A devout Catholic if stranded on a desert island with only a Bible, were to be Protestant?
I mean, there is no clergy, no one to administer the sacraments, no connection with the ecclesiastical authorities, so they essentially do not choose to live alone in the Bible?
(Please STAR this question)
One of the main tenants of the Catholic religion is that God gave to his representative on earth would the Church, which was established by St. Peter at the direction of Jesus at the time of his death.
The belief in the spiritual supremacy of the pope and the church on earth would not change because you're on an island, so you do not necessarily cease to be an American just because you stuck on an island.
The fact that a Catholic has no ability to speak with a priest or another representative of the Church, does not mean you stop to think that's what it says. He can read and study the Bible itself, to the saints to pray for salvation and forgiveness, and be Catholic.
Catholic history is full of people, most of the saints, who studied only in caves, apart from society and struggle with their own sinful nature.
I doubt it.
P.S. Do you mean with a Protestant Bible deleted some passages and faith "allein" (alone) to be added?
'The most important example of dogmatic influence in Luther's version is the famous interpolation of the word alone in Rome. 3:28 (allein durch den Glauber), which was intended to emphasize solifidian his doctrine of justification, for the reason that the German language requires the inclusion for the sake of clarity. But he put Paul in direct verbal conflict with James, who says (James 2:24), "working for a man is justified, not only by faith" ( "nicht allein durch den Glauber). It is well known that Luther deemed it impossible to harmonize the two apostles in this article, and characterized the Epistle of James as an "epistle of straw" because it had no evangelical character ( "keine Evangelische Art").
Therefore, he insisted on this insertion, despite all the outcry against it. Their defense is very characteristic. "If your papist," he says, "makes a lot of noise about the usefulness of the word alone, allein, tell him at once: Doctor Martin Luther will well, said: papist and donkey are one thing; sic volo, sic jubeo , sit pro ratione voluntas. For those who do not want to be pupils and followers of the Papists, but their captains and judges. "
1) If a devout Catholic went to a desert island with only a Bible should be a Protestant?
I doubt it.
2) That is, there is no clergy, no one to administer the sacraments, no connection with the ecclesiastical authorities, so they essentially do not choose to live alone in the Bible?
Once again: I doubt it. If I were stranded on a desert island with only "Green Eggs and Ham", who choose to live alone for that book?

There was found in the jungle in India, a hundred years ago a community of Christians who had no contact with the outside world for more than a thousand years, and possibly from the right and after ST.Thomas was martyred and then stated that they have remained there to protect the burial site ST.Thomas. Not only are still celebrating mass as ST.Thomas had taught, but were able to show his funeral place.They had been so faithful to the mass that is identical to what is taking place today. So I would say that a true Catholic will remain true to our faith as we know not only how the Bible has been developed, but the truth in the Bible that all point to the Catholic / Orthodox faith.
I suppose that there were still living by the ideals Catholics who had previously learned, but is disconnected from the Church new ads.
No, I think it could remain a Catholic, looking to know how the Church teaches the values and, assuming that things will continue past the Church.
I think not.
If this person could follow up on deep I think she would keep the Catholic tradition of Sunday worship, not the biblical Saturday (Saturday). "
I also see no reason why that is:
+ Give the unbiblical doctrine of the Trinity
+ Bring Back The Bible supports slavery as Colossians 3:22 commands, "Slaves, obey your human masters in everything"
+ Hunger to death by not eating food as the Bible restricted shellfish and other foods not kosher
Nobody lives in the Bible alone. Also believers pray, to live the Gospel, worship God, etc.
With love in Christ.
Uhm nooooo, it would still be living for Christ in the reading of Sacred Scripture. It's not like we would forget Sacred Tradition just be there. It's not as if Protestants "Sinners Prayer" is in the Bible. Heck, the Hail Mary, but not the sinner of Prayer.
We are forgiven if the sacraments are literally not available. We are forgiven, even if they are available and we do not participate.
WoW, I agree with Chris. In a person with only a Bible can not be Catholic. Of course not! Sola Scriptura discourages Catholicism (with good reason)
Catholic (if he really had gone through the teaching of Catholic religion and Catholics are not only in name), will never become a Protestant.
It has been said many times that a person who has read the Bible, never spontaneously become a Catholic, a Mormon, a JW, or member of any other group. No one ever spontaneously take any of the systems group for the simple reading of the Bible.
* LH * Catholic by Choice, which is very interesting piece on the St. Thomas Christians in the jungles of India still practice the mass.
Could you give me a reference or source that you read this?
I would be very interested in reading about.
This is a very interesting question, I do not believe in labels, we are saved by the blood of Christ, we want to be Christians, and even that's not a good appointment as we become children of God.
Catholics know God from childhood, and are living temples of the Holy Spirit by virtue of our baptism.
God personally for any deficiency that may exist.
So … with a Bible would be good, but not all … except perhaps, for Protestants.
Well to be Catholics who have been baptized Catholic. It should come as no surprise that the Catholic Church teaches that it will always be Catholic if stranded on a desert island, and that is with or without the Bible.
no, because the trinity profess to worship God and to keep the holy sacraments to those who possess it.
a Catholic is a Catholic who is excommunicated until
Interesting question. I do not know the answer myself, but I enjoyed reading the responses you received. And I admire those who are not ashamed to beg for the stars, so I gave you one.
How many accounts you have, anyway?
I mean, I was a devout Catholic at a time, then I realized that killing innocent people, and traditions are not in the Bible, and now im Protestants, so I guess so.
Are considered a member of the Catholic church in baptism, which takes place in childhood.
If I had only a Bible, without food or water, finally, and very soon be dead.
But it continued to ask Mary Catholic to pray for them, and continued to pray the rosary.
It is not a Protestant who believes in the Rapture. The Rapture appears nowhere in the Bible.
That the Bible is Catholic or Protestant Bible?
* Star * for you. He knows that the Bible is secure. It would be a lonely existence, but wow talk ever enlightened! Sure you have plenty of time.
LOL, that is funny. I am pretty sure that would be Protestants. Jehovah's Witnesses and Christians
Absolutely.
I suppose that depends on the strength and conviction of what they think. Thanks for the question and have a great day!
Well, I'm not Catholic, but if left alone on an island that would have to start to protest at some point.
Good question!
Yes
eh eh
To be an atheist …
He probably wonder why you can not find "God in three persons" in the Bible.
not reproduced and re-write the Bible
