Orthodox Church in America Question As a Greek Orthodox may I receive the sacrament of Holy Communion in a Catholic Church. Do you know the rules regarding Greek Orthodox and Catholic relations? I live in an area where the closest church is a Roman Catholic Church. Does the Catholic Church...

You missed the point of this topic and Sola Scriptura. The goal was NEVER to convince you that any MAN was the CORRECT ‘magisterium’ or any MAN had the correct ‘tradition’. The point of Sola Scriptura is that the WORD OF GOD is the only infallible source that we possess, therefore all...

Did Jim Jones correctly divide the word of God? If so, then he is an example of Sola Scriptura and if not, then he is not an example of Sola Scriptura. Did Jim Jones place the traditions of man (himself) above what Jesus and the Apostles taught in scripture? If so, then he is a perfect example...

Ummm … Luther BEGGED the church to reform its evil practices. The Pope and Cardinals invited him to a meeting to present his grievances (and promptly attempted to assassinate him). I am a Baptist … you DROWNED those before me that attempted to point out what scripture said to you. To accuse...

Why do your “(Tradition)” and “(Magisterium)” contradict “Scriptures”? Sola Scriptura means that “Scriptures” are the only “final authority” because men are continually corrupting “(Tradition)” and “(Magisterium)”, but the Word of God is preserved for us as an unchanging yardstick. A living...

Bronze was used in the Temple for the offering - the punishment for sin. The Serpent represents Satan and Sin. A Bronze Serpent, therefore, is Sin already judged and punished. Hanging the Sin (the accuser) already judged and punished, upon a “tree” is a perfect picture of the work of Christ...

In response to your Catholic Fathers offering salvation for sale as indulgences to fund the political corruption that allowed wealthy families to BUY their titles as Cardinals and Popes. (If you REALLY want to discuss the reason for the Protestant Reformation). However, I am a Particular...

*cough* Prayers to the dead. *cough* *cough* Queen of Heaven. *cough* *cough* Purgatory. *cough* No, not a SINGLE … more like a PLETHORA.

RIGHT. 2 Timothy 3:14-17 [NASB95] 14 You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned [them,] 15 and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through...

This is one of those dangerous teachings of men that neither Jesus nor His Apostles ever made. Jesus gave specific authority to HIS APOSTLES (that is what makes them “apostles” or “ones sent”), but Jesus never told them to pass on that authority. The apostles are not God, they cannot assign...

So you are saying that there is nothing standing in the way of restoring a Biblical Monarchy? :)

I never claimed otherwise. They wrote “everything necessary” (the Bible does say that). True, but irrelevant. Are you a “Gnostic” claiming to have some secret knowledge from Christ handed down to you by word of mouth or some secret writings? The Apostles warned about such false teachers...

Sorry, I didn’t read the whole thread. I just felt in the mood for a silly comment. Since that one was already taken, try this: “Have you Brits considered repealing the Magna Carta and restoring the divine right Monarchy? Then you will not have these PM issues.” ;)

Incorrect, Sola Scriptura affirms the divine tradition: Christ taught the Apostles who wrote the sacred scripture, not the men that came hundreds and thousands of years later claiming to have new teachings from Christ. Incorrect, Sola Scriptura affirms the power of the Holy Spirit: He guided...

When were the borders closed? When the Romans invaded? When the Norse invaded? When the Normans invaded? When the sun never set on the British Empire and people from all of the colonies “invaded”? ;)

“He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.” According to Revelation 3:21 (referenced by Tigger and quoted above), there will be other people (all who overcome) seated in that same throne … does that...

This is the “money verse” in that conversation. The Sadducees wanted to trick Jesus. The people wanted to talk about some future ‘resurrection’. Jesus chose to reveal something far more important about RIGHT NOW … The great I AM is the God of the living: Abraham IS alive (present tense). Isaac...

Sounds like somebody got themselves eradicated by the Moderators.

For God’s children, this story has a happy ending.

Where did the Bible or tradition tell you to reject the teaching of God for the apostate teaching of corrupt popes that sold entrance to heaven to fund the bribes that bought their positions? Even the Catholics revolted at the abuses and reformed the worst of the apostasy. The “Protestant...
