You are still following fallible interpretations of scripture and doctrines therefrom. You really want to trust fallible interpretations and doctrines for your eternity?

No. You aren’t getting it. The Church Fathers aren’t generating errors with their fallible interpretations of scripture. They are holding to the interpretations and understandings the Apostles handed down to them. ‘We are proving that this view has been transmitted from father to father, but...

Have to stop you there. In Protestantism the theologies are made by men from their own fallible interpretations of the texts Scripture. Their doctrines are the fruit of new and fallible men’s interpretation of scripture. This is an attempt to recreate Christianity from textural criticism, and...

From my perspective Dave. From others perspectives, the Catholic Church is the whore of Babylon. Don’t you want to be able to hear things from different perspectives or even contrary perspectives, or do you prefer an insular echo chamber. I don’t like echo chamber sites even if they were...

Well thank goodness, I thought you were starting to sound like another guy. My ancestry here began with a highway man who was sentenced to death, but was commuted to life on a penal colony on the backside of the planet, what do you expect Dave, we say things as we see them, I almost shouldn’t...

Don’t go conspiratorial on me Dave. Oseas3 is more than enough.

Well the name doesn’t help. Protestant.

Well I do get a head of steam up when Catholics are called satanic or pagan, or the whore of Babylon, especially as it isn’t true. Something has to be said.

Tyndale made over 2000 translation errors in the New Testament alone, and he wasn’t authorised to translate the Bible. Besides there were already authorised English translations in circulation. Secular authorities had to act because potential heresy from mistranslation could cause upheaval in...

Ultimately it’s up to the individual to be final arbiter of Scriptures interpretation, protestants Church hop all the time to settle where Scriptural interpretation fits their tastes. But there are countless churches of the individual that have given up on Church community altogether and are “...

Succession is through the laying on of hands. s’mikhah in the Jewish Tradition was the leaning on of hands as a passing on of Authority to a Levite priest. “Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.“ Paul ordains and gave Authority to...

Paul worked with his successors personally. “Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again. 26 Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of any of you. 27 For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will...
