Why would you assume anything but God's will determines our place in heaven? Peace be with you!

Indeed. It is a synthetic. i.e, man made construct. What could possibly go wrong?? :D:confused:;)

Hello theefaith, I'm not sure about that... Check out Psalm 2 Why do the nations protest and the peoples grumble in vain? Kings on earth rise up and princes plot together against the LORD and his anointed: "Let us break their shackles and cast off their chains!" Peace be with you!

Hello Brakelight, It was Jesus Himself who took the 'baton' from those who sat in Moses seat and gave it to the apostles (and their successors!). Who was it that took it from the bishops and gave it to others? To whom was it given? What evidence do you offer that such a change occurred? It is...

Well of course! The doctrine of papal infallibility only applies when the pope is excercising his official teaching office 'ex cathedra'... that's it... The infallibilty of the bishops as a whole while excercising their ordinary majesterium also is this way, seeen primarily expressed in synods...

Papal infallibilty applies when the Bishop of Rome, in his official teaching capacity, solemney declares 'ex cathedra' to the whole world on some issue pertaining to faith and morals.. It has been used explicitly one time since Vatican I. There is some debate whether it applies to magesterial...

Hello WaterSong, while I may not think that the intent of the Pope's remarks in any way approve of homosexual activity, and that media and others who suggest that, are reading into his statement, regardless I can assure you that: while there may indeed be some debate over just what is an 'ex...

This is My Body, take and eat

Hello Renniks, I hope you don't mind if I but in here ;) The assurance of salvation is abiding in Him! We certainly have that if we are abiding in His grace! Examination of concience and repenting of those things the Spirit convicts us of is crucial in cooperating with Him and growing into...

Thus should one regard us: as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. What you are missing, is that He leads us together into all Truth and that apart from the Church you will fall into all kinds of error... Your hubris is astounding... you set yourself up as judge of your...

And now you would charge Ignatius as a Nicolation? With no evidence? Were Ignatius such, he would hardly have been commended by Polycarp. Neither would he have been held up as a hero of the Faith, which he is.. martyred by lions in the Collesium. If you are not in communion with Ignatius and...

Dear David, Again, that is pure speculation with no evidence to substantiate it. On the contrary, I offered teaching from the Bishop of Antioch (circa 100 AD) that demonstrated the role of the bishop in the Church. Here is some more from Ignatius: Wheresoever the bishop shall appear, there...

What about it? Peace!

There hasn't been a community of 'Nicolaitans' in almost 2000 years. They have long since been lost in the dustbin of history... I find it curious, that you can acknowledge the Church in Smyrna yet refuse to allow yourself to be corrected by Antioch whom Smyrna commends... Indeed HE does...

It won't, neither can it... the Truth doesn't change... 2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different...

Dear Brakelight, well here it is again: Abstain from noxious herbs, which are not the husbandry of Jesus Christ, because they are not the planting of the Father. Not that I have found division among you, but filtering. For as many as are of God and of Jesus Christ, they are with the bishop...

Hello David, Does the Truth change? If the Spirit taught our brothers something in 50 AD, 100 Ad...200 AD... can it then be untrue today? Here again is Ignatius: Abstain from noxious herbs, which are not the husbandry of Jesus Christ, because they are not the planting of the Father. Not that...

You think the papacy is an economic and military superpower? I heard those Swiss guard were good but...:confused: Antioch, I've already quoted. The Church in Pela, I am unfamiliar with, do you have something from them to share? Peace!
