Mmm. Tell that to the many Vietnam vets who still don't know why they went there. But the Vatican knows huh.
Do you think that the Serbs would agree with you BoL when you explain to them the justice of having priests fighting among the Ustachi?

Just for your information BOL, here is a clipping from this mornings news
Another Op-Ed piece which has absolutely NOTHING to do with the subject (we were discussing, which is the Sabbath.

Anyway - all this Op-Ed piece shows is an abuse of power by some - but NOT official doctrine.
I can just as easily cherry-pick through the many sins of the leadership of just about ANY Protestant denomination - so try to stay on-point.

Can you show me the OFFICIAL Catholic declaration, document or decree that ordered these priests to fight?
I didn't think so, Einstein . . .

Your arguments are as phony as your SDA doctrines . . .

I really don't like all the Catholic hate going on, Many accused Martin Luther of being racist, shall we deem all Lutherans racist?
If you can quote a post of mine that expresses hated toward any Catholic individual then I shall take no further part in this conversation and a general apology shall be issued forthwith.
Thing is though bro, hatred isn't such a bad thing. Intense dislike for something that is dangerous to yours and your loved ones health and well being is not a bad thing yeah? And history shows that Catholicism as an enterprise and power hungry state had not been the positive influence in the moral and political nor financial well-being of any country which they have taken over as far as I can tell .

Dead Bread, stop pretending the church didn't quietly pay off families of victims. No court records. No lawsuits. Just attorneys on both sides meeting to hammer out the details in what was a papist child rapist cottage industry, where the priests did no jail time, were shuffled around to other parishes, and everybody turned a blind eye.
Yes, this is what is known as a "settlement", Einstein.
They are ALL transparent and legitimate. None of this was done in "secret".

I think it will be nearly impossible to reeducate the masses, they will have to learn it on their own like I did.

Show me the Biblical doctrine that says it's okay to kill native Americans
and steal their land.
doctrine of discovery
While you're at it - you also need to show me the Biblical doctrine about the sun revolving around the sun.
Giordano Bruno was burned alive for believing the earth revolved around the sun. this idea was Heresy and against what the church taught. Galileo was jailed for the same thing, he was closely tied to the Medici family so they let him go. when you have friends with money you get a free pass.

If you can show me these Biblical doctrines - I will leave the Catholic Church and join YOU in your rebellion.

rebellion?, you mean thnking for ones self with out a council telling me what to think?

I've already stated it, but it bears worth repeating: I have a solution to what the rest of us can only conclude - by your own constant characterization of the countless statements offered by your own papal representatives which describe papal practices that are opposed to Scripture - as an epidemic of rogue papists within the papacy: have the Pedophile-in-Chief Jorge declare a death decree to any and all "heretics" who would dare publicly declare or publish anything that is contrary to "official papal dogma".

Just like old times, right?
The funny things is that YOU don't even understand what a "heretic" is.
MOST of the anti-Catholic posters on this form don't.

As for "pedophiles" in the ranks - you REALLY should do your homework, Einstein.
the problem is out of control on your own cult . . .
Finding Justice for Victims of Sexual Abuse in the Seventh-day ...
Like other religious organizations and institutions of trust, the Seventh-day Adventist Church has a long and disappointing history of child sex abuse. In the United States, hundreds or more SDA children have been abused in SDA churches, schools, camps, and programs for teens and children, like Adventurers.

So far, there has been no public disclosure of the number of children molested in the DA Church, unlike the recentPennsylvania grand jury report involving the Catholic Church or the public release of the Boy Scouts “Ineligible Volunteer Files” on accused child molesters. From our own work representing SDA clients, we know that Adventist Risk Management, the official insurance company for the Seventh-day Adventist Church, has handled claims of over 500 child sex abuse victims in the US.

Jaybird, no Christian accepts the killing of Indians, that was a tragic part in U.S. history.
thats easy to say after everything has been taken.
and it was a tragic part of US history that was backed up by the church at the time.

America was anti-Cathoilic at the time, it was and is a Protestant nation, how was the Catholic Church to blame?

You need to move on, don't be like the blacks who are still moaning and groaning about slavery and trying to get reparations when that was a few hundred years ago, most are on some kind of government assistance anyway, don't be like them.

Soooooooi, you couldn't find a Biblical doctein so you made one up - is that it??
Giordano Bruno was burned alive for believing the earth revolved around the sun. this idea was Heresy and against what the church taught. Galileo was jailed for the same thing, he was closely tied to the Medici family so they let him go. when you have friends with money you get a free pass.

Giordan Bruno being executed for "science" is a work of anti-Catholic fiction.
He was executed by the secular authorities for MANY things - bot NOT for believing in heliocentrism.

As for Galileo - his troubles had very LITTLE to do with his heliocentric beliefs - and more to do with rebellion and mockery.

You wanna have a serious discussion about history?

Fighting communism is ALWAYS the right thing to do.
Other than Abortion - NOTHING has killed more people in the 20th century than Communism.

If corrupt U.S. politicians hadn't prolonged the war for their personal gains - this never would have been a problem.

I never said that. I said that He was MANIFESTED in a human body.
God ALSO was manifest as a ROCK (1 Cor. 10:4). If He wanted to be manifested as an aardvark - that is HIS prerogative - NOT yours.
i agree, the Most High can do whatever He wills, but IMO He does no contradict Himself. when He says He is not a man, to me that means He is not a man. and i dont think there is a backdoor(manifest as a man) loophole around it.

God is SPIRIT, as I showed you (John 2:24). YOUR problem is that. in your arrogance - you limit God's abilities and powers.
i think the problem is i put the words of the Most High, He is not a man, over your doctrine of man, the Most High is a man when He says He is not.
Don't be so quick to put God in a box made of your own limitations . . .
ironic being as thats exactly what the trinity does. i have not defined the Most High as anything. i believe the Most High is not a man because the Most High says He is not a man.

Then, why don't YOU explain why God is described in Gen. 1:26 in plural terms such as "US" and "OUR"??
I would LOVE to hear YOUR explanation.
how do you know the Most High is not talking to the Sons of the Most High that we know were in heaven at this time of creation?

By giving you over FIVE DOZEN verses about the Trinity - I was showing you a Biblical CONTEXT. All YOU have done here is cherry-pick one verse - then refuse to show it in context with the other FIVE DOZEN or so verses I presented. Context is NOT your friend.

The bottom line here is that you won't go through all of the other verses - because you CAN'T . . .

i went through one, pointed out the errors, and you have no response. sho me in the bible where "US" is defined as trinity and not more than one. it doesnt, your inputting an assumption, thats not how you read scripture.

There are only two choices for the Christian: the one choice is to believe as this wonderful statement from the Review and Herald, Dec. 15, 1885, testifies about the relevancy and role of Scripture:

"The Bible, and the Bible alone, is to be our creed, the sole bond of union; all who bow to this Holy Word will be in harmony. Our own views and ideas must not control our efforts. Man is fallible, but God's Word is infallible...Let us meet all opposition as did our Master, saying, "It is written." Let us lift up the banner on which is inscribed, The Bible our rule of faith and discipline".

The other choice is to follow the philosophy of the papacy:

"Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the church ever did, happened in the first (actually, it was the third) century. The holy day, the Sabbath, was changed to Sunday...not from any directions noted in the Scriptures, but from the church's sense of it's own divine power...People who think the Scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically become Seventh-day Adventists, and keep Saturday holy." -- St. Catherine Catholic Church Sentinel, May 21, 1995
A warm thank-you to the papacy for their endorsement :)
I like the first option.

so just so im understanding, both guys are teaching the same thing, same time, put on trial same time, and your saying there is no connection? lol ok
they always pile up as many heresies as possible to justify the murder for the masses or the people wouldnt put up with it.

one guy was murdered, the other guy gets set free and the one that gets set free just happened to be supported by one of the wealthiest families in europe that just so happen to loan money to the vatican and also have their own family members in cardinal positions. yeah im sure there was nothing bias at that trial.

i love history, here is a fun history fact about the Medici family, unlike other wealthy families, the Medici family actually gave most of their wealth to the people of Florence, help kickstart the Italian renaissance, they would even meet the common people face to face each morning. then later on they got involved in the Vatican, bought some cardinal positions, and eventually the Pope seat and after that they didnt seem to give to the people any more, matter of fact they kinda just turned into another wealthy corrupt family that exploited the common people. strange that it was not until after they got mixed up with the Vatican they became so corrupt.
and its hard to mention the Medici family with out Leo 10th, wow, where does one even begin with that guy.

your right, things like thiss hould be swept under the rug and ignored rather than trying to learn from them and not make sure it never happens again, but it will happen again which is why its always ignored.

most are on some kind of government assistance anyway
wow! maybe those dumb blacks should just go back to Africa, ohh my mistake as they cant, every single thing in Africa of any economic value is owned by anglo-america for the last 500 plus years, duhh

This is a silly argument.

The Word of God - the Scriptures - call Jesus "God" (John 1:1).
Jesus calls Himself "Son of Man". YOU reject this because you have no faith in the Word of God - and therein lies your problem.
i went through one, pointed out the errors, and you have no response. sho me in the bible where "US" is defined as trinity and not more than one. it doesnt, your inputting an assumption, thats not how you read scripture.
And once again - you fail to understand CONTEXT.

I gave you some 64 verses stating the :
The Father is God
The Son is God
The Holy Spirit is God.

So far - all YOU have done is rip one of those 64 verses out of context to make your point. It doesn't work that way -- and THIS is at the root of your confusion about Scripture. By the way - you NEVER explained who the "US" is in Gen. 1:26 . . .

Discovery doctrine - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_doctrine
PLEASE tell me you're joking.
Are you really this dense - that you cannot discern a Biblical doctrine from a purely political one??

There is NO SUCH Biblical doctrine as "Discovery Doctrine". This is a American political ideology - like the Monroe Doctrine.
Those are NOT the same as BIBLICAL doctrines.

How old are you?? It's sad that you don't understand the difference . . .

In the cases of Bruno and Galileo - the fact that both guys espoused heliocentrism during the same period - and only ONE of them was executed should have been your FIRST clue.
This shows ANYBODY with the intellect of an artichoke that their cases really had nothing in common.

You don't love history.
You pnly love YOUR perverted view of it . . .[/QUOTE]

Hi -

Is your point, Saturday is the first day of the week and should be observed as ...
A day of rest?
A day of worship unto the Lord?

God Bless,
Taken
No, my point is that Saturday is the LAST day of the week, the seventh day, which God set aside for us to rest and worship Him, fellowship with the brethren, go on God's errands like Meals on Wheels, visiting the nursing homes, etc. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are decreed W-O-R-K days, per the Fourth Commandment, right?

And I just LOVE IT when people get all sanctimonious and pious and devout and say, "...**ahem**....I worship God every day..."

Really?

How many of us slave all day at the office, the field, or where ever, putting up with the boss' aggravation, coworker aggravation, customer aggravation, etc., and then after a long day have time to do anything but rush home and tackle domestic affairs before getting the family ready to call it a day and preparing to do it all over again the next day? How many of us? The answer is none of us. God knew it.

THAT'S WHY HE GAVE US THE SABBATH. The day HE designated, the seventh day, for coming apart from all that mumbo jumbo and resting from it all as we rest in Jesus, remembering how it was in the Garden before this awful mess we got ourselves into and being reminded that one day not far off, we'll be done with all the trials, heartache, toil, etc., that we must endure while we are yet awaiting His return.

And after God Who is the only One Who can make anything holy and declared the seventh day holy, no sinful man can come along and make another day holy...ESPECIALLY one that God already designated a W-O-R-K day, right or wrong?
