yup.

that's antithetical to the account, and disingenuous to your previous post. you said they related the news/common-knowledge of the man called Jesus and ((to them)) the rumors of His miracle working. you equated that to "ex cathedra" conceptually. now you have completely changed your definition...

i don't think you understand what the reformation is. the arbiter of truth isn't someone in a protestant church or a catholic church. it's a person, Who is The Truth. He wrote all the scripture, and all the scripture is about Him.

is the pope infallible?

Speaking as an eye witness to certain events or relating well-known news is not the same as 'ex cathedra' Why do you wish to denigrate the authority of scripture? You accept abrogation? If your pope gives you bad theology, reject him. It's that simple.

I can't find "Illuminator is the source of truth" in the Bible, hmm...

What you wrote here is the direct opposite of what the scripture says. It is written that they daily searched the scripture to see if what he was saying to them was true. This behavior is called "more noble" Therefore I do not believe you just because you are 'that famous guy on some forum'...

Luke 24:25-26 Then He said to them, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?"

because you had repeated what i said too. sounded like it bears repeating: the Jews of Berea were more noble: they tested what the apostles said, daily searching the scripture to see if it was true. they did not simply take human authority as ex-cathedra. presumably if bishop Silas had said...

When it says they daily searched the scripture to see if what they were hearing was true, it means they searched the OT to see if the gospel that Paul et al was preaching to them is true. The gospel is what they heard. From Paul. The Tanakh is what they searched, to see if what the apostles...

Who said anything about unrighteousness? Baptism is a rite, circumcision is a rite. The law is spiritual and the words of Christ are spiritual. Mystical simply means allegorically spiritual: why do you imagine the scripture tells us that the circumcision by human hands is ineffective but the...

what are the ceremonies in the law? the sacrifices, the sabbaths, the feasts, the observances, the tzitzit? are they not commandments? yet is the law not spiritual? does it not testify of Christ? why did they paint the doorway with hyssop dipped in blood on Pascha? could God not see their...

i got this message because in this thread there is preaching of a mystical ritual, instead of preaching Christ. when an evangelist comes, why is the gospel preached instead of just standing at the door with a garden hose? why is it a message - not a rite - that Cornelius was told by the angel...

Some guy here suggested that the majority of our rituals weren't mystical enough.

All the more reason to take to heart what God had done here - and just one of many emphatic key indicators in this event that salvation is from God, by grace, not through mystical ritualism, even when those rituals are carried out in obedience. The blood of bulls and goats never took away sin...

Your exclusionary interpretation is incompatible with Peter's in Acts 11. Sorry; that doesn't save your case.

btw @Truth7t7 hi. didn't realize you were here =]

ok but.. did not one stone of His body remain atop one another? was He thrown down? He did not see corruption. no one takes His life from Him; He lays it down.

there is something quite salient you are ignoring here. And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, ‘Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter, who will tell you words by which you and all your household will be saved.’ And as I began to...

Being filled with the Holy Ghost in power, speaking in tongues and prophesying, is not the same as having Him dwelling in you. Salvation is by grace through faith. Whoever believes will be saved.
