Bible alone

[theefaith]

Sorry, he is the final priest as Paul clearly teaches. They don't teach Hebrews in catechism?

Hebrews does not say final priest

priests are necessary for the sacraments

the promise or sacred oaths of God


The promise (sacred oath or sacrament) of the Father acts 2:38-39 with reference to ez 36:25-27

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Ez 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Jn 3:5 born again by water and the spirit.

Heb 7:21 For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec
(Oath = sacrament)

Hebrews 8:6
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. Based on Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:



A promise is a sacred oath or sacrament!
Baptismal regeneration is the promise of the Father for union in the new covenant!

The church and the seven sacraments are necessary for salvation

Better covenant on better promises

2 Timothy 1:1
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

Life of supernatural grace merited by Christ in His passion and death!

An oath to sacramental life in the new covenant in union with the mediator and communion with God, and the saints!

Promise of the Father acts 2:23-39
Promise is an oath and an oath is a sacrament! This promise of the sacrament of baptism refers to ez. 36:25-27

1 Pet 3:20
Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us!
(Ark of Noah a type of the church, member of Christ and his church and salvation by baptism!)
(Outside the ark all died and outside the church there is no salvation!)


Jn 10:10 life, (grace more abundantly)
Jn 1: 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Thru the sacraments!

 

[theefaith]

You forgot the biggie ... Christ alone is the head of man!

Joseph was administrator under pharaoh

Moses was meditator of the old covenant and had 72 helpers And successors

Matt 16:18 eph 2:20 Jn 20:21-23

18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

You CANNOT give the keys (authority) to a confession but to a person! Peter
Vs 19 unto thee (Peter) thou shalt bind (Peter) thou shalt loose (Peter)

Only the one true church founded by Christ on Peter and the apostles and their successors and those members of Christ by faith and baptism United with them, the communion of the saints

Rom 13:2
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
(If it applies to civil authority, how much more to religious authority)

 

[theefaith]

Yes, period. Thank you. This is in stark contrast to the RCC denomination, which has no authority.

Yes, men and women equally share in the saving grace of Christ but only one has Scriptural authority over the other. Stop confusing the subject of authority with anything else.

Order is always established in obedience to hierarchical authority

 

[Wrangler]

Christ founded the church on Peter!

No. Christ founded the church on himself. One way we know this is that the church is not called Peterians. It is called Christians.

 

[theefaith]

If the RCC would come to grips with reality on this one point, there would be a lot more harmony in Christendom. The holy church does usurp Christ’s authority and the Great Schism and Protestant Reformation are great reactions to that usurpation.

Compare and contrast how the Apostles handled the controversy of circumcision with how the RCC unilaterally added the filioque.

Matt 16:18 matt 18:18

Whatsoever (all things) you ( the apostles) bind on earth is bound in heaven

 

[Wrangler]

Order is always established in obedience to hierarchical authority

Agreed. Disorder is always established by violating hierarchical authority. In this case, RCC violating Christ's authority.

 

[Wrangler]

Matt 16:18 matt 18:18

Whatsoever (all things) you ( the apostles) bind on earth is bound in heaven

Right. Apostles, not their successors.

 

[theefaith]

No. Christ founded the church on himself. One way we know this is that the church is not called Peterians. It is called Christians.

thats cos Christ is the founder

Agreed. Disorder is always established by violating hierarchical authority. In this case, RCC violating Christ's authority.

there the so called reformation in a nutshell
Rebellion

 

[CadyandZoe]

feminism and woman’s lib is from communism even in the communists manifesto

So you are accusing my wife of being a feminist and a communist? You don't know her at all. Whatever credibility you thought you had just dropped out of the bottom of the wet sack you were carrying.

 

[CadyandZoe]

there is only one savior yes but the church is necessary for salvation

Negative. The gifts of the Spirit are a big help, e.g. Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Teacher and Preacher. These are a big help. But God can save someone riding in a taxi in a foreign country, hearing the gospel from a fare.

But we DON'T need your evil authoritarian institution. Sorry.

 

[CadyandZoe]

Hebrews does not say final priest.

Sure it does. Remember? Once for all.

priests are necessary for the sacraments

Sacramentalism is a false Catholic innovation designed to enslave Christians into paganism again.

Better covenant on better promises

it’s not a bible study, it’s a covenant
And requires an outward sign and ritual
Baptism as God promised and gave prophecy in the OT

now show me “faith alone” in the OT
No prophecy
No prefigured
No promise

faith and baptism Mk 16:16

 

[ScottA]

Christ founded the church on Peter!

That is a spiritless misunderstanding.

Jesus only used Peter's experience of receiving knowledge from the Father as an example of what He would build His church upon. It was a lesson (if you can receive it) on just how His next dispensation by the Spirit would occur, just as it was foretold by Joel the prophet.

Peter, the apostles and their successors have the same authority, power, and mission! Jn 20:21 as my father sent me, even so send I you!

The apostles are Christ’s successors!
They have authority to send others as well, apostle means one who is sent!

Therefore the apostles have authority to send more apostles or successors!
Apostolic succession!

The nations still need to be taught, disciples still need to be baptized and the church the new covenant kingdom of christ still needs to be governed!

Hebrews 3:1
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
