Originally posted by galveston75You "have no idea what" Catholic theologians would say? Are you being honest here?
I have no idea what they would all say. Maybe you can research that for us?
You quoted something saying "Theologians agree that..." there is no 'Trinity'.
Are Catholic theologians not "theologians"?
Originally posted by galveston75The Doctrines and creeds were written after the Holy Bible to give definitions and explain the teachings of Christianity in order to fight against the false teachings or heresies that were coming into the Church. They are not in the Holy Bible, but are a supplement to the Holy Bible to keep Christians on the straight and narrow way proclaimed by our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. They are still useful today to fight against heresies such as the old Arian heresy proclaimed by the Watchtower society.
You guys really should read these and do some research.....

"Well believe it or not I do read liturature from many sources just as the WTS does. Maybe this is how we do know what other religions believe?"
And yet now here you are claiming to "have no idea what" Catholics believe in terms of the trinity?
In which post were you being 'economical with the truth'? One or the other.

Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, “Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
(Matthew 15:1-2 NKJV)
HalleluYah !!! Praise the Lord! Holy! Holy! Holy!

merges them with metal riffs, a bit like acid jazz does with traditional jazz tunes. I got
my EMU 1616m up and running again along with adobe audition and it should only be a
matter of time before I record some tracks and let them loose of the www. This time I
am recording with microphone (Rhode) rather than direct and i cannot believe the
difference in sound dynamics.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieYes, I agree that there are some of those, but not the Church fathers. We should listen to the church fathers because they were closest to the knowledge passed on by the spostles.

I just threw that Spanky in there for fun. I do not mean any disrespect by it. However, it woud be nice if you stopped taking things out of context and then quoting it to back up a false belief from the watchtower.
