"They" is everyone, be they SDA, Catholic, Presbyterian, or government employee who claims to have Spiritual or religious authority over anyone else, or claims to be a teacher of doctrine. Unless they can show me from scripture that what they are teaching is truth, and not just some random...

To the law and the testimony, if they speak not according to this word, there is no light in them. Isaiah 8:20

Unless they have a "thus saith the Lord" in support of their theories, why should we listen to anyone other than scripture? You don't know what final authority in faith and doctrine means? "To the law and to the testimony. If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no...

I am horrified that after all I have said, you should find cause to affirm that. I have constantly reiterated time and time again, that the scriptures are the final authority in faith and doctrine. The church being described as the foundation and pillar of truth does not contradict God's word as...

Cardinal rule for biblical understanding. The Bible interprets itself with the aid of the holy Spirit.. If you want some examples, happy to oblige.

KJV Revelation 12:17 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. KJV Revelation 19:10 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it...

So you do read scripture a lot? I'm surprised but pleased for your sake. Surprised because you didn't first recognise any scripture in my post. Further to that, your attempt to make me some sort of villain falls for two reasons. I was responding to your quip that I wasn't quoting scripture...

You have a problem with that? Does that need to be interpreted? Sounds similar enough to me. And the context doesn't change the core meaning of Jesus's words here. And the rest of scripture agrees with that core meaning. KJV Acts 17:24-31 24 God that made the world and all things therein...

Universally recognised in western Christendom? Nonsense. If that were true, why did the church find it so essential, before the resignation, to instigate crusades and inquisitions to root out heretics to the Catholic faith? Why was Rome so opposed to Celtic Christianity and the Waldenses if they...

Which verse are you referring to? Which 6 words?

The ants aren't that little either...

I belong to this church, as described in Revelation 12 and 14... KJV Revelation 12:17 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. KJV Revelation 14:12 12 Here is the...

If the men and the Bible agree, there's no problem. If the men and the Bible disagree, you are welcome to obey the men, I will obey the Lord God of Israel and His word.

None of that will be necessary. I will show you a proven alibi, and you will apologise for accusing me falsely, and I will forgive you.

Indeed. As an officer of the law, He is the representative of the government who enacted that law. be merciful and Jesus was the rightful representative of the government of heaven, and therefore qualified to be merciful and forgive sinners, taking the due punishment for sin upon Himself. The...

I think most of us here understand that. I do not come here as a voice on behalf of Protestantism. Protestantism as a principle is good, but the institutions that have historically professed to be protestants have failed their calling. Protestantism as a worldview, and the need for a reformation...

Jesus explained how we should approach such declarations that when literally taken, prove difficult, even impossible to understand. In the context of the above, He said, KJV John 6:63 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are...

That "highest rank' could very well be understood to mean, as vicar literally means, in place of Christ.. Instead of Christ... In the room of Christ. Yes?

Yes. I was one of them. But not all the truth. Christians continue to study and learn throughout all eternity. In the over all scheme of things, we know nothing much at all. Enough to be assured of our salvation, and prepared for Jesus' return. Many take that route, yes. I did that and the...

You don't read scripture much do you? Or was it my post you didn't read? I quoted scriptures in my post, and what I said otherwise was based on scripture. John 15:5. KJV Romans 8:5-10 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the...
