You are wrong. Not all will accept it's mark.

And all the above is not new. Better Communications helps us to be more aware, but none of the above is much different than what Luther witnessed and railed against, and received the same treatment from the leadership as Mary and others are dishing out now. Denial, denial, denial.

I might add a little thought to that, I think the basic problem with mankind, and this began in the garden and was the principle reason why Adam and Eve rebelled, us that they didn't trust God... And they didn't trust Him because they didn't know Him as they ought. They misunderstood His...

But you do absolutely condemn those who by using their God given conscience choose a different path than Rome by following scripture as they understand it, trusting in the holy Spirit to guide and lead them into truth. They do not believe that a pope has authority over all Christendom. Nor do...

We know that before Christ returns, a system of government shall develop that will usher in the final attempt to destroy God's people. I'm not talking about Israel, but Christianity... The church. And not the nominal church goers who are there to solidify business contacts and sales. I'm sitting...

I've always seen the first one... The gold... Not as my faith, but character. The dross and impurities removed from my character. But I can certainly understand how appropriate it is for faith to be tried and strengthened. The white raiment I see as Christ's righteousness. I do not see this as...

I edited the former post.. didn't intend sending as is.

You still aren't getting it. I'm not talking about individuals here and there who gave the church a bad rep. I'm talking about the out-workings of church policy developed from the heretical beliefs of those individuals. They were more than just sinners. They developed policy and dogmas which...

I'm the opposite. I use 5 words when one will do.

Your lack of honesty is pathetic. Those so called few sinners led your church into policies that resulted in the decimation of entire communities and cultures. I'm a descendant of huguenot Christians who were massacred in France, the survivors fleeing to Britain and elsewhere, while one of your...

Jesus entered the synagogues and observed Sabbath according to their custom... Tradition. KJV Luke 4:16 16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. Paul and the other apostles did the...

What I KNOW is that over a period of time, your church introduced traditions and doctrines that are derived from pagan sources. The syncretistic nature of Catholicism throughout it's history was evidenced by the adoption of such things. To the law and to the testimony... Otherwise no light...

Meeting together on Sabbath.

Welllll, I wouldn't say nothing. But certainly justification doesn't guarantee salvation. Christ died for all men, and in that sense "saved"the whole world, but we know not all will in the end be saved.

I will hold fast to those traditions that are in harmony with scripture. KJV Isaiah 8:20 20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

The inexplicable idea about all this is that @Marymog , @BreadOfLife @Illuminator etc al not only believe this is the one true church and the pillar and foundation of truth, but they actively with aforethought and determination defend this institution against them very charges too have...

Yet with all that said we do need to know how to relate to the Son, have at least a fair understanding of who He claimed to be and why, as well as a respectful understanding of who the Spirit is. It whose Spirit He is. Or it is. Yep, there are many questions regarding the nature of the Godhead...

What holy church?

It is a sad chapter in church history that a group of clergymen under the auspices of a pagan emperor should decide what comprises the Godhead, give it a confusing title, then relentlessly and cruelly persecute those who disagreed with them. Even more sadly, that same mindset remains to this day...
