What is truth?

[Matthias]

the Holy Spirit is also divine

“Even among adherents of the Nicene orthodoxy an uncertainty still for a time prevailed respecting the doctrine of the third person of the Holy Trinity. Some held the Spirit to be an impersonal power or attribute of God; others, at farthest, would not go beyond the expressions of the Scriptures. Gregory of Nazianzen, who, for his own part believed and taught the consubstantiality of the Holy Spirit with the Father and the Son, so late as 380 made the remarkable concession: ‘Of the wise among us, some consider the Holy Ghost an influence, others a creature, others God himself, and again others know not which way to decide, from reverence, as they say, for the Holy Scripture, which declares nothing exact in the case. For this reason they waver between worshipping and not worshipping the Holy Ghost, and strike a middle course, which is in fact, a bad one.”

(Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, §128 The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit)

HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH*

Many Protestant’s aren’t familiar with Gregory of Nazianzen but I think that you, a Roman Catholic, probably are. He’s a major figure in Roman Catholicism / Church history.

The church in the 4th century was still struggling with the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Why?

 

[Jim B]

I would not want to be called a Jew!

hard hearted
Perfidious rejectors of their own salvation
Killers of Christ the only savior of the world
Their house is desolate Matt 23:38

You've posted these lies before -- and they remain lies! Every single author of the "books" of the Bible (with the sole exception of Luke) was a Jew! Jesus was a Jew!!!

Saying that Jews are "hard hearted" is condemning the people whom God chose as His own. They are the root of the tree; you are a grafted-in branch!

Romans 11:16-21, "If the first portion of the dough [the Jews] offered is holy, then the whole batch is holy, and if the root is holy, so too are the branches.

Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among them and participated in the richness of the olive root, do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you. Then you will say, “The branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” Granted! They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but fear! For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps he will not spare you."

As I have written before, the Romans killed Jesus!!! Your clear anti-Semitic hatred has so distorted your mind that you don't even know what the Bible says!!!

I don't want to be you when you face the Lord and try to explain your clear hatred of God's people!!! Even your beloved non-virgin Mary was a Jew!!! Better pray to her and ask for forgiveness for your clear hatred of her and her people!

 

[Jim B]

Listen, theefaith, if you hate Jews, you hate...

Your beloved (non-virgin) Mary (actually Miriam)
Her firstborn: the Messiah, Jesus Christ!
All the apostles!
Every single author of the "books" of the Bible (except Luke)
God's chosen people, the "root of the tree" that supports you.

Now read what the great apostle Paul, a Jew, wrote, then get on your knees and pray to God to forgive your blasphemies!!! Perhaps He will, but perhaps He won't!!!

"For I could wish that I myself were accursed—cut off from Christ—for the sake of my people, my fellow countrymen, who are Israelites. To them belong the adoption as sons, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple worship, and the promises. To them belong the patriarchs, and from them, by human descent, came the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever! Amen." Romans 9:3-5

If you hate Jews, you hate the Savior!!!

 

[theefaith]

See those Jews who didn’t. The earliest Church was comprised almost exclusively with Jews who believed that “their brother Jesus” is the Messiah promised and raised up by his and their God.

Lk 1:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.

Jn 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Jn 1:30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

John brought them to Jesus

Jesus is the Lord their God!

 

[theefaith]

Yes, and the Church was a sect of Judaism; Jewish.

Lk 1:68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,

69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;

Jesus visited and redeemed the people, Jesus is the horn of salvation!

Jesus is eternal God!

 

[theefaith]

The God of the Jews wants all people - Jews and Gentiles alike - to be saved.

Matt 5: 21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, (by God) Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Only God gave the commandments only God can change them!

 

[theefaith]

And what of the Old Testament? Also written by Jews.

As a Roman Catholic, don’t you also accept other writings of Jews as canonical?

those canonized by the church
Ever read Dan 13?

John 11:25
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

Only God can be this!

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Only God!

God breathe’s life!

1st creation:

Genesis 2:7
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

New creation:

John 20:22
And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

 

[Jim B]

Lk 1:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.

Jn 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Jn 1:30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

John brought them to Jesus

Jesus is the Lord their God!

So now you're retreating from your previous anti-Semitism? What is your position regarding the Jewish people and Christ? One day you hate them, the next day you acknowledge them. What is your position regarding the Jews??

The apostles, who were all Jews, were Christ’s successors! There are no Catholic apostles! Scripture doesn't mention them anywhere.

Christ is the truth and only Protestantism teaches the truth without error! The Catholic denomination teaches one lie after another and has a history of murdering those who don't submit to its false authority and false doctrine.

Christian rule of faith is the Bible alone, not the false doctrines of men! Sola scriptura!

“It is impossible to document what we now call orthodoxy in the first two centuries of Christianity; heresy often appears more prominently, so much so that orthodoxy looks like a reaction to it. But we can document orthodoxy for all the centuries since then - in other words, for close to seventeen centuries of the church’s existence.”

(Harold O.J. Brown, Heresies: Heresy And Orthodoxy In The History Of The Church, p. 5)

So what is the prominent “heresy” which our trinitarian author says orthodoxy is a reaction to? Jewish unitary monotheism.

The church was still struggling to educate and enforce the formulated doctrine of the Holy Spirit because it was gradually moving away from Jewish belief about the Holy Spirit.

 

[Matthias]

Lk 1:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.

Jn 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Jn 1:30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

John brought them to Jesus

Jesus is the Lord their God!

John the Baptist is a Jewish prophet. Jesus of Nazareth is a Jewish prophet. The children of Israel were Jews. This is a Jewish story, not a trinitarian story.

“The Lord their God” is the God of John the Baptist, the God of Jesus of Nazareth, the God of the children of Israel / the Jews. “The Lord their God” isn’t Jesus of Nazareth, nor the Trinity. “The Lord their God,” as has been demonstrated, is the Father.

Trinitarianism is still centuries away from our Jewish story.

 

[Matthias]

those canonized by the church

The Church canonized writings of Jews - see your personal thoughts on the Jews.

Ever read Dan 13?

Yes. And 14.

John 11:25
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

Only God can be this!

Only a Jewish man can be this; the man Jesus Christ.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Only God!

Only a Jewish man.

God breathe’s life!

Okay.

1st creation:

Genesis 2:7
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

The Jewish man’s God.

New creation:

John 20:22
And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

Yes. The Jewish man has a prominent role in the new creation.

The church in the 4th century was still struggling with the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Why?

Nicene Creed!

We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,
begotten from the Father before all ages,
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made; one in being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven; he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, and was made man. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried. The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will never end.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life. He proceeds from the Father and the Son, and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified. He spoke through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and to life in the world to come. Amen.
