Where do you think the Queen of Heaven stuff came from, huh?
John 6:63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to youthey are full of the Spirite and life.
Yet Catholics insist it's the flesh. That's mental gymnastics all right.
>>2 Peter 1:20 and 2 Peter 3:16 condemns private interpretation<<
2 Corinthians 1:13 For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand until the end;
>>The Jewish people have always taught through word of mouth (tradition) AND the written word. The early Christians did not suddenly change this concept, especially since the bible wasn'tt written right away.<<
Now, prove that what the Catholic Church teaches that it calls "tradition" that is not found in scripture is the same thing the apostles taught that they called "tradition". After all, Paul said if something is taught that they didn't teach that teacher is considered accursed by God.
Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
If the Catholic Church teaches something the apostles didn't teach we are to consider them accursed.
If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...it might just be old fashion goddess worship (despite the dodgy responses and slippery logic of those who participate in such).
So in the Catholic world it is she who grants that ey? The goddess of Catholicism grant you nothing.
Thank you for proving me correct and yourself completely in error. I will continue to pray that you see the truth.
Again, do you pray to a dead human or the Coredemptrix, Mediatrix of All Graces, Mother of Salvation, Queen of Heaven?
It's a simple question. Are you praying to a goddess or to a dead human?
1 Corinthians 2:12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.
Trying to take credit away from God is not going to turn out well for Catholics.
1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit--just as it has taught you, remain in him.
Evidently Catholics disagree with the Holy Spirit.
Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Could you show where the assumption of Mary is taught by the apostles in scripture?
2 Maccabbees 12:43, "And making a gathering, he sent twelve thousand drachms of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead, thinking well and religiously concerning the resurrection."
The Holy Spirit says this.
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Quoting from books that disagree with the Holy Spirit is deadly.
I am sorry and apologize for breaking my own rule about giving prots a springboard for rants, tantrums, hissy fits, and generally ignorant comments.
LOL...what a cop-out.
Again, simply question...who do you pray to? A dead human or the Coredemptrix, Mediatrix of All Graces, Mother of Salvation, Queen of Heaven?
Apology accepted!;-)
I can understand why you think they are ignorant. I post scripture and you see ignorance.
2 Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Ouch! You can’t make it any clearer than that.
Let's get back to the question I asked.
In God's perspective, how long is a day?
If one doesn't want want the religion one inherited from the Jews, one can return it for a full refund.
The Holy Spirit says this. 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
No, that is what the scripture says. If you endeavor to quote the Holy Spirit, you should do so correctly. And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
Quoting from books that disagree with the Holy Spirit is deadly.
Do you have a specific commandment from Messiah or an Apostle that "quoting from books" that you think disagree with the Holy Spirit "is deadly?" Do you think you risk your life by just quoting 2 Maccabees here on the thread ? Do you risk your life if you quote a Gentile philosopher, a Jewish rabbinical source, the US Constitution, or ... any other book that is not on your approved list ? I assume you'll tolerate the Apostle to the Gentiles quoting Epimenides when he wrote a poem to a Greek diety:
One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
They fashioned a tomb for you, holy and high one, Cretans, always liars, evil beasts, idle bellies. But you are not dead: you live and abide forever, For in you we live and move and have our being.
I already DID answer that question. What, you ignored it?
And not one of the offerings designated by God were to be offered for dead people.
>>No, that is what the scripture says. If you endeavor to quote the Holy Spirit, you should do so correctly.<<
So you don't believe that all of scripture is inspired by the Holy Spirit?
>>Do you have a specific commandment from Messiah or an Apostle that "quoting from books" that you think disagree with the Holy Spirit "is deadly?"<<
If it wasn't taught by the apostles? Yes.
Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
>>I assume you'll tolerate the Apostle to the Gentiles quoting Epimenides when he wrote a poem to a Greek diety:<<
Nice try at obfuscation but it doesn't work. You were not quoting Maccabees to condemn the teaching contained or those who believe it.
