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

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  (out side the CC)

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.” 

 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. 

 A position, known today as the papacy.

1Tim. 3: 15 “if I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the [SINGULAR] household of God, which is the church [SINGULAR] of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth [SINGULAR]”  

Luke 10:16 "He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me."

1 John 4: Little children, you are of God, and have overcome them; for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world, therefore what they say is of the world, and the world listens to them. We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.” 

Eph.3:  9 to 12  “And to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things;

 that through the church 

 SINGULAR: meaning  THE CATHOLIC Church]

 the  manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places. 

 This was according to the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and confidence of access through our faith in him”

Matt.13:9-12 “He who has ears, let him hear." Then the disciples came and said to him, 

Why do you speak to them in parables?"  

And he answered them, 

"To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, 

 but to them it has not been given.” 

 For to him who has will more be given, and he will have abundance;

 but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. “

2^nd. Peter 3: 14-17  “Therefore, beloved, since you wait for these, be zealous to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace. And count the forbearance of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, speaking of this as he does in all his letters.

 There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures. You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, beware lest you be carried away with the error of lawless men and lose your own stability”

                                           

Even all of this is not the complete set of warnings presented in the Bible;

 but these ought to verify my position, 

that it is nearly impossible for anyone not to be warned about the high probability of incorrect understanding of what God really taught and what he means and commands, 

without the chosen-guides that he himself has commanded. 

Those guides being exclusively of the Catholic Church.
