    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    The Church doesn't place ANY of these ABOVE the Word of God. What Jesus was rebuking the Pharisees for was placing THEIR traditions OVER as important as anything God had commanded. However – I’ll go through your list anyway . . . 1. veneration of Mary Definition of Venerate: “To regard with...

    Since you can’t seem to read – I will deal with only a few of these examples. I explicitly asked you name a SINGLE Catholic Tradition that has been placed OVER the Word of God. This list is from an anti-Catholic book from the 19th century by Catholic-hater, Loeaine Boettner called, Roman...

    I haven’t “dodged” anything. I have warned you quite clearly that your false doctrine of Sola Scriptura is Biblically-untenable. In other words – it goes AGAINST Scripture. YOUR heresy oof refusing to worship God in the Holy Spirit is based on your WRONG. First of all - you alone are NOT the...

    Absolute nonsense. You can’t name a SINGLE Catholic Tradition that jas been placed OVER the Word of God. On the contrary - it is Protestantism that invented unbiblical doctrines such as: Sola Scriptura Sola Fide Eternal Security Limited Atonement Imputed righteousness Denominations etc. More...

    In post #172 – YOU stated the following unbiblical claim: “We are to pray to the Father alone.” Not only does the bible NEVER make this claim – I showed you that the word, “Pray” is used for more than just communicating with God. Never ONCE did I male the claom that I was giving you Biblical...

    WRONG. There were MANY individual and unofficial “canons” floating around until the 4th century. Most pf them included Books that were later regarded as apocryphal and uninspired writings. Books like the Gospel of Peter, Epistles of Barnabas, The Shepherd of Hermas, Protoevangelium of James and...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    Jesus condemned the Pharisees – NOT for their traditions – but for placing them ABOVE God and nullifying His Word. ALL faithful Jews – including Jesus - practiced and believed in tradition (Matt. 2:23, Matt 23:2, 1 Cor. 10:4, 2 Timothy 3:8, Jude 9). Not only does the Church NOT place Tradition...

    This is precisely WHY I gave you the definition of “Pray”. It means to “ASL”. However, it ALSO means “to address GOD in WORSHIP”: Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary: Full Definition of pray transitive verb 1: entreat, implore —often used as a function word in introducing a question...

    Yes - a LOT of people ignorantly believe that God dropped Bibles our of the sky . . . Je left us a CHURCH to lead and teach - NOT a Book.

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    This is the problem with Sola Scriptura. IF everything we believe MUST come from Scripture – then YOU are a heretic for believing in Sola Scriptura because it is NOT taught. As I educated you earlier – the Holy Spirit is GOD – and the Scriptures affirm this (John 14:16-18, Acts 5:3-4) . Show me...

    That's a silly argument . . . Soooo, every U.S. President is “illegitimate” because he may NOT have seen eye-to-eye with a predecessor? Is that a limitation that YOU have placed on legitimate succession?? Apostolic Succession is just what it says: Apostolic SUCCESSION. One who SUCCEEDS a...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    Absolutely - for those of you who have NO faith. However, when you trust Jesus and believe His promise that His Church would not succumb to darkness - then Apostolic Succession is very easy to understand.

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    I know you’re just being silly because asking animals to intercede for is found nowhere in Scripture. Intercession from fellow members of the Body of Christ IS (1 Tim. 2:1-3, Col. 1:24, Rev. 5:8). Oh, and Apostolic Succession isn't passed through family lineage - but through succession of...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    First of all – Jesus never instructed us to pray to the Father “Alone”. He taught us HOW to pray to Him. Rp “PRAY” simply means to “ASK”” Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary: Full Definition of pray transitive verb 1: entreat, implore —often used as a function word in introducing a...
