Q. Sola Scriptura is the true doctrine, tradition is false doctrine.

A. Obviously you did not read the many files on this website showing the falseness of this belief. I will have to ask you a few questions.
What scripture did Abraham use?
Show me the verse in the Gospels that Paul refers to in Acts 20:35? You can't find it in the Gospels because it is not written there. It is what Paul heard that the Lord had said. It was passed on to Paul and he in turn was passing it on to others, by 'word of mouth' or tradition.
What did the people use as a basis for SS from the founding of the Church until the Council of Carthage in 397? What did the population masses use to support SS from then until the time of the printing press in 1450? Was Scripture plentiful and affordable for this 1000 + years?
Is SS Scriptural? If you think it is, show me the verse after you read the SS files on this website.
Is SS historical? Show me the proof that it even existed before Martin Luther, and then show me how people could practice it when they had no Bibles.
People who believe in the false doctrine of Sola Scriptura, reject tradition, and are guilty of all the Bible verses which admonish us for taking away from the Word of GOD.

Q. Show me your Bible references for the Immaculate Conception.

A. Obviously you are a Bible only believer and I will have to say that everything is NOT written in the Bible, and the Bible even says this in John 20:30, and 21:25. Do you honestly believe that Jesus Christ was conceived in a sinful womb? Are not GOD and sin mutually excludable? Would GOD, under any circumstances be joined to anything defiled? "But your iniquities have divided between you and your GOD, and your sins have hid his His face from you that He should not hear." Isaiah 59:2...
GOD was very exacting as to how man should make the Ark of the Covenant, just to carry His Word written on stone tablets, Ex 25:8-40. It had to be perfect and no one could even touch it and live, 2Sam 6:2-8. Do you really think He would do less for the second Ark, the Blessed Virgin Mary, who carried His Incarnate Word?

However, it is Scriptural. If you will read Luke 1:28, "And when the Angel had come to her, he said, 'Hail full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women'." Now what does 'full of Grace' mean? Can a sinful body be 'full of Grace'? I do not think so. Remember, John the Baptist had not appeared on the scene yet to start the sacrament of Baptism for original sin. If GOD in his infinite power could create the entire universe out of nothing, don't you think he could create one little Jewish girl without the stain of original sin?
'Explain John 14:15-17 and 26. The Holy Spirit will dwell forever with the Church which Jesus Christ founded, and He will teach His Church all things. So if we already 'know all things by Scripture and are complete' , as fundamentalists would have us believe, then why do we need the Holy Spirit to teach us? By the way, is the Holy Spirit reading from a book or is He speaking to His Church?

Q. What makes you think the Church which Jesus Christ founded in Matt 16:18 is the Catholic Church?

A. O.K., if it is not the Catholic Church, then please tell me which Church it is? Keep in mind what Jesus Christ Himself said in Matt 28:20, "I will be with you ALL days even until the end of the world." He Himself said His Church will be here until the end of time and we all know that whatever Jesus Christ said is the truth because He IS truth. The Church He founded has to be here today. Can you trace your church back to 33 A.D.?

Q. I have heard that the Catholic Church has had some bad Popes. Is that true?

A. We have had 265 Popes starting with St. Peter up until John Paul II. There were about 6 of them who were apparently not good choices. That is a ratio of about 1 to 43. Remember Jesus Christ Himself had a ratio of only 1 to 11 when He chose the 12 Apostles. So I would say that Jesus Christ taught us that we would not be perfect everytime in making our choices. Comparing the ratios, I would say we are doing quite well, wouldn't you?
