What? Now we have a problem with the hypostatic Union? Maybe some of us should go back to the early days of Christianity and make up our very own theology.

Such a superficial response to someone that is new in understanding the Law... and what have you told him basically? That it's not necessary to follow the Law of Christ... What's all this babble about obeying the "new Spirit"? HOW do we SERVE IT? How does it NOT bring true righteousness if all...

Hi SC @Episkopos will give you a good answer, I'm sure. I have this to say: Jesus destroyed The Law on the cross. This is the law that was given to the Israelites in the books of Exodus - Deuteronomy...there are 613 of them. We Christians are not under these laws...THEY were nailed to the...

You have your own definition of worship. You're entitled to it... I'm sure some older persons might "worship" some saint or other... those that know Catholic doctrine DO NOT.

The NT churches were not autonomous, unless you're using this word differently from how it's meant. The churches that Peter and Paul and Luke and Mark set up were to follow the rules of the Apostles and especially of Paul, who was the top theologian of the early church, and Peter and James were...

Jesus is the Son, not the Father, you're right. But He has the nature of the Father, just like You have the nature of Your father ,, human. Why is this so difficult to understand? While the Son, the 2nd Person of the Trinity was on earth, He could do nothing on His own. I forget who you think...

YOUR love of the other person. We're supposed to post in love of the other person...not all do this. We all get upset once in a while, but it's not supposed to be a habit. We ARE to respect each other's opinion and posting personally can be dangerous. It's difficult to know how persons really...

Absolutely...the hyperstatic union. This also took some working out...just as the Trinity did. When I tell persons Jesus was 100% human and 100% God they correct me and say, "no, 50% and 50%". Well, no, it's 100% and 100%.

You studied it well because the verses you speak of are used for support...especially the one regarding the parable of the prisoner that would not be freed till all was paid. As for those being released from prison...this absolutely does not intend to mean persons in purgatory, but those in...

I don't understand your last sentence at all. How are people baptized on behalf of the dead? (1 cor 15:29) Do you believe that purgatory is one of the 3 heavens? As purgatory has been taught until very recently, it is nothing like heaven at all. It still had fire and all the terrible things...

I never said she was. I just think we Protestants should venerate her more than we do.

See my post no. 673

As you wrote it, I agree. But there is also a church that is made up of humans that may or may not be Christian. That church is also here on earth, and that is the church humans have ruined.

What is Apostolic succession? When the original Apostles died,,,was someone left in charge? Was it someone the Apostles had taught? What happened when THEY died? There IS Apostolic succession...not everything is in the bible. But if you really need some verse, I could think of John off-hand...

Taken, I'm not here to protect the CC, there are many on this site that can do this. I just want to say that Exodus 20:4 and Leviticus 26:1 state that we are not to carve graven images. First of all, I don't think this transfers well to commandment number 2.... Second, we need to know what the...

Christ and His church are one. If you mean Church, then I agree. There is only one Body of Christ...us...the true believers and disciples of Jesus. You say Christ continues His work thru the church He founded, on Peter and the Apostles. I can agree to that. Jesus gave Peter the Keys...the...

Hey Scott, I've been our of the U.S. for a long time now. I really don't know very deeply what's going on over there. If a person doesn't live in a country, he cannot really know the everyday happenings in politics, and, since I used to be very interested, I know that a lot goes on that is...

It's all our opinion Jim. Mine is that Russia has overstepped its bounds. Won't say much more, but I do know that a lot goes on behind the scenes, which we all know. So how to have real knowledge? Except that I do see bombs falling and ruining a city and the life of persons, and people trying...

Hi HIH Although I agree with much of the above and have thought this through to the best of my ability, I'd have to agree with @LouisWilliams in post 65. Also, I won't get into this too much because it's very disturbing, to say the least. I would like to read what @Enoch111 thinks about all...

Good morning my loved brother in the Lord Why such strong language? This is why politics are not welcomed on some sites. Just too emotional. Blessings to you.
