Nonsense. Paul even calls it a punishment, it’s holy writ in front of your face. It was a temporal punishment, ie a penance.

We follow Apostolic Tradition, you follow the fallible human traditions that don’t even agree among themselves what scripture means.

No Paul imposed the temporal punishment. Expulsion, the guy didn’t self expel. “What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.” Then lifted the temporal punishment...

Ok you quote the Fathers Baptist beliefs and I’ll quote the Fathers Catholic beliefs.

It’s what we call temporal punishment ie penance.

The Spoken Word of God explains the Written Word of God.

Penance isn’t pagan. Paul imposed a penance himself. “A man is sleeping with his father’s wife. 2 And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have gone into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been doing this? ” 1 Cor: 5 Paul later lifts the penance. “For such a one this...

That’s your private fiction.

No, the teaching and interpretation of scripture they maintain from the Apostles is infallible, their preaching by The Holy Spirit. “but the word of the Lord remains forever.” And this word is the good news that was preached to you.“ The Holy Spirit operates in the preaching, the Apostles...

The Fathers simply maintained the Apostles interpretation of Scripture. That’s why it has always been strictly forbidden for any Catholic to privately interpret their own new interpretations from scripture. The Holy Spirit operates through living memory, by Tradition. “But the Advocate, the...

“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am...

From history. What was the first Babylon? Under Nimrod, Babylon sort world power, and built a great tower in defiance of God, a flood proof tower. It was a political and syncretist religious entity, based on naturalism. There is an organisation today that resembles this, but it does not...

Imagine that. Finding out the early Christians were Catholic.

The Fathers taught what the Apostles taught, The Fathers were pathological about only teaching the same understandings that the Apostles taught.

Genuine question. So whose interpretations of Scripture are guided in absolute truth by The Holy Spirit?

Genuine question. Do you think my personal interpretations of Scripture are better than what the Catholic Church has taught what Scripture means?

That goes for all scripture. That is why I can’t follow my own interpretations of Scripture or any other human interpretations of scripture. If someone could kindly and genuinely acknowledge this point, I can move on to what I really Love talking about, the inner spiritual life. There are...

There is a lineage of Apostolic appointees with Apostolic Authority that teach Apostolic understanding of Scripture, they only teach what they were taught from the Apostles. Protestantism is not of the Apostolic lineage that teaches the ancient objective understanding of Scripture. They teach...

This is what I talked about, people prefer fallible human interpretations and doctrines and precepts of men. Protestants think it’s normal to interpret their own doctrines from scripture, hence they all scatter after reading the same Bible, they make the Bible the source of their disunity. The...

John Chrysostom was the Bishop of Constantinople. Notice he is understanding the scripture the way Catholics do today. This isn’t his private interpretation either, this is what his Apostolic predecessors were taught from the Apostles. “They teach what they themselves have learnt from their...
