Something else Jesus gave the Church on Good Friday!

Posted in Apologetics, Bible, catholic church, tagged , , on March 24, 2008 | 1 Comment »

 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
Then saith [...]

Practical observation about Sola Scriptura

Posted in Apologetics, Bible, tagged , , , on March 20, 2008 | No Comments »

Today at work, a situation occurred that is a good example of why Sola Scriptura is problamatic as a doctrine. As a Catholic, I do not believe in the heresy of Sola Scriptura. Sola Scriptura, for those who don’t already know, means Bible Alone.

While at work today, a coworker asked me if I had seen Lewis Black’s show on Comedy Central last night. I had never heard of Lewis Black. He indicated to me that it was a Catholic Church versus Oprah show. My coworker thought it was hilarious. Of course he thinks everything negative about the Catholic Church is hilarious and does [...]
