>>>Your doctrine is blinding you from the truth of Scripture and your reasoning is flawed to the point of becoming heretical. Born again believers in the Messiah believe He was fully God and fully Man. Jesus is the one who refers to His followers as anointed, not we ourselves. If you have a problem with those terms you want to take that up with the Author!<<<

I believe that the virgin conceived and bore a Son and that His name was Immanuel Matt 1:23

It is entirely Scriptural, the Church has lasted for nearly 2000 years and understood, in its time, far more about scripture than you realize.

The correct passage of Matthew 1:23 is a virgin shall conceive, not ‘the”.

“It is entirely Scriptural, the Church has lasted for nearly 2000 years and understood, in its time, far more about scripture than you realize.”

Your second sentence is lacking in cohesion and secondly if it is true they have understood far more about Scripture than anyone realizes, why have they not followed it and instead followed man’s doctrine?

Yeah; especially THESE guys!




Pope Stephen VI (896–897), who had his predecessor Pope Formosus exhumed, tried, de-fingered, briefly reburied, and thrown in the Tiber.[1]

Pope John XII (955–964), who gave land to a mistress, murdered several people, and was killed by a man who caught him in bed with his wife.

Pope Benedict IX (1032–1044, 1045, 1047–1048), who "sold" the Papacy

Pope Boniface VIII (1294–1303), who is lampooned in Dante's Divine Comedy

Pope Urban VI (1378–1389), who complained that he did not hear enough screaming when Cardinals who had conspired against him were tortured.[2]

Pope Alexander VI (1492–1503), a Borgia, who was guilty of nepotism and whose unattended corpse swelled until it could barely fit in a coffin.[3]

Pope Leo X (1513–1521), a spendthrift member of the Medici family who once spent 1/7 of his predecessors' reserves on a single ceremony[4]

Pope Clement VII (1523–1534), also a Medici, whose power-politicking with France, Spain, and Germany got Rome sacked.

Agreed.

I also believe to pray to or worship anyone other than God is a sin against God.

Do you agree?
