The Eucharist Communion

Cathode: I have a question for you. Do you use the term "Born Again"? Would you say you are "born again?"​

Not trying to get a discussion going - just wondering about your thoughts.

Yes. By both Protestant and Catholic definitions.

I was “ born again “ in Catholicism at Baptism, which accords with majority of Christianity today, and universally in Christianity for the first 1500 years.

But I also had a powerful encounter with Christ as an adult professing Him in Faith as my Lord Saviour. But this profession takes place every day since in prayer time.

I reject anything a member of the rc denomination tells me is not in the Word of God.

Nope.

No, what you reject is any interpretation of Scripture that differs from your interpretation of Scripture.

Once you made yourself Pope the final arbiter of Scriptures interpretation and meaning, it’s hard to give up the crown.

Even every other Bible aloner is stupid or deceived if he disagrees with your interpretations of Scripture.

You defend your understanding of Scripture so ardently, not because of the superiority of Scripture, but for the superiority of your opinion.

I'm a Word of God guy.

No, you are a Scripture alone guy.

Catholics are Word of God alone.

The Word of God comes in two forms. The Spoken Word of God, and the Written Word of God.

“But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached /spoken unto you.”

The Spoken Word of God endures forever in the Catholic Church, not in the protesting churches who rejected the Spoken Word, and took only the Written Word.
Not having the Spoken Word to interpret the Written Word, they scattered into each man’s own interpretations and traditions, traditions of men.
