Why was there a reformation?

[Marymog]

You are being obtuse. There is a difference between following the teachings of Christ, which we all do now compared actually following the man.

The passages I cited indicate the reputation of Jesus spread and people were following his teachings - even to the point of having divine power to cast out demons.

But what did Jesus say when his Apostles told them to stop? The answer is religious Liberty. I look forward to you becoming a Protestant now. LOL

Oh goodness Wrangler,

Just because a man THINKS he is following the teachings of Christ doesn't mean he is. Every denomination thinks they are following the teachings of Christ but every denomination has a different interpretation of that teaching.....a different interpretation of The Truth. Sooooo your theory is not workable.

How do you equate the ability of men to cast out demons in the name of Jesus to be the same as men who are follow His teachings?? The passage literally says that the person casting out demons is not following Jesus. That is why the Apostles said to Jesus we forbade him because he does not follow us. It LITERALLY says that the person casting out demons DID NOT FOLLOW JESUS..... They had the ability to cast out demons in the name of Jesus and Jesus told his apostles he was OK with that. Do you think Jesus would be OK with that person twisting His words into something he didn't mean? You are confusing ability to do something IN His name to freedom to read Scripture and interpret it into your own truth.

Since your theory is opposite of what Scripture teaches I will not join you in your Protestant revolution.

Oh goodness Wrangler,

Just because a man THINKS he is following the teachings of Christ doesn't mean he is.

Jesus said not to tell those who are extracting demons in his name to stop. That’s good enough for me.

 

[Marymog]

Jesus said not to tell those who are extracting demons in his name to stop. That’s good enough for me.

Yup, and that's good enough for me also. Casting out demons in his name doesn't equal religious freedom kiddo. That is an ability to do something in His name. Twisting Scripture to make it say what our itching ears want to hear is not religious freedom. What you believe is opposite of what scripture teaches.

 

[Wrangler]

Casting out demons in his name doesn't equal religious freedom kiddo.

Jesus telling his Apostles NOT to stop these people IS religious freedom, kiddo!

I’m just so glad Jesus is my lord and not you or your 11th century institution.

Satan’s seething hatred for God, Christ and his holy church continues in the person of luther a Freemason Rosa crucian occultist atttacking God and his church and his truth of course!

The rotten tree of the so called reformation bringing forth rotten fruit of false doctrine of “Faith alone” & “Bible alone” pure spiritual blindness!

Socialism / naturalism is the fruit of the reformation! As well as modern atheism: reason apart from revealed Divine faith!
And
Fundamentalism: faith apart from reason!

These are the modern errors and the fruits of the so called reformation!

All of these are rebelling against Christ and his church, and against family, society, and civil government!
And again all proper authority!

The reformation is only an extension of Satan’s rebellion against God, Christ and His holy church!

The so called reformation is an evil tree putting forth Posionous fruit!

Doctrines of devils leading to rebellion against all Divinely revealed authority!

Protestant rebellion against the divinely instituted authority of the church!
Fundamentalist rebellion against reason!
Atheist rebellion against faith!
Socialism rebellion against marrige, and family, the fabric of society!
Communism rebellion against the divinely instituted authority of civil government, God given rights, and private property!

All the bitter fruits of the so called reformation! Better known as the great rebellion!

Matthew 7:18
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Lk 1:38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

Mary brought forth the good fruit of salvation!

Tell me, if you did not have the protestant church to rail against and criticize, what would you do all day?

You mean Protestant sects not a church
There is only one church founded by Christ on Peter and the apostles Matt 16:18 Jn 10:16

Marymog got that one all wrong . That man was following the teachings of JESUS , HE just was not with them .
He knew JESUS , HE believed in CHRIST .
He had just been casting out demons in another town was all .
marymog has this one all wrong . NO ONE that does not follow Christ in heart , can truly cast out demons .
I will pray for marymog . I have seen many a sold out false one teach this the way marymog did
and then they include it to mean those who dont even know JESUS , dont even know the gospel , and that somehow they KNOW GOD .
What a lie this is . ITS MORE of that ALL INCLUSIVE MUMBO JUMBO FALSE DOCTRINE .

You and @Wrangler are WRONG again Kiddo. Not only does Marymog disagree with your theory but Jesus does also:

Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Easy , easy does it . Me and wrangler dont agree on the GOD head . Just cause Rome has that right
dont mean i follow them either . MANY within the protestant realm are tanked
they are big on casting out demons and doing romes all inclusive led lie , BUT BOTH are infected with a lie .
So let me sum it up real simple .
FAITH without works is DEAD , and works without faith IS DEAD TOO .
CORNELIOUS . READ Acts chapters ten , eleven and fifteen real close .
Cause pope francis has a demon of all inclusion all over him and you all and no one better heed that man .
IT says , that muslims and buddists , atheists and etc Are saved and do know GOD if they have good works and lovey lovey .
FALSE .
CORNELIOUS .
Remember CORNELIOUS .
The man worshipped THE ONE TRUE GOD . HE Did many prayers and many good alms ,
Yet HE had to come to FAITH IN JESUS TO BE SAVED . And any false religion , IF it was truly converted to CHRIST
would then DENOUNCE ITS OLD RELIGOIN . BINGO . folks stop following men and start learning JESUS .

That other man , BELEIVED IN JESUS . The reason JESUS rebuked his own desciples
was cause they had shut that man down because they were not in the same group .
IT would be like if i was preaching JESUS and casting out demons
and then another good church shut me down cause i was not sitting in their church .
NOW THAT WOULD BE WRONG TO DO SO .
BUT that man was a BELIEVER IN JESUS . POPE francis is a liar and of darkness . NEVER HEED that man .
NEVER HEED A WORD IT SAYS . Even some catholics are waking up to that fact . Francis is deadly dangerous
as is kenneth copeland and tons of protestants . WE NEED TO BE DUG IN OUR BIBLES and fast .

Which has nothing to do with Jesus endorsing religious liberty of those who do these things - though not a part of his church. Notice what Jesus says here, only those who do the will of my Father (shall be saved)". Jesus does not say, only those part of the 11th century institution will be saved.

Lol...hold on....HOLD ON Amigo!!! Here is what the passage we are debating says: “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.”

And YOU twist that into 'Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he IS NOT PART OF OUR GROUP.”

Fascinating......Soooooo according to you Jesus was ok with this "someone" casting out demons in His name even though he wasn't hanging out in their "group"? You think that the "someone" who was casting out was a follower of Jesus teaching's and that is why he was able to cast out demons? Even though Jesus said about those casting out demons ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ That is a bit confusing. According to your theory..... Jesus is contradicting himself. Or you are contradicting was Scripture teaches.

It's pretty easy to figure out. That "someone" was in fact casting out demons is His name. But he wasn't following the teachings of Jesus. That is why the Apostles said "he was not following us". Following doesn't literally mean being in the same group.....that's silly.

Tell me, if you did not have the protestant church to rail against and criticize, what would you do all day?

You got it backwards marksman. The Catholic Church was teaching doctrine/dogma/truth etc before the Protestant churches came up with their multiple different doctrine's/dogmas/truth etc.

Sooooo it is you protestants who, for the last 500 years, have railed against and criticize the teachings of The Church. We just continue to repeat adn defend the same thing we have for the last 2,000 years. We are on the defense....of the truth. You are on the attack.

Keeping it real.....mary

 

[Reggie Belafonte]

As has been noted on this forum, we’ve got almost as many different beliefs as there are people it seems, and the question that came up about today being Reformation Day, has been why did the Reformation happen??

its quite simple actually, people teaching the gospel without knowing the gospel. As a result, you end up with an ever changing gospel. We see this in galatians 1:6.

i thought some fellow presbyterians might be able to answer this question much better than me though. Enjoy and learn.

Protestantism was created by political people with an agenda for themselves.
The RCC was corrupt by the same, as always is all Churches.

There is only one True Church and it's called the Catholic Church and many Protestant Churches claim to be the Catholic Church, well they have to because If one does not believe they are Catholic, well that means they are not worthy of Christ Jesus.

I remember that The Lutheran Church always had written on pamphlets etc that it was the Catholic Church. and the same with the Church of England as such always had the same claim.

So within all Churches regardless is a Mob who are not worthy of Christ Jesus and they work to undermine Christ Jesus, over my life time I have seen my Church the Church of England become sick and then become a joke now and the same can be said for the Lutheran Church and the RCC has changed it's spots as well to become a Joke. I have been involved with other Churches as well Methodist for one and boy is that a joke.

One thing they all have in common is that they all do not abide in Jesus Christ in fact overall, but for a few people within any Church that is truly born again. we can find True worthy Christians anywhere, but up top is Corrupted, as it always has been, because it's a business first to them. Not all up in high positions are corrupted tho.

Narrow is the gate and there be few that find it.
Many preach a wide gate and all will find it, like just call on the name of Jesus and you are saved ? well that's tampering with the reality, because one always calls everyday when one is Saved. because one is with Christ Jesus. It's not a one off claim like so many peddle. Oh I called on the name once, so I am saved bro, what BS ! many have done such and have turned away from Jesus Christ and just look to all the Priest who are total trash. child molesters for one and backing up such people and not to mention hiding them from being exposed full on, Not to mention they are poofters and total supporters of all such nowadays 100%. funny that, because only 10 years ago and going back 2000 years and beyond, such a one preaching such nonsense would loose the lot of the flock and be kicked out of Town before he knew it.
Jesus said that he was not of this world, because it is full of deceptions and under delusions, that's why one must be truly born again to enter into the Kingdom of God. That's the Key.
The Churches are of "this" world and that's the major problem. One must come out from them, because they are a curse.

how do we become born again?

 

[Reggie Belafonte]

how do we become born again?

One I know who makes such claims has a list, and he himself can make one born again.

But as for me, I just seek for many years and then he just turned up out of the blue and bingo I was Saved, just like that, 100% faith in Jesus Christ ! not 99% faith.
It was because I knew who he truly was.

Now I thought I knew who he was due to others and etc, all the worldly point's of views, but This one can not explain into words so much, you have to experience such to truly understand.
True Christianity is a relationship with Jesus Christ himself. he is with you and will never leave one who is truly born again.
It's just like the second coming will be to all who are alive at the Coming.

Now I had much faith as anyone I ever knew before hand in Jesus being the Christ, but I was filled with the Holy Spirit with no doubt from that point on, I could not turn back, I was Saved !
You know I read the Bible everyday for years before that day.
I was raised to be a Christian from my family, so I do not remember not being a Christian and I went to Church and Bible study and Loved that ! But when I was truly Saved then I had to come out from them. Only Jesus Christ was my Salvation from then on, I did not need them and their worldly religion dribble anymore. such as them only made me feel ill, for they are so wrapped up in worldly works, not to mention them who preach about worldly works in fact do so themselves, only they do not understand that they are doing so.

Look, as to our regards the only thing worthy of God is to do his will. abide in him and the works done are in his Name only, it's not of ourselves at all but is from him. we do not abide in Mans works, such things can be burnt up, because they are not worthy of God in fact they don't cut it.

No one can burn up what is Christ Jesus at all, it stands forever regardless. It's the power of the Holy Spirit.
No one can take on the Holy Spirit ! No one not even the Devil himself could, the poor tempting bastard lost directly ! Jesus wiped the floor with him.
