible never hints at this. And I could easily give other examples. Steve |

"This is simply a misuse of Scripture. The sacraments have no derived power. It sounds good, but the Bible never hints at this. And I could easily give other examples." Steve, This you your opinion. The majority of Christians in the world, Catholic and Eastern Orthodox, have a diametrically opposed posiiton and interpretation of Scripture. You have no idea how offensive it is to Catholics to hear the presumtive judgement that they are not Christians. It is the height of arrogance on the part of those who make that judgement which should be left to God alone. What Dalcent may not be aware of is that the same judgement is often also made by the same people about other Protestant Christians who do not share their exact understanding of how ( a verbal profession of faith vs a verbal and physical, i.e scramental profession, of faith in Christ)one is justified rather than by Whom one is justified.

Hello Emmaus, 1. Sheer numbers does not constitute correctness. 2. I did not say you and Dalcent were not Christians. I said the catechism misused the Bible. Steve |

Steve, I did not say or mean to imply that you said me or Dalcent were not Christians. However, I was explaining why moey got such a strong reaction from Dalcent for stating in so many words that Catholics are not Christians. Emmaus |
