Okay, we can leave it at that...not that one set of verses make void another set. But I will leave you with this: Genesis 3:17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’: “Cursed...

Matthew 16:17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. Immediately following this Jesus placed a fork in the path (Matthew 16:18-19) just as Moses had done with Israel, here: Deuteronomy...

Your reaction is not unlike that of the Priests, Elders, and Pharisees of Israel, who were also offended, while the actual Authority who was not among them, but was above them, they rejected with a similar pomp. But you have learned nothing from their failures, but now do likewise.

That is a misunderstanding of the very nature of God. When one comes to Christ and is born [again] of the spirit of God--it is less about them, than it is about God--and God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So, the one who believes salvation is more about them, has not died to self...

This has not been an argument or my perspective, nor even a discussion, but a declaration of the truth for our time.

This is a big one--but not for you alone, even for Protestants and all who have believed the lie bringing upon themselves strong delusion. But do not take it as a personal attack--it is not, it is rather a fact involving much of the church. Indeed, the church for the most part has rejected the...

I understand it fine, but these many times you do not: Matthew 23:5 But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments.

No...it is [biblically] called, a body of "many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ." Romans 12:5 1 Corinthians 12:12 As for division and offenses, yes, it is to be condemned. But that division only falls on those who stand divided in their...

It would appear that you have your own way of defining what the scriptures say--but you have left out parts. Perhaps this is simply the way you were taught...which then would mean it is not just you, but also those who taught you. Which makes this a much bigger issue, perhaps a Catholic issue...

I see I am going to have to take these one at a time. There is no "red herring" or "obfuscation", but rather the analogy of marriage given in scriptures according to man being made in the image of God, a mystery which Paul later revealed after millennia and explained in greater detail; and this...

I am not sure I understand your question. If I have perceived it correctly, God gives us what He requires, which by returning it, we return to Him. But do tell me what you are getting at.

Well, I do, but I wonder if you have not believed it to be just a sort of washed version of the same old earth rather than the new earth. The elements are energy, which is the power of God to speak creation, which is true of the old and also the new, but they are different just as that seed...

The Eucharist practice and what is expressed in Malachi 1:11 is symbolic of the taking up of Christ's body by the church and the ascension of Him in spirit as His church is joined with Him on high. Then comes the end.

None of that is a hierarchy of authority. The only authority given the church is over evil. As for ecclesial authority, all authority belongs to the Head. What you call confusion, God has called order, which is ordered by the Spirit and not by men. As for divisions and denominations, what...

Absolutely. God has allowed Satan to rule the world for a time. There is nothing in this world that does not come under that, except since Christ, in whom we can and do endure the wiles of evil for this short time of the gentiles until the end.

I was only asking to have you perhaps elaborate upon your Original Post as to what you considered that "wrong faith" to be. Sounds as though you were referring to those thousands of other faiths in an appeal to have each examine what they actually believe compared to the one faith that has...

"Compare elements to righteousness?" The elements that I was referring to are the elements of this world that are to be dissolved...which is part of the man of sin being revealed, made manifest by the same elements of this world.

I jumped in, perhaps intruded, on your discussion with Ferris and the comments that have been an issue for the Catholic church, to offer a reason for it occurring--the reason. But don't get me wrong, my intention was not to climb on the bandwagon. I meant only to offer a cause and a solution...

Many look for proof and fined none. Not because it isn't there, but because that is no way to see what is purposely kept from those who are not sincere. You sound sincere. Hang in there--your whole life has been allotted to you for the purpose of coming to know God and the truth. Be patient...
