    The problem with the Bible alone!

    They are slaves to their institution while they openly disobey God. They faithfully obey "mother" while trampling upon the truth and the revelations of Father. They boast of their faithfulness to defend "mother", all the while murdering and persecuting those who defend the Father. "In vain do...

    How to defend the trinity?

    Do those scriptures say that no branch or facet of the church will apostatize? Or is Jesus saying that the church as a whole shall survive the testing and temptations of the enemy? Catholics blindly and stubbornly resist the idea that there were Christians upon the earth throughout Christian...

    The problem with the Bible alone!

    KJV Luke 22:25-26 25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

    How to defend the trinity?

    You don't remember telling everyone here that your church has been in a state of apostasy for several hundred years? I would state your church has been in apostasy since the 6th century when she accepted the baubles of political office from the dragon. KJV Revelation 13:2 2 And the beast which...

    How to defend the trinity?

    Christ is King. Your pope may claim to be a king, but Christ did not appoint anyone else to His position. He is well capable of ministering to His people without the necessity of a counterfeit mediatory.

    The problem with the Bible alone!

    One who represents Him in character. Not one who attempts to counterfeit him.

    Jesus Second Coming

    So the God sitting on the throne in heaven is also sitting at the table next to you? All three? Can you show me that from scripture?

    How to defend the trinity?

    Well, the church did then, sure. But it wasn't long before the church, at least your church, was teaching something totally different. And according to your own testimony, they're teaching something else today. Your church has about as much credibility as my neighbors cat.

    How to defend the trinity?

    Not according to any of the scriptures you quoted. Nor can you prove that you have any more right to claim authority than I. In fact, I have already exercised authority many times in the name of Jesus, and God backed it up.

    How to defend the trinity?

    Depends on what you mean by trinity. Do you mean what the Bible actually teaches concerning the trinity/Godhead, or do you mean the Orthodox creeds concerning the trinity? I can certainly defend the Godhead, and three divine persons from scripture, that's easy. Defending the Orthodox Trinity and...

    How to defend the trinity?

    You don't understand that as you ignore the truth being taught you by other Christians, you will have to answer to God why you ignored these scriptures you yourself quoted demanding of others that they listen to you. Because those scriptures apply to every child of God who believes in Christ and...

    Jesus Second Coming

    So the fleshly person of Jesus is omnipresent? Do you not discriminate (in a good sense) between Father, Son, and Spirit? Is it the one God of the trinity you believe is omnipresent, or are each individual persons each omnipresent?

    The problem with the Bible alone!

    If that abject ignorance of faith was on the part of the Catholic Church, I would agree. It was the abject ignorance and distaste of a priest for anyone becoming converted that convinced me the church was wanting.

    Why I believe in the rapture.

    Amen. Have accepted and taught that for many years now. Didn't always though. I was once a dispensationalist who thought the nation was still the apple of God's eye. While I do believe that individual Israelis... Or Jews... Have a distinct advantage when they come to Christ, being grafted into...

    Why I believe in the rapture.

    I would suggest that only Israel is saved. Then it's easy to understand why, and how, all Israel is saved.

    "Please Report Heresy"

    Forgiveness is absolutely a tenet of faith. And Matthew 5:16 doesn't need interpreting. But I still don't believe it is my place to forgive an institution such as the papacy for crimes committed against others. She doesn't owe me an apology, and therefore I cannot forgive any debt to me as...

    The problem with the Bible alone!

    That she just happened to agree with every historian of the dark ages that the church persecuted dissenters/heretics (in the church's opinion) seems to have passed your notice. Even your own church as policy boasted of having the sword of the secular arm to use at the church's disposal. You...

    "Please Report Heresy"

    Yes. Exactly my point. Some of those records are all that remains of the existence of those people who today the Vatican calls heretics. Exposing previously unknown crimes would have them apologizing for centuries. And no. There is no reason whatsoever why I or anyone else can, or needs to...

    Not something I'm familiar with. neither of the above two comments of yours are worth responding to.
