Hey Taken, Well, The Church doesn't have any doctrine that says one must bow down to or build a statue! Soooooo what's your point? Do you want to talk about doctrines that The Church does have and discuss those? Or do you wish to continue going on tangents that are off topic? Yup, I trust and...

One more try dodgeball: Do you have great respect for the Mother of God who is 'highly favored and blessed among women' (Luke 1:28)? Do you think the NT Christians did? So that we are on the same page: How do YOU define veneration? If you don't answer this time it will be your 3rd dodge.....

Lol...That's what I expected...another dodge. You crack me up....

You crack me up.....and you always have. If you can not see the fallacy of your argument I feel sorry for you. What you are really saying here is that you believe that YOU believe that God and Jesus are giving you the right interpretation of Scripture. And this is what I have been saying all...

OK...soooo there were some false teachers in NT times after the Apostles died. After the death of the last Apostle who had the authority to decide if they were a false teacher or if they were adhering to the teaching of The Church? Do you have a list OR writings from those false teachers? Were...

Hold on, HOLD ON. I want to understand what you are saying. Me saying that you rely on you to properly interpret Scripture is a "negative response"????

You dodged the questions by changing the subject. Necromancy has nothing to do with what I asked you or what we are discussing One more try dodgeball: Do you have great respect for the Mother of God who is 'highly favored and blessed among women' (Luke 1:28)? Do you think the NT Christians did...

Yup, you answered me. You listen to God and Jesus. I got that message very clear. Sooooo you FEEL like you are listening to God/Jesus and @amadeus feels like he is listening to God/Jesus but both of you disagree with each other. Soooo who is confused? God/Jesus or you and amadeus? Maybe that...

You and @Taken both believe you are right in your interpretation of Scripture but I am willing to bet my life that both of you disagree with each other even though both of you THINK (feel) like you are being guided by the Holy Spirit. Apparently, someone is wrong.

My method of hearing from whom I please and taking THEIR words at face value without verification?????????? Let's try this AGAIN: YOUR method is to hear from whom YOU please (which is yourself) and you take YOUR words at face value and YOU verify what YOU believe is Gods Word . I trust the men...

Oh goodness Taken....when did I ever say that God is NOT supreme power? Stay on topic....

Hey amadeus, Nope, I never, not once, said I am right. I said The Church, which is the pillar and foundation of TRUTH, is right. The Church, who decides who is to be ex-communicated, is right. Whoever has the TRUTH and has the authority to enforce that Truth is right. Do you believe you are...

Oh stop it Taken. The context of this conversation is about Scriptural interpretation and who to trust. You even wrote "Titles and knowing a guy, who knew a guy, is a badge of merit." You and @amadeus put your teachings/interpretation of Scripture above those men with "Titles". Those men had...

Oh, the shame I now have since you put it that way. I have seen the light. They were not "worthy to be mentioned in Scripture" so I shouldn't listen to them. Who do you listen to Taken? You speak for you on doctrinal issues. You agree with you. You were not a student of the Apostles. They were...

Lol...ok....thank you.

Thanks for joining the conversation quitthinker. If we look at the history of Christianity and Scripture on veneration it means to give great respect or reverence. Do you have great respect for the Mother of God who is 'highly favored and blessed among women' (Luke 1:28)? Do you think the NT...

So the men who started those churches they didn't properly study Scripture to come up with those doctrines that YOU call false but YOU conducted a proper study of Scripture to determine that their doctrines are false???????? Even though you are a man that came AFTER the Apostles YOU can figure...

Where do I go if you refuse to answer a doctrinal question from me Ronald? And how often should I ask that same question? Today, and then again a year from now to see if you have changed your answer. And then 2 years from that to see if you have changed your answer again???

Lol....I should trust what YOU wrote over what men who were students of the Apostles wrote.....Clearly of not interest to me. YOU have the writings of God Approved but the men who walked and talked with the Apostles are NOT approved? Fascinating theory Taken....Simply fascinating.........

Rigggghhht...you come to the Truth on your very first reading of Scripture. Congratulations, you are being guided by the Spirit at all times. o_O
