Catholic Church is none of your business, just as the 7-th Day Adventist theology is none of mine, but like the theology of Jim Jones and others I mentioned is closer to yours, and you and your brethren ought to debate it, and all those other 35,000 sectrs, in my opinion. It is all internal matter of you opponents of Rome, and your arguments with those Harold Campings, Actually you reject my points and again resort to arguments by assertion in atteting to deal with them. But even with your broadbrush, it remains the men like Jim Jone and Harold Camping acted like popes, as if they were infallible, and like Rome in history, excluded those who examined their claims and rejected them.
In contrast, while rightly seeing claims of assured infallibility, as per Rome, as being unScriptural, Westminster upholds that,
It belongs to synods and councils, ministerially to determine controversies of faith, and cases of conscience; to set down rules and directions for the better ordering of the public worship of God, and government of his Church; to receive complaints in cases of maladministration, and authoritatively to determine the same; which decrees and determinations, if consonant to the Word of God, are to be received with reverence and submission; not only for their agreement with the Word, but also for the power whereby they are made, as being an ordinance of God appointed thereunto in His Word. — http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/creeds/wcf.htm
But the pope reigns above deposition by such, and as an individual claims assured if conditional infallibility.
The Catholic Church, which I don’t promote, despite your insinuation, doesn’t need me, and doesn’t need you.
I see, and sorry to assume, but as you example in broadbrushing based upon a non-distinctive commonality, it easy to assume that your were defending those who promote Rome .
Finally, about the Communists, who for a century and a half have defined themselves by those they hated,
"Defined themselves by those they hated?" Ever read Trent with its almost 140 anathemas? It fits your description quite well.
the church (small ‘c’) of capitalism and imperialism, using as their bible Marx’s Das Capital as the holy scripture, with its historical myths, and yes, its prophesies of imminent doomsday and judgment day.
So you are an anti-capitalist atheist/agnostic or similar non-Christian? Meanwhile, it is Roman Catholicism that is supremely guilty of imperialism, and sanctions teaching that many historical accounts are myths, but which they are not, nor will its prophesies of doomsday and judgment day fail.
conditional infallibility... non-distinctive commonalityPost-modern much?
.
You're good, you're very good, by why are you so interested in knowing who I am (which by the way you fail at doing)?
Because that's a common method here of attacking opponents.
Again, mosquitoes biting at a giant, frustrated at not drawing any blood, and that's because the giant is made out of stone that has lasted centuries, and will last centuries.
People who buy their tea from a hole in the wall in the financial district that has a window through which one can place an order standing on the sidewalk, then rushing on with their styrofoam tea bag tea in their hand, diss the Japanese tea ceremony for not being pure and straight to the point, for being worshipful of things that have nothing to do with tea. But the tea ceremonies go on, and the critics show themselves to be small, very small.
The Communist holy scripture. Stay pure, comrades.
