HE did it with Pharoah and Egypt and HE did with other kings as well.

Read the Book of Daniel

Dan. 2:44 But in the days of those kingdoms the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, and his kingdom shall not be delivered up to another people, and it shall break in pieces, and shall consume all these kingdoms, and itself shall stand for ever.

You never quote that, because it conflicts with your abuse of the book of Daniel. Daniel prophesies an earthly kingdom that will never be destroyed. Either this is a false prophecy, or the earthly kingdom requires succession. Using Daniel to attack the Church is a religious crime.

That's great, Einstein- but you wouldn't even HAVE a Bible had it not been for the Catholic Church who declared the Canon of Scripture in the 4th century.

That's about 1100 years BEOFRE your Protestant Fathers were even
born . . .

LOL...In this world the Jews are accredited for writing Scripture.
You want to take credit for book binding, the JEWS works....whoop, whoop.

And BTW it the first notable Protester of Catholic deceptions was a Catholic....LOL

And you never quote Scripture for...
Bowing down to statues.
Mary’s supposed Sinlessness.
Praying to dead people.

Is there one true church? Not that I know of and I have traveled the world and have been formally educated on the matter. For that reason and others I fellowship with several different denominations....

.
You missed the point of my post. The True Church is not a denomination. It is made up of individuals known only to the Heavenly Father Himself. One here, another there.

YES, the Scripture gives us a clear view of Enoch and Elijah and God taking them UP.

But no Mary - nope, she died here on earth and neither Jesus, nor the Holy Spirit, nor any of the Apostles gave any credence to Mary being exalted above and certainly zero veneration of her.
An angel from heaven doesn't count??? In your perverted reasoning, the Angel Gabriel is an idolatror.

What is the one true church? The title.
It is often asked, “What is the right denomination?” There are hundreds, if not thousands of denominations all claiming to be this one true church, but does God recognize any of these as His representative on earth? This subject should be approached prayerfully and honestly. If there was but one church in the beginning, established by our Lord, there should be but the one church in the end — the church triumphant in glory. Colossians 3:4
These are your words....
I missed nothing....
And I disagree with your assessment. A person knows their relationship with the Trinity, their understanding of salvation. As far as a secret membership....absurd!

Let me help you out here concerning angels.

For to which of the angels did He ever say:

“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?
And again:

“I will be to Him a Father,
And He shall be to Me a Son”?

But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says:

“Let all the angels of God worship Him = JESUS.

7And of the angels He says:

“Who makes His angels spirits
And His ministers a flame of fire

But to which of the angels has He ever said:

“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”?

Are they(angels) not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?

Every catholic needs to read, study, pray and obey Hebrews into their life that they may attain unto Eternal Life.

In Christ JESUS is our salvation attained . The problem is many are coming to another jesus . The jesus that seems
to just go with the flow of men and accepts sin . As we know , THAT AINT JESUS .
Yet the JESUS who spoke of HE WHO LOVES ME OBEYS ME , they omit that one . cause that is legalism to them .
HAS GOD really said , DID JESUS really say , nay nay let us show ye the greek as they twist it all away .
Now who does that sound like . HAS GOD really said , NAY nay it says .

Of course I blame you for your false teaching.
Gods Word does not lie....All humans have sinned.
WRONG.

Jesus was a human being and He didn’t sin.
Newborn babies don’t sin, either. They are BORN in sin but they haven’t committed sin.

So much for your failure to understand what "ALL" means in Rom. 3 . . .

And this jas absolutely ZERO bearing on the fact that the Catholic Church gave the world the New Testament Canon.

As for the OT - do you even know where your 39-Book OT Canon came from??
I guarantee you
DON’T . . .

So, if they are born in sin but as you say 'did not commit sin' are they still under the power of sin?

That wasn’t the question.
The question was whether or not ALL have sinned – and I showed that they haven’t.

WRONG. :Laughingoutloud:

Human beings are creatures created from dust of the earth.
Jesus was no more a created human being ...
than YOU are God without a beginning and creator and maker. :rolleyes:
Newborn babies don’t sin, either. They are BORN in sin but they haven’t committed sin.
What a load of nonsense. Babies are NOT naturally Born Believing IN God...
Are you so corrupt in your basic knowledge that you do NOT Know..
NOT Believing in the Lord God.......IS A SIN?
Jesus was a human being and He didn’t sin.Newborn babies don’t sin, either. They are BORN in sin but they haven’t committed sin.

So much for your failure to understand what "ALL" means in Rom. 3 . . .

So much for putting your utter ignorant on display.
“Born in sin but haven’t committed sin” to you means without sin? :Laughingoutloud:

If you can NOT grasp SIN IS SIN, surely you don’t think I think you qualified to discuss Scripture on a level beyond your capability.

BOL...”Jesus was a human being “....... LOL.
Your Catholic teaching has FAILED you.
