Agree!
Reply with Scripture, and those with heretical teachings have issues responding.
They literally can’t.
That would be you.
May God have mercy on your soul.
Have they watched the news lately? Or do they even watch it at all?
Where?
Who inherits the Earth?
Who inherits the New Jerusalem?
That wasn’t written by Paul either.
Food for thought.
The Bibles I use and read are probably not what someone would normally think of someone using. Yes, I got my King James, but I also got a 1599 Geneva, and digital copies of the Miles Coverdale and the Matthew's Bible.
From the studies I've done I found that anything produced AFTER the KJV was done using the Hort-Wescott translations, and they based their translation off what was known as the "Alexandrian" manuscripts, which are basically anything came out of Egypt, the Codex Sinaiticus which had over 30,000 errors and is the codex that Constantine Tischendorf was said to have found at a monastery being used to burn in their furnaces for heat, and the Codex Vaticanus. Hort-Wescott primarily used the Sinaiticus because they said it was the oldest known manuscripts discovered to date, though there is lots of debate back and forth on that issue. But overall most knowledgeable scholars say that those manuscripts weren't to be trusted. I know this will make my Catholic brothers and sisters upset, and I'm sorry for that, but this is what I found to be true.
Overall, I do not believe most, if not all, current bible translations can be trusted because they were/are based off corrupt translations. But if you use bibles that came out prior to, and including the KJV, you'll have bibles based on what are called the Majority Texts, which basically includes 97% of all known bible manuscripts, excluding the aforementioned Vaticanus, Sinaiticus and other Alexandrian texts. That's why I prefer the Geneva first, then the King James, then the Coverdale and Matthew's bibles.
I don’t need your mercy.
I’ve given Scripture and you ignore it. Typical for a Romanist.
Clearly not.
Bad news for you.
You beat him to the punch in post 92, by three posts.
And post 75.
“Authority is a sore spot in protestantism, because there is none ...
But I digress.
Those of US who are washed in the Blood of the Lamb have ONE HEAD AND HIS NAME IS JESUS!
WE have NOT replaced HIM with an IMPOSTOR! But the roman catholic harlot HAS!!!
The Head of my Church reigns from Heaven NOT rome!!!!
Sounds like I could use a copy of the Geneva Bible.
Sometimes, feelings aside you have to say the truth.
Thanks for your post on this!
You’ve already received God’s mercy when you were born again/born from above.
Facts are stubborn things aren’t they?
Absolutely 100%
Why do Romanists believe it’s theirs to give?
Just another example of them robbing from The Lord what He can only give. Typical...
The reason there are so many Christian denominations and churches is in part due to interpretation of scripture. I wish everyone with reading comprehension would interpret scripture the same way but unfortunately that's not the case. I would also add that it's not unusual that Christians come to a different or expanded understanding of scripture, which in years past, they believed they full understood.
There are some things in scripture which should be plainly understood to any believer. There are many passages and teaching which for me, are a mystery.
"For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known." - 1 Cor 1:12
ONLY in part. And not nearly to the extent most FRoman Catholics seem to wish were the case.
Most of them attribute the existence of different denominations solely to differences in interpretation implying that there are that many differences in interpretation while totally ignoring any attempts to correct their wrong conclusion.
Looking at the statements of faith of most Christian/Evangelical denominations shows that there is actual very little difference between most of them and generally the differences are over minor things.
“Reply with Scripture, and those with heretical teachings have issues responding.
They literally can’t.”
That’s because they reject the Word of God.
John 1
King James Version
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
These two Scriptures clearly state Jesus and the Word are synonomous. Those who by tradition reject the Word, also reject Jesus Christ.
Again, I quote:
Galatians 1:8-10
King James Version
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
If I can convert them I will. I’m out to help more than win, but I also win...
"Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying, Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen." - Romans 11
See my post #46.
Who inherits the Earth?
Who inherits the New Jerusalem?
The faithful, Jew and non-Jew. There are no distinctions in Jesus Christ.
That would be now, aka “the time of grace”, or the time between when Jesus revealed himself as true God and paid the price to fulfill the Law, and when He will come again as judge of all people.
