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

    WRONG. In Luke 10 – Jesus sent out the SEVENTY-TWO disciples – not the Apostles. They were to be the future leaders of the Church. History tells us that they were Bishops and Priests of the Church. Among them were the evangelists Mark and Luke, Ananias of Jericho, who baptized Paul, James...

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

    Well, you ARE confused because Jesus NEVER said that the Bible was the "only" source of Truth. God's Word is alive in His Church . . . Luke 10:16 Whoever listens to YOU listens to ME. Whoever rejects YOU rejects ME. And whoever rejects ME rejects the ONE who sent ME."

    That's NOT what I said at all. No wonder you're so confused . . .

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

    No - just solid historical evidence . . . Yes, a person who is invicubly ignorant or not fully aware CAN be saved (Matt. 25:14-15, Luke 12:48, John 9:41) - but it doesn't mean he WILL be. This does NOT apply, however, to those who openly reject the truth . . .

    And too bad for YOU for having th audacity to judge a person's soul. Only GOD has that power. Good luck with that . . . You had to deny history to come to that conclusion. I provided documentation - YOU provided nothing but denial . . .

    Oh, they certainly taught about the Catholic Church, its doctrines and beliefs . . . Ignatius of Antioch Follow your bishop, every one of you, as obediently as Jesus Christ followed the Father. Obey your clergy too as you would the apostles; give your deacons the same reverence that you would...

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

    You can deny history all you want. However, you can't erase the documents written by the Apostolic Fathers such as Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch and Polycap of Smyrna, ALL of whon were disciples of the Apostles. And this has absolutely nothing to do with that fact that the Cathoic...

    You can TRY to argue that point ALL day long - but history is not on your side . . .

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

    The Bible is certainly PART of the God's Word - along wirh what He has revealed to His Church. Remember - the Bible came out of the Church - not the other way around . . . Luke 10:16 Whoever listens to YOU listens to ME. Whoever rejects YOU rejects ME. And whoever rejects ME rejects the ONE who...

    Yes - although I would refer to them as "scribes". God is the Author of Scriptue . . .

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

    The Holy Spirit inspired certain mem to write down His Word. He led His Church - to whom Hr gave supreme earthly Authority (Matt. 16:18, 18:15-15, Luke 10:16, John 16:12-15, John 20:21-23) to select which writings were inspired. This happened in the 4th century. The Synod of Rome (382) is...

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

    HUHH?? Irenaeus isn’t saying that the WHOLE Church was founded in Rome. He is talking about the Church AT Rome and how it was established by Peter and Paul. By the way – Peter was also in Antioch before he went top Rome . . . Soooo – if I have a German shepherd – I MUST be a follower of Hitler...

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

    Why? Because YOU keep bringing it up . . . Paul was evangelizing the Corinthians. Clement was not. He ruled over them from Rome. This is the most ridiculous argument you’re devised yet. The word, “Pope” simply means “Papa” – Father. It is a term of endearment – NOT a title, which developed...

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

    And YOU can continue to live in denial. But, as I have amply shown – History proved you wrong . . . WRONG. As I already pointed to Pope Clement I (80 AD) in His Letter to the Corinthians - he was RULING on matters in the Church at Corinth from his Papal See in Rome. - I also educated you...

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

    The Martyrs were Catholics. On the way to his martyrdom - Apostolic Father, Ignatius of Antioch wrote about the Eucharist, the Real Presence, obedience to the “Catholic Church”, the primacy of the Bishop of Rome, etc. Virtually EVERY Pope ini the first 400 years was martyred for the faith. He...

    I already torpedoed this "Dagon-worship" nonsense as it pertains to the miter. People who perpetuate this garbage are ignorant of Christian history. Why don't you Google "Ichthus" and learn something about your Christian roots . . . Time for a HISTORY Lesson . . . - In the Epistle of Clement...

    Wow - TWO empty responses, yet not a single acknowledgement that YOUR Bible was compiled declared and preserved by the Catholic Church That's GOTTA hurt . . .

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

    WRONG. YOU’RE the one who dishonestly attributed the Pope’s mitre to “Dagon-worship” – and now you’re back-pedaling . . . On the contrary – it was the Church who evangelized the world, toppling the Roman Empire in the process while virtually wiping out paganism. First of all – ANY institution...

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

    No – it was the Catholic Church which is headquartered in Rome that was led by the Holy Spirit to compile and declare the Canon. Time for a History Lesson . . . The Synod of Rome (382) is where the canon was first formally identified – ALL 73 (not 66) Books. - 11 years after that, it was...
