You could go back to RC’s...
That would ignite a firestorm for some.
LOL! It’s not our problem if you can’t tell the difference between a robe and a dress.
the allusion is pretty mixed. She wears Christ, the sun, like a coat, but she gives birth to him, and the apostles perch on her head. Seems like when you explain a set of symbols, you explain it all logically, using the actual old testament references would be a good place to start the ‘plaining, Ricky.
Hmmm, I suppose that it would be an interesting exercise to check out how to fake a Catholic healing in order to make a saint out of someone because of it.
Better stick to the Catholic Caucus threads.
Doesn't matter. My Anglican Brother is still my Brother in Christ if he believes The Gospel. His error on the Lord's Supper is only that, an error.
If Jesus came to your house would you offer Him your best or tell him you're saving it for another occasion or donating it to the poor?
Silly question, He already has my complete devotion.
Is it that the discussion of why large churches get built is hitting to close to home?
To me it is like turning your back on all that God offers us, no matter how much we wrap it up in pride.
Are these huge ornate churches really being built for God? If so why do they have to be so big and fancy?
"We do not, however, hold the Bible-or any other account of human experience-to be either an infallible guide or the exclusive source of truth. Much biblical material is mythical or legendary. Not that it should be discarded for that reason! Rather, it should be treasured for what it is. We believe that we should read the Bible as we read other books (or the newspaper) - with imagination and a critical eye."or perhaps this
An example of the pent-e-costal neo-Montanism is William Branham the Father of Neo-MontanismThe Calvinists, as you say do not follow God's Word -- correct. They should instead join Christ's Church, the One Holy Apostolic Catholic Church. Gods Word is the FINAL AUTHORITY. JESUS is the HEAD OF HIS CHURCH, THE ONE HOLY APOSTOLIC CATHOLIC CHURCH. The Holy Spirit is THE TEACHER. Since we have the Truth grounded within us, we don't care how many times non-Christians like yourself point fingers at us.Even though William Branham denied the Trinity and taught it was a demonic doctrine believed only by those of the whore Babylon false church - he was still revered as a true prophet by almost every major Pentecostal and Charismatic ministry (who are Trinitarian). Even though he believed in numerology and taught that God had made the Great Pyramid - he is still accepted as a true prophet. Even though many of his prophecies regarding future events did not come to pass - he is still regarded as a true prophet. Even though the majority of his teachings are totally in error and diametrically opposed to the plain teaching of Scripture, he is still held up as God's true prophet.William Branham's heretical theology:
- God's Word consists of the zodiac, Egyptian pyramids and scripture.
- Doctrine of trinity is considered demonic
- The claim that he was Elijah the prophet
- Millennium to begin in 1977.
- That he was the seventh angelic messenger to the Laodicean Church Age (Footprints, pg. 620).(Using the dispenational theory that each of the churches in Revelations represents an age of the church, the current one being the Laodicean Church Age).
- That anyone belonging to any denomination had taken "the mark of the beast" (Footprints, pp. 627, 629, 643, 648).
- That he received divinely inspired revelations (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, Branham; Spoken Word Publications, Tucson, Ariz., n.d.; pg.19; Questions and Answers, Book 1, Branham; Spoken Word Publications, Tucson, 1964; pg. 60.)
- The fall of man happened when Eve had sexual relations with Satan, that his sexual union produced Cain.(Branham said that "every sin that ever was on the Earth was caused by a woman....the very lowest creature on the Earth" The Spoken Word, Vol. III Nos. 12, 13, 14;, Branham; Spoken Word Publications, Jeffersonville, Ind. 1976; pp. 81-82. Quoted in The Man and His Message, pg. 41).
- Branham denied the biblical triune Godhead. He pronounced it a "gross error" (The Spoken Word, pg. 79) and as a prophet with the authority of a "Thus saith the Lord," revealed that "trinitarianism is of the devil" (Footprints, pg. 606).
- Unsaved descended from the serpent.
Cool, so you then say that Unitarians are Protestants?
what are you going on about? there are charismatic Catholic groups doing the same thing, even tho you want to pretend you only have one sect, whereas in truth, you have thousands, each doing their own thing.. And how about exorcisms? Talk about creepy and drama
Actually, it is — look up the history of the Protestant reformation and you will see the splits from Lutheranism to Calvinism and Zwinglism to the Radical Reformers to Unitarianism and from thence the short steps to paganism
Yep, I think I owe you donuts.
It isn’t worth the time, Pyro.
After all, —mountains-—molehills
and it’s time to know which hill to climb and this isn’t it
God bless.
So you deny that Christ's followers were given authority over the demons?
Original post: To: Cronos; metmom; wmfights; Dr. Eckleburg; RnMomof7; OLD REGGIE
Oh, and turning the question to the other adherents to sola scriptura would you, MetMom, Wmfights, Dr. Eck, accept Unitarians as your sola-scriptura Protestant brethern? Especially considering that they deny the Trinity? Typical tactics, but I'll respond.
I will accept as my Brother any one who believes The Gospel. If their theology denies the deity of Jesus Christ I will seek to convert them. If their theology holds that there are several paths to salvation I will try to convert them. In the course of conversations on these threads if a Jewish poster offered insights I agreed with, or a Noahicide, I may align with them during that conversation that doesn't mean we are in lock step on all things.
At first blush one would think RC's would be my brethren, but when you discover the RCC rejects The Gospel by adding "maybe", "and",or "but" to it a huge gulf opens between us. So the question I throw back is what's worse the person who aligns with a group of Evangelicals but makes it clear they have some different beliefs, or the one who claims to be the same but isn't?

I make mistakes, but I think what I said is clear.
Acts 17:24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, 25nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.
