In Christ Alone lyrics

Songwriters: Getty, Julian Keith; Townend, Stuart Richard;

In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song This Cornerstone, this solid ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My Comforter, my All in All Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless Babe This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save

?Til on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on Him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious Day Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory Sin?s curse has lost its grip on me For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ

Why is it an issue when someone else hands it back?

Do you always spend so much time in things you don't believe? .........Yes, as a matter of fact I do.

Always seeking, never finding.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Will you be spending time on santa's knee this year? ...Not interested.

According to your post, since your interest lie in what you don't believe - that would mean you believe in SANTA. How cute.

Ahaz would believe God.

Who is this 'God' you are posting about?

“Planted”?

You are right. I really did assume too much of you. I will remember it in future.

The nut is the one who doesn't want to know, not the one who knows.

No, the nut is the one who claims he knows the truth but can't prove a thing, especially is he suggest one knows (the truth) simply because he wants to know.

The nut is the one responsible for finding out for itself what others have proof of

In their empty pockets, with nothing to show for?

Some nuts don't want to grow up and take responsibility for it's own destiny. Some nuts like to stay in their own poop

Speaking form personal experience?

But you do pretend that you want to know it.

You just said the nut is the one who doesn't want to know. Make up your mind, you are tripping all over yourself.

The job of the Holy Spirit is to indwell BELIEVERS to guide them, not an organization. (John 14:15-26)

Exactly!

SFA; I think you owe metmom a thank you for leading you to Scripture for you to unlearn this fallacy... The Holy Spirit guided the Church. Sidenote: The Holy Spirit has nothing to do with man made doctrine.

Who's departed from the foundational faith of Christ alone?

Once you say Christ alone and than go off and reject what He clearly taught regarding Sacraments(that has 2000 plus years of consistent teaching from Church fathers as well) etc..You become me alone conforming what I believe over what Christ taught.

The Orthodox don't believe in transubstantiation and don't recognize the papacy.

The Orthodox believe exactly as Latins do in that Eucharist is really Christ present ,Body,Blood Soul and Divinity -they just regard this a mystery that did not need an explanation of transubstantiation. They do not reject our Pope either they view Him as head of Bishops

For that matter, the issue of salvation outside the Catholic church is taught both for and against in different places in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

For good reason, because we believe that all love comes from Christ and The Holy Spirit blows where He Wills,thus a person who loves can be saved. If someone does not reject Christ and has Never heard of Him, but loves others unconditionally they can be saved

Do you have a life outside of FR? Spending a lot of time here results in puffing self up.

Pride puffs up but love builds up,dear sister

Describing yourself? I find things all the time.

So, you know psychiatry too? Funny it doesn't show.

Doesn't sound like logic is near and dear to you either. Did you skip school a lot?

Whether Luke was present or not I don’t how one would determine but if Matthias was NOT to be counted among the 12 then who would be? No other person is appointed by Christ to be so numbered and even Paul did not count himself among the 12.

“I rather think the number “12” is important and was reserved to Jesus alone”.

I agree and therefore must ask, ‘If not Matthias, then who did Christ choose to fill out the number 12?’ And if he did, when and how?

I have no idea. :-)

The way I see it is that Luke just recorded what happened when Peter took matters into his own hands.

That wouldn't be the first time Peter left the reservation.

I don’t know that Luke voiced his approval or disapproval, or his opinion on apostolic succession at all.

I dunno either.

Why are you speaking about God when you don’t know Him or if He exists. That’s speaking about the unknown. Are you into fantasies? Do you speak about Alice in Wonderland much? It’s already established you believe in Santa.

Not sure - all that has been established is he posts alot about God that he doesn’t know or exists. Maybe that’s the name of his imaginary friend - that doesn’t exist either? Unless he has proof Ahaz exists, then I stand corrected.

You should listen to The Holy Spirit than because He would be leading you back to His Church-The Catholic Church

Catechism

"Christ is the Head of this Body"

792 Christ "is the head of the body, the Church."225 He is the principle of creation and redemption. Raised to the Father's glory, "in everything he [is] preeminent,"226 especially in the Church, through whom he extends his reign over all things.

793 Christ unites us with his Passover: all his members must strive to resemble him, "until Christ be formed" in them.227 "For this reason we . . . are taken up into the mysteries of his life, . . . associated with his sufferings as the body with its head, suffering with him, that with him we may be glorified."228

794 Christ provides for our growth: to make us grow toward him, our head,229 he provides in his Body, the Church, the gifts and assistance by which we help one another along the way of salvation.

795 Christ and his Church thus together make up the "whole Christ" (Christus totus). The Church is one with Christ. The saints are acutely aware of this unity:

We don't believe in the term "sola scriptura" i.e. ALONE. hence your argument about why we follow terms that aren't there is nonsensical -- YOU believe in sola scriptura, i.e. every term should be in the Bible ALONE, yet you believe in non-Biblical terms like "sola scriptura", "sola fide", "trinity". Check the plank in your own eye...

There is NOTHING nonsensical about the argument we are trying to discuss. The point, again, is that though the "terms" sola scriptura, sola fide, and trinity are not in the Bible, their concept and their doctrinal references certainly are. The gist of the argument is then that we can believe in those doctrines that Holy Scripture teaches but issues or points in which Scripture is either silent or is NOT in agreement with cannot be stated as dogma and certainly not as salvific. Hence, the doctrine of Mary's sinlessness cannot be stated as de fide or "of the faith" nor can belief in it or disbelief of it be used to determine the righteousness of the Christian. Perhaps if that plank were removed you could understand the difference.

And here we have an excellent case study of why people who do not believe in God should not be taken seriously when expounding on the Scripture they consider part of a magic book written by a God they don’t know exists.
