Thank you for your honesty....

Good Morning Adoration, What about the Protestant Churches that are, what some call, *Catholic light? Will anyone that joins/supports those Churches go down also? *A Protestant Church that holds some Catholic doctrine/dogma but is not in full agreement with them! Mary

Good Morning Barbara, Wouldn't the question "Who founded the Kingdom" be a mute question since there is only one answer to that question. But "Who founded your church" is not a mute question since there are many answers. Mary

"To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant."

Hi Adoration, What "rules" are you talking about? Curious mary

Both are true. You were honest when you said that you were not familiar with every aspect of discipline and order in your church AND that is what I thanked you for in post #415 soooo NO I am not taking that back. At no time did you say Prior to post #407 “ the clergy is disciplined by the...

You didn’t say that...go back and read what you wrote please.

I havn’t twisted your words. I have just pointed out your inconsistency. I don’t think your an evader. I just think your confused.

Thank you for your honesty.

I feel like you are since you said your church doesn’t have a creed but you then said if your clergy didn’t follow the creed of your church then they are disciplined. Church members don’t get disciplined. But then you say that church members handle church members affairs and referred to Matthew...

Ummmm.....YOU said that only your clergy get disciplined

Translation....I’m embarrassed

Soooo your interpretation of Matthew 18:15-17 is when a church leader sins against his brother they are to go get 1-2 other clergy members to settle the matter. But if they don’t listen to those 1-2 others they are to take their differences to the members of the church and the members of the...

Matthew 18 does not speak of disciplining clergy ONLY. It speaks OPPOSITE of that. Who taught you? Why did you avoid the other question? Are you embarrassed about your church?

And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Why would a church only enforce their beliefs on church leaders (clergy)? What church do you belong to that does that?

”except in some instances on the clergy.”

Sooo if I agreed with your theory I wouldn’t be confused? Fascinating....
