You ask if I have a read Isaiah 42:8 - I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
You ask if I have a reading Comprehension problem but don't understand the difference between a memorial and an idol. Here is a hint Catholics don't worship idols, or even have idols.
BTW why did God order the creation of the bronze serpent and the seraphim on the Ark of the covenant?
Okay please clarify, do prots preach Christ crucified or not?
Does your religion also teach that Christ is Risen? (I already know the answer to this) but I want to see your interpretation.
Why should anyone listen you you? Are you pretending to have authority? Have you received the Holy Spirit from hands laid upon you? Whose hands?
If your authority doesn’t come from the apostles, it’s nothing. If you don’t keep the unwritten traditions, your faith is not biblical.
Your god is a book.
Who told you that lie?
Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Are you saying you are none of His?
Ephesians 1:13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,
Have you not believed? It says "when you believed". It says "when you believed" not when they laid hands on you.
>>If you don’t keep the unwritten traditions, your faith is not biblical.<<
What unwritten traditions were the apostles talking about? Please show documented proof.
Romans 10:14ff: But how are men to call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher? And how can men preach unless they are sent?
Who sent you?
Acts 6:6 These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands upon them.
Who has laid his hands on you?
Acts 8:17 Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money, saying, “Give me also this power, that any one on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
Acts 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
1 Timothy 5:22 Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands.
Ephesians 1:13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation.
It says “heard”, not read. Of course what they heard was “repent and be baptized, every one of you.”
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Are you saying that scripture is not the word of God?
>>Who sent you?<<
Who sent you? Here you are preaching to me so I take it someone sent you? You're not being hypocritical are you?
>>Who has laid his hands on you?<<
Did you not read my last post including the passage that says those who believe receive the Holy Spirit when they believe? Why ask questions that have already been answered?
>>It says “heard”, not read.<<
See above. Again I ask you, do you not believe that scripture is the word of God?
Still not answering the question. Do you preach Christ crucified? I am not asking if you beleive He was crucified, I am asking if you preach Him crucufued.
Does your religion also teach that Christ is Risen? (I already know the answer to this) but I want to see your interpretation.Seriously have you ever read either the Nicene Constantinople creed or the apostles's Creed?
Apostle's Creed
1. I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
2. And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:
3. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary:
4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell:
5. The third day he rose again from the dead:
6. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:
7. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead:
8. I believe in the Holy Ghost:
9. I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of saints:
10. The forgiveness of sins:
1l. The resurrection of the body: 12. And the life everlasting. Amen.
Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.
Who, for us men for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father [and the Son]; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.
And I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
There is no interpretation required.
Define “preach Christ crucified”?
Better yet, he could define *crucufued*
How do you know scripture is the word of od?
Everything that is ever read or heard or seen is interpreted by the individual.
There is not a thing that is exempt from it and Catholics are just as *guilty* of their own personal interpretation of anything as anyone else on the planet.
That is a false statement and a common misunderstanding of the holy scriptures.
However, it's helpful, if just for a dose of good humility, to meditate on His suffering and that it (the suffering) was done for each of us personally. Not just "for the whole world" but for *you*, 2nd Amendment Mama (and for me, and for verga) for each of us personally did He suffer such great pain. He literally knew about each of us, knew the numbers of the hairs on our heads, much less every other detail about each one of us, more detail than else even know about ourselves, as He suffered on that Cross. He had each of us in mind on that Cross, thinking of every one, by name.
That is the point of the Crucifix. To remind us daily of this great love He had and has for us. Each and every individual person. Because as sinful creatures, it's all too easy for us to forget this level of intimacy He exhibits in and through such suffering.
You tell us.
Catholics are the ones always saying that Scripture alone isn't enough and yet when asked time and again what it is that is lacking in Scripture that we need to know for salvation that the Catholic church is privy to, all we ever hear is crickets.
You don’t answer any of my questions so I will simply be done with you.
LOL I saw your lame attempt at twisting the words of that passage. I doubt anyone with reading comprehension bought your tripe.
Thank you
I didn’t think you could.......
