The Apostles themselves had a special calling, they were eyewitnesses of the Glory of Christ, a living testimony of the truth. We who believe gain this confirmation and assurance from the Holy Ghost who reveals all things to us.... That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may...

Yes, the elders of the church are called to be teachers, and to feed the flock, but they are not a Special class of people but brethren. You love toquote the passage in 1 John 2 about them being among us, well this follows that.... But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all...

Another good question, again, the meat of the Word of God. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the...

Good Question. We are the temple, We are the Alter, and the ark of the covenant upon which the Blood of Christ is sprinkled upon.... Now you are getting into the meat of the Word of God. (2 Corinthians 6:16, Hebrews 9)

More Nicolaitan judgment and castigating from you, You do not even see this in your comments, do you? The Holy Spirit is my teacher, and Christ Jesus is my all in all. I Have not once accused Catholics here of not being believers, but referred to them as brothers in Christ. Your relationship...

That is correct, all the elders are "low priests". In the true church there is never a shortage of elders and priests, as they are continually growing into maturity, and stepping into those roles. The fact that the RCC has this shortage is an indication there is a Problem there. At the very...

I am saying there is one true church but it is not contained in one human institution, the RCC or any other denomination. You are promoting a religion of men, not the one true church. This is the Lie the Nicolaitans have placed in your doctrines that keep the leadership unaccountable and laity...

Correct. that is the word for Elder in the Greek. We have one High priest, Christ Jesus, all of us become a royal priesthood by the Sanctification of the Holy Ghost. We all have the authority to expose the corruption in the church and hold one another accountable as brethren, and to reform what...

Jude 1:3-4 is one example of many in the New testament where leadership was corrupted, as is 1 Corinthians 5, when reform was called for. To think that Satan is not trying to infiltrate the leadership of the church is to be Naive of the seductions and temptations of the devil. All you have to do...

Is that a question? The answer is yes if it is a question. What defines an elder? Maturity in Christ Jesus. The ability to digest the meat of the Word, Ones who are consumed with Christ and the cross and not worried about man worship.

Yup, It was you, see comment #668, just pointing out your own hypocrisy. It is obvious that you do not understand the Words of Christ regarding the Spirit of Truth. John 16:13-15, He continues to reveal these things to the church as time goes by, John 21:25. To say the whole truth is contained...

That is to your detriment then, ignorance is bliss. He was trying to reform the church, not to break from it, the result was he was excommunicated by those corrupt leaders in the hierarchy of the church that declared him a heretic, thus the hypocrisy continued and thrived in the RCC.

Elders do. Read again 1 Peter 5:1-7. We are all called to become elders by learning to digest the meat of the word (Hebrews 5:12-14) As New Born babes, a believer needs the milk of the Word, 1 Peter 2:2, They are then built up as an holy priesthood as they mature and grow in grace, 1 Peter...

Protestantism was birthed from the corruption of the Catholic church, a reaction to the Idolatry and system of indulgences etc. Have you ever read the writing of Luther? The_Ninety-Five_Theses.pdf (reverendluther.org)

Wasn't it you that was complaining about using Grammarly? "ake, Perversionas, Confision"... alas but I digress....;) To those who are living in delusion and self deception the Truth is "wacky". For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is...

In the beginning of the church, this was the case as Only the 120 had the Holy Ghost fall upon them. they are the foundation, but this did not limit who could preach to select few. To the contrary those who the Holy Ghost came upon became leaders of house churches themselves and became Ministers...

Perfect display of the Nicolaitan mindset here. "let the church leaders teach you, you are not worthy to learn from the Holy Spirit yourself" Or "Divine revelation is only for the priestly class".... I have heard it all from all sides, whether Protestant or Catholic and every cult in the world...

Since your anger is growing as is evident in this comment, and the fact that you cannot and fail to address the points being made from the scriptures I site, I will no longer comment with you. As another poster said you merely dance around the topic and cast aspersions against the person...

The Process of filling is a continual process both in the church and in the believer, This is simple common sense, We all know in part as Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13. To claim to have all truth, whether in one church or one individual believer is the hubris of the carnal mind and the very...

A valid question which hopefully I can answer. The Fact that Jesus Prays for this oneness shows that he Knows the nature of man is to be splintered and divided. God Uses this to his advantage, and it is all part of His plan. Had One man been given all the truth at once they would use that...
