What are the effects of the Catholic & Mormons use of the Bible?

Question

Christian reading their Bible prayerfully, We have the same faith and reached the same conclusions. This is the true body of Christ.

What about Catholic & Mormons use of Catechism and Book of Mormons?

The first type of Christian I found is “The Dead Christian”.

The second type of Christian I found is “The Bound Christian”.

The third type of Christian is the “Free Christian”.

The fourth and final type of Christian I found is the “Complete Christian”.

spiritro,

It is the doctrines of the bible alone which save souls, convert wayward minds and strengthens the faithful.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 2 Timothy 3:16

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.

What about the Book of Catechism and Book of Mormons?

Everyday,

Do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. You should have a healthy skepticism.

Pastor Billy,

Again, The Bible forbid lying Pastors.

So, go eat your chicken. :)

DougLawr,

The True Original Church was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, but the Catholic Church changed the mode of Baptism from Jesus's name to the titles Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Keep in mind, You have a right to know the Historical and Biblical facts for yourself.

DougLawr,

Tell me, What 8 Scriptures show that there is no foundation in the Scriptures for the Papacy? Try reading your catechism if this 8 is biblical. I'll wait.

Rome has privately interpreted eight scriptures "infallibly" and every one of them was spiritually incorrect.

Answer 1

Whaaaaaa?

Answer 2

The Catholic catechism is simply a teaching tool, not meant to replace or compete in any way with Sacred Scripture. These types of text have been in use since the earliest church. The Didache is believed to have been written as early as 50 AD. It is a catechism that gave instructions for worship and sacraments in the church. Even Martin Luther published a catechism.

To imply that that the use of the catechism somehow makes Catholics unchristian is very arrogant. This has been in practice since the time of the apostles. Although maybe you believe that you living in 2007 have a better grasp than they did what the true body of Christ looks like.

By the way, where did your bible come from? If it weren't for Catholic monks painstakingly transcribing it before the printing press you wouldn't have those Scriptures today.

Answer 3

Jesus said:

Mat 28:19 Go therefore, teach ye all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.

Jesus never said that ANYONE had to use a bible to do it.

Jesus never commanded anyone to write a single word of scripture.

In fact, the entire new testament had yet to be written, at the time.

It was the late day protestant reformers who made up their own rules, based not on what the bible plainly states, but on their own whims.

Nowhere in scripture does the bible state that it is the sole, or even the primary rule of the Christian faith.

The bible says that the church is the pillar and ground of the truth.

The Catholic Catechism explains the Christian faith in all it's aspects more clearly and completely than anyone else.

It does so while providing copius references to scripture, as well as to the teachings and writings of many of the finest scholars and theologians who have ever lived.

I challenge anyone to produce a better or more detailed theological work, that not only illuminates all the teachings of the Christian faith, from the earliest days, but also provides the authentic context for all of the scriptures.

Answer 4

"Christian reading their Bible prayerfully, We have the same faith and reached the same conclusions."

If you have all reached the same conclusions, then why are there 100's of denominations which interpret the Bible differently?

There is very little agreement on Scripture among non-Catholic Christians.

If you read the Catechism of the catholic Church you will see lots of footnotes that reference the Bible.

example:

The Jewish faith, unlike other non-Christian religions, is already a response to God's revelation in the Old Covenant. To the Jews "belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ",(Rom 9:4-5). "for the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable."(Rom 11:29).

Answer 5

Pastor Billy says: I'm still trying to figure out what a house speaker is? Is that some sort of audio equipment the dog loves to pee on?

Glad you realize "the bible forbids lying preachers" so when are you going to get out of the pulpit HS?

That is correct sparty Protestants have numerous catechisms shall I educate HS and list them?

addition: just taking a shot at this but something HS wrote makes me think he is a Oneness Pentecostal that denies the Holy Trinity One God. I believe this group is called United Pentecostals but am not sure. They basically deny the person of the Father and Holy Spirit hence the baptism in only the Son's name of Jesus.

Answer 6

The "true body of Christ" is not some ambiguous, undefinable thing. I find that Christians are too quick to use this term to soothe the inevitable pains of conscience that result from looking at the reality of the (non-Catholic) Christian religion: It is divided and scattered, and tremendously so, and unlike Catholics and Mormons, it has no way, except for using anonymous terms like "the true body of Christ," to determine who has authority, who actually belongs to Jesus.

It's like saying, "We don't know who has Jesus' authority today. We just know it isn't you. If we did know, we're sure it would be somebody like us."

Jesus did not found a Church and leave his apostles at its head in order to create some secret, elite "true body" that nobody has ever seen or heard of, some wishful way of uniting splinter groups who had rebelled against the Church's authority. Jesus' physical Church and its leaders and members -were- that body. The Church -is- the authority. The Original Church -produced- the Bible, not the other way around. Whenever God's servants have been on the earth, his word has been delivered through them, and scripture has been born.

Ergo, the "true body" today will be producing more Bible. The Cathechism et cetera perhaps fit that description; Mormon scripture does by definition. "Mainstream" Christianity, on the other hand, is completely opposed to the idea of continuing God's word; it thereby excludes itself from consideration of being Christ's "true body".

...In their favor, what Bible they do have, Christians at least try to adhere to.

Answer 7

The last part of your statement an interesting description of the phases I went through as a developing Christian.

Answer 8

Catholics are the ones who reach the same conclusions. You guys have as many different conclusions as sects.



House - doesn't negate what I said. Folks like you have 20,000 different conclusions. And everyday answered you about the catechism. Apparently you've never read it alongside the Bible.
