Hey Ferris, Here is what The Church has declared in the Second Vatican Council: “Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it...

Removed the 2nd commandment….Wow….why would anyone join that church??? :)

Hey Stupmaster, Did you know Catholic Churches have crosses and crucifixes in them? Yes, even the Vatican…Curious Mary

Hi, There were thousands of crucifixions in ancient history. So is it fair to say that an empty cross represents those thousands? But a cross that has the likeness of Jesus on it represents the most important crucifixion in history? The Church, since the beginning, has preached Christ...

Hey Robert, Who attended the Council at Nicaea? I don’t mean like each individual name but in general; who was there and what was their position in The Church? What is this other “Christian religion” that hijacked the church of Christ? I have never heard this theory before. Mary

Hold on….Hold on….I think your joking here Robert. They were Sola Scriptura??? So what you are saying is that they read Scripture to figure what should be considered Scripture? Is that what your saying??? Even though they disagreed on what epistles should be considered Scripture…..

Hi Robert, I agree that in general they did not disagree on the 27 books we have today (even though they did disagree on Revelation, Hebrew, James and Jude) so whoever taught you that they didn’t disagree AT ALL on what was Scripture did not teach you well. But I think I get the gist of your...

In your OP you said “…..the leaders of Nicea also confirmed for the first time what was Scripture”. That statement is completely and utterly false. They did NOT discuss what was or was not Scripture.

Hey Robert, In regard to lie #2 you do know that what books were considered Scripture was not even discussed at Nicaea? :rolleyes: But I get the gist of your argument and have a few questions for you: If "All the writings and books of the prophets and apostles were already fully known by the...

Hey Matthew, You pose a very good question. I believe we make a choice. What do you believe? Curious Mary

Once again you are teaching OPPOSITE of what Scripture says. Each individual Christian church CAN NOT teach what they believe to be the Truth of what Scripture says. Do you not know what some of the epistles are??? They are letters from the Apostles to individual churches that started teaching...

Ummmmm....You said ‘leadership is by EXAMPLE (as Jesus frequently called them on)- not by appointment‘. Soooooo if the leaders of The Church (elders, bishops, deacons) are, as Scripture says, APPOINTED by the Holy Spirit how are they NOT chosen by appointment?? You make no sense. You are...

LOL....as I expected. You didn’t answer. Thank you.

Ummmm.....you do know the accepted definition of a Protestant? Don’t you? Protestant: a member or follower of any of the Western Christian churches that are separate from the Roman Catholic Church and follow the principles of the Reformation, including the Baptist, Presbyterian, and Lutheran...

Who taught you this???

Did you miss the part of Scripture that says they were chosen by the Holy Spirit? I feel like you are joking with me but sadly I think you are being serious.

Oh goodness.....Sooooooo scripture makes it clear that some men were chosen by the Holy Spirit to lead the church and guide men to the Truth BUT you believe that no man has been chosen by the Holy Spirit to guide men to the Truth to guard the sheep against false teachers.....Simply FASCINATING...

That is completely and utterly NOT TRUE!!! It is not a “perk”!! It is BECAUSE they are in a “position of command” that they are worthy of double honor. Scripture makes that VERY clear....Who taught you this stuff?

Yup...that’s what I assumed you believed. So please do educate me. WHO decides WHAT man “is legitimately instructed by the "Holy Spirit" to start a "congregation"? WHO decides if that man “violates any part” of the rules of Scripture? How can one group that believes totally opposite of...

Sheepdog, PLEASE help me understand what you are saying here. Are you saying that any man can start a church, make up the rules (doctrine, dogma) for that church and the only authority that man has is inside their individual walls? Anyone that joins that individual church must obey the leader...
