I’m sure they will all be impressed with your rituals and keeping of the law.
.
You’re just blowing in the breeze aren’t you!
It is not “ritual,” it is obedience to his instructions.
It is remembering “what we have received,” “the first things,” as he asked of the seven congregations.
If we do not watch, he will come to us as a thief. (Rev3:3)
.
Nah, He won’t come like a thief. You guys have it figured to the day.
Arthur ..Catholics need to learn to read the scriptures..
The salvation judgement had already been made.. that is why they were ALREADY Sheep and goats.. and notice that the sheep did not do good works to merit their salvation or to add to it ..they did not even realize they were doing "good works"
Mat25:37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
Nobody has it figured until Antichrist stands on the mercy seat at Purim.
Then, anyone that has carefully read Daniel knows it is 1335 days to his coming at the moment the new moon breaks out of the shadow at Yom Teruah.
That has been the “day that no man knoweth” since Moses stood on Mt Sinai.

>> “The apostles were the earliest bishops who taught both, faith AND works.” <<
.
Not exactly...
They taught that if one has faith, the works will follow.
Yeshua has written the desire to obey on their hearts.
.
The Key is found in reference to “Himself.” Do we mean by faith,’a kind of private revelation by God to the individual, or by his appreciation of what has been taught him, so they he truly hears the truth of it for the first time?

Yeah..right..2 centuries before Christ??? because that's when Catholicism began
Irenaeus also taught that the succession of bishops dated back to the Apostles and was among the first to develop a Mariology within the Catholic Church.He lived from about 125 to 200 and was an early Catholic Father of the church who wrote against heresies such as gnosticism...O.K., he is a good guy and your point is???????????
sorry your name didn’t get pinged properly...
I think that's funny. How could people who fed the hungry, clothed the naked, etc., not know they were doing good works. They would have to be unbelievably stupid.
From the text, it appears that the good-deed-doers DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE DOING IT FOR JESUS. I.e., THEY NEVER MADE ANY SORT OF ACT OF FAITH IN JESUS.
Where in the gospel is your claim that the sheep and the goats were separated on the basis of sola fide verified?
I see that my old HS principal made the list.
Indeed. Ezekiel 36 comes to mind.
Of course they do! It's because the truth never changes. The very same gospel that saved the very first believers is still the same one that saves us today. By grace are we saved through faith and that not of ourselves. It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.

You confuse what Irenaeus taught!
His “succession of bishops” was based solely on their adherence to “The Teaching,” “The Way.”
He had nothing whatsoever to do with the abomination that is known as the catholic church.
He taught no “Mariology.”
The heresies he wrote against included everything that made up the abomination known as the catholic church.
Please stop dishonoring his memory, and his history.

.
Catholicism began when Constantine committed to the goal of massacring every person in his empire that lived by Yehova’s Torah (”The Teaching”) and kept his feasts.
That meant every follower of Yeshua, and every Jew.
That remains what it is today.
