I think you should have said, Paul did not say, keep the Sabbath holy. The reason he didn't say that was likely (not wanting to read his mind) , because he didn't need to. The Sabbath was well known among the entire middle east as a Jewish tradition. The Jewish converts themselves didn't need to...

Interesting. A typical protestant apologetic for disobeying the 4th commandment which your own church in the past has condemned as unbiblical having no real foundation in scripture, those scriptures you quoted not saying what you want them to say.

Of course! I have an obligation and a responsibility to not only myself, but my family, neighbors, and strangers, that my witness and testimony to Jesus, the Way Truth, and Life, is in fact I'm harmony with scripture, otherwise I might be found to be a liar, and leading others into perdition...

Can we be saved and yet not love Jesus? No. "If ye love me, keep my commandments". Can we be saved in a state of disobedience? No. That's how humanity lost it's exalted position in Eden. Shall we return to that position but have no change in attitude, or character, or impulses? No again...

The experience of Willow Creek and it's failed pastor reveals why denominations, with the focus on family rather than business modelling, are not defunct institutions, can be successful if run correctly and according to scriptural Imperatives.

Just a thought that crossed my mind I'm getting back to the OP, I am wondering if at present there is a "one true church". I do believe that I'm the best future there will be, but right now there are Christians in every church, in every denomination, genuine believers who do not at this time...

What is the alleged crime?

I don't accept any man's teaching, or woman's, unless they are in harmony with scripture. You cannot claim the same. You accept your men's teaching with no clear reference point or set standard based solely on your men's declaration, I told you so. You have your Pope. I have scripture. If I am...

My official exit from catholicism came after meeting Jesus during a night of confession and surrender, and twice returning to my roots, attending mass, meeting the officiating priest, but finding no life within or encouragement to return. I never knew or met a bad Catholic. I never had any...

So I read your little treatise, and there was nothing there that surprised or shocked. I was fully aware of the equally egregious incidents of Protestant persecutions... Not only against Catholics, but fellow Protestants. However, you are comparing apples with rusty ovens. First, you need to...

You need to read that in context. Paul, as all the other apostles and many church fathers, could not see a future of 2000 years until Christ returns. KJV 1 Corinthians 1:1-9 1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2 Unto the church...

And Ellen White, whom they love to vilify, said the same 150 years ago.

Of anyone wants to know what to look for in the "one true church", one could do worse than looking for the criteria in scripture for the final remnant church before the second coming. A. It must be a global church, as they peach the everlasting gospel to every kindred, nation, tongue, and...

That's all you've got? Abuse? I commended you for your Catholic faithfulness, and your zeal in defending what you believe to be right... You are a good Catholic. But if I am wrong concerning the historical admixture of pagan symbolism and practise within catholicism, then refute it by explaining...

Seems I'm touching a nerve, the response from you uncharacteristically venomous, a response I would normally expect from BoL and MOG. . Philip restrains himself admirably, but now and again you do reveal your true colors. Baptized paganism is a thing. It has been around for nearly 2 millennia...

@BreadOfLife we are sanctified by God's word and the work of the holy Spirit in our lives. Set apart for holy use is not unique to single people. Married people, even the unbelieving partner, are sanctified by the other... How much more if both are believers. @Illuminator said...its reliance on...

No. Not all of those church leaders demand their followers obey him and not scripture. So they are not popes.

You need to read that in context. Paul, as all the other apostles and many church fathers, could not see a future of 2000 years until Christ returns. They all thought the second coming was imminent. In that context what Paul was saying makes sense... If you can remain single with sin and without...

Guys, don't expect @BreadOfLife to argue against the Abrahamic venture in the middle east, BoL is a very good Catholic, dedicated, focused, single eyed and zealous for his faith. And what is taking place there is not outside of Catholic teaching and practise. So BoL will not criticize or...

To this question, which was no doubt rhetorical because you answered it here .. And I agree with what you are intimating, that we don't look to gross error in order to discover truth, and you conclude with... Is God gathering together a people to represent Him in these last days, and deliver...
