Saint Patrick, pray for us!

[theefaith]

cuz you have no confidence that Jesus has your back!

Jesus sent apostles, why didn’t he do it all himself!

saint Patrick is the apostle of Ireland

he brought the faith to Ireland


Jesus Christ extends his mission, power, and authority to His church of His apostles!

Even His judging!
Matt 19:28
His teaching authority!
Matt 28:19 and Jn 20:21
His power to forgive sins!
Jn 20:23
His being the light of the world!
Matt 5:14
His ministry of reconciliation!
2 cor 5:18
His authority in governing the church and administering the kingdom!
Matt 16:18-19 & 18:18 Jn 21:17
Lk 22:29
Apart from me you can do nothing. Jn 15:5
So the church is subject to Christ!
Eph 5:24

Jesus Christ continues HIS ministry in His new covenant church thru Peter, the apostles, and their successors with the same mission, power, and authority!
Mt 16:18 Mt 28:19 Matt 18:17 Acts 1:17 acts 8:31 & 35 acts 9:4 Lk 10:16 Jn 8:32 Jn 13:20 Jn 15:5 Jn 16:13 Jn 20:21-22 eph 2:20 acts 2:42 1 Tim 3:15

Fundamentalism drives a wedge between Christ and his church, separates Christ from His kingdom, and the authority of Christ from the new covenant!

1 Corinthians 16:22
If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema

Extends to the truth and the church

Cos Christ is the truth and His church teaches the truth without error! Jn 14:6 matt 28:19 matt 18:17 1 Tim 3:15 Jn 29:21-23 Jn 16:13

Christ and His church are one! Acts 9:4 eph 5:32

Authority of the Apostles!

What authority does Christ have?
What power does Christ have?
What mission / ministry does Christ have?

Peter, the apostles and their successors have the same authority, power, and mission! Jn 20:21 as my father sent me, even so send I you!

John 17:18
As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

The apostles are Christ’s successors!
They have authority to send others as well, apostle means one who is sent!

Therefore the apostles have authority to send more apostles or successors!
Apostolic succession!

The nations still need to be taught, disciples still need to be baptized and the church the new covenant kingdom of christ still needs to be governed!

Hebrews 3:1
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

Christ is an apostle, and has authority to send other apostles, the apostles also have this authority, so the apostles continue down thru the centuries as Christ promised! Matt 28:19-20

Keys of authority! And power to bind and loose! Matt 16:18 and Matt 18:18 matt 28:19 Isa 22:21-22

Moral authority:
(Teaching)
Necessity of being taught by Christ:
Two edge sword: defining truth and condemning errors, and Interpreting scripture.

Jurisdictional authority:
(Governing / administering)
Necessity of Peter and the apostles and their successors to govern the holy church.

Spiritual authority:
(Life of Grace)
Sanctifying thru the mass and Sacraments

The apostles teaching is Christ’s teaching, Christ and His church are one! Acts 9:4

Christian rule of faith is not the Bible alone! But the doctrine of the apostles! Acts 2:42

 

[Mama Etna]

I have no need of deceased middlemen to intercede for me when I have my High Priest and Messiah, Jesus.

 

[theefaith]

Have you read of the origins of Saint Patrick?

Yes he was from England and a slave in pagan Ireland as a boy

 

[theefaith]

One only needs to ask God through Christ.

Mary all powerful advocate!
Help of Christian’s!

Mary ever virgin, mother of God, is all powerful in her prayers, cos she is God!

Mary’s prayers are all powerful not cos she is God but because her son is God!

and on becoming man He (Jesus) obeyed his own commandments

you might check out the one that says “honor Thy father and mother”

“My hour has not come”

The time set by almighty God for the public ministry of Christ had not come, Jesus Christ still performed the miracle cos his mother interceded, thus a higher law, “honor thy father and mother” if ANYONE else asked it would NOT have been done!
John 2

and cos of her intercession the disciples believed in Him!
Jn 2:11

Is Paul Divine?

Phil 4:13 I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me.

Jn 15:5 apart from me you can do nothing!

Mary is dead and no more powerful than any other godly woman.

She is dead and can help nobody.

She is no longer a virgin because she was married and had other children.

She is not God's mother.

She does not pray anymore because she is dead.

She IS NOT God.

I'm sorry if you find these replies offensive - but I do not like all the heresy that concentrates on Mary's powers above those of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Thee faith cannot see clearly my dear sister . WHEN we PRAY , we need only to pray to the CREATOR and not unto the created .
I pray one day he will soon realize this .
Even the angel rebuked JOHN twice and said YOU WORSHIP GOD ALONE . I am BUT your fellow servant and of your brethren .
AS was mary , peter , james and all of them . THEY would all rebuke thee faith for praying to them and would
have said , YOU PRAY TO GOD , YOU WORSHIP GOD , we are but men , your fellow servants and of your brethren .
THEE faith is in dire grave and deadly danger . I am so fearful for his soul .
WE must pray for him to return to scripture reading and pray that GOD will open his eyes .

They all rest in Christ now . Present with the glorious LORD .
And we need not to pray to any of them . THEY were but fellow servants and our brethren . THEY would SAY THE SAME
if they were to speak from heaven . WORSHIP GOD , thee faith , WORSHIP GOD and HE ALONE in JESUS NAME .
Thee faith is in dire danger sister . I truly pray he will come to the saving faith and learn well the scriptures for himself .

 

[amigo de christo]

Great post!

Indeed .

 

[amigo de christo]

Even the angel from heaven had to rebuke john twice .
Notice he says , He is simply a fellow servant and of the brethren .
WORSHIP GOD .
All the saints who now rest in Christ would tell thee faith the same thing .
SEE THOU DO NOT IT THEE FAITH , WE are simply your fellow servants and of the brethren , YOU PRAY TO GOD THEE faith .
THAT is what they would say if they were to speak to thee faith .
AND THAT the SPIRIT of PROPHECY IS THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST .
Thee faith is in dire and grave danger . WE must double down on our prayers for him and continue to correct his erros
when they are seen . HE must get in the bible for himself . Many catholics have been drawn out of error
by being LED by GOD back into the scriptures and learnining for themselves they soon realized they had been decieved .
I PRAY thee faith would do this . And fast too , cause no man knows their last day upon earth .
LET US POINT TO CHRIST and stay plugged into sound bible doctrine my friend .

I hope his eyes are opened like mine were, I was once a servant of Rome, no more now I serve God the Father and Christ his only begotten son. I use to pray the Hail Mary all of that, then one fateful day a weight weighed down heavy on me, I’ve talked about this before, I just couldn’t do it anymore, I looked all around and saw nothing but idols and worst when I looked up they had the blessed Mother above Christ our Savior as putting Mary above our Lord Jesus, I left and never turned back.

That was over a decade ago and I haven’t felt better.

I am so glad you got out. I have prayed for the RCC for a good few years now and rejoice to hear stories like yours @JohnPaul . I will carry on with my prayer quest and also pray for individuals who are held captive by the false doctrines and teachings of this - dare I say - cult. theefaith is never far from my mind as I bring his needs before our heavenly Father seeking his release from bondage to religion and that the eyes of his understanding will be opened. And that instead of religion he will know what it is to have a close and intimate relationship with Jesus. And know that peace that surpasses understanding that only comes through the Holy Spirit.

Thank you dear sister and I appreciate your prayers for me. I will also pray for theeFaith, I was lucky I got out I was woken by the truth, but our brother TheeFaith might not be so easy I don’t mean to sound negative but it looks like he’s deeply wrapped up and deeply indoctrinated in the RCC, so we must pray hard for him and hope he is touched by Christ and sees the truth.

Yes he seems to be more deeply involved than a mere churchgoer. The Catholics in my family could not quote the scriptures like he does. I shall ask God to show me how to pray.

So the church is subject to Christ!
Eph 5:24

hmmmm, you would have it that his 'apostles' even have authority over life and death no doubt........liberally taken in the slaughter of millions because they refused to acknowledge your boss's assumed right to Jesus's position.

As a reminder....'antichrist' is a designation meaning 'instead of Christ'......the spurious usurper who employs all the tools of the enemy.......the monkey suited pretender putting himself in the seat of Christ.

I would have you understand that the message is going out and the critical mass building.....yes, a time is coming where this pretence will be publicly stripped and humiliated. Revelation 17:16-17

@Heart2Soul
Some of us may not agree with how @theefaith prays, but so long as he is accepted as a Christian by the forum, should not his prayer thread be respected as are those of others?

Debates and discussions and criticisms do not belong here, do they? There are other places for those things.

I'm confused. Are you actually saying that debates and discussions and criticisms do not belong here? This is a discussion forum where people are free to express their opinions which sometimes differ. Where are these "other places"?
