    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Yes, that is what I was taught as a child. Leave your brain at the door, don't think for yourself, you must obey only us, as we are your superiors. And you accuse me of cherry picking. Guess what. You go to a cherry tree for cherries. Not leaves or branches. One cherry from God's word is Truth...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    That's quite possible. I make no pretensions to being infallible or omniscient. Mmmm. That's how rabbinical Judaism justified their traditions to Jesus. In fact, the Catholic system of passing on tradition and giving it authority is a direct parallel to apostatised Israel. The seat of Moses...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Not quite. The church in the East and early Celtic church, and the Waldensian churches were around for centuries, some persecuted by Rome, and the rest called "heretics" because A. They resisted Rome's claims of spiritual authority over them and B. They disagreed with the fanciful permutations...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Read it again. The head of every man is Christ. That includes me. It included Paul. He didn't say the head of any man is another man. The church only has authority so long as Christ is in the church. Jesus declared the house of Israel desolate, which in due time resulted in its destruction in...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    @amigo de christo None here as far as I know agrees at all with the sinfulness and the wrongfulness of the gay lifestyle, it's agenda, and the trappings and deceptions that go with it. No-one. Now, maybe there are some here who agrees with the ecumenical movement, sure. And yes, through Jesuit...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    It is simple if you understand it correctly. Thing is Amigo you have already dismissed God's Commandments as a retrograde step in the Christian life, so how can you fully understand righteousness by faith if you fall to comprehend what is righteousness?

    Politics, politics, politics...or is it? Prophecy and History https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/spotting-heretics.48395/post-1393010

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Those scriptures are a blasphemy if applied to leaders that are corrupt and themselves denying the Christ that saves. I will not submit to leaders, or anyone else, if they themselves are not submitted. KJV 1 Corinthians 11:1-3 1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 2 Now I praise...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Guess what Mary. I'm well aware of Protestant history, and you do make some good points. Violence and war is evil regardless of who the protagonists are. I have written often in this very forum of the dangers inherent in the present Protestant ambitions in America, and Bible prophecy is very...

    The crusades weren't only taken out against Muslims though huh.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Pitting Catholics against Catholics? If this was all that Rome was guilty of, inciting a few wars between themselves, I'm fairly certain such minor infractions on the global scale of things wouldn't have reached the history books and memories of so many diverse cultures across the planet, unless...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    True. But it helps in understanding why and the prophetic implications. Which is why, as Adventists, our biblical prophetic worldview gives us an advantage. Not only does it afford is an accurate and current perspective of prophecy, but gives us a clear picture to a degree, of the major players...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    And yet how do you explain that Noah, Abraham, and others were described by inspiration as being righteous?

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Thank you for that, I appreciate it. Can I then ask you for your opinion on my posts 755 and 756? I know you won't like them, but I would like a biblical reason why I should fully trust in the church... Being your church obviously... When there are examples of dogma or doctrine that is either...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Hahahaha, BoL, you are a hard case. I wasn't trying to refute any of your arguments. Read my response carefully. It is asking for confirmation of what you are telling me. I am asking if I am right in my understanding of what you are saying. You are so bent toward aggressive and defensive...

    Why did God create Satan?

    Surely you must agree that good and evil are diametrically opposed to one another? Would you also agree that both concepts had their beginnings in 2 seperate beings, one infinite, and the created/finite? If evil therefore had a finite beginning in Lucifer/Satan, the concept of good must have...

    Why did God create Satan?

    Can't agree with that. A good biblical worldview does not necessitate evil. One doesn't need evil in order to recognise what is good. And vice versa. Neither can coexist... Darkness cannot withstand light, so they cannot balance or blend. Evil has not always existed, for it had a beginning with...
