Justification by faith ALONE? Curious and bible study Mary

Who decides when someone has diverged from Scripture? A majority vote? A special panel of chosen church leaders? All the Reformers thought the CC diverged from Scripture (hence the reformation) but all the Reformers disagreed with each other on what was diverged from and what was correctly...

The Apostolic Fathers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the breaking of the bread. I think they are a reliable source.

Hi Rita, The men of the Reformation felt they were called to "test" what thy heard. Look where that has led Christianity. :( I trust the writings of the men who walked and talked to the Apostles over the men of the Reformation.

Hi Mayflower, You pose a very good question. I have found the best way to resolve what to believe is to read the Apostolic Fathers and 1st-2nd century Christians writings. To study and learn from the men who walked and talked with the Apostles or the men who lived during the times of the...

Hi Aspen, I was sincere when I asked what you what you meant in your original statement by transcending doctrine that we have learned. I did not understand it. You NEVER said "start using what we have learned to love one another" in your original post soooooo let's not pretend that your...

This is a perfect example of your convoluted and dishonest posts. I asked you a question. You didn't answer. I replied by saying I knew you wouldn't answer and then you ask me to ask the same question over again. o_Oo_Oo_Oo_Oo_Oo_Oo_O Scroll back....read what was written and figure it out...

Hi taken, FYI.....I have not blocked you because I think it is a silly way of ignoring someone. HOWEVER, I have stopped reading your responses to me (along with your trolling responses) since they are sooooo convoluted and I can't make sense of them. I wish you the best and am praying for you!

Thank you for the clarification. (I think you meant to put the word "not" in between does say?) I agree with you that the verse does not say we should attack each other. It clearly says to give a defense which is opposite of attack in war. There are some who do not believe in the Real...

Oh goodness.....:( I was going to ask you if you are being serious but I think you are.....:(

According to Scripture you are also answerable to the Church and if you have the wrong answer the Church has the authority to treat you as a pagan or tax collector: Matthew 18:17 I have asked Him. He told me your doctrine in some areas is opposite of what Christ taught.

Slow down cowboy.....YOU are the one who said "to me it is an unwinnable game." Sooooo don't suggest that little ol' Marymog thinks it's a game. I look forward to your retraction. Mary

I do feel ignored. The attention I get are non answer answers.

Hi not helpful Aspen, I read your post. It didn't answer my question and neither does this one. :( It was a sincere question. I was hoping for a sincere answer.

Hi troll, Golly, you must not know either.

Ummmm......properly interpreting Scripture, which effects your salvation, is not a "game" kiddo. You're making it a game by being coy, but it's not a game. Mary

How does one transcend the doctrine they have learned? Curious Mary

Once again.... A LOT of words...but no answer. Sad Mary

Hi Willie, I don't see where making condescending remarks furthers the discussion but I bet it made you feel good.....didn't it? Would you care to give it a shot? :rolleyes: Who's written words do YOU put more weight in when trying to discern or interpret Scripture? @Amadeaus or the...
