You have a problem with that? Does that need to be interpreted? Sounds similar enough to me. And the context doesn't change the core meaning of Jesus's words here. And the rest of scripture agrees with that core meaning. KJV Acts 17:24-31 24 God that made the world and all things therein...

Universally recognised in western Christendom? Nonsense. If that were true, why did the church find it so essential, before the resignation, to instigate crusades and inquisitions to root out heretics to the Catholic faith? Why was Rome so opposed to Celtic Christianity and the Waldenses if they...

Which verse are you referring to? Which 6 words?

The ants aren't that little either...

I belong to this church, as described in Revelation 12 and 14... KJV Revelation 12:17 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. KJV Revelation 14:12 12 Here is the...

If the men and the Bible agree, there's no problem. If the men and the Bible disagree, you are welcome to obey the men, I will obey the Lord God of Israel and His word.

None of that will be necessary. I will show you a proven alibi, and you will apologise for accusing me falsely, and I will forgive you.

Indeed. As an officer of the law, He is the representative of the government who enacted that law. be merciful and Jesus was the rightful representative of the government of heaven, and therefore qualified to be merciful and forgive sinners, taking the due punishment for sin upon Himself. The...

I think most of us here understand that. I do not come here as a voice on behalf of Protestantism. Protestantism as a principle is good, but the institutions that have historically professed to be protestants have failed their calling. Protestantism as a worldview, and the need for a reformation...

Jesus explained how we should approach such declarations that when literally taken, prove difficult, even impossible to understand. In the context of the above, He said, KJV John 6:63 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are...

That "highest rank' could very well be understood to mean, as vicar literally means, in place of Christ.. Instead of Christ... In the room of Christ. Yes?

Yes. I was one of them. But not all the truth. Christians continue to study and learn throughout all eternity. In the over all scheme of things, we know nothing much at all. Enough to be assured of our salvation, and prepared for Jesus' return. Many take that route, yes. I did that and the...

You don't read scripture much do you? Or was it my post you didn't read? I quoted scriptures in my post, and what I said otherwise was based on scripture. John 15:5. KJV Romans 8:5-10 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the...

One can acknowledge the Father, Son, and holy Spirit without discussing the various versions of the Godhead that people have, but still be focusing on scripture. Making assumptions beyond what scripture actually says is where we get into trouble.

But unfortunately many such drivers will thank the officer profusely, and lay rubber and tear up seal in their hurry to spend the $300.

@covenantee No need to find quotes that affirm the Popes as seeing themselves as something more than the common herd.... Their actions have more than cried aloud their ambitions for honour and glory by seeing fit to claim authority to change God's law. If that single action (substituting the 7th...

In answer to the bolded question above... Who knows? I understand there are writings attributed to Cyprian, writings that strongly affirm Catholic dogma regarding the eucharist, the primacy of Peter and the chair of Rome, infant baptism etc. But who knows if those writings are genuine? The early...

"Sometimes associated" I think could be seen as somewhat of a euphemism. I agree with you. If the Catholic church does not meet all of these specific criteria, then clearly she cannot be the Antichrist. You have offered in defence... Indeed, the popes have been the most vigorous in affirming...

If you can copy and paste or quote one example where I bashed a Catholic personally, I would be interested. Yes, the church will be translated at the second coming. But every individual? Every congregation even? I have faith that within the Catholic communion there are many who I will see in...

So individual Christians can no longer receive the holy Spirit? And the holy Spirit can no longer teach those Christians truth? Jesus said, "without Me ye can do nothing." So how can we even become Christian, let alone live as Christians, without Him in the form of His Spirit? Jesus spoke to...
