    The Roman Catholic Church Infallibility Thread

    Infallibility of the Pope Papal infallibility is a Catholic dogma that asserts the Pope, when speaking ex cathedra (from the chair) on matters of faith and morals, is preserved from error by the Holy Spirit. This doctrine, formally defined at the First Vatican Council in 1870, doesn't mean the...

    Mary as New Eve

    2nd century AD. I don't mind if you mock, but I'd also like a substantive response, which I notice you did not (could not?) provide.

    The Roman Catholic Church Infallibility Thread

    The Roman Catholic Church says it cannot err in teaching, among other things, dogma.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    I'm your brother, and I am glad it's sorted out. Please do pray for me, so that, by God's grace, He will be glorified in every aspect of my life.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Yeah, and Paul identifies the Jews he preaches to, and who believe, as "the remnant of Israel" (Ro 11). LOL Well, it was fun while it lasted, but you're done.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    OK I just wanted to make sure you weren't objecting to the idea that they preached the same Gospel as a means of trying to preserve Israel--again, I don't really know what is motivating your insistence that they preached different Gospels.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Both Peter (Acts 2:21) and Paul (Romans 10:13) preached salvation through calling on the Name of the LORD, citing literally the same verse of Scripture. Peter preached Christ's death and resurrection, as well--and "the blood" was preached when Peter references his crowd's having crucified God's Son.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Peter didn't just preach Jesus was God's Son : Peter preached that Jesus was a miracle-worker, and was the Messiah they had been waiting for, but that they had crucified Him, but that God had raised Christ from the dead, and sat Him at God's right hand, and that they can be forgiven of their...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    The two are one and the same doctrine : "come together, it's not a sin anymore, Peter"; "there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile...". Again, Paul rebuked Peter for not walking in accordance with THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL in Galatians 2... so, WHICH Gospel was Paul bringing Peter in line...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    So, would you deny that the ones who you say are "in Christ", but not "Christ's body", share in Christ's death and resurrection?

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    How could Paul not be part of the "remnant of Israel"? Do you know what "remnant of Israel" means? It refers to the small part of Israel that is saved and not lost. Paul refers to this in Romans 11--just as in the days of Elijah, God preserved for Himself 7000 who had not bowed the knee to Baal...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    So, if the remnant of Israel is "in Christ", why are they not "the body of Christ"? What do you think it means to be "in Christ"? They are mystically unified with the body of Christ, partaking in both His death and resurrection. In what sense do they partake? Well, in the sense that the Jewish...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Well, if Peter was abiding in Christ, how is Peter not considered to be in the body of Christ? LOL!

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Oops : the REASON God has not cast off His people is because He has preserved a remnant. Why did you leave that part out? Notice also He says "His people He foreknew" : those He foreknew He predestined, and called and justified. The unbelieving Jews are not called or justified, so they are not...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Well, we disagree : the content of the letter, to me, dictates the meaning of "Israel of God". In other words, Paul doesn't start a new argument, or raise a new term ("Israel of God"), without treating it, because all the preceding material already explains what he means. He has already called...

    Galatians 6:16And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

    The Roman Catholic Church Infallibility Thread

    This thread is for sharing Roman Catholic dogmas that are clearly debunked, which, in turn, debunk their claims of infallibility. As for myself, there are three I know of : 1. The Marian dogmas rest on the faulty assumption of Mary as the New Eve (eg, Mary has to be sinless, because Eve had...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    LOL! What else am I relying on? I don't regularly read theology books, and I certainly didn't learn what I'm expressing from anyone else, it's just plain in Scripture.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    1. What, exactly, was Peter's Gospel, from which we can learn--and what is an example of what we can garner from "his" Gospel--and how did it differ from Paul's? 2. Do you take into account that Paul also preached to the Jews? a. Paul went to the Synagogue and preached his Gospel to Jews, not...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Well, I hold that they preached the Gospel, and it's just one Gospel. I don't want people confused by your nonsense.
