I put my faith in Christ not in any mortal man.
>>The beliefs of Cynicalbear are well, the beliefs based on the theology of Cynicalbear.<<
Beliefs based solely on scripture and not some faith in mortal men. If the RCC believes that the “church fathers” wrote the infallible word of God they should include those writings in their scripture. Well, it actually looks like they do treat them as they do scriptur. Never mind.
>>If there is a time and place that I choose to discuss theology with them, I think I should be the one to make that decision.<<
No one asked you to or suggested you should.
>>Your question that I responded to was an open ended question and I responded to said question.<<
No, this started from my post #17 which wasn’t to you but was specifically asked of someone else. Now you cry simply because I included others? LOL
CynicalBear:
Your answers are typically fundie. How has anything I stated suggest that I do not believe in Christ. You say based on Scriptures, but the Bible does not interpret itself, the Bible was put together by the Church and the doctrines that were defined by those Church Fathers, Incarnational theology, Christ as a Divine person with both a human and Divine Nature, the Trinitarian of One God yet three Distinct persons, who while all Divine and distinct, are by relationship One God. These doctrines were defined by those CHurch Fathers and CHurch COuncils.
Who defined your doctrines? You did. All you have demonstrated is that you reject the Catholic Faith, which all Protestants do. For most of you, your entire existence is defined by what you reject, yet most of you here never which Protestant Sect, among the thousands out there, you belong too and none of those Protestant groups at the Doctrinal level are in agreement yet all claim we believe the Bible. What you really believe is your own recent novel interpretations of the Bible which are not in continuity with the Historic Church.
