I think "JC" is probably the term the preacher in the white and lavender suit holding the rattlesnakes uses.
My point is that the Apostles did not have control over who received the Holy Spirit. Neither does Rome.
I don't understand this question.
What standard do we use to say "Jesus was Jesus"? How does anyone know that He was Jesus? What did the One Holy Apostolic Church of the day want to do to Jesus?
How did anyone know that John the Baptist was inspired? How about Elijah, Isaiah, or Daniel? None of these men were Levites, were they? Were these men proven to be men of God by a church, or did was their divinely inspired nature on display for all to plainly see by their actions and words? If a prophet were to arise today, how would someone know him to be a true or a false prophet?
Whose interpretation? That's the question Protestants conveniently sweep under the rug.
I don't take the Protestant label, but I know that scripture is plain on the big issues. I approach the Bible much the way I approach Judicial activism. If you are talking about penumbras and emanations, you are wrong. If the scriptures were so hierarchal, why did Paul tell his converts this:
Phi 2:12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling;
Right...yeah...right, Cough! Cough! See your post #319 where you said Catholics were of the devil!
I was referring to your post in which you said that the devil etc in relation to Martin Luther. Understand it now?
JC could very well refer to Jack Chick.
I said anyone but Catholics, get it?
Did he have 12 back up singers?
You know very well who it is.
ROFLOL! I can picture that!
Yeah, I know who Jack Chick is, he writes comic books.
In context to this thread?
At the Evangelical Church of the Coming Rapture!
Which post? Where's the quote?
You made a very specific charge, and now you've said you were speaking of me. I hope you can back it up.
In context of this thread, Jack Chick could very well be your source.
I said no such thing.
THIS IS A NO SPIN ZONE!
Here's your post:

Really. I'm not here on the thread calling anyone but Catholics are of the devil. 319 posted on 10/22/2006 6:25:31 PM EDT by marajade (Yes, I'm a SW freak!) [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 316 | View Replies | Report Abuse ]
Directly in context to this thread. Some of the posters on this thread may well have been quoting directly from JC (uh, that's Jack Chick, not Johnny Cash or Jesus Christ).
Read the thread.
Yeah, that's the ticket!
So you ARE a LIAR, aren't you?
You make a charge about me, but won't substantiate it because it cannot be substantiated: it is a lie.
