1. Church leaders wearing vestments is not against anything written in Scripture that I know of. If you believe that God doesn't approve of it please quote a passage from Scripture that says that instead of telling me what YOU believe. 2. Just because they were vestments' doesn't nullify...

Do you ever have doubts Jane?

Really???? Soooooo in the 1600 years BEFORE the bible was mass produced for the average person to have in their home all of a sudden "people that they saw how far the church had strayed from the teachings of the Christ". EVEN THOUGH they went to Church every Sunday and heard Scripture read to...

Hi Jane, Show me one verse in Scripture that says every Christian has religious freedom and I will become Protestant again... Religious freedom = I can properly interpret Scripture on my own and decide what the truth is

Really??? Only the priest were allowed to access Gods word and anyone who possessed or read a bible was put to death? Fascinating....From whom did you learn that bit of false Christian history? Hmmmmm..Sooooo Luther knew what wasn't Scriptural? Even though other Protestant men disagreed with...

Hmmmm....You said Some people are Content to be TOLD “WHAT” to “BELIEVE”, without ever discovering “WHY”......Clearly you don't allow yourself to be told WHAT TO BELIEVE soooooo that means you tell yourself what to believe. Soooooo I'm not speaking for you. I am only summarizing what you have...

What is an "AOK"?

Oh....I didn't know that. Thank you.

Well, we agree. Doing good works does not indicate that one is a Christian or have faith in God. And we agree that one does not become a Christian (born again) unless they have faith. But what does Scripture say about faith and works Bob? It says faith without works is dead. So if you don't have...

I never suggested the Holy Spirit doesn't speak to all of us separately. We are talking about the right of each individual to properly interpret the bible into the truth. How do we come to a teaching that will bring us together as one with one teaching and one voice? You know...Just like...

Well wrangler....Neither of those passages say anything about religious freedom. Casting out demons in the name of Jesus is not the same as religious freedom to practice/believe what YOU think Scripture says/means. You have chosen to ignore the passages that speak about following your elders...

And you tell yourself what to believe. I rely on The Church, which is the pillar and foundation of TRUTH. You believe YOU are the pillar and foundation of truth.....;)

So if a person is doing good works that indicates they have been born again? The works indicate that they have faith in Christ?

Show me in Scripture where it says that you have religious freedom and I will become a Protestant again.... Based on the context of my post I presume you mean religious freedom = I can read the bible in my basement and be just as right in my interpretation as any other man. If my presumption...

Ummmmm.....you didn't address my statement. I am asking you if the Holy Spirit stopped guiding Luther into the truth AFTER the Spirit revealed to him that The Church was falsely teaching the entire faith/works thing...... but I digress.

Sooooo help me understand better. You say you lived it! Does that mean that you taught yourself via living it this theory that the Spirit has been refreshing Christianity many times over the last 500 years? I guess it would help me to understand what you mean by "refreshing"?

Well Bob....According to YOU it "is contrary to the teaching of the Bible". So that makes we wonder. Did YOU decide it was contrary to the teaching of the Bible OR did another man teach you that it is contrary to the teaching of the Bible? Curious Mary

I would like to point out YOU for starting this thread. It is not hokey and it is a brilliant idea. We have the opportunity to give each other compliments instead of poking each other in the eye....:rolleyes: Respectfully, Mary

Sooooo still kind of a cryptic answer and I don't know what you are saying......but I digress. The best I can tell is that you don't interpret Scripture on your own.....

Wow...that is a fascinating theory. Who taught you that?
