These “requirements,” of course, in you view, aren’t REALLY the following:
Joh 6:28-29 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? (29) Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
Mar 12:30-31 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. (31) And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Gal_5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Jas_2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
Because the actual charge is, “you do not do what is required... which is being in the Roman Catholic Church and obeying it.” If you were truly a great moralizer, calling people to the requirements of religion, there would be no conlict here with he Romans being so outraged. You would instead ask us to have faith in God, and “love your neighbour as yourself,” for in these things one fulfills the royal law, according to Christ and all of the Apostles. No mention here of bowing and scraping for the scraps offered by the Roman pontiff. And, certainly not any indication that one’s imperfections or perfections have in any effect on salvation.
I am not outraged. I am amused at yet another would-be Martin Luther inventing yet again another religion of the one in the mirror. You may wish to read up on the mathematical operand "and". It is of great significance here.
Do this in remembrance of me, not “resacrifice me and eat this bread so that you may be saved.” In fact, do you have any evidence that the Lord’s supper, from the scipture, isn’t always an actual supper of believers? Such is the way I’ve practiced it.
Irenaeus speaks at length about it; we have other writings from the second and third centuries. I don't really care how you practice it - I only care how Christians are supposed to practice it.
You say I only bring snippets out of context, but never so much as provide any data that actually shows why those quotes, and lots of them, are false. Thou Pharisee, are you not just too lazy to explain what those scriptures mean and how you reconcile them with you Romanist views, because the fact of the matter is you are more concerned with what is handed down to you from Rome than what is handed us by the Apostles?
Are you calling me names? Are you reading my mind? No, I assumed (silly me) that you would know Scripture well enough to understand my posts and the passages to which I have alluded. Very well, in the spirit of the unlettered and the grasping at straws, I will post chapter and verse. I had hoped that whoever you are, you were more familiar with Scripture. I am disappointed.
They are the scripture. Not once have you addressed any of the words of Paul or Jesus, which I have provided. Do you really seriously think that by saying something like “Look at the feg tree! I’m CATHLUCK, tarefore, it disproofs u!@#$” is an argument? How about you show us how the fig tree isn’t a metaphore for Israel, how the gentiles are not grafted in, and how people aren’t really saved by grace through faith, or how any of the scriptures I have provided don’t mean what they directly say, based on the context you affirm clearly disproves it?
I referred to Jesus and Paul and you claimed that I did not post from Scripture. Interesting. If Jesus and Paul are not considered Scripture in your world, then what is?
“I am not outraged.”
Neither am I, since you took the time to insult me instead of addressing what I said. Saves me time.
“I referred to Jesus and Paul and you claimed that I did not post from Scripture. Interesting. If Jesus and Paul are not considered Scripture in your world, then what is?”
Your arguments at this point are depending on strawmen, insults, accusations, diversions, outright ignoring statements and documentation, and unproved assertions. Looks like you’re ready to throw in the towel soon.
So, which Pope are you in communion with? The one in Rome, Antioch, or Alexandria?
