    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    The Church doesn't place ANY of these ABOVE the Word of God. What Jesus was rebuking the Pharisees for was placing THEIR traditions OVER as important as anything God had commanded. However – I’ll go through your list anyway . . . 1. veneration of Mary Definition of Venerate: “To regard with...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    Since you can’t seem to read – I will deal with only a few of these examples. I explicitly asked you name a SINGLE Catholic Tradition that has been placed OVER the Word of God. This list is from an anti-Catholic book from the 19th century by Catholic-hater, Loeaine Boettner called, Roman...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    I haven’t “dodged” anything. I have warned you quite clearly that your false doctrine of Sola Scriptura is Biblically-untenable. In other words – it goes AGAINST Scripture. YOUR heresy oof refusing to worship God in the Holy Spirit is based on your WRONG. First of all - you alone are NOT the...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    Absolute nonsense. You can’t name a SINGLE Catholic Tradition that jas been placed OVER the Word of God. On the contrary - it is Protestantism that invented unbiblical doctrines such as: Sola Scriptura Sola Fide Eternal Security Limited Atonement Imputed righteousness Denominations etc. More...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    In post #172 – YOU stated the following unbiblical claim: “We are to pray to the Father alone.” Not only does the bible NEVER make this claim – I showed you that the word, “Pray” is used for more than just communicating with God. Never ONCE did I male the claom that I was giving you Biblical...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    WRONG. There were MANY individual and unofficial “canons” floating around until the 4th century. Most pf them included Books that were later regarded as apocryphal and uninspired writings. Books like the Gospel of Peter, Epistles of Barnabas, The Shepherd of Hermas, Protoevangelium of James and...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    Jesus condemned the Pharisees – NOT for their traditions – but for placing them ABOVE God and nullifying His Word. ALL faithful Jews – including Jesus - practiced and believed in tradition (Matt. 2:23, Matt 23:2, 1 Cor. 10:4, 2 Timothy 3:8, Jude 9). Not only does the Church NOT place Tradition...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    This is precisely WHY I gave you the definition of “Pray”. It means to “ASL”. However, it ALSO means “to address GOD in WORSHIP”: Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary: Full Definition of pray transitive verb 1: entreat, implore —often used as a function word in introducing a question...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    Yes - a LOT of people ignorantly believe that God dropped Bibles our of the sky . . . Je left us a CHURCH to lead and teach - NOT a Book.

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    This is the problem with Sola Scriptura. IF everything we believe MUST come from Scripture – then YOU are a heretic for believing in Sola Scriptura because it is NOT taught. As I educated you earlier – the Holy Spirit is GOD – and the Scriptures affirm this (John 14:16-18, Acts 5:3-4) . Show me...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    That's a silly argument . . . Soooo, every U.S. President is “illegitimate” because he may NOT have seen eye-to-eye with a predecessor? Is that a limitation that YOU have placed on legitimate succession?? Apostolic Succession is just what it says: Apostolic SUCCESSION. One who SUCCEEDS a...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    Absolutely - for those of you who have NO faith. However, when you trust Jesus and believe His promise that His Church would not succumb to darkness - then Apostolic Succession is very easy to understand.

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    I know you’re just being silly because asking animals to intercede for is found nowhere in Scripture. Intercession from fellow members of the Body of Christ IS (1 Tim. 2:1-3, Col. 1:24, Rev. 5:8). Oh, and Apostolic Succession isn't passed through family lineage - but through succession of...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    First of all – Jesus never instructed us to pray to the Father “Alone”. He taught us HOW to pray to Him. Rp “PRAY” simply means to “ASK”” Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary: Full Definition of pray transitive verb 1: entreat, implore —often used as a function word in introducing a...

    The Bible is Father-Centric not Christo-Centric

    RELICS: In Acts 19:11-12, we see miracles being performed through Paul in Ephsus. We see healings and spirits being expelled using Paul’s aprons and handkerchiefs. In 2 Kg 13:20-21, we read about a dean man being brought back to life by coming in contact with the bones of Ellisha. INRECESSION...

    The Bible is Father-Centric not Christo-Centric

    I didn’t “omit” anything. I simply said: “Deal with the ones I DID give you - THEN, I'll explain the rest.” In post #218 - YOU had responded to my post #213, where I gave a Bible Lesson on the fact that Paul was a Catholic. You have YET to challenge my Biblical evidence . . .

    The Bible is Father-Centric not Christo-Centric

    Since you are hesitant to address my overwhelming Biblical proof – please explain just the following few examples: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are GOD. Rev. 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” Rev. 22:13 – (Jesus...

    The Bible is Father-Centric not Christo-Centric

    I beg to differ . . . In 1 Cor. 11:27-30 – Paul talks about those who profane the sacrament – and the consequences of “eating and drinking JUDGEMENT on themselves.” Why would he level such a harsh warning on something that is NOT sacred? In John 6, when Jesus first mentioned the practice of...
