—— There should be at least ONE parable comparing all three...holy spirit, Son, and Father as being equal as you claim...certainly at least one! Correct? -——
Jesus told us where to go for answers to questions such as this:
“If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won’t accept the church’s decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.”
Elsewhere, St. Paul refers to the Church as “the pillar and foundation of truth.”
Jesus didn’t speak in philosophical or theological language. We can only guess as to why. His lessons were usually given in parables; stories that are accessible to all people; stories that can be passed down orally.
Nevertheless, the Church teaches dogmatically in precise philosophical and theological language.
Luther’s doctrine of “the Bible ALONE” makes the Bible a dead letter.
Catholics rely on the authoritative teaching of the Church, “the pillar and foundation of truth,” to interpret the Bible —the Bible that the Church gave birth to and preserved.
“Elsewhere, St. Paul refers to the Church as “the pillar and foundation of truth.”
Not today’s church that is embroiled into the apostasy! And I am sorry, but telling me that Jesus did not speak in doctrinal language just does not cut it! If this was such a critical issue for salvation, he CERTAINLY would have addressed it at least in a parable form, which is what he did about forgiveness and other critical topics that are needed for our salvation. I have proven my point within the bible. Will anyone here be humble enough to admit or see this?
