There hasn't been any revealed word of God outside of scripture that has shown up in the last 2000 years so why worry about it???
I thought I said exactly that.
Oh, I see. You thought I was serious when I asked you to show me Scripture. Because I already KNEW it wasn’t there. Because I read and believe God’s word. Not some group of fallible men who sit around and declare themselves infallible and teach for truth the doctrines of men. But as it turns out, no one bothers to question their doctrines or traditions because they get a wafer and a sip of wine and are declared forgiven. For this week. It’s a great system, if you can gather together enough pawns to defend it.
It’s so sad to watch the RCC people view Christ as some distant entity hoping that praying to Mary thinking she has more influence is somehow effective. If they only realized that the “queen of heaven” was a pagan practice long before the RCC and certainly not something Jesus taught.
There is no bread after the consecration,it's Christ.
Your food disorder and illness will be healed if you convert back to Catholicism/Orthodoxy and return to your faith of Baptism
Why would you attribute this to Calvin? A guy named Terry Pratchett said it and he was NOT quoting Calvin either. However, if you said this was a slogan of the Jesuits, then that would probably be closer to the truth.
Amen!.......from 'top' to bottom the veil was torn...no human hands could accomplish that.....an amazing confirmation that the access to God was open to any who come thru His Son.....astounding victory!
No longer necessary for any Priest to intercede....IT IS FINISHED....the battle is over....Jesus is Lord and our Great High Priest!
I think that you did not “show”, or “demonstrate” so much as articulate and argue.and few things are less persuasive than arguing against a position the other side does not hold. The very language ...! I am a Catholic because I put my faith in Jesus. It is only in a derivative and subordinate way that I can be said (as far as I can tell) to put my faith in the Catholic Church.
Consequently I find a lot of your contentions don't seem really to have to do with what I believe or how I came to believe it.
Sadder still is to see RCCs begging Christ for mercy. Keeping Him on the Cross as the perpetual victim, and believing that to suffer with Christ is following Him. The mercy was given when His work on our behalf was finished and God raised Him from the dead for our justification. The empty tomb is proof that He is no perpetual victim, but our victorious Savior. We may suffer persecution for His name’s sake, but dragging a wooden cross through the streets is just not the kind of suffering He described.
That is a little lie told by the failed priests of the Reformation who would have you believe that because the Bible was not a complete TOE (for all of you draft dodging libtards that's Army talk for Table of Organization and Equipment) the means determined to satisfy the requirements for bishops, priests and deacons.
Bad guess. I've stated more than a few times that I am not a Calvinist. Yeah, I know you can't keep all us heretics straight...yada, yada, yada...
The RCC has taught you well in double speak.
God tore the cutain down and they just keep trying to put it back up......endlessly....sad really...they just can’t see the truth. The the Priesthood of men abolished and no more.
All that God wanted to reveal to man, from the beginning, the middle, to the end was revealed. God did not write a sequel. All He wants us to know, He has already told us. And it’s a good thing. Even this amount of information cannot be understood, believed or trusted by so many. There aren’t enough sequels in the world to satisfy a spiritually blind man.
I've had this since birth. Catholicism never kept me from it. How would it heal me from it?
It's simply evidence that you were snippet mining on the internet again. You cite a single out of context sentence from a 456 page book you have obviously never read dealing with the concept of In Personna Christi. Would you care to comment on the context or on anything else in the book such as the following quote;"Every temple (house of God) has a priest, an altar, and a tabernacle. These elements are also present in the Christian who is in a state of grace."
But I'll bet you can quote extensively from the Book of Moroni.
Jesus died ONCE for all.
What about *It is finished* is so hard to understand?
Christ filled the righteous requirements of the Law which is why death could not hold Him. When we are forgiven by Him and found in Him, the fulfillment of those righteous requirements of the Law are credited to us.
*Forgiven* is past tense.
Philippians 3:9 ... and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— ....
The righteousness we have is righteousness given to us because we exercised faith and honored God by taking Him at his word, not a righteousness that we think we earned by any number of works.
INDEED! LOL.
The Double Standard strikes again.
Don't flatter yourself.
