Catholicism vs Protestantism

Nothing in the Bible about Peter?

Jerome on the apocrypha;
In translating the Old Testament, something struck Jerome: the books the Jews regarded as Holy Scripture did not include the books we know as the Apocryphal. These books had been included in the Septuagint, the basis of most older translations, and Jerome was compelled by the church to include them. But he made it clear that in his opinion the Apocryphal books were only liber ecclesiastici (church books to be read for edification), as opposed to the fully inspired liber canonici (canonical books to establish doctrine). Over one thousand years later, the leaders of the Reformation would follow Jerome’s lead and not include the Apocrypha in the Protestant Bibles.

then you believe something that is not true.


yes!
but anything written by a human, including my posts and your posts, may contain error.
as such, there is nothing wrong with questioning their claims.


no, I do not always say that.

I told you in post #2144.
If you want to ignore the evidence of history so be it.

He seems to have a blinkered view of the Church and ignore all the other 22 Rites of the Catholic Church.
I note from Wikipedia he founded an organisation called the Orthodox Roman Catholic Movement.

To my knowledge there are 2 way of thinking

Modern philosophy and post modern philosophy

Modern philosophy believe there is ultimate truth

The way you think is more like post modernism.

Anyway I think I've had enough of this topic.

I think there are far more than two ways of thinking.

what leads you to imply that I think that there is no ultimate truth?

Why do you imply that there are different kinds of Truth?

In your view, what is the difference between ultimate truth and other kinds of Truth?

At least not under the Sun. No.

I would say the living word still abides in mankind .But God is no longer bringing new prophecies. The witness of his word is complete .There are no loving laws missing by which we could know Him more adequately. We have the perfect (face to face)

The effects are innumerable multiplying . By it we try the spirits to see if of men seen(oral traditions) or of God not seen .If any man later that John on the island of Patmos say "Lo is Christ" we are commanded not to believe. He warned us before the closing of new prophecy

The easy way yoked with Christ to separate. false prophets as false apostles .

Just use the year of the last revelation of prophecy .Within a fifty year period

No Jehovah witnesses, no Mormons, no Mohamed's, no eastern religions etc/. One true prophet the living abiding word of God.

The books that Protestants removed from the Bible were all OT books and so not relevant to the issue of Peter.
Of course Luther removed James initially but later was obliged to re-insert it.

Garee it's not about when the public revelation ended. The oral tradition can't end as long as faith is through hearing.

The latter is complicated. I suppose you don't want to know this but
England = England
England + Wales = Britain
England + Wales + Scotland = Great Britain
England + Wales + Scotland + Northern Ireland = United Kingdom.
Simple.

I am not but you do

I believe Jesus is the ultimate truth.

Lumen gentium is lie

And you always say, it may but there is different way of thinking

I only believe true or false.

You do believe something else,

postmodernism believe there is no truth.
What consider truth in USA may false in Middle East.

What is false to me like lumen gentium may true for you and for catholic.

I only believe true or false.

Hi Dan,
I said this earlier


I've just thought of an analogy between Church and the above which I will call "State"

Short name
State: United Kingdom
Church: Catholic Church

Long Name
State: United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Church: One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church

Components
State: Nations - England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Irish
Church: Rites -Roman/Latin, Syro Malabar, Melkite, etc. (20 more)

Individual (i.e. me)
State: born - English
Church: baptised - Roman Rite

so I think it's important to be aware of

that's an interesting analogy!

when you say,
"Church: baptised - Roman Rite"
do you mean that you were baptized into the Roman rite?
or, as I think more probable, do you mean that you were baptized into Christ and currently participate in the Roman rite?
