The Textus Receptus is a medieval text that scholarship has shown is riddled with errors.

I have news for you the LXX is the true version of the Old Testament unsullied by Jewish corruptions.

The Eastern Church STILL uses the LXX as its official Old Testament, just as the apostles did.

All of the Old Testament quotations in the New Testament come from the LXX.

You mean the Septuagint version of Genesis begins at chapter 12?

I doubt I will.

Shall I ping you to the next post by a Catholic accusing someone of "worshiping the Bible?"

Change that. Unschooled.

Got it. Catholics and Orthodox are "unschooled;" rednecks are "ignorant."

You ex-Fundamentalists are nasty people.

Jesus is not from David!! Jesus is the Son of God. If you even question that you go to hell because the only criteria for salvation is to believe in Jesus as the Son of God!! (Jn 3:1) Get off this demonic jargon. Find Christ as the Son of God and drop to your knees in thanksgiving for imputed righteousness as Paul,”The great sinner “( Romans 7” taught us all.

Imputed righteousness was invented by Martin Luther.

The linage of David to Joseph as a joke is to cool off those who worship the “Bible: instead of Jesus . Even Jesus admonished us to not worship scripture. I’m tired if these idolators telling me about salvation when they are so diverted, they don’t have a clue. They actually worship Mary as a goddess!! you can not make that up.

Protestants who try to convert Catholics or Orthodox are wolves in sheep’s clothing.

If that’s nasty then that is your problem.

Chr*stians who try to convert Jews are wolves in sheep's clothing (and not just the Protestant ones). Catholics and Orthodox who don't want Protestants proselytizing them but who proselytize Jews are hypocrites.

I am not a Protestant (or a chr*stian at all). And last I heard, Catholics and Orthodox were not exactly one big happy family--except in the minds of ex-Fundamentalists trying to assuage their feelings of guilt for joining churches that believe in evolution and higher criticism.

“Irreconcilable” to the lazy and incurious perhaps. There are several possible explanations, from one list being Mary’s line and one Joseph’s, to legal inheritance or levirate marriage. And you might want to look for the Luke list in chapter 3 rather than 22.

Jesus is a direct descendant of King David. He’s also conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. Son of God and son of Mary...fully human, fully God.

That’s fully orthodox accepted by all Christians everywhere since the 1st Century.

If you’re just messing around, please repent, and quit being a troll.

Except that it isn't. The TR is the oldest and most accurate version of the scriptures. The rest are forgeries.

The Eastern Church STILL uses the LXX as its official Old Testament, just as the apostles did.

What do I care of the apostasies of the Eastern Church Pagan System?

The TR only dates to the 16th century, so I can understand why you would make and idol of those manuscripts.

If anyone is pagan, it is those like yourselves who worship your hatred of anything that smacks of the Catholicism rather than God.

Oh, look, someone playing the hatred card. The Roman system and everything that derives from it is corrupt.

I refer you to a far more learned man than myself on the matter: Ian Paisley, Baron Bannside.

And you cite Ian Paisley as your source. The Rev. Paisley has been a hatemonger since day one who was a mirror image of the Irish Republican Army during “the troubles” in Northern Ireland.

The Orthodox are NOT part of the “Roman system” as you put it.

The so-called “Reformation” resulted in an overreaction to the corruption of the late medieval Western Church and the establishment of a new religion.

“Romanism” and Protestantism are two sides to the same Scholastic coin. One adds while the other denies. Eastern Christianity is built on an entirely different foundation.

Explain something to me. Why is it the countries in Europe that were formerly Calvinist or Lutheran are now the most secularized and apostate?

It seems to me that your argument is a bit like the pot calling the kettle black.

The Orthodox are on offshoot of the Roman system.

Because they were quite properly allowed to choose.

Engaging in idle polemics with you is a waste of time. Have a good day!

Unless I get in trouble for having said what I said, then it wouldn’t matter in any case, so ping me only if I get in trouble.

Apparently you are interested in Christianity since you responded and seem to care about these. Your statements unfortunately are based on ignorance and misunderstandings. I realize that probably no one will convince you otherwise.

However I can tell you from personal experience that many misunderstandings I had about Christianity were cleared up via an in-depth bible study of Romans. I think it is only fair to yourself and your eternal salvation to get accurate information because discarding Christianity. If you don't like Catholics' views on Mary (which are quite different than your statements BTW) then become a Protestant. And don't let jerks in the Christian faith (jerks exist in all groups) keep you from eternal peace.

peace

The words are going to be pretty meaningless without being read.
