Except in reality you reduce it to nine, then pretend tradition expresses love as opposed to obedience. Sorry if that sounds blunt, I say that with love, not in an attempt to condemn or troll. It simply is what it is.

If you were a true Protestant, upholding scripture and scripture alone, you wouldn't be resorting to your own commentary to support your doctrine. You would be allowing the Bible to interpret itself, as I showed in my post to Mary #664.

And on that flimsy piece of evidence a commandment is set aside in favour of tradition and almost the whole Protestant world surrenders to Catholic authority on the mater.

There's no such thing as Jewish Sabbath Mary. and if this were true... You would understand the following scripture... Mt 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day. Mr 2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. Lu 6:5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man...

So the inquisitions were inquiries held only toward the faithfulness or otherwise against Catholics? The torture chambers underneath the churches throughout Europe (you can still visit many of them today if you have a mind that can handle the obscene) were there only to torture Catholics, and...

An absolutely delightful day spent with wife, daughter, son in law, 6 grandchildren, a dog named Sebastian,a tortoise, 5 budgies, and a kangaroo. Loving relationships. The only real meaningful gift in life.

Indeed, and I agreed that the church has such authority. The analogy I offered was of a club who has authority to give the boot to someone not willing to follow the rules and the purpose of the club, so we are agreed on that. However, my question was a follow up.... Yes, if one chooses to...

Why do you reject authority? I don't. I just reject the Antichrist's despotism.

Yet your church and you are not following the example of the Apostles in keeping the traditions of the elders. In fact 300 years later thorough state sponsored legislation and persecution, they managed to enforce new traditions. Strange behaviour for a church that claims such high moral integrity.

Your welcome. But you didn't answer my question. What busyness does the Catholic Church have with persecuting those that are not in their club?

You are beginning to sound like the extreme left wing activists finding fault where there is none. If you addressed the actual points made in the conversation instead of going on to a tangent of personality and character assassination we all might make some progress.

Good did precisely that with Israel. That the entire nation suffered because of Achan is but one example of many. Why shouldn't He deal with the church the same way?

Congratulations on your well thought out and considered opinion of who I am based on all the screeds of information and knowledge you have of me. They're obviously nothing I can add. Later.

You've merely repeated your theory and not addressing the scriptures that disagree with it. How biblicaly honest is that?

As we study these scriptures we must realise that all of them are in the context of prophecy regarding the second coming of Jesus Christ. It is the second advent that climaxes all the above crisis’ and is the focal point of all prophecy. Matthew 24:37-41 But as the days of Noe were, so shall...

Throughout history governments enact laws that reflect their ideology and/or worldview... The character of the ruling power. Jesus is the Lawgiver. Those laws reflect Who He is. They are a written transcript of His character and the nature of the government in heaven. So when e day we are...

No, Mary replaces Jesus in the minds of many Catholics. They pray to her hoping for advantage because they are afraid of God thinking He doesn't care.

There were several reasons why Kennedy became an enemy of the deep state. The above as you said, also his desire to free the country from the grip of the fed reserve, but the Vietnam war was a Catholic was against communism to prop up a Catholic depot in south vietnam. Remember those Buddhist...

Are you serious? You ask me for evidence for one of the most verifiaby established facts of religious history that even friends of the Catholic Church wouldn't gainsay? What have the last 3 or 4 Popes been apologising for?
