Thank you for all of the above. If I were to take this case to court, your posts would be all the evidence I need to prove why scripture is the only safe foundation for truth.

Yep, you've quoted the same Catholic source Mungo quoted. Isaiah 8:20 supports Sola scriptura because it claims to be the final arbiter in doctrine, faith, and practice. In other words, don't go to the wizards, the ecclesiastical councils, or the theologians, because unless they speak according...

The Church, on the other hand, after changing the day of rest from the Jewish Sabbath, or Seventh day of the week, to the first, made the Third Commandment refer to Sunday as the day to be kept holy as the Lord's Day. The Council of Trent (Sess. VI, can. xix) condemns those who deny that the Ten...

Nice try. I stand by what I said. You denigrate yourself when you deliberately misapply scripture... As many do when using Colossians 2 as an excuse for ignoring the 4th Commandment. No-one is belittling you. You do it to yourself. You are the only who suffers as a result of your own...

Ummm. The Sabbath is the seventh day. Now unless you know something the rest of us missed, God established the week by creating everything in 6 days and resting the seventh. When I was at school I learned that the week has seven days. If the Sabbath is the seventh day, it's the last day of the...

Question: Which is the Sabbath day? Answer: Saturday is the Sabbath day. Question: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Answer: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday. —Rev. Peter Geiermann C.SS.R., The...

He's not telling you to go to church. He's asking you to rest. To remember to keep His day holy. If you think going to church is a part of keeping the day holy, then great. But church isn't the focus of the commandment, God is. As for demanding that He tell you which day is the last day of the...

One of the Kings of Israel said something similar. It didn't turn out well for him. "Are you he that troubleth Israel?"

The problem does not lie with those encouraging obedience. The problem lies with those who make excuses and imagine reasons for not doing so. Made worse b acclamations of "we are free" to do so.

KJV Genesis 2:2-3 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. KJV Exodus...

I get that. It isn't all that difficult to understand. What I don't understand is the claimed authority of Catholicism to undermine the authority of the God you profess had the authority to command and expect obedience by altering that command to suit the convenience of man. Your man B above...

Isaiah 8:20 informs us that scripture is our safeguard against error and the delusions of man. Whether you choose to call that Sola scriptura, or something else is entirely up to you. I see scripture as the final arbiter of faith and practice. With good reason, for I haven't witnessed, read, or...

I agree with you. But how is authority exercised? Is it not through the word of that authority? Either written, or spoken. The Bible is the written inspired word of God... His word is the expression of His authority. Just as the constitution and the bill of rights is the written expression of...

In order to support the idea that there was a change at some time in history regarding the days of the week, you would also have to convince us that in one week, everyone on the planet, Jews, Christians, Muslims, and everyone else, obligingly agreed to that change without anything being recorded...

On who's authority?

Or even worse, an authority claimed by man to be above God's word.

The same God who knows the end from the beginning inspired the prophets and the writers of the books in scripture to encompass all ages and all circumstances. The end of slavery and the acceptance of marijuana, the social aversion to polygamy and the two party political paradigm of modern...

There is an answer to this. It is true there are numerous "interpretations"... And that's the problem. The problem isn't with scripture... It's still KJV 2 Timothy 3:16 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction...

I believe there is already a real possibility of it impacting my health. But then driving a school bus in Melbourne traffic has that possibility also. I know where you're coming from. I await more evidence. It isn't a decision I would take lightly, nor is it one I've settled on yet. All...

My sincere apologies. I do remember reading this, and was going to respond but got distracted and forgot all about it. Sorry for my aspersions. I have no issues with certain traditions. But when they contradict scripture, or contradict your behavior or briefs, that is where the ideal of...
