Probably not.. HIJACKING the ministry of the Holy Spirit by rote worship of clergy, Will however.. The clergical spirit is Satanic.. it murdered the Lord of Mercy..
Are you possibly saying that if the Catholic Church was satanic, that it could kill the Holy Spirit?
I think that I’ll step back here and let the Holy Spirit have a crack at you without me in the way.
Not true.. Koine greek and patois of it was..
It's a good analogy, except that you hold that once you are pardoned you are also reformed and can never end up in jail again!
Not only that, the Reformed theology maintains that we were sentenced and parodned before we even existed! And that some can keeeon sinning and will never be sentenced again.
While others are just "out of luck," created for refuse, and destined to sit in jail for all eternity—that too by the "grace" of the Judge.
The only thing that is worse than an imitation is a bad imitation.
During the Dark Ages?
Not by my understanding. Do you have different understanding?
This ugly childish troublemaking behavior will stop here and now and there will be suspensions or worse.
***Not only that, the Reformed theology maintains that we were sentenced and parodned before we even existed!***
Yes, that is what we believe, based on scripture. God is in control of everyhing. He is the Potter, we are the clay. Some he made for noble purposes, others he made to be thrown away.
Oh come on.
Don’t you mean that those theological itinerants sitting by the side of the highway begging for alms and getting ritually kicked in the face are really God’s itinerants?
I think that we both know how homicidal and sadistic was the individual who proposed that theological point. I really don’t get why the average person would find it attractive unles he was as sadistic as was the proposer.
NO,,, The Holy Spirit is a Spirit.. flesh cannot touch it/him..
You are not in the way, you are not in control..
The Roman Catholic Church is fleshly, earthy, mostly dirty, temporal..
As are most protestant churches.. its all in Revelation..
The Holy Spirit is directing everything. Do you really believe that the church is infallible?
I don’t understand.
I am not follwing you mark?..
True..
You are re-wiritng the history. but then Protestants make up their theology; why not history as well? It's pathetic.
It affirmed what the churches had been using all along and it wasn’t “The Church
You are wrong. St. Ignatius wrote as early as 105 AD that there is only one, Catholic Church, not many 'churches.' St. Justin martyr certainly did not speak of "churches" and neither did St. Irenaeus, or St. Clement of Alexandria, and so on. The canon as we know today was first proposed by St. Athanasius in the middle of the 4th century. It was accepted by the Church as a whole, as a standard, 30years later. That means that before 360 AD there was NO standard Christian Canon as we know it today and that many books we consider inspired today were either not listed or recognized as inspired by many churches prior to that.
Those are facts. Then there is Protestant fantasy.
Too difficult to understand, eh?
There is only one church? Which one, the Eastern Orthodox, the Roman Catholic, or what?
