    You don't understand the meaning of baptism. It is indicative of burial. Sprinkling doesn't accomplish that. Read Romans 6.

    Any comparison of the above, a memorial, with this... Is rather a stretch. Nice try though.

    Afraid of God?

    "Nooo, I don't think so, not yet. I think God wants to hold me back from being all I can be. I think He wants to take away things that are for my good." Does that ring a bell with anyone? I ask because that is what I believed before I finally came to Jesus. I thought He would be restrictive. I...

    I agree with all the above, but you haven't explained how CC doctrine can crush the SDA. I'm intrigued. Also wondering who the Adventist is on this forum who you believe to be cosying up to the CC. Even more intrigued on that one. I know there are some leaders in our church who are involved in...

    Oh we get input alright, charges like "cult", unbiblical, and like the above from amigo, CC doctrine will crush the SDA...whatever that means. So there's input alright, it just isn't demonstrated, explained, or specified.

    No, what you have done is alter the focus of my objection. Ignatius may or may not have some doctrines correct, that's not the point. My principle objection is that he, as a very early leader in the Christian era, is already leading the church down a road to apostasy... Not by a whole raft of...

    Interesting observations there. When I criticize catholicism, I offer biblical, historical evidence. I would be happy to discuss your objections to adventism on another thread... We have had threads of that nature previously, but for some reason they don't seem to go anywhere... Non adventists...

    Objecting to a partial quote from Taken and then partially quoting me to twist the context is a tad hypocritical don't you think?

    And of course you are a linguist and anyone disagreeing with you is psychotic, arrogant, and ignorant. As I said. Very early there were heretics who removed Christ as being Head of the church and replaced Him with vicarious filli dei. Church authority replaced Christ's authority, and the church...

    In other words Brakelite, you are correct. I don't have a relationship with Jesus or His holy Spirit, I rely on fallible sinful man to lead me to heaven. Just keeping it real.

    "All things are lawful..."

    Okay, I'm going to stop you there and won't bother with the Sabbath part, I suspect it's be the same irrelevant context as the above...no-one is suggesting that what we eat makes us unclean... Jesus didn't teach that eating makes is unclean, that was a Jewish concept and a wrong one. They...

    The first century church was apostolic. The second century church was Spirit filled and traveled the world as far as they could to preach the gospel... Except for a few individuals here and there, they were all on the same page. Sadly, those few individuals who were drifting into apostasy, the...

    Soooo, according to you your church couldn't rely on the holy Spirit to teach them truth as Jesus promised, showing a lack of faith in Jesus' promise, and you then double down in declaring such a concept as an actual relationship with God through the holy Spirit is impossible for protestants. It...

    "All things are lawful..."

    My faith informs me of a number of things. If I am faithful into death, I will be resurrected to life. If I am yet alive and abiding in Christ when Jesus comes, I will be translated. God, in His word, has promised all the power in the universe to all who struggle with sin. He has also...

    "All things are lawful..."

    To follow your reasoning one must believe that the same loving God Who defined specifically to Noah and no doubt Adam and Eve and later Israel, what was good and healthy food and ideal for consumption... That is food...became an uncaring parent who allows His children to eat whatever they lust...

    Bigotry is Not Having a Different Opinion.

    Bigotry is being intolerant of those who have a different opinion. The NZ prime minister Jacinda Adern spoke to the UN last week. Her utterly woke dream is to shut down any and all opposition to the present woke agenda, including the Great Reset. If she had her way she would silence others...

    Indeed he does, but this is the first time I've seen him invent verses that have never previously existed.

    To all true Protestants, who take "the Bible and the Bible alone," who do not believe that their Christian character can be correctly formed by any standard, or to any standard other than that which God has revealed, and who do not believe there is any obedience where there is no precept or...

    According to @BreadOfLife , Daniel 3:56-88 reveals repetitive prayer.
