Appears as if you meant to say, you can bash Protestants beliefs, and Protestants personally as well as any Catholic.
Religion?
Glory to God,
Taken
***Appears as if you meant to say, you can bash Protestants beliefs, and Protestants personally as well as any Catholic.
As I have said many times, I fellowship with the Baptists, the Lutherans, the Pentecosts, the Catholics, the Glad Tidings Assembly of God, Mormons, the Moravian Church and nearly a dozen non-denominational churches and I have had Jewish friends for most of my adult life. That does not mean I agree with any one belief and I may disagree with what they believe and still fellowship with them and stand and worship with them.
***********************************************************
...you only know the first 65 years of Christianity
...God has not chosen one of the 30,000 Protestant denominations to endorse
...God does not endorse any of them
...You know..not the story of Christianity over the last 2000 years
...It is almost like the Bible is a curse for them
Mary... The Catholics do not worship her as a God...but they do worship her and I worship her.
... God that told the Catholic to hold her in reverence.
...The Bible ...is all the Protestants have.
...they have produced a static religion,
All of the above is true.
***********************************************************
*So again which one of the tens of thousands of opinions do you believe?
Religion?
Yes religion.
*James 1:
*[27] Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
*Opinion?
*[21] Let me not ... accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
*Your church has a title; "Catholic"
*Your church members have titles; "Catholics"
*Your church established its own "doctrine"
*Your members accept your chosen man; "Pope"
*"I" DO NOT accept, what "you" have chosen to accept.
And here we go….love without respect. The Bible indicates that respecting anyone is a sin. So the Bible subscribes to love without respect. You can look this up…several scriptures….and keep in mind that the Greek word for favor…favorite….or favoritism does not occur in the New Testament, anywhere. Along with this the scripture that you must hate your mother and father and wife etc, it defines love without respect. This is something that the Apostles got wrong. A misunderstanding that was corrected by the Catholic Church, directly or by example,
*I do not "have" a church.
*My Lord Jesus "has" a Church.
*I "joined" and am a "member" of Christ Jesus' Church.
*I have neither title, nor gave He whom I follow, His Title.
A church of one. Is there a scripture that says everyone should have their own opinion of what the scriptures mean and start their own one person church…..Millions and millions of one person churches with different opinions. Or millions and millions of one person churches connected to the body of Christ’s Church….sounds like a cancer to me.
*Matt 16:
*[17] Jesus ...said...
*[18] ...I will build my church;
Your scriptures are incomplete.
*Doctrine?
*I didn't make up a Doctrine.
*I do not adhere to MADE-UP doctrines of men
Heads up! You are man, with a belief…so…
*********************************************************
Mary?
*I Trust the Truth (Jesus)... that He is the Supreme Teacher of Gods Doctrine. That: obedience to Gods Doctrine is through the individual's heart. (NOT, by or through Titles).
Worship?
I worship "ONLY" the Lord God Almighty.
Phil 3:
[3] ...we ...worship God in the spirit...
Rev 22:
[9]... worship God.
Human, born in sin, Faithful, was called to serve the Lord God, faithfully served, Blessed among women, became Saved and Born Again. Her Saved soul and Quickened spirit in Heaven With other Saved souls and Quickened spirits.
Her Body returning to dust, along with other body's (of Saved souls and Quickened spirits) awaiting, to be redeemed, and risen UP in a glorious body.
First off I reject the whole born in sin thing. Secondly my grandpa died and his body turned to dust. But he does not come back and serve the Lord to deliver messages and perform miracles, nor was he taken to heaven while still alive. God does this on occasion as with Elijah.
As it is by now probably over 100,000 witnesses to visitations and over a thousand miracles. No one tied God up or gagged Him. 2000 years of interactions with people of the faith. But you would no nothing of that because you reject Christian history….except the first 65 years. God had more things to say, some things were misunderstanding of the Apostles or misunderstandings of the scriptures.
Some of this was done by Christ’s mother.
***********************************************************
*Love?
*God "IS" Love.
*Men can ONLY "express" Love.
Agreed, men can only express love without respect.
******************************************************
My Carnal Mind has the Power to conjour up Truth and Lies...and Expel those those Truths or Lies out of my mouth.
However it is The Lords Power, in my Heart, That is the Power to which a man CAN express True Love of a Friend or Enemy.
You and I are Not friends. Which leaves us as enemies.
I do not by "my Power", Love you, But by the Power of God, (I Chose to Submit and Commit to)... Love you...expressly BY and THROUGH HIS Power.
Enemies….Maybe so…I am a Christian and like you I am non-denominational. I have strong beliefs against hate. My ministry is to support Christians and protect Christians. My ministry is to oppose those that hate, to oppose those that condemn, and those that would slander God…basically the characteristics of Satan. So seeing what your character is…yes we are enemies.
******************************************
You saying you love Protestants as your opening statement, before you begin detailing how God rejects Protestants...
I have no problems pointing out the errors in every denomination…Catholic or Protestant. Ninety percent of the time when I am in church it is a Protestant Church. And I did not say He rejects Protestants. The history of the Catholic Church is full of direct communications…I just posed the question, why not the Protestants…You do not believe He can appear or communicate?
The Bible provides information about the first 65 years of Christianity, but Christianity did not stop at the end of the Bible and God did not retire. The Bible can be interpreted in many ways. If it were a traffic manual it would not be safe to drive on the roads, everyone having different beliefs of the laws. But the miracle of the Bible is that it can lead a person to salvation, regardless of their beliefs of the details. Salvation is between a person and Christ, no Church or denomination has control of salvation.
But with tens of thousands of denominations and millions of non-denominationals…where could you possibly begin to start judging and condemning the beliefs of others…you could not get that done in lifetime. Why not love Christians. I may not agree with what people believe but I see them all as children of God.
