Are you infallible?

St. Paul’s writings were, for the most part, LETTERS for goodness sakes. Do you think he sat down to write those letters, went into some kind of trance, and then allowed his hands and arms to move a pen to shape some letters and words that weren’t his own?

Quicksand, you're running on...

.but we both know he won’t because there are only 12 tribes in Israel, not 13. right??...

Actually, there are 13.

Then you are not a part of the elect; are you sure?

There is no “church age,” that is dispy nonsense.

There is no church.

There is only Yeshua’s assembly, and the rest of the world.

Matthias was not anointed by Yeshua.

The other apostles were not commissioned to select a successor.

They asked for an answer from God and got silence, so then they did the pagan thing and drew lots. They sinned.

Yeshua selected his own apostle, as he always intended.

Matthias was never heard from again.

Thanks for the work you do.

Thank you for such a kind recognition - But it is not mine to claim : )

I do not seek compliments.

(especially from goofy trolls)

Yeshua came only for the “lost sheep of the house of Israel.” If they are blinded, then we (you and me) are in deep trouble, because that is who we are.

The two witnesses - one cannot see, and the other can't sh'ma. Is 43:8+

Chuckle...

I had to look that one up.

The word "Bible" is not in the Bible either, but it is still the Word of God. I haven't seen anyone claim that because the word "Bible" isn't in the Bible, that it is discredited, but the law of averages tells me that some day I will.

You can count on it...

I look for them to have this “Bible” epiphany at the same moment the Body of Christ is raptured. Of course they will mass-post to us that we’re wrong, they’re right, the word “Bible” isn’t in the Bible, they win. But we won’t be here to refute them...:)

They'll think they 'won the battle' when none of us on FR respond to their posts...

Paul nor any of the writers of scripture were infallible. It is the Holy Spirit who is infallible and who's words the apostles and prophets wrote.

This is a common mis-conception...The Holy Spirit didn’t use them as some secretary, dictating to them what He wanted written.

I did not see CB saying SCripture was dictated, but Pope Leo XIII did:

...Sacred Scripture is not like other books. Dictated by the Holy Ghost, it contains things of the deepest importance, which in many instances are most difficult and obscure.

Not that other RC teaching does not contradict the idea that inspiration is dictation, as it does, while confusing inspiration with the Cath charism of infallibility is another error.

Writers of Holy Writ were inspired of God when writing, and thus their writings are infallible Truth, but that is not the RC charism of infallibility, which would promise such writers formulaic infallibility.

Under the latter, the pope does not speak under Divine inspiration when speaking an infallible statement, but is said to possess a gift of infallibility that will always prevent him from erring whenever He speaks universally in a certain manner on faith and morals.

This can only ensure he does not err, but which does not make God the author of the teaching as He is with Scripture, and if it is true (if it was) yet it lacks the power of the wholly inspired word of God.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)

Have enjoyed and learn from your posts. Thank you for the efforts. I leave the Catholics to those with more knowledge than I.

Don't get discouraged...Plenty of lurkers out there who want/need to hear what you have to say...

[terycarl]

-— The Bible is the only thing we need for salvation. -— Where is that in the Bible? Oh c'mon...The relevant scripture has been posted to you guys thousands of times...And now you are pretending you've never seen them???

the Catholics give you the Bible...you say the Bible is all that is needed for salvation....and then you suggest that the Catholics are wrong....

MAKE UP YOUR MINDS...

[terycarl]

Show us the path of transmission, who the word of mouth teachings were handed down to and from

Why??? would you then accept that information...I didn't think so.

[terycarl]

The one world religion is Satan’s. That is what the prophets tell us The false prophet (pope) will head it.

Christ came to Earth to redeem mankind.....all of mankind....everyone.....and He told His apostles to go forth and teach all nations....why do you suppose that He said that?? Do you think that Christ is O.K. with one true Christian religion and a zillion wannabees???, do you think that He is really enthused with the Hindus, Bhuddists, agnostics, atheists, satanists, whateverists????nope, His intention was to save mankind and convert all people on Earth to Catholicism....we're working on it for Him.

Thank you so much for your wonderful insights, dear brother in Christ!

In Psalms 18:2, it says, “The Lord is my Rock and my deliverer, my God, my Rock, in whom......”. He is our Rock not some sinful man. This is just part of a song we use to sing many years ago. It fits this situation though.

Wow...a planet or a religion with only one rock....

[editor-surveyor]

You should read the prophets.

Your theories are completely out of step with God’s plan.

[terycarl]

You mean you want a one world religion led by the deceiver? Wow! Can not believe anyone wants that who claims to be a Christian. So, you are for some kook to claim a one world religion? I am flabbergasted

Get unflabergasted...where did I say I wanted a one world religion led by anyone other than the vicar of Christ on Earth...that, of course would be the Pope...the head of the Roman Catholic church....Christ's church.

I have no idea who you are referring to as the deceiver, but, of course, it has nothing to do with Catholicism.....Maybe one of the myriad of "denominations" who call themselves Christian....but then, we know that story...
