Featured Holy Father according to who?

No, because there are many examples in the Scriptures where mere men are called father by people like St. Paul. You said: "But did forbid making other men intermediaries to God". Thus according to you, the person now praying for another person has become an intermediary to God. See, this is what happens when people like yourself try to interpret the Scriptures - you have no idea what you are talking about.

 

No, the disagreement exists because of your bad scriptural interpretation from top to bottom.

 

Such a terrible interpretation. You are simply wrong, wrong, wrong. None of that nonsense ever appeared until the 17th century, brought to the Christian world by mere men preaching with many errors.

 

They are still around

Anabaptist are nothing like baptists. Also Anabaptist are still around: Mennonites, Amish, Mennonite Brethren, Hutterites

They are not "Faith Alone".


The baptist founder left to be mennonite, why? The problem we are talking about right now, He was anglican priest and he knew there was no ties from Baptist to Jesus. So he wanted to tie himself via mennonites.



Obvious his error because in the beginning who can baptize him?

Think about it you are the first baptist and you guys only accept YOUR baptism cause everything else is a false religion.

What he do? He BAPTIZED HIMSELF. Before he dies he ADMITS, REGRETS and writes a letter of apology.


Thats why you are looking for a trail to Jesus right now. Cause you know with out it all you have is a fake church trying to pass for the real thing.

 

But I think you got bigger fish to fry. Suppose you did have direct linage, easily provable. How you going to convince me to serve EVIL? that is PENAL SUBSTITUTION.

Like i've heard even the most kindest of pastors DR. Michael Brown give the most exquisite sugar coating of pure evil possible. There is no way we are going to buy into serving EVIL.

It is the voice of God that thunders from MERCY, KINDNESS and COMPASSION.

Whenever there is debate or argument and I find myself as the one contrary to MERCY or kindness that is a good indication I know I got a problem.

 

God can give me a box and inside that has certificate and promise that he would never do anything to hurt me ect, with full assurance and certainty that I am saved.

I would never open it. I don't take leverage from God. If you can tell the difference between Love and God you still got a lot to learn about both.

Do you understand? I feel there is something wrong in the whole plot of seeking assurance and certainty FROM GOD in the first place.

Whereas my attitude ought to be God is your very best friend and cares about you more than you do.


My motivation doesn't come from fear. When I say God is Love, I mean it.

My trust in God allows for me to hear the other side, attend another church, I could "leave" the catholic faith, It ain't nothing, I already witness someone more deeply understanding and patient.

The boogeyman of salvation or not, doesn't apply to me.

I am not going to obsess over salvation.

I obsess over God's Command LOVE GOD, LOVE NEIGHBOR.


Btw I ain't trying to convert you, You perfectly safe where you are. Our stance is God is way more reasonable and loving than anyone else in existence.

I think more alone the lines of Life the CLASSROOM rather than LIFE the COURTROOM.

 

In the end God calls the shots. He can leave you out if He wants to (most likely He won't) but He could do so. And then He could let the most despicable person in if he wants to.

I can only speak for myself. God's promise of heaven is a really beautiful thing to the believer and I pray that He has mercy on me and let's me spend eternity in heaven after this hell on earth. I am sort of like the Apostle Thomas on this one - I'll really believe it when I have entered the heavenly realm.

 

No. Without question it is the reality that God can do whatever He wants to anyone one of us at any time, just like He did with the thief on the Cross. Do you really deny that reality?

As for the rest of your post, I maintain what I said earlier. I am of the Apostle Thomas line on believing it only when I actually get there and I maintain that I am at the mercy of God at all times. You have your opinion and I have mine - there is no more to be said about it.

 

And? I still have my particular opinion of these things as you have yours, both of which are of equal value. You know, I have faith that I will get a paycheck at the end of the week because I put in the time for it, but only when it's in my account and I see it with my own eyes can I be assured it is there.

So according to you because of what you last posted I am in because I believe and that is great . Such a thing still does not change my personal feeling on the issue. I think it's great that your faith is so strong concerning this, mine however is less so. This has nothing to do with what my faith tradition teaches or how it teaches - it lies within me personally. It is what it is.
