Remaining Roman Catholic

You don't want me around Yeshua? I thought we were friends. :C

 

Evolve -- yes. Some evolve more than others. My views are much the same as when I started on this forum, but in the last couple of years I have had one significant change that I never thought would happen. I can't discuss that here, but I learned an important lesson.

I believe you and I differ greatly in our theology, and yet I consider you a friend and one of the most sensible and godly people here.

 

My main concern would be that neither the RCC nor the SDA themselves are really NT Churches, as both hold to a non blibical Gospel!

 

We are not to tolerate false doctrines and dogmas though, as Jude sattes that we are to fight for the Faith once and for all delivered to us, and Paul states that any other gospel than the real one is damnable heresy!

 

My views agree with Jesus and the Apostles, does yours?

 

I love to have you around here, just not posting false catholic theology!

 

To Catholic teaching though, would appears that Jesus death gives us a clean slate of past/present sins, but all future sins have to be dealt with thru Sacraments of Grace!

 

And you are with your interpretation of the God's Holy Word? Haaaaaaaaa! That's the funniest thing I'm going to hear all day.

 

When we make use of the sacrament of Confession, we are relying on Jesus Christ and how He offers all of us salvation through His death on the Cross.

 

You don't think the clue might be in the name?

 

My understanding of the Gospel agrees with Paul, the RCC view does not!

 

Did paul confront the heretics? Did peter, did James? Think they would be far less tolerant than I have been!

 

He pretty much blasted at the Pharisees, save for a few who believed in him, as the rest were dead in their sins, and wanted to kill him off!
And when I speal of attacking heretics, its really going against the teachings and theologies expoused by them!

 

True. But, not of recent origin. Consider the following.

Christ Did Not Die for Pope To Be Glorified - C.H. Spurgeon - Girded with Truth

Christ Did Not Die for Pope To Be Glorified – C. H. Spurgeon

Christ Did Not Die for Pope To Be Glorified: Christ did not redeem His Church with His blood that the Pope might come in and steal away the glory! He never came from Heaven to earth and poured out His very heart that He might purchase His people so that a poor sinner, a mere man, should be set upon high to be admired by all the nations and to call himself God’s representative on earth!

The Lord Jesus Christ has always been the Head of His Church

It is not possible for any to be Head in the Church of Christ, but Jesus! Has God exalted Him and made Him to be the Head over all things—and it is usurping the prerogative of Christ for any to suppose they can be Head of the Church of Christ, for Jesus Christ is the Head and He, alone, holds power over ecclesiastical organizations! Over the sacred mystical, blood-bought, redeemed, regenerated Church of Christ there never can, by any possibility, be any other Head but Jesus Christ, the Lord Himself! Now mark, God has exalted the Lord Jesus Christ in the government of His Church All authority, all authoritative rules in Zion come through Jesus Christ. All true teaching in Zion comes from His lips. We call no man, master, upon earth, for One is our Master, and that One is Christ. No man is Rabbi in the Church, but He is our Rabboni, our Teacher, and all other teachers are thieves and robbers if they teach on their own authority. They only are accepted as the Lord’s shepherds, who speak Christ’s Truth in Christ’s name—and in the power of His own Spirit. God has made Christ to rule supremely throughout the Church, and in this He has glorified Him!


Charles Spurgeon QUOTES on ROMAN CATHOLICISM - Historicist.com The Protestant Interpretation of Biblical Prophecy. The Historical Alternative

After that lot of rubbish had been cleared away, the task was only begun, for soon after apostolic times, and first zeal of Christians had gone, there came the old ROMAN rubbish, which in the end proved a worse hindrance than all which had preceeded it. This Popish rubbish was found in layers - first one doctrinal error, and then another, and then another, and then another, and then another, till at this time the errors of the Church of Rome are as countless as the stars, as black as midnight, and as foul as hell. Her abominations reek in the nostrils of all good men. Her idolatries are the scorn of reason and the abhorrence of faith. The iniquities of her practice, and the enormities of her doctrine, almost surpass belief.


Popery is as much the masterpiece of Satan as the gospel is the masterpiece of God. There can scarcely be imagined anything of devilish craftiness or Satanic wickedness which could be compared with her, she is unparalleled, the queen of iniquity. Behold upon her forehead the name, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. The church of Rome and her teachings are a vast mountain of rubbish covering the truth.
