Baptism you mean?Where is the reformation in the Bible?
Without rebirth there is no reformation.
No, I don't mean baptism. Rebirth has to do with the renewing of a person's paradigm.Baptism you mean?
No, I don't mean baptism. Rebirth has to do with the renewing of a person's paradigm.
Hi Hemlock,Where does the Bible say priests/clergy should be celibate?
NOTE: Peter was married.
Celibacy is a discipline not a doctrineHi Hemlock,
Did you know that there are married Catholic priest and there is no expectation for them to be celibate?

That's EASY . . .Thankyou for trying my patience. Where does it say in the Bible that HIS church is the catholic church?
By what authority did the pretend to reform the church founded by God, and doctrine revealed by God?
Only the apostles have authority from Christ and the so called reformers were not apostles or successors of the apostles
Thankyou for trying my patience. Where does it say in the Bible that HIS church is the catholic church?
Nothing about reformationThe Reformation is called Sardis in Revelation 3:1-6
Nothing about reformation
It is the church age that follows Thyatira, the Romans Catholic and Orthodox church. I doubt you would have been taught this. The first doctrines out of the Reformation is interesting to note that Jesus said, you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. But also during that age Jesus noted that there was also holiness. I see this as at the beginning you have doctrines from Martin Luther and John Calvin, but later John Wesley taught holiness.
All the seven church ages fit, in order, what we now see as church history. These were prophecies, in a book of prophecies.

Kingdom

the holy Catholic Church
Lk 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Do you know what, I have three university degrees so it is obvious that I can read and write but for the life of me I cannot see a single word that says catholic in any of the scriptures you have quoted.
Therefore I have to assume that you see what is not there and what you say is not there, is it a figment of your imagination.
I read in the newspaper the other day that some Cardinal has ripped of the catholic church to the tune of millions. No wonder they wanted to get rid of Cardinal Pell. He was a fly in the ointment to the thieving cardinals.
Does not say ages? There is only one church Jn 10:16 His kingdom dan 2:44 and its eternal, no end Lk 1:32-33
Good grief . . .It is the church age that follows Thyatira, the Romans Catholic and Orthodox church. I doubt you would have been taught this.

All the seven church ages fit, in order, what we now see as church history. These were prophecies, in a book of prophecies. We are in the last church age, but the last four church ages overlap to the end.
