for anything other than the ignorant, juvenile, mind, this is straight forward.

Christ is God incarnate. The Scripture is the Word of God. The Word of God says we're to obey our prelates. People who deny that we should have prelates deny the Word of God. Christ is called The Word, ergo, those who deny the Word of God deny Christ.

Furthermore, those who deny Christ cannot participate in the Eucharist, and the Word of God says those who do not partake of the Eucharist have no life in them. Those with no life in them cannot rightly divide His Word and therefore are by definition preaching another gospel when they interpret Scripture to suit their own preconceptions. Those who preach another gospel are anathema. Answering the vain ramblings of swine would be going contrary to Scripture which says not to throw pearls before swine.

have a nice

“Christ is God incarnate.”


Duh

“The Scripture is the Word of God.”


I’ll add Roman tradition is not the word of God.

“The Word of God says we’re to obey our prelates.”


Can you cite the scripture where it says we are to obey the Pope, who is about 2,000 years removed from Peter and utterly contradicts the Bible?

“Furthermore, those who deny Christ cannot participate in the Eucharist, and the Word of God says those who do not partake of the Eucharist have no life in them. “


You are putting works ahead of salvation. An act that is to be done “as a remembrance of Me” cannot possibly be a spiritual act that determines your salvation. Salvation is a spiritual act, achieved by grace through faith alone, not through any activity of your own. That is why Cornelius and his family were filled with the Holy Spirit the moment they believed in Christ even before they were baptized, gone through confession with a “priest”, and participated in Roman traditions which, at that time, did not even exist.
