Which is why Christ said "Ye must be born again", or "You must have a change of heart." When Jane Fonda says "I'm a Christian, but not a "born-again" Christian", she may as well say, "I'm a Christian, but not a Christian."

I will respond to your four posts here.

I agree with all of the things you said.

However, none of them address the question I asked, and that is "What written command of the OT gives the Apostles the power to do away with circumcision"? I am Catholic, of course I agree that Christ brought about a new Covenant, gave the Apostles the power to bind and loosen, etc...

But if the first Christians believed in SOLA SCRIPTURA, then the actions of the Apostles in Acts 15 clearly goes against this "man-made rule". There is nothing in the Old Testament that gives men the power to overrule God's "everlasting" Covenant. Yet, men in 47 AD got together and did precisely that...

I know WHY! But tell me about how Sola Scriptura fits in there.

Please address the question, if you can.

Regards
