"Proving Catholicism to be teaching false doctrine, and thus a manmade church"

My opponent says I was snow storming, I call it being complete and providing as much information possible to make sure he has all the necessary scriptures needed to fully understand his error that he's been taught by the Catholic church without a doubt. Tautology and Red Herring is your obvious ploy in this debate, as I gave you complete detail on everything I answered. Let me make this clear to my opponent on my belief, 1. We are not a denomination. 2. We are not protestant. 3.We are autonomous 4. We go by the bible only, as my opponent cannot show proof of oral traditions being inspired, because they are all outside of the inspired word, such as original sin, sprinkling infants, praying to the dead, purgatory, and on and on and on which none are in the inspired word of God. 5. The churches of Christ was established in AD33 on the day of Pentecost. 6. You must go according to the Apostles teachings which states one must be immersed to be saved, Acts 2;38, Mark 16;16. 7. Singing only is authorized in the New Testament, Ephesians 5;19, Colossians. I ask my opponent to prove that instruments are allowed by going according to the New Testament pattern as which we are all to be under. 8. We take the Lord's supper every Lord's day, and we do not turn the blood and body into a real body which is cannibalism, we are simply to do this in remembrance of me, which isn't meaning to literally eat and drink his blood. ,Acts 20:7King James Version (KJV). 7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. King James Bible, 1Corinthians 11;24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 9. We give every Lord's day, King James Bible, 1 Corinthians 16;2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. 10. My opponent falsely changed what the scripture of 2 Timothy 3;16 to say, by his own words, and I quote him, BTW, 2 Timothy still says "useful" or "profitable" and not "sufficient for all matters of faith". end of quote. Here's what the verse actually says, 2 Timothy 3:16King James Version (KJV) 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: My opponent intentionally added the words "and not ", thus falsifying what the scriptures say. 11. We are called Christians only, King James Bible, Acts 11;26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. 12. We believe in the Trinity as the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, which are three distinct personalities able to function on their own or all together. 1 John 5:7-8 - For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. (Read More...) John Chapter 14 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 1 John 4:2. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; John 1:14 .And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. 13. The bible is complete, no other source is needed nor inspired, again, if my opponent wishes to prove by scripture that another book is inspired, then I urge him to bring forth that proof. 14. Now you know all about who, when, where, why and what about the only true church, that being the churches of Christ, not the Catholic church. 15. For any other information needed here is another site to back up and provide even greater information on the churches of Christ. http://traces-of-the-kingdom.org... My opponent can go to this site for a more detailed look at the lies and deception of the practices of the Catholic church. http://www.lavistachurchofchrist.org... A list of false teachings in the Roman Catholic Church by Matt Slick The Protestant Reformation happened for a reason. Basically, it was to combat the many false teachings that the Roman Catholic Church had adopted through the centuries. When Martin Luther compared Catholicism to Scripture, the result was his nailing the 95 theses to the Wittenberg door. However, instead of reforming the Roman Catholic Church, it resulted in the protesters, the Protestants, whose aim was to get back to the Scriptures. Following is a summarized paragraph with references found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) of many of the false teachings of Roman Catholicism. How do we know they are false? By comparing Scripture with what is taught. ----------------------- The Catholic Church is the one true church (CCC 2105), Infallibility of the Catholic Church, (CCC 2035), Only the Roman Catholic Church has authority to interpret Scripture (CCC 100), The Pope is the head of the church and has the authority of Christ (CCC 2034), The Roman Catholic Church is necessary for salvation (CCC 846), Sacred Tradition equal to scripture (CCC 82), Forgiveness of sins, salvation, is by faith and works (CCC 2036 CCC 2080 2068), Full benefit of Salvation is only through the Roman Catholic Church (Vatican 2, Decree on Ecumenism, 3), Grace can be merited (CCC 2010 CCC 2027), The merit of Mary and the Saints can be applied to Catholics and others (1477), Penance is necessary for salvation (CCC 980), Purgatory (CCC 1031 CCC 1475), Indulgences (CCC 1471 CCC 1478 CCC 1498 CCC 1472), Mary is Mediatrix (CCC 969), Mary brings us the gifts of eternal salvation (CCC 969), Mary delivers souls from death (CCC 966), Prayer to the saints (CCC 2677), The Communion elements become the actual body and blood of Christ (CCC 1374 CCC 1376). 1.The Catholic church is the one true church 1. CCC 2105 "The duty of offering God genuine worship concerns man both individually and socially. This is 'the traditional Catholic teaching on the moral duty of individuals and societies toward the true religion and the one Church of Christ.' By constantly evangelizing men, the Church works toward enabling them 'to infuse the Christian spirit into the mentality and mores, laws and structures of the communities in which [they] live.' The social duty of Christians is to respect and awaken in each man the love of the true and the good. It requires them to make known the worship of the one true religion which subsists in the Catholic and apostolic Church. Christians are called to be the light of the world. Thus, the Church shows forth the kingship of Christ over all creation and in particular over human societies." 2.Infallibility of the Catholic Church 1.CCC 2035, "The supreme degree of participation in the authority of Christ is ensured by the charism of infallibility. This infallibility extends as far as does the deposit of divine Revelation; it also extends to all those elements of doctrine, including morals, without which the saving truths of the faith cannot be preserved, explained, or observed." 3.Only the Roman Catholic Church has authority to interpret Scripture 1.CCC 100, "The task of interpreting the Word of God authentically has been entrusted solely to the Magisterium of the Church, that is, to the Pope and to the bishops in communion with him." 4.The Pope is the head of the church and has the authority of Christ 1.CCC 2034, "The Roman Pontiff and the bishops are 'authentic teachers, that is, teachers endowed with the authority of Christ, who preach the faith to the people entrusted to them, the faith to be believed and put into practice.' The ordinary and universal Magisterium of the Pope and the bishops in communion with him teach the faithful the truth to believe, the charity to practice, the beatitude to hope for." 5.The Roman Catholic Church is necessary for salvation 1.CCC 846, "How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers? Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body: Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it." 6.Sacred Tradition equal to scripture 1.CCC 82, ". . .the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence'." My opponent must confess his error is my prayer, as the proof is overwhelming that the Catholic church is nothing more than a man made false religious entity.
