    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    This is the problem with Sola Scriptura. IF everything we believe MUST come from Scripture – then YOU are a heretic for believing in Sola Scriptura because it is NOT taught. As I educated you earlier – the Holy Spirit is GOD – and the Scriptures affirm this (John 14:16-18, Acts 5:3-4) . Show me...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    That's a silly argument . . . Soooo, every U.S. President is “illegitimate” because he may NOT have seen eye-to-eye with a predecessor? Is that a limitation that YOU have placed on legitimate succession?? Apostolic Succession is just what it says: Apostolic SUCCESSION. One who SUCCEEDS a...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    Absolutely - for those of you who have NO faith. However, when you trust Jesus and believe His promise that His Church would not succumb to darkness - then Apostolic Succession is very easy to understand.

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    I know you’re just being silly because asking animals to intercede for is found nowhere in Scripture. Intercession from fellow members of the Body of Christ IS (1 Tim. 2:1-3, Col. 1:24, Rev. 5:8). Oh, and Apostolic Succession isn't passed through family lineage - but through succession of...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    First of all – Jesus never instructed us to pray to the Father “Alone”. He taught us HOW to pray to Him. Rp “PRAY” simply means to “ASK”” Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary: Full Definition of pray transitive verb 1: entreat, implore —often used as a function word in introducing a...

    The Bible is Father-Centric not Christo-Centric

    RELICS: In Acts 19:11-12, we see miracles being performed through Paul in Ephsus. We see healings and spirits being expelled using Paul’s aprons and handkerchiefs. In 2 Kg 13:20-21, we read about a dean man being brought back to life by coming in contact with the bones of Ellisha. INRECESSION...

    The Bible is Father-Centric not Christo-Centric

    I didn’t “omit” anything. I simply said: “Deal with the ones I DID give you - THEN, I'll explain the rest.” In post #218 - YOU had responded to my post #213, where I gave a Bible Lesson on the fact that Paul was a Catholic. You have YET to challenge my Biblical evidence . . .

    The Bible is Father-Centric not Christo-Centric

    Since you are hesitant to address my overwhelming Biblical proof – please explain just the following few examples: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are GOD. Rev. 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” Rev. 22:13 – (Jesus...

    I'll take that as a forfeit . . .

    The Bible is Father-Centric not Christo-Centric

    I beg to differ . . . In 1 Cor. 11:27-30 – Paul talks about those who profane the sacrament – and the consequences of “eating and drinking JUDGEMENT on themselves.” Why would he level such a harsh warning on something that is NOT sacred? In John 6, when Jesus first mentioned the practice of...

    Then, EXPLAIN them. I'm not going anywhere . . .

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    In the Old Testament, there were three levels of Priests: - The High Priest (Lev. 16, Haggai 1:12-14 S). - The Levitical/Ministerial Priesthood (Lev. 16). - The rest of the people were a General priesthood of believers (Exod. 19:6). In the New Testament, there are also three levels of Priests...

    The Bible is Father-Centric not Christo-Centric

    God is a Trinity . . . The Trinity, as Shown in Scripture Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let US make mankind in OUR image, in OUR likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move...

    The Bible is Father-Centric not Christo-Centric

    And MANY of them are self-separated from the Church. The Church is NOT each individual. It is the BODY of Christ (Cil 1:18). The Church is the SUM of its PARTS (1 Cor. 12). Time for another Bible Lesson . . . Acts 9:31 talks about how the Early Church grew throughout the region. The language...

    The Bible is Father-Centric not Christo-Centric

    And I’ve already shown you documented proof that the Catholic Church was the Apostolic church in the FIRST century. To read this evidence then simply pretend it doesn’t exist as YOU do is to live in a pathetic state of denial. You can regurgitate your “Marycult” nonsense until the cows come...

    The Bible is Father-Centric not Christo-Centric

    To make this claim to show your ignorance of ALL things Catholic . . . Paul wasn’t a “Lone wolf” preacher who made up his own rules. He sought the counsel of the other Apostles. Are you forgetting the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15), where he and Barnabas went to Jerusalem to discuss the matter...

    The Bible is Father-Centric not Christo-Centric

    Of course Jesus isn't a Catholic. He isn't a Christian at all, Einstein - He's GOD. Paul, however, was as Catholic as all of the other first century Christians . . . The Church established by Jesus and built by the Apostles is the Catholic Church. That Church - which YOU foolishly refer to...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    That’s because history is on MY side. It’s definitely NOT on yours .. . . NONSENSE. The Dagon headdress looked NOTHING like the Bishop's mitre. It was more of a helmet: So much for your "comparison ". . . According to YOU – but not according to history . . . It shows historical consensus...
