A schism does not necessitate a new denomination. The Orthodox are not Protestants. It was a complicated tragedy and you are posting a rabbit trail.

Because it's history, which is your enemy. You balk at any ECF that disagrees with your preconceptions. “Through envy and jealousy, the greatest and most righteous pillars [of the Church] have been persecuted and put to death. Let us set before our eyes the illustrious apostles. Peter, through...

History is your enemy. That just proves you can't read, or avoid, my signature. You showed me an out of context verse that has nothing to do with Paul, and you are trying use that to justify a 15th century revolt. Jesus isn't talking about that either. Read some commentaries. See the above...

. What the Bible says is to reject those who cause divisions, which is the very essence of the onset of Protestantism: schism, sectarianism, and division. It is Protestantism that departed from the historic Church, which is indefectible and infallible (see also 1 Tim 3:15). The heresies of...

The Jerusalem Council was as Catholic as you can get. It's a model for all councils. There is the Church in Rome, but never a Roman Church. "Roman" to designate all Catholics was first used as an insult by the Anglicans in the 16th century. There is a Roman or Latin rite, but a Roman Church does...

You don't have to be so insulting. Paul talks about running a race in 1 Cor. 9:24-27. Legalism is doing works of the law, which has nothing to do with good works. Scripture alone and faith alone are the worst legalisms IMO. 1 Cor. 9:24-27 – Paul says that all the runners compete, but only one...

Because its a public forum. Maybe Jesus does speak to you directly; how about you ask Him if He loves His mother. That has not, nor ever will, happen. "seem to utterly reject the living Christ" Really? Truth is not always agreeable. You offer no reply to my post (#744), just emotional...

The Jerusalem Council certainly regarded its teachings as infallible, and guided by the Holy Spirit Himself. The Bible repeatedly teaches that the Church is indefectible; therefore, the hypothetical of rejecting the (one true, historic) Church, as supposedly going against the Bible, is...

You wrote: The errors we make most often is that we don't 'Rightly divide the word of Truth' and sadly those who continued the Church, did it in an incorrect way, by mixing it with pagan rituals and festivals, thus diluting the Truth, and sadder still, they are the ones to this day, who keep...

Due to the brain damaging powers of sola scriptura, infallibility is almost impossible to be understood. It is very interesting to note that in I Timothy 3:15 we see, not the Bible, but the Church – that is, the living community of believers founded upon St. Peter and the Apostles and headed by...

The underlined above is an absolute falsehood. Do we tell lies about your system? Is Catholicism Pagan? | Catholic Answers

Many Protestants (especially anti-Catholic ones) hold, by and large, the view that Scripture and sacred, apostolic tradition are somehow unalterably opposed to each other and, for all practical purposes, mutually exclusive. This is yet another example of a false dichotomy which Protestantism...

I'll re-phrase your question. How can a person have their name blotted out from the Book of Life if it wasn't there in the first place?

I've listed supporting scripture, you just don't like them. If you believe heaven can bind errors, it's not me with the false doctrines.

If an office doesn't have successors, it's not an office. It has nothing to do with the one intercessor as you incorrectly put it. 1 Timothy 3:1 The saying is sure: If any one aspires to the office of bishop, he desires a noble task. Acts 1:20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his...

I did not say the sins of the Church is Jesus on earth. Acts 9:4 And he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” 5 And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting; 6 but rise and enter the city, and you will...

My dear, the Church is Jesus on earth.

It's "The Quest" and the author is Mark Joyner. His congregation are those who buy his books. Then you can be your own individual church because the historic church is too rotten. The Bible says that's impossible. Jesus keeps His promises. '

I do not need to justify which stupid questions I dismiss. I notice you are silent so why don't you answer it and stop annoying me. "So God will answer the prayers of the Fred Phelps Baptist who pray to God that He kills all the gay people?"
