Of course, that's why we can pray to the saints in heaven. It's why " we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses " (Hebrews 12:1)

I said Catholicism and Orthodoxy are the oldest Trinitarian Christianities. That verse is merely consistent with the Trinity being God, but the Trinity being God is the furthest thing from "obvious" in that verse. No, the Trinity is not 'proven' in any single scripture, nor in all of them put...

It is not. You don't have to go to Mass unless you believe in Jesus. And if you 'skip' you only have to visit the confessional before receiving Communion again. In no way are the police involved, so your rights are always intact. OK.

I don't know what you're talking about. Catholicism is completely liberal. You have the right to freedom of conscience, the right to worship and think as you see fit, but Catholicism has a definitely position on all these matters as well, Catholicism does not believe the police should ever be...

There've been tons of Catholics who believe in any sort of thing, that doesn't mean Catholicism believes that thing.

It seems like it must be the latter. lol OK. :)

Free will is a Catholic idea too.

I didn't ask you if you were. Fact is you're not a Trinitarian, and Catholicism and Orthodoxy are the original Trinitarianisms, and so of course you're against them both, so the Protestant 'oral tradition' that you can worship God according to your own personal private reading of the Bible is...

Baptized "with the Holy Ghost" right? Luke 3:16 Right. House of Israel, Nation of Israel, Israel and Judah. Ah, for Dispensationalists they are.

And you're not a Trinitarian Christian, and so that's your primary reason for being Anticatholic in everything, because Catholicism and Orthodoxy are the original Trinitarian Christianities.

You either believe the Trinity is God (a Catholic and Orthodox doctrine) or you don't. Which one are you again?

Obviously you have a bunch of falsities that you must maintain in order to support your extreme and wildly minority position.

Great, so "of the same body" as whom? To whom is that promise made? To the house of Israel, right?

False. Nobody 'understands' what you're talking about here. Not just me. Wherever there are mouths and ears, especially when the mouths in this case are in the Apostles' heads, and the ears are in the heads of the men they made bishops. Sure. Plain. Paul wrote about oral traditions that...

Duh what? There's oral tradition in every culture. "My kind"?

Excellent, agreed.

Tons of things exist 'outside scripture', and so what. Show me chapter and verse where if it's not explicit in the Bible then we shouldn't believe it. It's not in there.

We're not 'blasphemers', the opposite is closer to the truth. You guys are the blasphemers, if anybody is. Nobody worships Mary because nobody offers sacrifices to Mary, plain and simple. We offer sacrifices to the Father and to Him alone, that's what the Eucharist is.

The virus is driving it. I haven't had a cold since before the pandemic, I mask up in every store, avoid eating in restaurants, and keep six feet away from everyone who lives outside my home when not masked. Agreed!

Which "body"? Which "promise"?
