Greatest Idol of today: The wafer (and wine); which the Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church teach is God Himself. That's over 1 billion professing Christians who worship this idol.

"The Beast is the papacy and the Mark of the Beast is Sunday sacredness:" Are you saying that Protestants teach Sunday is a sacred day? Or, Catholics teach that? Is Saturday a sacred day for SDA?

"What I asked for was not 'what or who a christian is '...but who has the right to tell someone else that they are not. (obviously you feel very qualified to do so.)" You are correct; I missed the question you were asking. I think Christians have the 'right' to tell someone that he/she is not...

You said: "No doubt we will get lists of verses from the bible. We already all know what the bible says…" Part of the definition of a Christian is that one would use Bible verses to define 'Christian'. So, with your desire to not use the Bible, plus your denial of the Triune nature of the...

I searched for info on General Forrest, found a Wikipedia page about him and here is a quote: "In the last years of his life, Forrest publicly denounced the violence and racism of the Klan, insisted he had never been a member, and made at least one public speech (to a black audience) in favor of...

Maybe someone has mentioned this already. If you think Abraham was saved, then this from Galatians 3: 8. … "the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” Was he alone? Not...

"No where on God's green earth is love ever offered, or requited, without the imperative of giving the other the ability and power to reject it." One cannot reject Grace, the free gift of eternal life. We are "..locked into a certain mindset.." as you say. I believe Grace, you believe work.

No, not true.

You say good words, but this goes too far for me: "I understand a prophet to be one who speaks God word in a way that is immediately empowered by the work of the Holy Spirit, and speaks God's actual word. I believe this happens in the modern day,.." I will not consider anyone's words as 'God's...

You said: "In the end the entire nation was taken into captivity because of their disobedience, and their inattentiveness to Sabbath keeping was at the top of the list of complaints that God had against them." I think Idolatry was, and is, at the top of the list. Christians are forgiven for not...

It may have little to do with being re-baptized, but she is right: the Catholic Church is not a Christian church. It is not 'hateful' and 'un-Christian' to call it a cult.

You said: "….the comparison of them believing in what was written instead of believing in Him who inspired what was written,…" No competition there. Believe both.

Your statement: "...fear is of the unknown." Is this the 'Word of God', just like the Scriptures? Or, are any of your words equal to the Scriptures? I'm asking, in keeping with the subject of the thread that "Scripture is not the last word".

What does 'all-the-way' mean? If I looked up the right type of church, the teachings sound pretty good, except for the King James-only part. But, we all have our particulars, I guess. Hang in there. Would you like me to pray about it?

You have enough discernment to choose one which is close to the teachings you hold to. Also, if you are married to a believer, he should lead on this. It's a lot of work, but you and your husband could actually help build up the church you choose.

I think that the Word of God (the Bible) is 'overkill' , so to speak. It is way more than I need to worship the true God, but also not enough to worship or know Him adequately. "Walk by faith, not by sight" is an important teaching in the Scriptures. I cling to that. So, you are correct that...

This is why 'Scripture alone' is so important. "He has spoken to me…" is not from God (including the chuckling); it is from the deceitfulness of your own heart.

You said: "The bible is to be taken literally until it says something impossible,…" Here is a literal statement that is impossible. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." It is impossible to raise someone from the dead, but that is a literal truth.

But, the 'Roman Church' believers will be (most likely) worshipping the bread and wine. Are you united in Christ with one who worships a physical object?
