You do have a different Bible.
All modern Bibles that say that openly debunk Jesus in John 10.
Carefully notice that the KJV never called anyone a shepherd in the N.T.
The modern versions are ignorantly and purposefully contradictory, proving bias over fact.(the translators believed they too are shepherds of Jesus' flock).
People have built churches on one...By the way, you NEVER make a doctrine out of one passage of scripture. Not ever.
Jesus is not the one Shepherd of John 10...not ever?By the way, you NEVER make a doctrine out of one passage of scripture. Not ever.
If I may, folks...
BOL is necessary and fun to chat with.
If you ignore his brashness and endless insults, he can help bring more truth to the forum(by making us critically think about his off the wall concepts, then get correct answers).
It is important to allow folks to post their religious ideas, even if the only way they know how to do it is from the septic tank of their minds.
I have seen some amazing FOUNDATIONAL truths revealed from arguing and insults in previous forums, so I just ignore the verbal vomit and concentrate on the subject matter.
These forums will give you more info than any seminary can offer.
If you reject the Nicene/Constantinople Creeds then you reject the book of Acts. You can't have it both ways. The Church is apostolic because Christ founded it upon the Apostles. the selection of Matthias to succeed Judas (Acts 1:16-26). That includes taking note that the word for “office” in 1:20 is episkopos: the word for “bishop.” Thus, we have some sort of equation of apostles and bishops, which is necessary, for we believe that bishops are indeed the successors of (but not identical to) the apostles.Truth is "venom" now?
Exposing everything I know about as a former Roman Catholic is "venom"?
I trow not.
And yes, Acts is my birthright.
I follow Acts exclusively, not creeds and commentary.
You sound angry!!!WOW... that is about all I can say... and your defence will undoubtedly win to keep him here ... the fact that you enjoy this rude banter is well.... INTERESTING.... I will just make a note to stay out of conversations that the two of you engage in... HOWEVER... with respect to common courtesy... I think these fowl exchanges would do better in private message... but WHATEVER... I can't take back the fact that I contacted Administration already... How sad that you promote engaging with someone who is ARROGANT and RUDE with his words.
This little lamb is so confused at what Christians seem to think is ACCEPTABLE behaviour.
You sound angry!!!
Why do you care so much about a conversation between @BreadOfLife and @Truther and @Illuminator that has nothing to do with you? Why don’t you just join? Or is your goal to divide everyone?
I enjoy the bantering. It helps me see both sides of an argument.
Curious Mary
I guess the question is why DID you join the discussion if you are so “appalled”?Why would I want to join a discussion such as this?? It started out being a good discussion... and then it went sideways....
As Paul stated:If this is a Catholic based site... I will be the FIRST to ask to leave... I have not lied about the Catholic church... I have only stated that I LOATHED it and I refuse to talk about it.... MY contact with you is NOT about the CATHOLIC church... it's about you being RUDE and ARROGANT with how you address a great many people on here. I do not understand why you are ALLOWED to carry on as you do... In my opinion... you should be BANNED... You cause strife and promote division. I consider it my Christian duty to stand against this. Below is a definition of strife. NOTE that it is always accompanied by PRIDE. You are on a dangerous plateau... You are at a place where you refuse to humble yourself and allow your spirit to be teachable. That is not a place that is PLEASING to GOD. HE actually REBUKES a person who causes strife. I may be new here... but I know a few things about communication.
Strife can develop when a difference of opinion becomes the priority in a relationship. Strife is always accompanied by pride and an unteachable spirit in one or both parties. Proverbs 13:10 says, “Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.” When someone refuses to consider another viewpoint and demands his own way, strife results. Someone bent on strife will not allow compromise, negotiation, or humility. Strife alienates friends, divides families, and destroys churches.
* I have brought this to the attention of Administration... as this abusive behaviour of yours is NOT acceptable... in any way... shape or form...
and you are not representing how a Christian is commanded to behave.
edited... You are lucky to have an opponent who is gracious... and has stuck up for you... I have removed my complaint... of which I know you do NOT care. It is so sad to see how people use the word CHRISTIAN so loosely... with no care to behave in a God pleasing way. Anyways... you still don't intimidate me.... and there is nothing more that I would love to do than face off against you... but I will take the high road and simply leave you be.
I see you’re still under the delusion that the Bride of Christ is your online paramilitary cult - “aggressivechristianity.net”.Yes in that you have spoken the truth and so declared that the Catholic church is not His bride, Well done didnt think it was possible for you to speak the truth.
And so it is with all mens religions daughters of the harlot.
I see.
Jesus commanded a new, easier form of baptism....splashing babies over the head.
As I educated you before – walking “down” into a river or lake is a matter of simple physics.36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 And when they were come up out of the water,...
Yes, that promise (Acts 2:39) is the gift of the Holy Spirit – that comes from WATER BAPTISM.That promise is the Holy Ghost, not water baptism.
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high...
....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.
You are silly again.Yes, that promise (Acts 2:39) is the gift of the Holy Spirit – that comes from WATER BAPTISM.
When Nicodemus asked Jesus how a man is born AGAIN - Jesus responded:
John 3:5
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of WATER AND THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Pretty SIMPLE stuff, Einstein . . .
I see, they both went down INTO the water, then came up OUT OF the water to get a cup of water....LOLAs I educated you before – walking “down” into a river or lake is a matter of simple physics.
Nobody walks “UP” into the water, Einstein. You walk DOWN into a lake and come UP out of a lake.
It has ZERO to do with total immersion.
Oh – and you DIDN’T address the fact that there is not ONE example of the wording of a Baptism ceremony in ALL of Scripture.
ALL we have is the command from Jesus, which true Christians obey:
Matt. 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”
