No, I mean "oral tradition" that the Roman Catholic Church has made up without any corroborating witness of Scripture and the Spirit. I certainly agree "The Catholic Church doesn't start with Scriptures." My Bible and YOUR Bible don't say that! Was this my question or yours? Sorry, been a...

Many Christians say, "God only requires one to be righteous. His Son". The thought goes that since He is righteous, God does not require me to be righteous. This is a typical response coming from Christendom, today. Does God require men to be righteous? Here many Christians would respond...

Thank you for that presentation, Richard. I am sorry you had to spend so much time on the LAW (assuming it is the Mosaic Law). Regardless though, anything we trust in besides His Voice and His Words to us by His Spirit for our righteousness and right standing with Him, will be of no avail to us...

When, as in what month and year did I receive Jesus as in John 1:12? What is the relevance of your question to this conversation? Axehead

LOL - I don't know why Mungo is associating me with Protestants as I just consider myself a Christian. I am equally hard on the Protestants for nullifying God's Word with their many and varied traditions and man-made doctrines, too. I suppose to the RCC, anyone who PROTESTS ROME's nullifying of...

Now here we have a problem Mungo. Because I have listed 40 items that contradict God's Word. Millions of people see the conflicts so how can you say "it is not surprising there is no conflict". Let me post the verses for you, for my second 20 questions that reveal the conflict. Is Sola Orale...

Tell me Richard, do you believe Obedience to Christ's words (commandments) are the "Works of Men"? I noticed in your 30 words that you conveniently omitted OBEDIENCE. Doesn't ABIDING in JESUS, include OBEDIENCE? Let me help you out: John_15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my...

Amen Ruth! 2Co_1:12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation (behavior) in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. By the grace of God our conversation...

Hi Aspen, Ok, so you are responding to my questions with Sola Scriptura in mind. I understand. But, don't you think Sola Oral is unscriptural, too? So far, after 40 questions it seems that major doctrines and dogma of the RCC are Sola Oral. I assume you are a seeker of truth and I wonder why...

Hi Haz, I was using the phrase that you like to use. What I mean by "perfect behavior" is wholeheartedness. The thief demonstrated "wholeheartedness" towards the Lord. There was no vacillation on his part at all. When Jesus told the rich young man that "If ye would be perfect", He was saying...

That was quite a lot of discussion on my OP of the 1st principle of Righteousness which is SEPARATION (found in Creation) and the 1st principle of Evil which is MIXTURE. Now for the 2nd principles of both Righteousness and Evil. God brought forth everything (that was RIGHT, RIGHTEOUS) on the...

Hi Aspen, You don't really have to view my questions as comparing between Protestant standards. I am trying to get a sense of how much of the RCC's dogma/doctrine comes from ORAL TRADITION or the Magisterium and how much actually comes from the Scriptures (Bible). Should I assume that the...

Richard, I have explained abiding in Christ in many threads. What would really be helpful for myself and I am sure others, would be if you could explain what "abiding in Christ" means to you. Thanks in advance, Axehead

Faith without works is merely LIP SERVICE. It is not real and does not intend to be real. Because there is a cost to REAL FAITH that the FLESH does not want to PAY. The Cross is odious and onerous to the flesh and the flesh can become very religious in order to avoid the Cross. We are...

Imagine you were invited to participate in a race. When the Starter yells, "ready, set, go" and then fires his starter's pistol, everyone begins sprinting, but you just take one step and stop, imagining rather, in your mind that you are racing buy physically you are doing absolutely nothing...

Hey there Joe, 3Jn 1:11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. For one thing, (and there are many more), if God has done evil then He is being hypocritical to tell us not to DO EVIL. James 1:13...

Hi Episkopos, Many say that the book of Hebrews is not for Gentiles, but the entire BIBLE is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in RIGHTEOUSNESS for all those who want to "purify their hearts by obeying the truth" (1 Pet 1:22). 2Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by...

Hi Jiggyfly, At the same time that Jesus was the WORD, He also loved His Father's Word. John 14:24 He that loveth me NOT keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. There is a direct correlation between loving Jesus and keeping His sayings...

Hi Haz, All I can do right now is just leave you to yourself since you just keep "pasting" your same response to me without entering into any meaningful dialogue of the scriptures. Your standard response twists what we say. Axehead

The "Key" is: What pleases God? Mat 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Thank you Aspen. I fail often to acknowledge your encouraging "Amens" (and others). Axehead
