My claim is that the Bible is right and the ECF are wrong. Therefore trust God's Word, not the ECF who also have the reputation of introducing most of the present heresies that we now have. Did you not read the information in the Link I gave you...

Once Constantine took Christendom and made it a state religion in the early fourth religion there was a great uproar. He introduced idolatry. Basically he paganized Christianity. You just have to look for it. It is not hard to find. It is factual. From one source: While Constantine supposedly...

Not the apostate RCC. The passage does not have the RCC in mind. Paul is writing to the local church at Ephesus not to the RCC. Thus he is writing to biblical local churches every where, not to a denomination, not to the RCC, but to local churches such as the church at Ephesus of which he was...

The "Church" is not greater than God! It is God that is greater. And it is God that gave His revelation, the Bible, to the churches. There was no RCC until the fourth century, that is, the time of Constantine, but the canon of Scripture was completed when John wrote the Book of Revelation ca. 98...

Bible believing churches, but not the RCC. The fact that the "Eucharist" so-called is not found in the Bible demonstrates that the doctrine of the RCC is wrong. Why does the RCC advocate murder of any kind? It is the Bible that never changes. The RCC is like a chameleon. It changes according...

Keeping the Lord's Supper (in the latter part of the chapter) is not just tradition. It is a command, an ordinance. And in keeping it, it teaches us doctrine through its symbolism. Now consider the first sixteen verses. Paul lays down about six principles of why a woman ought to wear a...

Thanks for taking the time for replying. I enjoy our discussions. --The practices that had been introduced had been neglected, abused, and were not faithfully kept. Therefore Paul carefully sets out reasons why this "ordinance" or command needs to be kept. Later on, in the same chapter, he...

Perhaps Jesus was using a somewhat sarcastic phrase--good thought. For whatever the case, they were not doing the will of God, and Christ said as much--if you understand English. :) Mat 23:3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works...

Matthew 23:2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: This is the only time in the Bible where this phrase "Moses' seat" is used. It is not even found in the OT. It is only here just this one time. MacArthur says this: Moses' seat is equivalent to a university's "chair of...

Any statement that starts with "What if" or a similar phrase or thought is a hypothetical. I was/am expounding a passage of scripture and using it as an illustration to make a point. You started in post #73 and have been asking the same hypothetical questions since; Who, also, is it who is...

The "we" is the "we" in 1Cor.11:16 1 Corinthians 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. The "our churches" are Paul's churches in the same verse. 1 Corinthians 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom...

It was a biblical example which you basically destroyed by entering in a string of hypotheticals which are not in the passage of scripture and therefore red herrings. For the record I do not deny the correct meaning of James 2:24; you do. It is you that cannot harmonize the verse with the rest...

I don't see any scripture where Paul affirms a place for "tradition" within the "Church" or churches. I believe you take the word "tradition" and define it the way you want it to fit the verse. You ignore what the verse teaches and especially what it teaches in the light of the rest of the...

You say circumcision has nothing to do with baptism. The holy bible says: Colossians 2 11and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ; There is nothing here about being circumcised. There is...

You are entitled to your opinion. But without evidence it remains opinion, and obviously very much wront. http://www.pbministries.org/History/John T. Christian/vol1/history_17.htm 1. First you equate circumcision to salvation. 2. You say that Jesus needed to be circumcised. 3. Are you therefore...

That is where you are wrong. You are mistaking me for a hardline Calvinist who doesn't believe in free will. I am not a Calvinist at all. When Paul said to the Philippian jailer: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ thou shalt be saved." IOW, Have faith in Christ. A person always has a choice...

I know what genocide is. I know when Innocent III wiped out the Albigeneses for no good reason other than they were peace-loving people, that it was genocide. I don't put a lot of confidence in Stark. I believe he is trying to revise history. There are many people who deny the holocaust ever...

Yes, I disagree with the RCC, and I can show you where and why. You are showing how you contradict the rest of the Bible and that is all. Jesus doesn't contradict himself, but you have him contradicting himself. How is that? If sola scriptura is absent then so is the trinity. Both are...

That "belief" in and of itself is based on an assumption which is wrong. There is no "one holy catholic and apostolic Church." If you believe there is how would you go about demonstrating it? It is an assumption because you accept it by blind faith from the RCC without proof or evidence, not...

Are you born again Adonia? If so, how were you born again, and when and where? Would you mind sharing? I was in the Catholic Church for 20 years. I never heard the gospel preached even one time. There is a difference between a "reading" out of "a gospel" and one "explaining the gospel" as...
