There must be a movie made somewhere depicting the many thousands of fortunate men and women who with their lawyers were able to raise a successful defense during the inquisition on the basis that their behavior only transgressed local synod decisions and not general councils.

Then if they are outside the church, what right does the church have in inciting violence against them?

Lol. Huguenot heritage.

Careful now. I am one.

Then you would agree that whatever authority Jesus delegated to His Apostles, it wasn't His authority, for Jesus retains His own authority thus any one and every one else must be in subjection to Christ. If someone claiming to have authority over other men is not in subjection or under authority...

The French, Italians, Greeks... That Latin temperament has them protesting with fire bombs and opera music if their favorite butter runs out.

Shocking. Scandalous. Who woulda thunk,?

True. So why don't you believe that gospel? The work of the gospel includes the recreation of man in the image of Christ... The result being Commandment keepers. Just as Christ was.

I fully agree with this statement. Totally. Like a club, for example a surf life saving club. If you don't want to save lives, then the leadership of the club can decide to bounce you because they decide what is members must practice. The question I have for you, what right does the RCC have to...

I think the law in general is liberating in the sense it gives freedom of expression. Let me explain. Say I want to build a dog box. Simple right? But in order for the box to be functional, I need to comply with certain laws. Even for a dog box there's a building code. Water proof. Wind...

So why not focus on Jesus?

There have been several wars in which US soldiers gave their lives that had nothing to do with protecting the freedoms of Americans. Those were wasted lives offered on the altar of greed and power. The Vietnam we even worse. That war was fought for nothing more than religious bigotry.

Didn't you say the last 6 Popes were questionable yet one is a saint? BTW, scripture declares all are saints. All believers are made holy by the blood of the Lamb. Some "saints' I would suggest are highly questionable.

And those very same sinners led councils to decree canons and laws that deprived Christians of their homes, their farms, their livelihoods, their families and their lives, all in the name of "authority'.

This one... KJV Romans 3:31 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

And the ones throughout the ages who were whoremongers, murderers, charlatans, persecutors, haters, proud, warmongers, sadists, despots.... So much for succession.

If I wanted to demean you I could do a lot worse that offer a reflection of the smilie you inserted in your own post. This one...:(

As we all are To what? Indeed. And I have never seen anyone in any Christian forum ever, even for the 30 years I've been doing this, claim anyone is justified by obeying the law. And I didn't either and you know this, yet you have to remind everyone all the time. Why is that?

Hebrews 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Sincerity, trust, humility, and a desire for a better way. A true heart…sincerity…honesty…keeping it real. Don’t waste...
