The very fact that there is a class within Catholicism designated as 'priests', and therefore qualified/appointed to offer sacrifice, (in direct blasphemous denial of the one sacrifice of our Lord and Saviour) is blasphemy, and calling that same one father identifies you as partaking of the same...

And yet Protestantism continues to embrace and cleave to many of those same errors. Errors and traditions that have wracked the church and cost millions their lives, for nearly 2000 years.

The belief that Jesus and Michael are one and the same, may not be taught explicitly in scripture, but it is certainly taught implicitly. And it hurts not the reputation of either. There is more evidence for, than against. And there are within Christianity blatant and downright ugly...

@theefaith Any Christian with a modicum of reading ability, who does not hold a preconceived bias or prejudice against Protestantism, may read the life of Martin Luther and understand that while Luther himself had some way to go before maturing to a sound Christian character, what he taught...

@Paul Christensen @Eternally Grateful Since when did obedience become an optional extra when one becomes a Christian? Seriously. What is so wrong as simply doing as you're told because God asked? Why does it always have to be reasoned away? "Oh, the Sabbath wasn't for Christians". " You can't...

Not until we are glorified, will we be free from the battle against the carnal nature. But can we stop sinning? What sin in particular do you think you can't stop? About Paul... Paul in his saved born again state was still a slave to sin??? See Romans 6:15-23 The saved born again Paul...

The Sabbath was indeed a sign to Israel. As scripture says, a sign of God's deliverance from Egypt/slavery/sin, and a sign that their sanctification was solely in the hands of God. Yet Jesus said that the Sabbath was made for mankind. KJV Mark 2:27 27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was...

I disagree with each one of the above authors, and you. Notwithstanding their collective reputation. And as it is extremely likely that other authors with equally impressive credentials have been brought to your attention on previous occasions who had opposite points of view to the ones you've...

Okay. I do get where you are coming from. And I have half way considered this myself in the past, and can go along with your perspective to a point. But I would like you to consider something. In Revelation we are told of a marriage supper. In several parables Jesus speaks of wedding feasts...

Jacob only listed 7 points. Only 7. Yet not one of them did you attempt to actually address. Are you also a Jesuit?

And I would add... KJV 1 Timothy 4:1-3 1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry...

All the musings and questions aside from the rest of your post, I will take this... ... On face value, and go from there. My question, why did Jesus teach pacifism, turning the other cheek etc? In Hebrews, Paul says KJV Hebrews 1:1-3 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in...

Why did they do you think?

I'm going to think about this some more before I reply. Hopefully I don't forget.

My mind is going skew wiff right now. I'm not going to criticize you. Your patience is astonishing. And you are right. It's great to theorize but when the rubber meets the road... Will the wheels fall off???

Well well well. We learn something every day. Who woulda thunk. I'll never look at a pair of red slippers the same again.

Oh dear. Where to begin. Evidence of pagan Rome in the church? One could throw a rock at random in the general direction of Italy and hit the jackpot. And then discover that Protestantism inherited it and defend and cleave to it using every possible tactic imaginable to justify their position...

Lol

I think it's great, and important, that these questions are being asked. I am a pacifist by nature. I have never, ever been a fighter as such. I'm 68 years old and have punched just two people in my life... One in defense of my wife. I simply do not get into situations, or exacerbate situations...

@Amazed@grace what I see here is someone justifying a representation of the Godhead in direct contradiction to the second Commandment. And I must admit that I had never seen it that way until @ReChoired brought it to our attention. I think that instead of attacking him for doing so, should we...
