Are you infallible?

No we do not.

Please re-read my post, I said all true Christians, and yes, they do.

Dispensation as Paul used it simply means a giving of something. It could have been rendered distribution just as accurately.

Dispensationalism abuses the meanings of many words.

It is false to its core.

[terycarl]

I mean, all true Christians know that there is only one true church. It is the 1901st Comm Gp, 60th MAW of the 2nd Removed Navigators Church of the Divine Word.

WOW...and Christ waited for 1,935 or so years before He revealed that to us.....countless billions of lost souls over the years because we could not take advantage of His true church....what a shame....and what a poor plan of salvation that He had....Come to Earth, spend time establishing a true church of salvation, get Himself crucified.....and then wait over 19 centuries to make us aware of His plan for our salvation.

Surely God could do better than that....

They didn't need a council to decide what to teach and preach...And that canon was being protected centuries before you religion was created...

Don't you ever read a history book???...Just who else was there to protect the canon...Catholicism has existed since day one when Christ made Peter its titular leader....there was no one else around.

[terycarl]

A Catholic woman I used to work with said her "Priest" told her that she could think of God as female if she wanted.

In all probability, God sports neither a penis nor a vagina...to establish a sex attributed to God is nonsense....we refer to God the Father so that humanity can have some conception of God as someone we can relate to. An ond, bearded white man on a throne with a bunch of angels floating aronnd is, of course, an artists conception of God. The priest, of course, should have used better judgement....but thinking of God as a female is no worse nor better that thinking of God as an old white guy.

>> “If he will not listen to the church Congregation, treat him as a pagan or tax collector.”

What about that does not sound like absolute authority? <<

.
Absolute authority to not associate with those who won't listen to you?

Brother, I would guess every time the Gospel is heard, satan sends his little whispers to convey this exact doubt:

I believe you are correct sir. 🇵🇭😄😃😀😎😇 It would appear to me , der's a whole lot a whisperin' goin on out der. 👎😹😂🙀😱

>>Nicodemus understands the first birth (water) to be a normal, human birth...And so do I...<<
Whey is that so hard for them to grasp?

---

Because it makes no sense? If in this statement water = amniotic fluid, when Jesus said you must be born again of water and the Spirit, he meant you must be born again of amniotic fluid and the Spirit? Um, he then told Nicodemus that he WOULDN’T be born again of amniotic fluid...

What I think you’re implying would be said “born of water and born again of the Spirit” - but that’s not what He said.

Yeshua declared that the Pharisees had neither authority, nor righteousness, so it is encouraging that you recognize that the catholic church is a successor in function to the Pharisees. :o)
.

[onedoug]

Funny. Orthodox Jews thought they were the successors to the Pharisees.

Good separatist pick there.

[terycarl]

People can not honestly believe that nonsense, do they? LOL.

Currently only about 1.4 billion....but who's counting?

[terycarl]

Amen. People are being led astray by both Catholics

Catholics are true Christianity....just what are they leading people away from....their Bible, their church which Christ founded....what???

[editor-surveyor]

You are essentially correct.

[Mark17]

The clear meaning is here for everyone to see. It's dealing with disputes among believers, not absolute authority given to *the Church*

Yep, EXTREMELY clear. I hate to keep using an old worn out cliche, but we are not discussing brain surgery here. It really is quite simple. 🇵🇭😃 True Christians understand it. 😂😇😱 Of course, we might need to define what a true Christian is, but that might be a topic for another thread. 😆😃😀 I have my own opinion, which, more than likely, matches yours. 😎😊😏😨😺👻🍒🍎🍉🍪🍭

[terycarl]

Are you saying baptism Is not part of protestant religions? If so, that is as fake as most of the stuff posted by some Catholics on here. I accepted Christ as a child and was baptized in a farm pond! Every Protestant church I have attended, practiced that belief. When I go by that pond on the way to my family in MS, I remember that day.

Of course Protestants practice Baptism....one of the few Sacraments they honor....and of course when you are validly baptized....you are Baptized Catholic....there is no other way possible....now you may not practice Catholicism, and may fall away from the church....but you are Catholic......If you desire to return to the Catholic church....you won't even have to be Baptized again.....you are already Catholic......Exciting isn't it???

[CraigEsq]

Baptism is NOT being born of water...No one was ever born of water by being baptized in water...Only in the minds of Catholics, I guess...

---

But baptism IS being born again of water and the Spirit...and people are born of the Spirit through water. See, e.g., John 3, Acts 2, Galatians 3, Colossians 2, Romans 6, 1 Peter 3...

Far from just a Catholic view...also Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, Episcopalian, Methodist... basically the entire Christian Church for the first sixteen or seventeen centuries...

[MamaB]

Sorry but baptism does not make anyone Catholic.
