“God’s word according to you. It doesn’t say what Zwingli taught.”
Sorry. I read Greek from my years in seminary. It says exactly what God inspired. He inspired those words in Greek. You can claim it says something else that you pre-decided as a Roman, but you have to add words to do so. You also have to take it from its context.
Now, it simply does not matter to me what you choose to believe about this passage.
It only matters to me that I choose to take God at His Word here. I’ve studied the passage including in the original languages. I believe what it actually says and not what someone else wants to make it say. That is how it should be since we are exhorted to be firmly convinced in our own mind. This is part of “loving God with ALL our mind.”
Given that Romans have held these beliefs since a couple hundred years after Christ, I have no illusion that you and I will resolve the difference. That’s OK. It isn’t up to me. We are only having this discussion because you want me to believe the extra things you believe... but it doesn’t work that way.
No, since the beginning - as scripture and history plainly prove. You have nothing contrary until the sixteenth century.
…it only matters to me that I …I’ve … I believe
Some are their own church with their own creed and dogma.
Pax tecum.
I should add… not just Romans. Christians everywhere: Asia Minor, Jerusalem, Greece, France, Spain, Germany, Egypt, Africa… Everywhere.
