It's not tradition to hold to the Bible. The mere fact that you said "You hold to Protestant and Baptist traditions, which don’t have a history going back to the Apostles" proves that it is you who who puts extra value on tradition.
Every different interpretation of Scripture is a new tradition. Luther had one, Calvin another, Zwingli yet another, and thousands of human founded traditions based on each man’s subjective opinion of scripture.
None of these human traditions of men had anything to do with the Bible.
They all quote the Bible yet are divided on its interpretation, each has his own subjective interpretations, human traditions.
Paul’s says “ Hold to the traditions we taught you, whether by word of mouth or letter of ours “
Bible aloners directly disobey scripture here ironically, they don’t hold to oral tradition of the Apostles, they only took the Written tradition.
The Oral tradition explains the Written tradition of Scripture.
So they neither follow the scriptures or tradition.
You're the one who quoted Catholic theologians as historical evidence that the sign gifts haven't ceased, not me. They could be lying about the those gifts just as people today are.
Yeah, thousands of Early Christian liars just trying to trick Dave 1800 years later.
The Catholic ecumenical movement is unity at the expense of Truth. That's relativism. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no man comes to the Father but by Him. Mother Teresa was comforting dying Hindu's in her hospital and telling them to pray to their Hindu god. Sometimes I wonder who was first, the Catholic Church, or Marxism. you both do the same things.
Would you be the man to harass a dying person to bring them around to your fallible erroneous theology, distress them greatly in their extremity.
There are reservations in Hell for stunts like that.
Mother Teresa would have been comforting the dying and invincibly ignorant, too simple and uneducated to be able to grasp any doctrine.
In those cases you simply comfort them and entrust them to Jesus Mercy, which is far more understanding than you are.
I would say that clearly mother Teresa wasn't saved.
I don’t care how good and saved you think you are.
Jesus clearly warns “ Judge not lest you be judged “, you will suffer the fate you declared on others. Judgement belongs to Jesus alone.
This warning is not to judge a person’s salvation. I know it’s a favourite pass time among Baptist’s but this will have cost many Baptists at their Judgement.
At Judgement they find out that OSAS is false, they have falsely judged others salvation hundreds or thousands of times throughout their lives. They have a stack of unconfessed mortal sins, which they find out is a real and eternal problem, that they can no longer do anything about it.
I knew mother Teresa and her sisters and have seen the vast amounts of hard work and help and love and comfort she and her sisters and associates poured out and still pours out to millions.
She spent 4-5 hours in prayer on her knees every morning talking to Jesus.
She greatly loved Jesus and dedicated her entire life to Jesus.
And you declare her in Hell.
Good luck when you show up to Judgement, I hope Jesus takes into account your great ignorance.
Having known Mother Teresa and seen her love for the Lord, she is the last person I would declare damned, if anyone ever at all.
Ignore the stupid Catholic, keep doing this, find out.
