Christ is a supreme
King of all
Christ is God
The Apostles did not think so! If that were true, 1 Cor 11: would not say God is the head of Christ.
the divine nature over his human nature
Not buying it. Not for one second. You are not supposed to change God's word, e.g., insert dual natures. From today's devotional reading.
1 Chronicles 17:20
Complete Jewish Bible
20 Adonai, there is no one like you, and there is no God besides you — everything we have heard confirms that.
there is only one God and one Lord
One divine nature essence
There are many lords in the Bible but only God is the LORD. Jesus is one of many lords. He is the lord of those who follow him. But he is not The LORD. Jesus prayed many times to The LORD and praying to him is how Jesus taught us to pray.
Jesus did not teach us to pray to men, like himself.

Good enough for Angels!
Good enough for the Bible!
Good enough for me!
I have no idea what you are referring to. Bless your heart.
Hail Mary full of Grace
That Grace is for us her spiritual children
So, Jesus died for nothing. His mother is full of grace - not his divine Father - his human mother. And that grace of hers is for us, her spiritual children. We don't even need God, our Father. Mary's the key.
Thanks for enlightening us all with your enlightened doctrine. God bless your heart.
the grace come from the merits of Christ
I never said from Mary but thru MaryThen the grace does not come from Mary.
That is a weak argument for the existence of denominations if i ever saw one. Matt. 16, Eph. 4, and 1 Cor. 1, and Rev. 2-3 clearly teaches that Christ came to build 1 undivided church, and that it is this church Christ works with. Christ is not a polygamist, nor will He ever be a polygamist. Rev. 19 only shows Christ marrying the 1 church He built, not the multitude of false churches man built using His name.Again, you are confounding denomination with 'the one true church.' Since you insist, here is the Biblical support for denomination.
John (to Jesus): 38 Master, we saw another man casting out unclean spirits in Your name, but he was not one of our group. So we told him to stop what he was doing.
Jesus: 39 You shouldn’t have said that. Anyone using My name to do a miracle cannot turn quickly to speak evil of Me. 40 Anyone who isn’t against us is for us. 41 The truth of the matter is this: anyone who gives you a cup of cool water to drink because you carry the name of your Anointed One will be rewarded.
Mark 9:38-41 (VOICE)
Again, Saint John said they told him to stop doing God's work because they weren't part of their group. Jesus said he should not have done that! This means those not part of the original group (denomination) have authority from God and Jesus.
Yeah, the Reformers said their movement was about getting back to the Bible, but the reality is that they protested to form their own apostate religion. If they really concerned themselves with the truth of the Bible, then why did they keep most of the occult festivals and doctrines that were sacred to the Catholic church? I'm sure you wouldn't be able to appreciate the massive irony in posting what Paul said in Gal. 1:8-9, considering Paul would've identified the Reformers as purveyors of the same exact lies he had to fight against in his own day.So is any system that adds man's doings to justification.
Galatians 1:8-9 (NASB) But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!
The Protestant reformation was a protest to get back to Scripture as the final authority, not Councils, decrees and self appointed popes.

Could you mention a few of those 'lies' that touch on justification?Yeah, the Reformers said their movement was about getting back to the Bible, but the reality is that they protested to form their own apostate religion.

I never claim to have perfect doctrine. I allow my beliefs to be adjusted by the Bible accordingly if they're out of sync so the doctrines i believe can be perfect.Could you mention a few of those 'lies' that touch on justification?
Also, do you hold perfect doctrine?
Gosh. If you think Mark 9:38-41 is a weak argument for denomination, please enlighten us with an example of a strong argument for denomination - besides the obvious corruption of the Catholic Church?i don't have to provide an argument in support of denominations because i'm not the one arguing that the Bible supports it. You are. Let's get that straightened out first.
Secondly, the passage you provided as an "argument" doesn't even portray the person the disciples were referring to as being the lead member of a movement that was using Christ's name. Furthermore, the disciples' issue was that they believed that individual had to be part of their group and be given the same authority/approval that they received from Christ in order to cast out demons.
Third, Christ said absolutely nothing that even remotely suggests that He approved of denominations in that passage. His response was solely a reaction to the disciples forbidding that individual from casting out demons and nothing more.
I can't i'm surprised that you don't have any idea, because Protestants can't be bothered to look into anything if it threatens their beliefs. I'm also not surprised at the self righteousness that is on display when you assume i'm "blind to the corruption of the Catholic Church" and that you're not. That being said, i will gladly prove why your confident assumption of me and Protestants aren't founded on truth.I really have no idea how you are connecting these 2 things unless you are totally blind to the corruption of the Catholic Church.
Protestants stopped being Catholic. They did not stop being Christians. Because Protestants are Christians is why they continued to keep most of the occult festivals and doctrines in Christian tradition. Very simple.
Just about everything Protestants cherish about their religion, whether it be doctrines or practices, can be directly traced all the way back to the occult religions condemned by God in the OT.
-The "Christian" cross is in reality a phallic symbol that was used by the Tammuz cult condemned in Ezekiel. Veneration for that cross came from the same cult and is nowhere authorized in scripture. As the God who eventually became Christ said, man was explicitly forbidden from using any created thing as a symbol to represent Him.
- The fish symbol that is commonly believed as being an early Christian symbol came from the Dagun cult; the very same Dagon the Bible describes as the chief god of the Philistines.
- Christmas came from the Baal religion, which cannot be reasoned or argued away on the account of the fact that the festival was placed at the point of the year where the heathens believed Nimrod(symbolized by the sun) returned to life.
- Easter came from the fertility cults the Bible identifies as the worship of Ashtoreth, the "queen of heaven" in Jeremiah, and the same Diana the Ephesians worshiped in the NT. Bunnies and eggs being used as traditional symbols for the holiday came from the heathens associating both with the ritual sex that was very much involved with the devotees of the cult.
The egg hunt tradition derived from the heathen belief that whoever found the egg Semiramis supposedly came to this earth in would be given fortune. The hot cross buns are another disguised act of ritual sex. Devotees of this cult also dressed in the finest cloth on that day, which is clearly also a staple of Protestant tradition in their modern Easter services.
- The popular belief that God's laws were abolished under the New Covenant came from the chief priest of the Babylonian Mystery religion Simon Magus after he was rebuked by Peter in Acts 8. There's no use arguing against this either, because NT passages like 2 Thess. 2:17 and 1 Jhn 2:3-6 show him and his agents at work spreading this doctrine(and other false doctrines that eventually became pillar teachings of Protestantism) throughout various congregations.
- The trinity doctrine doctrine originated in ancient Babylon not too long after Nimrod built the empire that is described in Gen. 10:10-12, and it was certainly most prominent in the Baal religion because it primarily revolved around the worship of Nimrod and his family. This same doctrine was one of the biggest heresies the apostles fought against, even though"Christian" groups have taught it as biblical.
It cannot be honestly argued that Protestants or their traditions are truly Christian when they all too often oppose what is written in the Law and the rest of the Bible. If Protestants reject the Law and practice the customs of occult religions condemned in the Bible, then how exactly does that make them Christians when Christians obey God?
