Featured What other denominations

I've been a member of 2 Southern Baptist churches, a non-denominational Calvinist group, and 2 Primitive Baptist churches (current) 'along the way'.

 

What about when Our Lord said, "Do this in memory of Me"? Since He said that then He was giving them and their successors the authority to carry out what He was doing. It also has to be remembered that it is ultimately Christ Who is offering the Mass since he is the eternal High Priest.

 

Remembrance is one thing. Christ doing the Lord's Supper is a totally different experience.

 

Because it is OBVIOUSLY figurative. Simple language skills show this. A man is not bread. Bread is IMAGERY.

 

Unfortunately, Mennonites seem to be accepting of almost everything except biblical Christianity.

 

So which one is more authoritative when the two are at odds, the scripture or the pope?

 

Well send them some bibles, I’m sure they would appreciate it.

 

If your interpretation of scripture is Infallible, I’ll follow that.

 

Isn't it your religion that subscribes to papal infallibility? How does that work when his infallible words contradict the God-breathed word?

 

The Papacy has been an instrument of Satan for a VERY long time.

 

All the gift of Infallibility means is the Pope gets struck dead if he tries to teach error. It’s a gift to the Church, not the one sitting in the Chair of Peter.

It’s like the Chair of Moses for the Israelites, God guided and taught Israel authoritively from the Chair of Moses.
If some dude thought his interpretations of scripture were better than the Chair of Moses, he was a heretic.

“He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,”

Even though caiaphas was a nasty fellow, God still operated through him in the Chair of Moses.

Judaism from our perspective is pre messianic Catholicism and Catholicism is post Messianic Judaism. In answer to your question.

 

Why is your interpretation of scripture right and the Mennonites interpretation of scripture wrong. You dudes are reading the same bible?

I thought the whole “ Bible alone “ idea you share meant all you needed was to pick up the Bible and interpret it yourself and you would have all the truth you needed. In fact dudes are telling me the Bible interprets Itself.

If the Bible interprets itself, What’s gone seriously, seriously wrong here.

Do Mennonites even have Bibles? Dude, let me assure you, Mennonites have Bibles, I checked, it’s true.

Are Mennonites just stupid? No, there were two Mennonite theology professors I spoke with that knew the Bible back to front. Sounded highly intelligent and I learned a lot.

Do Mennonites Love Jesus? Yep, don’t even go there.

Do Mennonites say they rely on The Holy Spirit to understand the scripture? Definitely, just like every other Bible alone Church I’ve come across.

So why don’t you consider them “ biblical Christianity “?

 

If someone confesses Christ as their Lord and Savior they are fine with me. Every one reads the bible through unique lenses.
I imagine that at some point the Lord will have to straighten us all out.

 

Ultimately it is Christ Who celebrates the Mass since He is re-presenting His Sacrifice to God the Father.
