What part of the word "resemble" do you not understand?
No-one's ignoring Scripture here, Bob. I'm just saying it needs to be interpreted properly - which is not by 'One Man and his Bible'.
Again your position is incorrect. The idea of "assumption" includes death and resurrection. It simply says that after that - Moses was taken to heaven. Hence the story in the "Assumption of Moses" of Michael and Satan arguing over the dead body of Moses.
Shame on you for misaligning your better. Strom was as good a Christian as anyone. Paul warned: “To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. (Titus 3:2)”
I know the Catholic Church teaches that...its imperitive in order to keep those who have passed on "high and lifted up"...but its just not true.
And that makes the Catholic Church wrong yet again, because God says different.
Of course it isnt. You have left someone out.
No you didn't you conveniently skipped over the fact Scripture does in Heb 7:3
It's called a messianic prophecy, but once again you fail to provide a scripture that proves Jesus=Melchizedek
Nonsense.
Now back to the topic)More nonsense.
And which one is the true one, Matt?
Heb 7:3 says Melchisedec is like unto Son of God , and all the attributes of Melchisedec are mentioned
Click here to click on links in the articleI have read quite a few comments from Roman Catholic Apologetics regarding the "25,000 groups" of "Protestants", who can’t agree among ourselves. Even though I have attempted to explain to several of my Roman Catholic friends that Baptists and Pentecostals are not Protestants, since we aren’t protesting anything, they insist that we are.
Let’s take a look at the "unity" in the Universal Church of Roman Catholicism. In this morass there are:
1. born-again Catholics who received Jesus as their Saviour in spite of the definition of salvation by the Roman Catholic magisterium. They entrusted their lives to Jesus and trust in Him alone for salvation. These Catholics share many of our basic beliefs in the Scriptures, the Resurrection, the virgin birth of Jesus and the other basic tenets of the Christian faith.
2. There are Catholics still rebelling against Vatican II who ignore the Tridentine prohibition and attend masses said in Latin, e.g. Bishop LaFebvre.
3. We have some rather "liberal" Roman Catholics such as an active nun who held a public office in my state and espoused abortion as a woman’s right in spite of her Church’s official condemnation of abortion. She is not alone in her views. She represents quite a few challenging the belief system of their Church.
4. There are Liberation theologians and their adherents who preach the gospel with an AK-47. For them it isn’t the truth that will make you free but rather the barrel of a gun. Some such adherents are active clerics in the Jesuits and the Maryknoll order. Some assisted the Ortegas in taking over Nicaragua and a couple are even in the Sandanista government as officials. This movement has been warned severely by the present pope several times - to no avail. Maybe he didn’t do it “ex cathedra”.
5. There are very conservative Catholics such as IN HOC SIGNO VINCES (The battle cry of Constantine - In this sign, conquer). These people are on the internet and don’t waste time talking to us as “separated” brethren. They just tell us we are heretics on our way to hell because of their man-made doctrine Extra Ecclesium Nulla Salus - Outside the Church (The Roman Catholic Church), there is no salvation. This great doctrine was handed down from the Council of Trent and has never been officially denied or renounced since Vatican II. The IHSV people can barely tolerate this present pope whom they see as leading them into a disastrous ecumenism. (I might agree with that last point myself).
6. In the Keys of this Blood by Malachi Martin (investigative journalist, ex-Jesuit theologian who contributed greatly to Vatican II and a personal confidante of Pope John Paul II), Martin writes regarding the serious concerns that this present pope has about the future of the Roman Catholic Church and the condition of a majority of his bishops who no longer accept as true doctrine the physical Resurrection of Jesus, the infallibility of the Holy Scriptures, the virgin birth of Jesus and the divinity of Jesus. Many of these men hold the views of Hans Kung, a renegade theologian in the Roman Church who actively teaches against these basic beliefs of Christianity.
7. Although I have read how the Roman Catholic Church bitterly denounced William Tyndale as a heretic and murdered him for translating the Bible into the language of the common people, I have never seen a pope excommunicate a member of the Mafia. Nor have I seen the Church of Rome reprimand a well-known psychic whose occult prophecies are reported annually in the yellow journals that populate our food stores. She is a daily communicant of the eucharist in her local parish.
Universal Church??? I don’t think so. I think this is an institution in search of a meaning.

Catholics opposing the "Anti-Church" of Vatican II
With the Great Schism engineered by the Roman Modernist wing of Liberal Protestant heretics, under the auspices of Angelus Joseph Roncalli, there gradually arose various groups in opposition and to defend, preserve and ensure the perpetuation of the True Church. These groups together comprise the Catholic Resistance. The Resistance can be grouped into n broad schools of thought - Cassicanists, Sede-Vacantists, Orthopapists; excluding those who strayed into heresy or who compromised with the Roncallite Antichurch.

Papal Rebuke by alleged "Queen of Heaven"
I've never denied Jesus was 100% human and Divine whilst He walked the earth - never have, never will!
When Moses and Elijah appeared they spoke ONLY to Deity -
The RCC proudly admits that it was the RCC that controlled all of Europe for LONGER and to a greater extent than even the Roman empire -- NOT protestants.
Interesting but the point remains if in fact this is a case of conjuring the dead. The disciples themselves not only see them but they hear enough to know WHO they are and request to build temples to Moses and Elijah.
Just Moses. Enoch and Elijah did not die they were "Translated" not "resurrected and then bodily assumed into heaven.
Paul delcares that Christ is the first fruits of those who died - but in Matt 27 we see a great resurrection of many saints prior to Jesus being raised just as we see Elijah, Elijah, Samuel and Christ raising the dead prior to Christ's being raised.
