    Sola Scriptura: week-day-1 vs Bible Sabbath

    I don't listen to donkeys; do you? Now you are learning. Therefore, don't keep it. I do deal with the scriptures honestly. Here is what they teach. God no more teaches a believer to keep the sabbath Day than he teaches a donkey to keep the sabbath day. Neither one are required.

    Sola Scriptura: week-day-1 vs Bible Sabbath

    Yes, "The law of the Sabbath," given to Israel and no other. You have no proof that any Gentile believer is commanded to keep the Sabbath, nor have you given any.

    Mary, Salvation, and Sin Offering

    You don't know what a mystery is. The word "mystery" is used 22 times in the Bible, and all in the NT. None are used in the superstitious and mystical way that you as you use the word. Here are some definitions of the word "mystery" from some well know Bible scholars: Watson's Biblical and...

    Mary, Salvation, and Sin Offering

    "Jesus said 'it is his body,'" so you say. Your misled opinion is wrong. You don't see the metaphor when it is set right before you. You are blind to it. Jesus also said: I am the light. (but he is not a candle). I am the door (but we don't literally knock on him). Note, that Jesus says in...

    Sola Scriptura: The Sufficiency of Scripture

    I may get to some of the other points raised later, But for now let's get right down to the basic core of disagreement. It is summed up in this paragraph which is: The finality of the Bible vs. The finality of the RCC. In your post here you say: "But there is someone who does have the upper...

    Sola Scriptura: The Sufficiency of Scripture

    In your mind it is begging the question. Perhaps if this were another topic you might have a point, but this is not just any other topic. Every argument I make is based on the Word of God. Again the Bible says: 1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give...

    Sola Scriptura: The Sufficiency of Scripture

    It is revealed very clearly in Isaiah 8:20. Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. --This was written by the Lord speaking through Jeremiah: Isaiah 8:5 The LORD spake also unto me again, saying, As I have...

    Sola Scriptura: The Sufficiency of Scripture

    Thank you for not taking offence at my some-times bluntly worded worded responses. Consider an example: John Wesley and George Whitefield were as good as friends as two men could be. Wesley was an Arminian and Whitefield was a Calvinist, and many times they clashed over their respective...

    Mary, Salvation, and Sin Offering

    Adonia said: It doesn't cut it for us either. The Lord's Supper is one of the most worshipful services of the church. It is more than just quickly and flippantly downing some juice and swallowing a cracker. But for your sake let's examine this more closely. The Lord's Supper (Table) was...

    Mary, Salvation, and Sin Offering

    I have a few history books. I find that men like J.T. Christian and Thomas Armitage do a fairly good job of tracing Baptists or those who held Baptists beliefs back down to the Apostles. They even quote a Catholic Bishop agreeing to the fact. Most Catholics have their own revised history born...

    Mary, Salvation, and Sin Offering

    How do you expect to prove this statement? What evidence can you provide? The only thing that you have provided thus far is arrogance. The RCC is good with that. Can you do better?

    Sola Scriptura: The Sufficiency of Scripture

    My assessment is not false, but "patently true." Let's examine it under the scope of scripture, as all things must be done (sola scriptura). That is the command of scripture, for Jesus said; Matthew 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles...

    'Tradition'

    From "Catholic Online," a Catholic Encyclopedia, the RCC writes: The word tradition (Greek paradosis ) in the ecclesiastical sense, which is the only one in which it is used here, refers sometimes to the thing (doctrine, account, or custom ) transmitted from one generation to another; sometimes...

    Mary, Salvation, and Sin Offering

    The entire event is future. John was "transported" to heaven looking at what is happening or going to happen in the future. He has been given the ability to see what the human eye cannot see. Dead refers to the body. The only one that has risen from the dead is Jesus Christ. He alone in this...

    Sola Scriptura: The Sufficiency of Scripture

    Consider all the Catholic posts here. Instead of the Scriptures, immediately the first source that is appealed to is the ECF. Is that wrong? Partly, since the ECF is the source of most errors. Sometimes they are beneficial. Appealing to another source is not wrong. Sometimes they can say the...

    Sola Scriptura: The Sufficiency of Scripture

    If i am guilty of the first three, I apologize. If I am guilty of "d" which is to compare or contrast one's position to another, then it is to help them to see the fallacy of their own position. If I am guilty of f. it is because I have repeated myself many times and the poster has not given...

    Mary, Salvation, and Sin Offering

    Exodus 37 Bez′alel made the ark of acacia wood; two cubits and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. --Did Bezalel, or any of the Israelites pray to this ark? Did they ask the ark to intercede for them? Did they worship the Ark? The answer...

    Mary, Salvation, and Sin Offering

    Mary sinned every day, just like the rest of us. She didn't confess her sins to me, so you are asking the wrong person. She was no exception to the simple truths of the Word of God: Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; --Mary is no exception. She is a sinner just...

    Mary, Salvation, and Sin Offering

    This is really my OP. I suppose I should answer it. Mary offered a sin offering. A sin offering is called a sin offering for no other reason than it is an offering for sin committed. If Mary was sinless she would not have had to offer this offering. The priests would have recognized that fact...

    Mary, Salvation, and Sin Offering

    Just an observation concerning "grace." The phrase "full of grace" is used but one time in the Bible, and it describes Jesus Christ. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth...
