I didn't say they were the same. I was talking about legal political and religious authority. It doesn't mean that the authority is exercised.

That's heartbreaking.

Yep. That's exactly what it's saying. So it seems you agree with me then... That the Catholic tradition of seeking God through other mediators... Such as the dead... Is a vain pastime, and they li ought to be seeking God through the law and the testimony instead right? So your problem is...???

The above was written in the late 19th century. The author would have an apoplectic fit if he were to be aware of what is taking place in US politics today.

THE principles exemplified in the Constitution of the United States as respects religion, were first announced by Jesus Christ, and were preached to the world by his apostles and the early Christians. For two hundred and fifty years they were opposed by the Roman empire. But at last that empire...

You would have me and others here to believe that we must surrender to the Catholic magisterium in order to accept unconditionally that they, and they only must tell us what is truth and what isn't. You understand what that means right? That you want us to place the magisterium above scripture...

Yep, Tetzel reincarnated. No thanks.

KJV Ephesians 6:10-13 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against...

That's about as disingenuous as Catholics claiming protestants died because of the state.

Lol.

Dead. In their graves until the resurrection. And what is the price/wages of sin? Is it literal money we are talking about... Are you another Tetzel? Or is the price we pay for sin exactly what the scriptures declare it to be, and that price inescapable? KJV Romans 6:23 23 For the wages of sin...

I understand where you are coming from, and I partly agree. But I do respond as you may have noticed, but it isn't just for his benefit, but for the many who are looking on thinking perhaps that he actually has an argument and cannot be refuted. He, and one or two other Catholics on this forum...

What is the gospel? What is justification by faith? It is the work of God in laying the glory of man in the dust, and doing for man that which it is not in his power to do for himself.

I haven't listened to your videos but may I suggest that the determination to debunk Christianity within Jewry and Islam... The determination to make Jesus an historical irrelevance at best, and a non-entity at worst, is a direct response, and a desperately failing one at that, to the actual...

And yet here you seen to contradict yourself...

You don't have much faith in the power of God do you.

All good. :)

Please clarify how Catholic mediation through dead saints, Mary, Joseph and even angels, cannot be included and akin to the following quote... KJV Isaiah 8:19-20 19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should...

Apostasy doesn't occur on the back of just one doctrine. It comes with capitulation and surrender to a new master. The acceptance and teaching of purgatory was one symptom among many whereby the Catholic Church apostatized from the truth of God to the lies, superstitions, and traditions...

Yes, and His forgiveness was expressed in a myriad of ways throughout the OT. What the death of Christ accomplished was to satisfy the legal requirements and the natural ramifications of disobedience of the law. Forgiveness on it's own was insufficient to allow us entry to heaven. Which is why...
