Also interesting is that besides a brief mention in the Book of Acts, Mary is no more mentioned in all the NT. You would think of all the importance Rome puts on Mary, she'd be mentioned at least once in each Epistle.

So you belong to the Roman Catholic Church. Why is that a truer church over the Eastern Orthodox?

And I have asked you before, which Church? Rome? Eastern/Greek Orthodox? which? and on what basis?

I guess you haven't read through the thread. i'm contending that when tradition and magisterium are at odds, scripture trumps them all. IOW, i'm not for discarding the others but they must bow to the authority of Scripture

What is your final authority here on earth?

And you just proved my point by resorting to Scripture 5 times in just one post. LOL. You are such a walking contradiction it's hard to have a coherent conversation with you.

Those like me who gladly hold to Sola Scriptura also hold that The Holy Spirit works through His Word in His dealing with men. His Word came to the Jewish Prophets and Jewish Apostles for salvation is of the Jews (John 4:22). You can add your Traditions, extra biblical doctrine etc., and be...

No, I am not Eastern or Russian Orthodox. But I know ever since their Great Schism back in 1054, both Rome and the East have claimed to be the One True Church. Maybe, when they figure that one out, I'll take another look. Until then, I'll see Churches as the gathering of believers where... Then...

This is telling from a group-think mindset that has a class distinction between clergy and laity. already we are told "You blue collar workers, don't bother reading your bibles because you haven't the biblical scholarship to discern the times of Christ's first (or second) coming. We will do it...

I wasn't even addressing you, but true to form you won't miss an opportunity to get your RCC propaganda disseminated. Do you think if Jesus hadn't matched the Scriptures in the OT, concerning Him, the Apostles would have believed in Him?

You twisted my words to mean their opposite. Where did I say Gentiles become Jews or Jews become Gentiles? I was making a case for Jewish identity of Jews. Is that how you also twist Scripture? The verse you are misapplying refers to our identity in Christ as His Body...'there is...

Excuse me but the faith of Abraham was the same faith of the Apostles which should also be our faith. You mean by the time the NT was confirmed. A Jew doesn't stop being a Jew when he believes in his long awaited promised Messiah. If anything, he becomes a 'completed Jew' going from a...

Oh please. The early Church Fathers were all over the map,,,besides, in my book, they were not early enough and had their uninspired opinions. I'll stick with the 'earlier Fathers' like Moses, David, Jeremiah, Matthew, John, Paul, James etc.`.. at least their writings were inspired by the Holy...

They were called Christians by name but the most were Jews by nationality, and all the Apostles including Jesus were Jews by birth. Definitely not Roman Catholics LOL. Umm, the Bereans when confronted by those who should have known (i.e. the Apostles) still checked the Old Testament to see if...

Newsflash: All the Apostles were Jews. BTW, Jesus was a Jew. Neither did the 'Roman' Catholic (an oxymoron) Church exist until that mixture. Maybe you are confusing the Early Church, which was catholic (universal) with the later Roman one which was not. You can start with 'sacerdotalism' and...

I see you drank Rome's Kool Aid lie. The Jews wrote the Bible, not Rome. Rome has only given us a mixing of Church and State and a mixing of Christianity and paganism. They are today's Baal, follow them if you choose.

I never denied we don't have a problem, I said "At least we admit the problem..." Hatred? Read the history and you will see the hatred. Right now the RCC is in 'ecumenical' mode, swooning all groups together under the 'love and tolerance' umbrella at the expense of Truth.

At least we admit the problem without paying hush money to the victims or pretend we are the One True Church. By Jesus stating it is written' both to satan and His human detractors it shows that God's Word stands supreme in spiritual matters. Psalm 138:2 (KJV) I will worship toward thy holy...

Funny how you cried when the OP jabbed at the RCC but then you turn around and this??? And then you expect us to goose step into our nearest pedophilia ladened RCC. Yes, your so called 'Mother Church is not so squeaky clean either. Admit it. Nope. Jesus had already set the example by His time...

Sure, but it encompasses that which God has chosen to reveal to mankind. Sole authority are your words, not mine. I would say Scripture is the Ultimate Authority in Ecclesiastical/Soteriological/Eschatological etc. matters. So if there is a contention, the Scriptures are the authority to look...
