The same is true, not matter which calendar you are using – Gregorian or Julian. The fact remains that a day is reckoned to ANY portion from sunrise to sundown – and a nigh as ANY portion from sunset to sunrise. When Esther was to appear before the king without being summoned (Esther 3:4) – she...

I read those posts. But, I think you’re coming from a false assumption of HOW the Church teaches. It’s not a “Our way or the highway” situation. Tradition and Magisterial teaching are never at “odds” with Scripture or are they ever presumed to be “above” Scripture. They go hand-in-and. That’s...

Okay - I re-read your last post, and it makes a little more sense now: Yes, that is what I’m saying. However – Matt. 16 is not the only verse I submitted for Church Authority.

Not sure what you’re ranting about. I stated that Church Authority is absolutely mandated by Scripture – and gave you several verses to support that position (Matt 16:16-19, Matt. 18:15-18, 2 Thess 2:15, Luke 10:16) I don’t see a SINGLE refutation of that argument in your response . . .

Post #269.

YOU can actually tell me that with a straight face after I just gave you a litany of man-made Protestant inventions?

Where does Jesus "disagree" with me?? WHERE in the OT do youfing the identity of Jesus of Nazareth? The Bereans made tht connection from the CHURCH because of what they had been told about Jesus.

The Bereans appealed to Scripture, for clues about what Paul taught them - which is a good thing because Scripture is Authoritative. You forget, howeber, that the Bereans ultimately believed in a fact that is NOT in the OT - that Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ, the Son of God. They learned...

From the beginning of time man has given his very BEST to God. Solomin’s Temple is described as having been more opulent and beautiful than ANY building we have today – complete with large statues, gold inlay, incense, etc.. Was God “disgusted” but this?? NO – He was pleased by it. The Holy...

So, YOU reject the basic tenets of the Christian faith such as: The Triune Godhead? The Virgin Birth? The Divinity of Christ? The Crucifixion as atonement for the sins of the world? The Resurrection? In that case, I guess I WAS wrong for calling you a “Protestant”. You’re just LOAT . . . And...

WRONG. Church Authority is ABSOLUTELY a Scriptural mandate: Matt 16:16-19 And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. WHATEVER YOU BIND on earth...

Absolutely. As for your erroneous view that the ECFs didn’t consider the Church to be centered in Rone – guess again . . . Clement of Rome Accept our counsel and you will have nothing to regret. . . . If anyone disobeys the things which have been said by him [Jesus] through us, let them know...

Ummmm,. maybe you should ask them . . . John Calvin – 16th century “Reformer” Frank E. Gaebelein – Deacon in the Reformed Episcopal Church John A. Broadus - Ordained Baptist pastor D. A. Carson – Baptist Professor of Theology John Peter Lange - German Protestant scholar J. Knox Chamblin -...

And some of the worst people I ever met were Protestants. However, unlike UOUI – I don’t make judgements based on anecdotal experience. There are lousy people filling the pews of EVERY church. What a complete failure to understand Scripture. Jesus was talking about not bringing attention to...

EVERY ONE of the sources I listed was a Protestant (non-Catholic) source – but you can keep your car . . .
