The Synodal Church is Shaping Up to be Protestantism in Union with a Bishop of Rome

oooooo......ya got me!!!!

You really don't want me to show your errors....do you??

I recognize the current pope. I pray for his conversion and for the gnome’s conversion.

I reject that he was “legally elected”, however.

I’ve recognized all “duly elected” popes. What makes you think otherwise?

—>> Remember, Martin Luther wrestled with the Devil. Luther lost.

As a Catholic, I should add to ebb’s comment..

He is incorrect.

This is based on a wild comment by Pio, who was an attention seeker.

Well, we finally have an answer which contradicts your prior position.

Now, the next question....who in the OMCET world was the last duly and legally elected pope?

And, what gives you, OMCET, the right/knowledge to determine if the current pope is legally elected?

You really don't want me to show your errors....do you??

I don't give a hoot what you do, gnome.

That's like Satan asking me to show me my "errors".

To the both of you:

Get behind me!

—>> It’s hilarious that an anticatholic is lecturing on who is a “duly, legally” elected pope.

And here, speaking as a long-time catholic, ebb is an anti-Protestant and tries to lecture about what they believe. I observe that he is usually wrong about it to.

I'd have to slow down to get behind you....well, for you to even catch up.

But rest assured....that's not happening.

You may remember this.

I see your point.

However, from the Catholic Catechism

I. THE SABBATH DAY

2168 The third commandment of the Decalogue recalls the holiness of the sabbath: "The seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD."92

2169 In speaking of the sabbath Scripture recalls creation: "For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it."93

2170 Scripture also reveals in the Lord's day a memorial of Israel's liberation from bondage in Egypt: "You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out thence with mighty hand and outstretched arm; therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day."94

2171 God entrusted the sabbath to Israel to keep as a sign of the irrevocable covenant.95 The sabbath is for the Lord, holy and set apart for the praise of God, his work of creation, and his saving actions on behalf of Israel.

2172 God's action is the model for human action. If God "rested and was refreshed" on the seventh day, man too ought to "rest" and should let others, especially the poor, "be refreshed."96 The sabbath brings everyday work to a halt and provides a respite. It is a day of protest against the servitude of work and the worship of money.97

2173 The Gospel reports many incidents when Jesus was accused of violating the sabbath law. But Jesus never fails to respect the holiness of this day.98 He gives this law its authentic and authoritative interpretation: "The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath."99 With compassion, Christ declares the sabbath for doing good rather than harm, for saving life rather than killing.100 The sabbath is the day of the Lord of mercies and a day to honor God.101 "The Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath."102

It continues by teaching the holy tradition and explaining that for Christians, the seventh day is the Sabbath and the next day, the first day of the week, is the Lord's Day and that the Lord's Day fulfills the moral and spiritual obligation for Christians to rest and worship together one set aside day a week.

For Christians it has become the first of all days, the first of all feasts, the Lord's Day (he kuriake hemera, dies dominica) Sunday:

We all gather on the day of the sun, for it is the first day [after the Jewish sabbath, but also the first day] when God, separating matter from darkness, made the world; and on this same day Jesus Christ our Savior rose from the dead.106

Well, we finally have an answer which contradicts your prior position.

The eagle gnome does not know that my position has never changed.

It's the gnome who has been telling all what I supposedly think, what I believe, etc.

The gnome has been wrong on all counts.

And any minute now, the gnome will pull out his scapular attack. He always does as his last desperate resort.

You may remember this.

Nope. I've never been is such a stupid position on a chessboard.

You must be thinking of one your own defeats.

Your prior posts say otherwise as shown on another thread .

And any minute now, the gnome will pull out his scapular attack. He always does as his last desperate resort.

Yet it is you who brings it up. The guilt of the idol around your neck getting to you?

>>You may remember this.<<

Nope. I've never been is such a stupid position on a chessboard.

You were just there a couple of nights ago.

Shall I refresh your feeble mind??

As I've said numerous times....public debate is not for you.

Awaiting your answers. Should be fairly simple even for you.

I read your words. When you quote Scripture, you do well. When you write the musings of man and go counter to Gods Word, you do not do well.
You quote "The Son of man is Lord, even of the Sabbath" and go on to say Sunday is the Lords Day. That is talking out of both sides of the mouth. I can show you where there is a commandment by God to keep the Sabbath Day holy but you cannot show me a commandment to keep Sunday holy. Jesus and the Apostles were observant Jews. And regardless of what your colleague says, they observed the Sabbath. They kept it holy. They taught others to do the same.
It is not in Scripture of the change of solemnity of Sabbath to Sunday. Can you tell me what/when is the exact origin of this change? And by whose authority?

WHICH assertion? That Jesus and the Apostles were not Sabbatarians? Or that I’m doomed for being one?

What do you mean that you are a "Sabbatarian?"

As I've said numerous times....public debate is not for you.

I'm not hear to debate with heretics. I'm here to defend the True Church.

I keep the Sabbath day holy. That is a day of rest and worship.

The guilt of the idol around your neck getting to you?

Light as feather, lifting me up to Heaven.

Sabbath as in 7th day of the week. Saturday, we call it.
