    do you KNOW the Lord

    In the very context of the question posited on this thread, Jesus, in two different parables, described precisely the basis for judging between those who had been saved by grace, and those who were not saved. It is Jesus Himself to in the judgement expects that those who have received God's...

    Why do you reject authority?

    Correct. But it is found in the syllabus of errors written and prepared by the same author and annexed to the encyclical, thus giving it the same authority and reflecting the thoughts of the author. Who's "we"?

    do you KNOW the Lord

    No. You are being foolish for creating issues where there are none. I have never suggested, that works save anyone. Start again.

    Why do you reject authority?

    Lol. As if you would seek to convince readers that SDA sites pull this stuff out of thin air. You know perfectly well that this wasn't invented by the SDA Church, and that it is a direct quote. I could pull the Quanta Qura encyclical from all over the place and it would say the same thing. As...

    Why do you reject authority?

    Yet encyclicals, binding or not, are a reflection of Catholic opinion, particularly when it's repeated by Catholic media decades later. We are talking about general Catholic incompatibility with the spirit of the constitution. That is religious liberty. Religious liberty is not a Catholic...

    Why do you reject authority?

    And the manner in which you share your love to those here who disagree with your theology is a credit to your organisation I'm sure. But all that isn't what the discussion is all about is it. It's about the Catholic Church understanding and practise of religious liberty. Your asinine remark...

    This Is Barbaric

    That's satanic.

    This Is Barbaric

    Have very fond memories of cows. Some can be very affectionate. Used to sit down in the middle of the paddock and stay quietly singing. Would be surrounded in no time. Bulls however didn't need too much provocation to show off their strength... Typical males. Even the bull calves enjoyed...

    do you KNOW the Lord

    You need to read a little more of the Bible you are so fond of using to uphold your ideas. KJV Romans 2:5-11 5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; 6 Who will render to every man...

    Go, And Sin No More?

    There are rich lessons to be learned from the OT sanctuary service. By M L Andreason The flour used in the meal offerings was not to be offered dry; it was to be mingled with oil, or anointed with oil. (Leviticus 2:4,5) The oil is the Spirit of God. Only as a life is sanctified by the Spirit...

    do you KNOW the Lord

    How do you know them when you meet them? By their fruits right? They are recognised by their works... It us by their works that Christians are judged.

    do you KNOW the Lord

    You are correct in much of what you have presented here, including the historic fact that Adventists have tended toward legalism. You are also correct in citing Paul as saying that no-one has ever kept God's commandments, which after all is why the plan of salvation was undertaken right? It's...

    do you KNOW the Lord

    Exactly, amen. And the result of that faith through the grace of God, they become "doers of the law". They dont become justified by doing the law, but if you are looking for people who are justified, look for doers of the law.

    Why do you reject authority?

    Never. Surrender to Jesus Christ. All of them...if they agree with scripture. If they don't agree with scripture, cast them aside. Good for them. Tell me, what authority takes precedence? That of the constitution of the United States, or the councils of the Catholic Church when they contradict...

    Why do you reject authority?

    The current Pope then is the identity of the man who was lying to me. “You must not behave like human business that try to attract more people,” Pope Francis said , “To use a technical word: you must not proselytize. It is not Christian to proselytize.” The same bloke said on another occasion...

    Why do you reject authority?

    I expected nothing less than this from you BoL. Your "double-speak" on this forum, along with the same tactic by others here and Catholicism in general when it speaks of "religious liberty", justification by faith "alone", and so many other issues which she pretends to be mild mannered and...

    Why do you reject authority?

    I edited the post. You need to read further.

    Why do you reject authority?

    What this entire discussion is about... Ecclesiastical authority in the context of Catholicism... Strikes at the very heart of Protestantism and American constitutional law. The God given right for every man to worship according to his or her own conscience. The Catholic hierarchy has hated...

    Where does the Bible say...

    Can you give me an example in the scriptures please of a Christian observing Sunday as a sacred day? I can give you several examples of Christians, in the book of acts, even gentiles, who observed the Sabbath. I worship God every day. I don't worship any day. I do honor the 7th day Sabbath...
