ahh more gnoscism; read learn know KNOWLEDGE and you're saved.
gnostism at its finist.
protestants hate scripture.
= = = =
I guess that would explain why I kept held it close in my bed as a teddy bear in Jr High, High School and even some in college.
Perfectly clear.
Perfectly off the wall.
This is where St. John is now: the Kingdom of Heaven, praying for you.
hey even the devil quotes scriptures and knows them well... he probably has em near his bedside too.
Well I'm sure the dead saints weren't offended.
they were VENERATING them
= = =
Hogwash. They didn't do either though it's mere hair splitting to distinguish between veneration and worship anyway.
The oxen were merely God's ordered supports for the Old Testament Baptismal font. He tends to be precise when He wants to. The Jews were smart enough to know better than to think of the oxen as anything special, spiritually.
My gnostic knowledge of the 12 oxen comes from a study of the Hebrew scriptures, in Hebrew. Where does your "veneration" of them originate?
really are they in hebrew script?
lighting incense to statues of angels ain't venerating all of the sudden?
I will likely respond to your posts. I'll TRY to remember to backspace your screenname out of the addy window and insert someone elses. But I won't guarantee 100% compliance. I'm . . . still human . . . . maybe you noticed.
?
Are you starting a MORE fun one to substitute?
What about it? What I am trying to say, I am not here to help various Protestant groups sort out their differences. They all have some problem with the Catholic Church and with our dear sister Orthodox Church, so I defend them both. That is what I am sacramentally confirmed to do. Now, that entire miscellany of protestantism has two root heresies, sola scriptura and sola fide, and a few satellite ones. I concentrate on these.
Luke 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
-----------------------
NOTE: the Spirit of Jesus was wise beyond words.. Semantics and Parseing Peace into Division and Parsing Division into Peace is wall against truth.. Because, There is a time to Divide and time for Peace.. The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth.. which includes BOTH..
I did.
Since when pointing out a heresy is offensive language?
is father not a term for parent? is it not a term Christ uesed for Joeseph even knowing Joeseph was not his biological father?
= = = =
SCRIPTURE: CHRIST HIMSELF: CALL NO MAN FATHER . . .
Magesterical and kawaii:
is father not a term for parent? is it not a term Christ uesed for Joeseph even knowing Joeseph was not his biological father?
= = = =
But the Protesties are the twisters in the wind???
Dear lurkers, please avoid being confused . . . consult Scripture and Holy Spirit and clarity will come.
Adieu
Personally i think they have a deep problem with Christianity and that it's because they are inspired by Satan and that's why they've separated Christianity into more than 20,000 confessions in the span of a few hundered years. I think their root heresy is selfishness and self centeredness over the word of God.
