WOW! So I guess Paul is some kind of “flakey” conspiracy APOSTLE to the RCC. Sadly, the very place they SHOULD study, rightly divided, is the very place that appears to be back burner issues to them.

Actually, yes. From the 3rd ecumenical council in 431: There are others, but I think that's enough to make the point.

At that time there was no unified Catholic religion...That why they had councils...Different areas were being taught different doctrines by the bishops in charge of those areas...And often the decisions were for political purposes...

[Mark17]

Why is NO ONE castigated for having the ASSURANCE that the Brown Scapular seemingly provides?

I don’t know bro. I used to wear one, but since I left the Catholic Church, I know the scapular won’t protect anyone from anything. BTW, Mary and Joseph did the “evil deed,” they had sex and other children. 👍 One of whom, was the leader on the Jerusalem church. 😁😆😂

That is why I call it the ‘magicsteeringthem’. The hocus pocus is strong with that religion called Catholicism.

And here you’ve kicked over the facade of religiousness and found the real issue underneath.

In a word, No – the divine name, YHWH, does not appear in any NT text, nor does any NT writer allude to it.

Really??? LORD in the OT is a reference to the God of Creation which involves the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity...

LORD
yehôvâh
yeh-ho-vaw'
From H1961; (the) self Existent or eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God: - Jehovah, the Lord. Compare H3050, H3069.

The equivalent in the NT is:

godhead
theiotēs
thi-ot'-ace
From G2304; divinity (abstractly): - godhead.
Acts 17:29

Of the many OT quotations in the NT that include the divine name in the original Hebrew texts (e.g. Mt.3:3; 22:37; Mk.12:29; Lk.4:18), none carry 'YHWH' forward into Greek. All use the generic kyrios, or 'Lord'

There's a reason for that apparently unknown by whoever this writer is...

LORD in the OT is a reference to the Trinity while Lord in Matt. 3:3 and many other places (depending on context) is a reference to a part of the Trinity, Jesus...And NOT in the context of being the Trinity but the context of being the Christ/Messiah, one of the parts of the Trinity...

So No, Lord (Kurios in the NT) is not the same LORD as in the O.T.

Exactly...the 'church' epistles of Paul TO THE CHURCH destroys any legitimacy of the Catholic religion of being in any way connected to the church of the scriptures...

BOOM! Drop the mic!

As explained in the Fundamentals of The Faith, the gospel according to the religion of Catholicism is infused righteousness via works, fealty to sacraments, repetition of attendance at Mass. The Gospel according to the Word of God is an imputation of righteousness, the righteousness of Christ is imputed to us when we are born again from above.

You can’t fool everyone all the time.... catholics believe they have it... from what I’ve seen posted, where does your “truth” come from... not all from the bible.. which makes it suspect at best. I don’t want to argue with a catholic.. they have ONE opinion... THEIRS! No time for it... when it’s just wasted time. I’m as sure as they are sure... so don’t bother.

Well, most of their beliefs do, indeed, come from the Bible, and they held them for 1,600 years before Prots were even thought of....

You never even had a pope until after 600 AD...

Constantine combined a break-away religious sect with his politics and massive army and ruled with terror...Everyone in the military was ultimately forced to become Roman Catholic...

That was the beginning of the period known as the Dark Ages...Where Christians were murdered, bibles destroyed if they refused Catholicism...

They convinced you that you can't become a Christian without the Catholic religion...

Try it...Get away from all those pedophiles and queers like so many other former Catholic have done...They are not sorry...You won't be either...

[frnewsjunkie]

what I’ve seen on here, you can say they come from the biblle with paraphrasing going on.
Man cannot forgive sins.

I go back to when the Kennedy family was in politics..
John, Ted, Robert and others... they could divorce, and all kinds of living.. and not be excommunicated.... a priest would wink and nod in their direction. As long as a priest gave it a pass,.... but did God?

I knew a lady years ago and her priest visited her often in her home...she was a young lady and pretty. . he was there at least once a week...

Just a wink and a nod by a priest says it’s ok?

It’s one way of a life, I guess....

[frnewsjunkie]

Anything I might say just stirs up others. I don’t tell you how to live, but these catholics do....I am 100% against the catholic religion/church.. and best to leave me out of any discussion.

[MHGinTN]

So you would eat a bowl of sweet oatmeal if it only had a teaspoon of strychnine in it?

Excellent description of the scapular.

Who provides the 'validation'?

"Lord” was widely recognised to be a valid substitute for the divine name prior to NT times.

Can you picture this exchange:

Then Moses asked God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is His name?’ What should I tell them?”

God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you....but y'all can just call me "Lord", I'm okay with that, too.

Somehow, I don't think that would be how the I AM THAT I AM (YHVH) would have said it.

[boatbums]

AMEN!

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels, descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

As explained in the Fundamentals of The Faith, the gospel according to the religion of Catholicism is infused righteousness via works, fealty to sacraments, repetition of attendance at Mass. The Gospel according to the Word of God is an imputation of righteousness, the righteousness of Christ is imputed to us when we are born again from above.

And that IS found in the Bible:

And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. (Romans 4:21-25)

Couldn't find "infused" anywhere, though.
