Protestant Theology & Catholic Doctrines
Exposed to cover & discover the “Naked Truth“... Catholic responses to the Booklet:
“Answers to my Catholic Friends” by Thomas F. Heinze
A Catholic reply to Protestant “[mis]- Understandings” Part 1
“I Am Catholic” by Pat Miron
A message to our non-Catholic Friends
Psalm 95:8 “If today You Hear His Voice; Harden Not Your Hearts”
What became immediately apparent is the sincerity of the positions held by Mr. Heinze., and his evident desire to be factual and true. Which only affirms my own opinion that God Himself has a role in these well-intended Protestant positions which , nevertheless, reflect serious-errant misunderstandings of Catholic Doctrines and Dogma, along with an in ability to separate “church-practices,” which can change, from doctrine and dogma which cannot be changed. God Himself limits their ability to understand the bible by imposing upon them the plague of Ignorance. This will be proven and become very evident as we proceed though the booklet Thomas authored, and which, God willing, we shall prove and provide biblical evidence of that explains and supports the Catholic Positions.
I have for sometime now been Blessed by God, and able to recognize God’s hand in the lack of RIGHT understanding of what the bible really says as a rather common Protestant trait. In fact; it seems to be one thing many of the denominations have in common. This ought not be a surprise to any of us who are “bible-savvy,” as clear warning is given by God through the bible itself., in a variety of ways.
Let’s begin with an understanding that the Bibles is a Catholic Book,
in a very specific and precise manner. [This too is often debated as if there were actually grounds to despite it].
It is the Catholic Church that “birthed the Bible.”
ED- note
yes indeed the early church assembled the scripture for the new testement-- and 3/4 of that is by the Apostle Paul..
and as in acts 19: 1-7, into what have you been baptised into??
It is historically provable that it was the Catholic Church that selected and collected the Old Testament books to be included as part of the bible; and the entire New Testament is authored by men known today, to have been early Fathers of today’s Catholic Church.
It was the Catholic Church that Codified and selected officially all of the books to be included in the bible..
Further as the bible was completely written by the end of the First Century; the only “church” that existed anywhere in the known world, is historically proven to be, today’s Catholic Church.
Thus, all references in the bible to “church” or “churches” are a direct reference to today’s Catholic Church. And the final point, is that it is Jesus Himself who first introduced the term “church” in
Matthew 16:15-19, when
He appointed Peter as the first leader of this one- church.
ED-note James was the 1st overseer in the Jeweslam group
A position, known today as the papacy.
2nd. Peter 1: 16-21 “You will do well to pay attention to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,
except now of course
because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.”
Acts.20: 28
“Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care
for the church of God [SINGULAR] which he obtained with the blood of his own Son.”
John 10: 1-3 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door [I Christ choose] but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber but he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
To him the gatekeeper opens; the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
