When the Judaizers in Antioch were confusing the Gentile believers, Paul and Silas went to Jerusalem to seek counsel from the Apostles. After much discussion about what was required of the Gentile believers, the Apostles penned a letter, which stated the following: “It seemed good to the Holy...

No, I don't agree. First of all – 2 Thess. 2:15 doesn’t mention “Scripture”. Paul states explicitly: 2 Thess. 2:15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by US, either by our spoken word or by OUR letter. “OUR” letter, which indicates that THEY wrote it...

WHO said anything about the Sabbath being “cancelled”?? Is circumcision cancelled?? NO – it’s just not done the same way. Is Passover cancelled?? NO – it is fulfilled in the Eucharist. We still observe the Sabbath – only we observe it on the Lord’s Day because it pointed to Him in the first...

The Sabbath was OVER at sunset on Saturday, so the FIRST day of the week, Sunday had begun. Nice try . . . WRONG. My Church doesn’t disagree with me. You posted the opinion of a single person – not the consensus of the Magisterium. Besides – the above opinion is an indictment of Protestantism...

WRONG. It is based on Scripture (Acts 20:7, 1 Cor. 16:2) and Tradition. As I have shown you ad nauseam – Pail tells us that we are no longer bound by the letter of the Law, as it was fulfilled in Christ. Col. 2:16-17 Therefore do not let ANYONE judge you by what you eat or drink, or with...

Paul is talking about Sacred Oral Tradition. He said the same thing to the Corinthians: 1 Cor. 11:2 “I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you” Whatever he taught them with regard to faith and morals that he didn’t...

NO – you don’t. You CLAIM to accept it – yet you repeatedly question and reject it. Your consistent protest has been, “We don’t know what Paul said verbally because we weren’t there!” Sacred Oral Tradition is the Word of God transmitted through the Church. And YOU treat it as nothing more than...

Ummmmm, YOU referenced the OT (1, 2 Sam. Chron.) on your post about how NOT every word of Scripture is breathed out by God. Care to edit that claim?

You certainly are . . . I have already shown you where Paul explains this in his Epistle to the Colossians: Col. M2:16-17 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come...

HUH?? Do you even have the smallest grasp of what “Oral Tradition” is?? It doesn’t depend on whether YOU were there or not. As we see in the Bible - Oral Tradition has been utilized by God’s people from the OT: Matt. 2:23 - the prophecy "He shall be a Nazarene" is ORAL TRADITION. It is not...

2 Tim. 3:16–17 ALL Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. Either ALL Scripture is God-breathed (Theopneustos) or it is NOT - YOUR lack of faith...

Nah – it was from Jesus Christ . . . Matt 16:19, Matt. 18: 18 WHATEVER YOU BIND on earth shall be bound in heaven; and WHATEVER YOU LOOSE on earth shall be loosed in heaven." John 16:12-15 “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he...

Either way, it is NOT the Law. Sone is just what the Law was written on. Jesus is the fulfilment of the Law (Matt. 5:17). Nobody “changed” God’s Commandment. Jesus FULFILLED it (Col. 2:16-17). And He gave His Church supreme earthly Authority to speak on His behalf . . . Matt 16:19, Matt. 18...

God gives us the ability to persevere in faith. What He doesn’t do is “force” us to persevere. He gives us the grace to believe He gives us the grace to love and serve our neighbor. God gives – He doesn’t coerce . . . Then, you can say that Arminius’s beliefs were closer to what the Catholic...

That’s only if you believe in the falsehood that we are all either predestined for Heaven or Hell. As I stated before – God doesn’t frag anybody kicking and screaming into Heven – nor does He send anybody kicking and screaming into Hell. We either cooperate with His grace or we reject it (Rom...

WRONG. Paul explicitly equivocates Oral Tradition with Scripture (2 Thess. 2:15). He doesn’t simply “allude” to it. Rejecting this fact doesn’t nullify it . . .

Yup. Why do YOU have a problem with that??

The context of Rom. 9:18 is election – not unconditional election. God cannot make mistakes, so free will is a direct contradiction to unconditional election. In 2 Pet. 3:9, we see that “… God does not wish for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.” This is directly correlated to...

It shouldn’t be included as proof text because it destroys your position?? Again – you only reject 2 Thess. 2:15 as proof of Sacred Tradition because it DESTROYS your position. Paul says plainly: “… EITHER by and oral statement OR a written letter of ours.” It doesn’t get ANY more explicit...

The HOLY SPIRIT is the author of Scripture. Paul, Peter, James and John were just the men who were inspired by the Holy Spirit to write it down. The fact that YOU believe that the Holy Spirit inspired them to relay different “truth” them to r “changed” His mind speaks volumes about your lack of...
