Are you asking a mere human to judge these two on the condition of their souls?
Throughout his life, David - a man after GOD's own heart, was always killing one enemy or another.
Will we see him in heaven?
Not exactly what the guy in the mirror says each morning.
You make Mary cry...
(got them from Mom...)
Certainly and after blowing a gasket and condemning others who seem to be making judgments about their souls, those Catholics then turn around and set up gotcha scenarios and demand you judge the condition of some hypothetical or real person’s soul.
Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression[a] and judgment he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was punished.[b]
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the Lord makes[c] his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,
he will see the light of life[d] and be satisfied[e];
by his knowledge[f] my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,[g]
and he will divide the spoils with the strong,[h]
because he poured out his life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.
Pray for peace in Ukraine!
Matthew 24:20
pray that when you flee, it will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath.
Not persuasive. In all other instances where scripture references non-scriptural sources it is merely to confirm some factual assertion. Jude declares the prophesy of Enoch as authoritative.
“He explicitly gave them power to forgive sins.”
Nope, He gave them authority to write the Holy Scriptures under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit which declares what is sin and what is not. That’s why in Matthew’s account of the keys to the kingdom it is written in past tense signifying that GOD’s law existed before our universe was created.
You can also see in Matthew 9 that Jesus did not correct the statement that only GOD can forgive sins, He let it stand and added that He has the authority thus confirming that only GOD can forgive sins.
“anti-Catholic bigots”
I get the same response from the homosexuals and trans when I tell them they are living in sin, birds of a feather flock together.
“It can’t be the same sacrifice because Jesus is not still on the cross.”
Rome must think Jesus is still on the cross because every Roman cult building I have been in still has a devilish idol hanging on a cross. What I find interesting is that Jesus is depicted dead on their cross or as a baby on many paintings, but I have yet to see their fake goddess dead, she’s always alive.
If I were Satan that is exactly how I would have it too, a dead savior isn’t the true Savior just as the female diety they worship and serve is not Mary the mother of our Lord Jesus.
“I’m not aware of any Orthodox or Catholic teaching that Mary is a goddess”
rcc’s pray to Mary and their god
rcc’s bow to Mary and their god
rcc’s kneel to Mary and their god
rcc’s offer sacrifice to Mary and their god
rcc’s serve Mary and their god
rcc’s get grace from Mary and from their god
And service is also included in the commandment thou shall not worship or serve other gods.
“You have to have a plausible answer then, why the Holy Spirit would allow this Church error of canonicty to exist for over 1000 years.”
The Holy Spirit indewells saved born again believers not .org’s.
Orthodox Judaism has misinterpreted Scripture for 2400 years and counting.
It is called free will, you might remember the story of Adam and Eve.
Thank you for your postings.
It gives everyone a chance to see what true bigotry is.
If you are done with your stupid, anti-Christian diatribes, you can put your hood and sheet back on.
Actions speak louder than words.
Classic projection.
Is this an example of Catholic charity?
Meaning the prophesy also was a factual assertion, and considering just some of the problems my brief examination lists, then to class the whole book as Scripture is a problem.
No, prophecy is a divinely inspired prediction of future events. It cannot be confirmed by contemporary secular sources. To divinely cite it as reliable is to attest for it’s divine inspiration. There’s no way around it.
