see #80.
CB you need to admonish editor, or never say another word to Catholics about insults.
What you seem not to understand is that in those verses you quoted they were talking about the meat from animals formerly restricted from the Jewish diet. Then there is the fact that your “opinion” that Protestants have a tendency to read but not to comprehend omits the fact that later in that same book, that is after the vision you referenced, Luke, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, still prohibited the eating of blood. Isn’t that interesting? It seems to me that “comprehension” would require that the Holy Spirit having inspired both passages would not have contradicted Himself.
Your “opinion” ignored the fact that you didn’t realize that it was the Holy Spirit who guided Luke to write the prohibition of eating blood even after Peter had that vision. Might I suggest that your “opinion” doesn’t count? Only the facts count and the fact is that you seem to not have “comprehended” what was written or maybe you didn’t even read far enough after your ah ha moment? Perhaps it is you who needs to read and attempt to comprehend better. Tell me again how long you have been reading the Bible with guidance from the Holy Spirit. Guidance from the RCC doesn’t count.
There is not one word of allegory in the Revelation.
It is the faithful account of John, who describes 21st century weapons in terms that would come to one living in the first century.
Live and love in unbelief.
Christian Apologetics: - The Bible does not come out and declare that Mary remained a virgin and that she had no children. In fact, the Bible seems to state otherwise: (All quotes are from the NASB.)
Matthew 1:24-25 - "And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took as his wife, and kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus."
Matthew 12:46-47 - "While He was still speaking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him. And someone said to Him, "Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You."
Matthew 13:55 - "Is not this the carpenters son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?"
Mark 6:2-3 - "And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue; and the many listeners were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to Him, and such miracles as these performed by His hands? "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?"
John 2:12 - "After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother, and His brothers, and His disciples; and there they stayed a few days."
Acts 1:14 - "These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers."
1 Cor. 9:4-5 - "Do we not have a right to eat and drink? Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?"
Gal. 1:19 - But I did not see any other of the apostles except James, the Lords brother."
An initial reading of these biblical texts seems to clear up the issue: Jesus had brothers and sisters. ...
Then might I suggest that your "experience" in #55 doesn't count either?
I see ever more foolish ignorance propagated in #80... is that what you mean?
So Jesus is a literal door, a literal sheep, literally bread, literally wine, and literally a rock?
What I do with someone else isn’t the issue. I asked YOU. Is it your position that if you perceive someone else doing something you should do it?
Except for the parts which are clearly allegorical, as I stated in the comment you reference.
Its good to know that you’ve never fat-fingered an H and Jn together.
I have concluded that you are either purposefully making illogical arguments in order to infuriate, or else are posting from a mental institution. Either way, it would appear we have nothing more to say to one another.
Other than my “experience” is based of fact and your “opinion” was based on error as I just pointed out in my post 84?
>> “Except for the parts which are clearly allegorical” <<
.
That would be the parables, and nothing else.
Figurative symbols like sheep, body and blood are not allegory, they are simply symbolic.
(or did you really “tie one on” the other night?)
You have had nothing of value to say to anyone about anything, is that what you mean?
Little thing called "spell" it is the first button on the left. It's okay in your hurry to be mean you couldn't waste the three whole seconds.
Transsubstantiation is clearly demonically deceptive.
