For the meantime, we depend on people trained in the text languages to remedy contentions on doctrinal matters, through the method of expository teaching.

I agree.

And i'll let the various 'translators' fight in the background while I still have the right to use any of them as I see fit.


I think you're neglecting prayer and spiritual discernment, as well as having the Bible explain itself.

This has worked quite well; hasn't it!


The reason them other guys don't agree with ME is because...
...of a lack of prayer and spiritual discernment. As well as using the WRONG translation.

My answer is that you are asking the wrong question and in the wrong way that imputes a motive, which you deny.

Show me MOTIVE!

Genuine churches of the one holy catholic and apostolic Church the Messiah built have angels and candlesticks.

And are attended by True Scotsmen as well.

They need to do repentance and works (works are specifically mentioned 12 times across all the churches), just as the Messiah told their angels.

'specially them 7 in Revelation.

... do you mean the Baptist Bible Fellowship and/or the Bible Baptist Fellowship?

Or the SSPX or Vatican 12 group?

As I previously indicated, each corrective letter mentioned in Rev. 1-3 were addressed, not to the churches, but to a particular ordained individual, a messenger of the church which he was influencing.

HMMMmmm...


Revelation 2:2,8,12,18
 
2 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:
 
8 “To the angel of the church in Smyrna write:
 
12 “To the angel of the church in Pergamum write:
 
18 “To the angel of the church in Thyatira write:
 
Revelation 3:3,7,14
 
3 “To the angel of the church in Sardis write:
 
7 “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:
 
14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:

I'd like to see the GREEK that describes this person.

The communion of 14 or 15 regional churches that is the Orthodox Church does not submit to the authority of the Pope.

Heck!

From what I've read here on FR; most of our Catholic freepers don't either!!

OK, so a serious question.

How can they be in *full communion* if they refuse to acknowledge the authority of the pope?

I’ve posted before some of what the church fathers have stated about submitting to the authority of the pope, that it’s necessary for salvation.

If they don’t submit, then, they are not saved according to those teachings.

So how can they be in full communion when they don’t accept all of the teachings?

Doesn’t *full communion* imply and mean complete agreement with the church’s teachings?

I find it interesting that those who insist that the Holy Spirit inspired the NT in Greek also insist that the Holy Spirit did not inspire some of the OT books written in Greek.

Which books were those bro? I thought ALL the OT books were written in Hebrew. I don’t think there was even one, that was originally written in Greek. If I am not mistaken, the Septuagint, was a Hebrew to Greek translation.

The “Petros” vs. “petra” is SO clear. Elementary, really. But if someone wants to create a cult, I guess it’s easy enough to pull something out of the air and run with it.

Yep, there are cults everywhere. I like to immediately cut through all other stuff, and simply ask people, what is your plan of salvation? It’s not that other issues are not important, but the only thing that matters at all, is whether someone goes to Heaven or Hell.

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

Dude had the other guy’s body thrown into the Tiber? I knew there was a reason why I have no desire to swim in it. 👎

2: Indoctrination/teaching from a young age is difficult to overcome too.

Some of us, however, did indeed overcome it. 👍😁😇

The two that I was able to at least see acknowledged were the immaculate conception and the assumption of Mary.

YOu'd think they might jot those down somewhere.

And what are the consequences of NOT believing them? IOW, if someone does not acknowledge them, does it affect their salvation?

The Roman Catholic has to believe this per the proclamation or else.

Hence, if anyone shall dare — which God forbid! — to think otherwise than as has been defined by us, let him know and understand that he is condemned by his own judgment; that he has suffered shipwreck in the faith; that he has separated from the unity of the Church; and that, furthermore, by his own action he incurs the penalties established by law if he should are to express in words or writing or by any other outward means the errors he think in his heart.http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Pius09/p9ineff.htm

Someone quite graciously posted a list of infallibly declared teachings of Catholicism that all Catholics are bound by to obey.
