![]() To anticipate their questions, I offer the following answer for those who are not aware of the degree to which the synoptic problem is only the tip of the iceberg for much of the Church’s problems with liberal theology. However, I wonder how many readers understood why such a topic, usually reserved for biblical journals, should appear in the pages of This Rock? Your article “Problems With the Synoptic Problem” was excellent. Apologetics is so much needed in our Catholic Church today, and your efforts will reinvigorate Catholic schools and seminaries to start teaching this subject once again. God’s peace and joy be yours in Christ Jesus! As a seminarian, then a deacon, and now a priest for the Diocese of Peoria, I have enjoyed your work and the publication This Rock. If you could send us these booklets as soon as possible, we would be grateful. We want to stop this trend.Ĭould you please send us whatever literature you can which will help us to stop this sheep-stealing? While we are not in a financial position to reprint books, we would be glad if you will send us booklets which will help our Catholics to understand our faith more thoroughly. Here in Bombay, as well as other parts of India, the so-called Evangelistic sects are sheep-stealing and pulling people away from their Catholic faith. Though our main concern is the pro-life issue, all the members of our Trust are Roman Catholics. ![]() So if we pray the way Jesus taught us, we are not praying “in the name of Jesus” (according to Oneness Pentecostals’ own reasoning).Įither Jesus was in error (as were the early Church and all Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants throughout history), or Oneness Pentecostals are. But why don’t Oneness Pentecostals simply compare John 16:23-24 with Matthew 6:9 and Luke 11:12? There Jesus instructs us to pray “in my name” (John 16:23-24), yet the actual words he teaches to say are “Our Father. And we know that early extra-biblical Christian writings such as the Didache contradict the Oneness Pentecostals’ insistence on the “Jesus-only” baptismal formula. Well, your “Fathers Know Best” section clearly pointed out the early Church’s belief in the Trinity. ![]() ![]() They say that “Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are simply titles, not names (or `the name’) of God.” They quote Acts 2:38 and 10:48 as their “proofs” that we can baptize only “in the name of Jesus.” ![]()
