"ROME"??

Not Catholic, but Rome, right?

Please, every single Protestent and Protestant derived religion even if it contains only a single person always makes the only point they can make no matter how they try to dress it up or hide it. The sole point of everything that grew out Protestantism is that each individual is their own Holy Spirit and is personally an infalliable interpreter or Scripture thereby deifying themselves here and now. That's exactly why those who ordain queers, marry queers one to another, approve of abortion, and so on have just as much claim to interpreting Scripture correctly as anyone who disagrees with them based on another inerpretation of Scripture.

When individuals interpret Scripture for themselves they have already abandoned what Christ taught. Those who just accept it because it's popular, the same thing the herd accepts, or what their parents taught them, all have one thing in common. They all realize that anything other than personal interpretation would mean they would have to surrender to Christ rather than worshiping, The Most High Self. Not only that, but they'd have to take up their cross and follow Christ, not play games with denials, distractions, and elaborate pretenses like "prophecy studies" that actively hide prophecy Christ made and in doing so hide a portion of the proof that Christ is who He said He was; the Only begotten Son of God, God from God, incarnate in the flesh of man and fully man as well as fully God to be our Savior.

But, deny the Holy Spirit, deny Scripture and pretend to be interpreting it, whatever. No one around here can pretend they were not told, given plenty of Scripture, and plenty of references. They can only say that their personal interpretation doesn't agree with two thousand years of Christian teaching that is identical to what Christ and the Apostles taught. Since they choose to remain heretics, so be it.

Titus 3:9 but avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law. For they are unprofitable and vain.
Titus 3:10 A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition, avoid:
Titus 3:11 Knowing that he, that is such an one, is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned by his own judgment.

Those who continue to deny the deity of Christ can fool themselves however they like, but they should get used to the idea of hearing, "I never knew you" from the very Jesus Christ they deny is God.

Peter in (Acts 4:12), “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN that has been given among men, by which we must be saved.”

Paul (1 Tim. 2:5), “For there is one God, and ONE MEDIATOR also between God and men.”

Titus 1:9: An elder must hold “fast the faithful word which is inaccordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort insound doctrine and to refute those who contradict.”

Oh, no, the Rome problem again. How many different Catholic churches are there not in perfect fellowship with the one presided over by the bishop of Rome? close to a dozen is it? When I say "Rome", it is for the wish to leave those other fellowships out of the conversation, so that my words may be more accurately directed. I refuse to go along with the demand to just call it "Catholic", for even the Lutherans see themselves as "catholic" to a degree. Not all other capital "C" Catholic Churches have the label "Orthodox" as part of their name, so as to be able to easily make acknowledgment of the differences, as one is going along. One other Catholic Church (a portion of it, anyway) just recently signed some agreements (within the last five years or so) with the last pope, and they had been almost completely of fellowship with one another for only THE LAST 1500 YEARS!

Otherwise, yeah, I've seen you post that same garbage to other posters here. It's like serial molestation.

Convert to Rome, swim the Tiber or go to Hell. Some things never change, even though your church most certainly takes a different approach. At least since Vatican II. Is that why it is so despised by so many?

You really don't authoritatively speak for your church in these matters. Nor do you speak for Christ either. You might want to look up just where that "I never knew you" quote comes from and review it for context, before you find your own self hearing it.

Other than possible seeing you some time fully be on the wrong side of that particular sort of conversation,
I would like to hold your own words. For that other, darker hearing, it would be ok with me if you were able to escape it...
You've given me the convert to your own church or be damned speech, twice now. By one of the very scripture you quote and give citation for, you should not post to my on self any further, lest you be going against the Word, thus risk "denying the divinity of Christ" by token of the same line of reasoning which you have been here of late subjecting a growing multitude to.

I'll most certainly look forward to not hearing from you again. Meanwhile, when I'm commenting or conversing with some other who is more inclined to actually engage in some sort of exchange, please feel free to take your condemnation elsewhere. Or go against Titus, and risk your own neck.
