Well no, not really. I mean, it isn't like anyone could disagree with scripture when Jesus said, "if you love Me, keep My Commandments." Of course, the question everyone then asks, what are Jesus's Commandments? Frankly, it isn't me again, or simply my opinion that declares that Exodus 20:2-17...

I have made no claim that any Pope or any future Pope was, or may be, the Antichrist. What I do have is much biblical prophetic and historical evidence that the system of theology, soteriology, as taught by the church and the union of church and state as practised by the Papacy is Antichrist...

Not a very clever switcheroo, but you tried. The question I answered wasn't about my church, it was about papal authority.

Still off topic.

Or... How dare you judge me.

I agree with you regarding the corruption that is rife throughout government...and it doesn't end with just the politicians. Unelected bureaucrats can also be involved in corruption. But we are duel citizens. We are foremost citizens of heaven, operating under a reigning King. We are also legal...

Hate can, but does not necessarily exclude or contradict love. Love and hate are not opposites. To hate is to make one an enemy. Does God not love even His enemies?

I'm not sure what direction you are heading, or the purpose, as this thread topic isn't about me. Care to elaborate on the agenda you are following?

P I thought this topic was about the origins of papal authority? I answered that question in posts #405, 893, and elaborated on a little further in posts #1007 and 1061. The SDA church isn't the subject of this thread.

Does you church teach you to obey Jesus's Commandments? I know it does. Remember, I was a Catholic long before you were converted. I'm sure such basic teachings haven't changed in that time. When the commandments of the church are contradictory to commandments of Jesus, you obey the church. If...

No. The magisterium of the Catholic church decides "what the truth of scripture is". And you, without any reference to scripture, decide that the magisterium must be right, therefore you shall obey them. I have decided that the scripture itself is true. So I obey the scripture. The subtle...

One can readily recognise the harmony between Francis's rebuke of those who believe it important to have a relationship with Jesus, and the Catholic dogma that promotes the concept of Christians having to surrender their lives to the Popes instead. And it was your church that established Sunday...

Most sins admit of shared responsibility. The person committing the sin is often mostly to blame, though this is not always the case. Some are more sinned against than sinning. The man who educates a child to steal cannot escape responsibility by saying that he himself does not steal. The one...

The powerful pagan influence upon the Roman church is exemplified by nothing more brazen and blatant than the little ornamental cross that sits atop the obelisk in St Peter's Square. Supposedly representing the church's victory over paganism, it is more a demonstration of paganism's victory over...

When lots were cast upon the two goats taken from the congregation, one lot was for the Lord's goat and the other for the scapegoat. (Leviticus 16:8) Some believe both goats to be symbolic of Christ, representing two phases of His atoning work. Others believe that they represent two opposing...

.. you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify. —The Faith of Our Fathers, by James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of...

Then you'll be able to prove it right? A biblical text showing the sacredness of Sunday? Oh, and it is a Catholic thing. Protestants honour Sunday in obedience to Catholic theology...not because of scripture.

Careful to not be presenting yourself the hypocrite. Surely you do not blindly obey the church regardless of whether they teach scripture or not? KJV Acts 17:10-11 10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the...

I literally said, quote...Satan is constantly endeavoring to attract attention to man in the place of God. The scripture says obey those who have the rule over you. Are those who themselves are not subject to Christ, have rule over others? Am I under any obligation to obey a tyrant who usurps...

KJV Isaiah 8:20 20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.... Has an immediate context with spiritualist teachers or those who propose people that are living ought to pray to the dead. There is NO light in them. Why is...
