I never contradict Paul; you simply buy into the false gospel of the dispensationalists that freely lie about every facet of the worship of Yeshua.

He is definitely not sexual, but very much masculine in his nature, as are all of his heavenly host.

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...

well....yeah....and they have taught that for 2,015 years.....and most protestant denominations think that way too...

Really??? Then why do you guys demand this verse speaks of water baptism???

oh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

>>when Jesus said you must be born again of water and the Spirit<<

Um....what? Where did Jesus say you must be born again of water?

>>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.<<

John3:5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 "Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'…

The guy had been born once of the water/flesh and needed to be born again of the Spirit.

It has been shown untold times on these forums that scripture is NOT on your side.

Satan works in a myriad of ways my friend. Sometimes he takes people too far. Your Hebrew roots approach is as damaging as the Catholic approach.

Everything you give the Catholic church credit for is really the work of the Holy Spirit.

We don’t need the Catholic church when we have HIM.

And just where is the Holy Spirit in your religion and what does HE do in your economy? I don’t recall ever seeing you mention Him or attributing to Him any of His work. It all gets attributed to the Catholic church.

I call Him father too...but to assign a sexual identity to Him is probably not a good idea...

Just when you think you've read it all from a Catholic. One comes along and proves you wrong......

Numbers mean nothing.

Not even in Christianity or Catholicism.

>>We can count on him, but the question with men always is can we count on ourselves?<<

John 10:28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.

So you would claim that God is powerless to protect us from ourselves? Really?

>>Jesus could have told his followers to take disputes to Him while He was still on earth, but he gave that Authority to His Church.<<

But never did they say take the dispute to the apostles or some hierarchical structure headed by some stand in for Christ.

Jesus told us to settle our disputes ourselves, but if someone wouldn’t listen, the FINAL step was to take it public and let the assembly decide.

He did NOT give blanket authority to the church nor did He command all believers to submit to Catholicism.

>>It could have been rendered distribution just as accurately.<<

NO, it could not have been.

The Greek word oikonomia is used nine times in the New Testament. It means: "management of household affairs, stewardship, administration". Not once in all nine times that it is used could the word "distribution" fit.

>>to establish a sex attributed to God is nonsense<<

Psalm 100:3 Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

"our Father which art in heaven"

John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

Psalm 145:17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does.

>>Baptism is in the name of Yeshua only.<<

Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

I think it best to take Jesus word over your word.

You are jumping in here while being ignorant of the premise i was refuting, which was that without an infallible magisterium then we could not know what was of God. Thus such questions like , "ince nobody is infallible, how do you know that's really true?" like that the Apostle John really explicitly wrote something.

While this may not be what you interpret Rome as teaching, yet as i had just provided , Cardinal Avery Dulles did claim ,

"People cannot discover the contents of revelation by their unaided powers of reason and observation. They have to be told by people who have received in from on high."

Let's be precise in our terminology. What the Catholic Church is indeed claiming is that, to discover ALL of the revelation God has revealed to mankind, all of it, not just a portion, then it is NOW necessary to have an infallible magisterium.

What I said before isn't inconsistent with this, as it is indeed possible for God to have:

A. Revealed Himself to whomever He chose in the OT, to fulfill his plan of Salvation for mankind, through mankind.

B. While He was here on Earth, in the flesh, obviously an "infallible magisterium" was NOT required since He was here. He was the source of infallibility then, since He is, even just by definition "infallible"

C. Now that He has ascended to heaven, and has revealed all there is to reveal to mankind (there is no more revelation to receive, the faith was "deposited" with the Apostles at Pentecost), *now* there exists a need for a magisterium to "know all things there is to know" about God, and thus we have statements like Cardinal Dulles'.

I hope this clarifies things.

What you need to provide is the basis for the novel and unScriptural premise of ensured perpetual magisterial infallibility as per Rome.

First of all, it's "unscriptural" in your opinion. You (among others) have been provided ample Scriptural evidence for the establishment of a visible Church government. You have simply rejected it, claiming it's unscriptural, because it contradicts Scripture elsewhere. Again, in your opinion.

The first part of your request (namely "provide...the basis for the NOVEL...premise of ensured perpetual magisterial infallibility...", emphasis added) is reasonable however, and that basis is given, I believe, in post 34. I have not seen anyone refute the logic there in this thread. If you would like to have a go at it feel free.

Hebrew roots people will be observing shavuot/Pentecost with Christians so they are not immune .

Hebrew rots and the other synagogue of Satan, Judaism, follow Rome just like the other religions.

Today is a ‘holy sabbath’ day for them because Rome says so..

On our Father’s calendar , today is His 5th Work Day, the 13th day of His month.

This coming pope Gregory ‘moon day’ will be the 7th Day Sabbath, the 15th Day of His month.

Interestingly, it is a day marked in Exodus 16.. the ‘next day’, 16th began the manna from heaven...

Who knew Israel had their own journey of 30/60/100 just like the Savior gave us those ‘folds’ in His parable of the sower!

After 30 days of their deliverance, manna from heaven.
After 60 days of their deliverance, thunder of His voice delivering His Law.
After 100 days of their deliverance, Moses comes down with the tables of the Covenant, written by His finger and sealed with His name, title and territory.

None of that can be ‘seen’ without first rejecting Rome’s calendar.
Because the synagogue of Satan uses another synagogue of Satan (Rome) they both are two peas in a pod..

Again, that is why I thank Him for the freedom He gave me... Jews and Hebrew roots are as enslaved.. they just reject some of Rome while still using Rome to set their work and worship lives too..

Those ‘postponement’ rules for His Feasts occur because Saturn’s day is their pope approved sabbath.

Jews moved up yom Kippur, tabernacles and passover these past seasons because of Rome’s Saturn’s day..
Chiun and repham are referenced against Israel in prophecy and study would lead to it being ‘Saturn’ worship..

That isn’t an accident..

The whole world is a counterfeit. Christendom gets its own ‘birthday’ wrong. Why would they care when He was really born either?

Uhh... John 3 - where Jesus said you have to be born again to enter the Kingdom of God; and Nicodemus asked “uh how can I be born again?”; and Jesus said water and the Spirit...

.
“in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” are not Yeshua’s words.

Those are always modifications of the original text, wherever they occur. Those changes were made in the 4th century, and never were they found in the earliest MS.

Most honest and knowledgeable scholars attribute them to Eusebius, who was Constantine’s available sycophant.
