Because you were responding to my point. If you’re going to respond to my point, don’t you think that a response should be pertinent??
Non sequitur. I want to know precisely what you mean by “God’s word.”
Nope. That’s not what I teach. If that’s what you think I’m teaching, you need to reexamine your perceptions.
The rest of your post was merely extrapolation from a misdirection. We weren’t discussing the morality of the Church’s actions by our standards. We were discussing who it was that was persecuted by the Church. You have yet to reply to my point.
No. You didn’t. You’re just vomiting passages. Your last sentence does not follow from the one preceding it. Therefore, the passage isn’t cogent to your last sentence. In fact, we demonstrate faith by far different means than “believing the Bible.” Have you read Isaiah 58?Nonsense I used the bibles definition or where faith comes from. Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. By believeing and following God's Word is how we demonstrate faith
Your Post #1000:
I already answered post 992. You responded to that answer by posting the same thing again. Repetition =/= “demonstration of the veracity of the post.” Please post a real response to my answer to post 992.
Prove it. Please get your fact right before posting
Your response didn’t address the point to which it was responding. Translation: your response is worthless to the topic under discussion. That’s what I “mean to tell you.” It has nothing to do with seminary. It has everything to do with your lack of real engagement.I gave you my response seems you did not like it. Do you mean to tell me you do not know what God's Word is and you paid to go to seminary?
You posted the assertion. The burden of proof is on you, not me.Prove it.
This is more misdirection. This isn’t about “not believing the Bible.” It’s about establishing the fact that the apostles’ teaching encompasses more than just the written texts.
Oh so you want to learn about the persuctions of Christians from the Chatholic Church? Ok here you go click me and happy reading. Let me know if you need more references. There is many more than this one
Nope, I did not misdirect anything. You made the claim you can get faith from other sources. I only posted the scriptures that disagree with you
What you choose to call them is immaterial. What they are in the view of those who set the parameters of orthodoxy is what matters. Your view of Protestantism is off. Take, for example, Anglicanism. Your reasoning simply doesn’t fit.Your heretics I call Christians. This is where protestantism came from. They left the church because the church was no longer following God's Word. This is demonstrated through the scriptures in post # 996 linked
I’ve already studied church history. Got high marks, too. I don’t need the Internet to tell me what I already know. You’re going to have to do much, much better with the burden of proof that is upon you.Oh so you want to learn about the persuctions of Christians from the Chatholic Church? Ok here you go click me and happy reading. Let me know if you need more references. There is many more than this one
Not really. It has everything to knowing God's Word and understanding what the scriptures teach. This is my point as this is the only place anyone can find God and their salvation.
