The original was brass in the wilderness. Jesus explained why that happened. Didn’t you read the text?
It was declared so by the Catholic church...the Institution which Christ promised whatsoever you bind on Earth, will be bound in Heaven...thereby protecting her from error in matters of faith and morals....see how easy it is when you pay attention to what Christ said and meant???
Nope. Paul spent significant time preaching the real gospel. Around here, all we get is the acrimony.
Prove it, prove that ‘the priest of the RCC’ are instructed to (regardless of the small percentage who are homosexuals) speak with the authority of God. This should be an interesting event. I’m all ears, with HS antennae tingling in full op mode. Tell us, where you see this authority being given to the priests of the RCC to speak for God and to infact command Jesus and HE OBEY WITH BOWED HEAD AND BENDED KNEE TO This RCC priest.
Magic thinking on parade! ... “thereby protecting her from error in matters of faith and morals....see how easy it is when you pay attention to what Christ said and meant???” BTW, how many Apostles were there according tot he Bible?
We are always setting forth the Gospel. If you’ve missed it, that’s regrettable.

Like I said, you’ve just got your nose out of joint.
I’ve witnessed endless attacks, lack of grace, lack of forgiveness, bitterness, and discord.
And I’ve watched these things for a long time.
Even the titles posted are all about one-upmanship and conflict and divisiveness. The whole point is to have these stupid arguments.
Wow, and then you became wiser than all the saints and doctors of the church over the last 2,000 or so years....AMAZING. I have no idea as to why you decided to leave the church of Christ, but I don't think that it was a real wise decision. You seem to have done off on a tangent where you interpret biblical passages to suit your needs and desires VS what they really mean. We all, of course, have that prerogative but I, for the life of me, cannot understand why anyone would decide to exercise it.
It's kind of like saying...when I get up in the morning, the sun comes up in the east and goes across the country and sets in the west.....therefore I now believe that the United States stands still and the sun passes over it......looks like it, seems like it, but it ain't.
Oh yes, yes I do. I am contending for the faith and to do that at FR with catholics who are not yet born from above requires swinging a sword occasionally. The heresies of Mariology, power of the priesthood, blasphemous twisting of the sacred communion in Remembrance of Christ’s once for all forever, and denial that God indwells the born from above, well that must be opposed in order for those who are perishing to see the signposts. Have you been paying attention tot he signposts? Do you need oli for your lamp?
Christ died for our sins according to the scripture.
No, they look in their book of what's happening now written by the Wesley brothers and That's what they call heresy.
