Am I the only one who sees the similarities between islam and roman catholicism especially when it comes to their debate tactics? What I mean is both of them use this “shifting the goal post” tactic. Muslims love to use this argument that the torah and the bible affirms the Quran yet when you point out inconsistencies in that argument they argue that the Bible is corrupted. It’s not corrupted when it benefits them yet it is when it contradicts Islam.

With Roman Catholicism, it’s the same and they use the same tactic. Whenever you debate them they will try to use the Bible and anytime the Bible contradicts their beliefs they use “tradition” or some vague person or council from hundreds of years ago. It’s fine to use the Bible for them and anytime something contradicts their beliefs like Marian doctrines, intercession of the saints, etc. they try to use the bible for these beliefs and anytime you call it out they switch to some “traditions”.

Am I the only one noticing this? It is extremely frustrating when they always shift the goalpost and deflect.

I am a Protestant but come from a family of Roman Catholics. I love my aunt but sometimes I love to mess with her and get her to say some catholic talking point, where i then proceed to troll. Recently, she said something and i started going off on how the Eastern Orthodox church is the true church and how Rome was excommunicated and how Rome had the filioque and wanted to add to the creed and how the council was rejected by the eastern orthodox church (basically the schism).

It was hilarious using her own arguments against her like “the church fathers all agreed on this for 1000 years and now rome wanted to change it with the filoque?” Or “the church DID start from Peter, the eastern orthodox church”. Just wanted to share with everyone

One of the gifts that God has giving me, is a gift for creativity. Every once in awhile, He will encourage me to write new verses to a classic song. I do not know if everyone here is familiar with the children's song 'Heaven Is a Wonderful Place', but God gave me the desire and words to write four additional verses to it.

Heaven is a Wonderful Place
Filled with glory and grace
I wanna see my Saviour's face
Cause Heaven is a wonderful place.

Jesus is my Saviour I know
Anywhere with Him I'll go
His love in me just overflows
Cause Jesus is my Saviour I know

Jesus came and died for my sins
And He's coming again
I know that I am forgiven
Cause Jesus came and died for my sins

The Bible is the word of God
His words are never flawed
It saids in Heaven we will trod
And the Bible is the word of God

All my praise to Jesus I bring
He gives me joy to sing
Someday the bells of Heaven will ring
When all my praise to Jesus I'll bring

What do you guys think? :) I made this just for fun. Feel free to use it!
