So tell me, how many bishops at Niceæ I, would have taught this dogma as necessary to be believed as part of the Christian Faith as you do? For those who do not know and I doubt this will be forthcoming this is a dogma of Rome, defined in those ancient days of 1950 AD, is something that MUST...

Bigot? that's the best you got? You funny. I suppose catholic slanders doesn't have ready made copy and paste response that is sufficiently long enough to bore the daylights of the reader so bigot is what I am. The reason I use the terms Romish, or Romanist, or Papalist is because Rome...

Let’s remember, the Assumption is a Romish Dogma, meaning that it must be believed in pain of mortal sin. There in lies the problem. The Assumption at best is a pious opinion. To believe or not believe is not necessary for salvation.

This. I feel sorry for @Truther , if what I am reading is correct he/she has no fellowship. To give some context I spent two weeks in icu about two years ago. Yet I had my pastor/presbyter as well as my friends and other pastors came and visited me in the hospital and give extreme unction. I...

So, you limit the Kingdom to you and. . . I have huge problems with Rome but I don’t exclude all RC’s from the Kingdom. Only King Jesus gets to say whose in and whose out.

What church body, where do you fellowship? Where do spend Sundays or Saturdays if you are sabbatarian. Just answer the question or say that you don’t attend a church or fellowship.

I am Anglican. You don’t need to point out that that my church body is in serious trouble not because of sola scriptura but because the rejection of the same. The US expression of Anglicanism is the Episcopal church and it is in a death spiral from which it is unlikely to recover. To be clear...

So @Truther , since I read that you use an 18th century Anglican translation of the Bible, which delights me. So what church body are you apart of? You don’t need to be specific for privacy reasons. Just briefly tell us about then fellowship of saints you are apart of.

I would quibble with the idea that RC’s believe that the Bible is the preeminent authority authority. Historically Romish doctrine states that Revelation comes to us from two streams, one Scripture and the other is Tradition. Rome has changed since the 16th century so we get the idea of the...

I agree. The SSPV is full of people just like Gerry. Which is one of the reasons I left. That and the fact the church/mass center/chapel, whatever you want to call it was very cultish. I mean that in a negative way. More over, the Sedevacantist position is simply untenable. Simply put, no...

I am doing just fine with the church I have attended for the last 20 years thank you very much.

First, I was referring to the development of the marriage of altar and throne only. Lol. As a RC I would think you would agree given the many controversies including the investure controversy as well as the Eastern emperors’ meddling in the election/acclamation of the Bishop of Rome (Pope of or...

I have studied the early councils and especially Nicea I. The Christology and its relationship to the Godhead are present in Scripture and in the earliest writings of the church. So there is some variation of how the vote as you put it went down. All but two bishops signed of on the Nicene...

National Propaga. . .I mean public radio.

Wow, everything in this post is wrong.

So what part of the bible does Matthew fall into if not the New Testament?

Wait, why are you pitting one section of scripture against another? @Marymog is correct regarding baptism. Baptism does involve water unless otherwise stated. We would say, and we are on solid ground , that baptism involves water and is usually connected with salvation. Scripture states as...

So what do you do with Matt 28-16:20? 16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19...

That is a great question. The short answer is in the final analysis yes. Now here is where I qualify what I just said. The Oxford Movement or Tracterian movement was a reaction to what for sake of argument was a Calvinist revival that came before it. The Anglican Church since the Elizabethan...

He discovered nothing of the sort. Meaning that JHN was aware of all the historical problems of Rome’s claims. From the preface of the 1878 edition of the "An Essay on the Development of Doctrine: THE following pages were not in the first instance written to prove the divinity of the Catholic...
