I have my flame suit on.
It certainly fits with everything that I understand about the Faith, boss. I think that Christians have your back here.
Placemarkereth - oh, it mattereth all right!
” A believer in man-made teachings is a disobedient fool”
we agree!!
you can also include in the disobedient fool category those that will not obey the teachings from the Church Jesus authorized to teach in Matthew 28.
you can also include in the disobedient fool category those that do not follow the Apostolic Tradition as Paul commanded.
No more likely than Sinead O'Connor could.
Is this an open book test?
Resist; Elsie - RESIST!
A big Merry Christmas to you faithful Christians, who are not afraid of speaking the truth!
Mark 8:38
If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."
1 John 4
“1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit[a] of truth and the spirit of falsehood. “
So what say you Jedadiah concerning Jesus Christ?
or an EXORCISM!
I'll bet she'd RATHER have a TR!
How is it that postmen who are gruntled NEVER make the evening news?
Who would he caucus with?
Oh YEAH??
Yup; MORMON fer sure!
Your theology has! What are YOU going to do about it?
Why can't we all just get along with those who hijack the Faith's name, completely reinterpret it, and claim it for themselves?
2. I wished you a Merry Christmas...
I do hope you get over your splitting headache, BigFred.
Splitters and quitters don't get to define Christianity.
i hope you had a Merry Christmas.
concerning the Sabbath and what the Apostles taught, the NT is clear the Apostles never taught nor kept the 7th day Sabbath.
but i want you to consider something you may not have thought of before. the Apostles went all over the known world in their day preaching the Gospel and growing the Church. they taught the same Gospel and the same doctrines. so when Paul was in Greece or Rome, the Christians there believed the same doctrines as James taught in Jerusalem and John in Turkey. after the Apostles were all dead, the men they entrusted the Church to would meet and exchange letters and they discovered the Universal Faith that they had been given in common. this Universal or Catholic Faith was then handed down from believer to believer, even though there was great persecution from Rome.
don’t you think if the Apostles kept the Sabbath the NT would need to contain explicit rules on what this meant for all the Gentile converts who had no prior knowledge of Sabbath keeping? of course it would.
don’t you think if the Apostles taught Sabbath keeping, there would be record of the early Church Fathers explaining this?
don’t you think when the false docrine ( in your eyes ) of Sunday worship was introduced, we would read about the great controversy that ensued when the Sabbath keeping churches kept to the Apostolic Tradition? of course we would, except history shows this controversy never happened since the Church NEVER kept the Sabbath.
suppose a 7th day adventist preacher told his congregation that next week they would worship on Sunday and never keep the Sabbath again!! don’t you think there would be controversy? don’t you think he would be fired? why would the 1st or 2nd century be any different?
once you finally understand the doctrine of the Church as the Body of Christ, and the role the Holy Spirit plays in guiding and protecting the Church, the idea of keeping the Sabbath will quickly be dismissed as false doctrine taught by false teachers.
think and pray about it.
