If you believe the scriptures aren’t sufficient for salvation then you believe every one of these scriptures is a lie: And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness. - Romans 4:5 Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. - Galatians 2:16 And be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith. - Philippians 3:9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. - Ephesians 2:8 He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit. - Titus 3:5 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” - John 6:28 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Did you suffer so many things in vain-if indeed it was in vain? Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith. - Galatians 3 For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. - Romans 10:3

@@JC-li8kk Any contradictions here? Of course not! The Catholic Church has always taught that salvation is given to us through God's grace, which lead us to have faith and do good works. Faith and good works and intrinsically related to each other. That's what Jesus teaches us in the Gospels, and more clearly what saint James exhorts us to do: "So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."James 2:17 Let's just see more more biblical examples that the protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura is no biblical: "...Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. [35] For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in..." Matthew, 25:34-40 "...And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me to give to every one according to his work.” Revelation 22:12. Your attempt to find a confliction and contradiction between saint Paul and saint James is a disaster and only shows how far protestants can go in their heretic doctrines. Now have a look at the following biblical verses and take your conclusions. Can you spot any good works in these verses? "...How does it help, my brothers, when someone who has never done a single good act claims to have faith? Will that faith bring salvation?..." James, 2:14 "...You see now that it is by deeds, and not only by believing, that someone is justified..." James, 2:24 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments."John 14:15 "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works"Heb. 10:24 "By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples."John 15:8 "The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people."Titus 3:8 "For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do."Heb. 6:10 "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work."2 Tim. 3:16-17 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." ... "By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you."John 15:1-5, 8-11 "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil."2 Cor. 5:10 "They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work."Titus 1:16 "Let all that you do be done in love. 1 Cor 16:14 "So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin."James 4:17 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’Matt. 7:21-23 "Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure." Phil. 2:12-13 "So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."James 2:17 "And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done."Rev. 20:13 "And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God."Col. 1:9-10 "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you."John 15:16

Not to sound rude. A genuine question but apparently; and the mother and saints?

Small c or C [c]atholic? Roman Catholics focus on Idols of Mary Mother of [G]od and other idols of so called Saints. The Roman Catholics' plan of salvation is not biblical. It is based on works and trying to aid God when he needs no help. The Roman Catholics teach you must earn grace and that you can lose grace.

@@devere1299 it seems to me you know nothing about the Catholic doctrine. In fact, your words are Just repetition of ignorant protestant false accusations. I suggest you read the Cathechism of the Church before writing nonsenses here. The Catholic Church has always taught that salvation is through God's Grace. However, faith and good works are intrinsecally connected, and this is very clear in the bible. "Come you who are blessed by my father, take your inheritance..." "...For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink...". And it is also very clear in the book of James: "...Faith without good works are dead..." Note: the doctrine of communion and veneration of saints is not only Roman Catholic. It is also adopted by the Eastern Catholic Churches and the Orthodox Churches as well. All these Churches are apostolic Churches. As for protestants, they only began to appear in the XVI century. Far beyond the beginning of Christianity...

Do you pray to Mary? She can't help you. Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 ESV For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and forever they have no more share in all that is done under the sun.

In the Original Greek in Mark 11:24, Jesus commands His apostles to believe that they already received when they pray. In 2016, six specialists told my mother that she needed a pacemaker. She was so weak that she could only walk 20 feet in 10 minutes, and then had to sit down and rest. I shared Mark 11:24 with my mother. We prayed in the name of Jesus and then my mother praised God that she was already healed. The next day she walked a mile to go get her groceries, completely normal. She never did need a pacemaker. Just days before, she was so weak that she was hospitalized for 10 days. My neighbor was sent home to die because he was so low on the list for a kidney transplant. He was bedridden. We prayed the same way and he rose up completely normal the next day. He stood out in the front yard and stopped all the neighbors and told them what happened. I could go on and on for hours telling you about several neighbors and several relatives that received this way. God confirms His Word with signs (Mark 16:20), the problem is that too many are using vain repetitions which Jesus said were vain in Matthew 6:7. Also it is the prayer of FAITH that heals the sick in James 5:15, not just prayer. Faith is based on the Bible. Since 99% of Churches do NOT teach on healing, 99% of Churches cannot pray the prayer of Faith to receive healing. I didn't believe in Faith Healing, I believed: 1) God is Sovereign 2) God is all Powerful 3) God is in Control 4) God can do whatever He wants 5) God has a purpose a plan and a time for everything 6) God knows what you are suffering. 7) In His time He will heal you. Mark 6:5-6 and James 1:5-7 completely changed what I believed. In Mark 6:5, Jesus wanted to heal but could not because of their unbelief. James 1:5-7 shows not to think that you will receive if you doubt. How can you believe when the church is telling you that God does not heal today? You cannot. 1 Timothy 2:5, " For there is one mediator between God and Man - the man Christ Jesus." One, not 2 (Not Mary), not many (Praying to saints). John 14:6, "Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me." Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." Mary has no authority in heaven. Zero. If she did, then James 1:5-7 would be a lie. James 1:5-7 and Mark 6:5-6 upended my false beliefs that God could do anything he wants. In Mark 6:5, Jesus wanted to heal, but COULD not because of their unbelief. Matthew 6:7 says to not pray with vain repetitions. Saying the rosary is vain. My Aunt said that she prayed to Mary for 60 years and where did it get her? With tears in her eyes she said 22 operations and now she does not believe in God. She said, "I had my first operation at age 22." John 16:23 says to pray to the Father in the name of Jesus. To pray some other way is unbelief, rebellion, and yes, inspired of the enemy. I was so Catholic and I heard so much criticism from my Christian friends that I decided to do my own survey. I asked many Catholics if they believed that Jesus died for their sins. God is my witness, many said, “No, I believe in the Virgin of Guadalupe, she appears to the poor and she loves the poor.” Startled, I questioned them again and they told me the same thing. My mother had an uncle in the Catholic Church who was a bishop and they know better. They should not let people go to hell for idolatry. They should teach the truth. If the Virgin of Guadalupe appeared, then it must be the devil because II Corinthians 11:14 says so. It is the only verse that covers the topic. Don;t be deceived.

@@MrAlanKendall This is the exact thing I have been going through, questioning my catholic faith when realizing I have been praying to mary, I have been doing my own research, my friends and family are against catholicism hence doing my own research and realized that Catholics are idolizing Mary, the rosaries that has helped me with anxiety, the prayer, the statues....your message has helped me thank you

@@shan-i9179 Praying the prayers in Ephesians 1:16-23 and Ephesians 3:14-21 for oneself is like getting a doctorate in Theology! My Eyes were open after I prayed these prayers. Try it. I guarantee that God will give you insight that you never had before. I have prayed the prayers in Ephesians for myself, relatives and ministers and I have seen improvements in all within weeks. The "Our Father" was given to Jewish men under the Old Covenant. The New Covenant was not instituted until after the Resurrection according to the Book of Hebrews. The Prayers in Ephesians were prayed by Paul for Believers in the New Covenant. Having grown up Catholic, I initially rejected this, but after praying the Prayers in Ephesians for 6 months for myself, my spiritual eyes were open. The Our Father does not have: 1. The Name of Jesus 2. The Power of the Holy Spirit within 3. Christ as the head of the Church. 4. The Church as the Body of Christ 5. Revelation and Wisdom for Believers 6. Faith and Love within the Believer 7. Spiritual Growth 8. God Working inside us. 9. Spiritual Understanding 10. Authority over the devil in the name of Jesus. 11. God revealing your calling. My Eyes were open after I prayed these prayers. Try it. I guarantee that God will give you insight that you never had before.

​@@MrAlanKendalleven though im not good in English but at least i can tell you that the Catholic church teachings and the cathechism brought me out of drugs, out of fake holy spirit, fake speaking in tounges. and pretending miracles, and false testimony.i find it hard to believe how you prayed the rosary? I pray the rosary believing that mary can ask his beloved for my sake like in cana at the wedding, and I get blessing's because of respecting the blessed virgin believing that she is full of grace. My friend you cannot be a Christian because of bible alone, or bible verse alone, that was the problem of Martin Luther and that is very wrong. Many protestants and born again have made Christianity hard in islamic countries why ? because muslims sees them has people doing business they claim to heal,to give life to the dead which is like comedy they have never gone to hospital and make those miracles or mortuary to raise the dead. So to me catholism is the best we pray to mary not because she is God but because she is close to him she is filled with the holy spirit. If you moved from the church then its because you didn't give time to your self learning catholism and understanding the Church history.

Good for you. This is just my opinion, as long as your a good person, God would accept you. I have abandoned religion and pray to God above wholeheartedly and do my best to love and help others. 5 thousand hears ago, people have no religions, do you think God would send them to help just because they do not have a religion? God will accept anyone as long as he is just and good. This is just my opinion on the matter. Btw, yeah, Islam sucks. It is made by a fascist, pedo bandit warlord with dream of world domination using the name of God.

Missing the forest for the trees. There's nothing wrong with doctrines and traditions.... If they don't contradict the gospel of course, that's where the Roman Catholic Church fails. When we say "that is not biblical" it means that the doctrine you're teaching contradicts the gospel. The main one is how we get salvation. The bible clearly states that we get save by grace through faith. Is clearly stated that if is its by works grace is no longer grace. Catholism waters down the sacrifice of Jesus and what that sacrifice accomplish to the point of blasphemy.

@@Kopie0830 So you think you are a good person in Gods eyes? Then there would be no need for Jesus, the saviour. Ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you.

Our elders and Bible teacher expound on the scriptures. However, we do have to answer questions on a questionsheet in the discussion group class in person and online at present. We look up the answers ourselves during the week so we do have to make private interpretations on the Bible at times. Our Bible teacher is a facilitator not a person with the only opinion on scripture though he does add his opinion based on scripture sometimes. He realizes he is not perfect nor infallible. We often read through the verses mentioned at Chudh on Sundays also and can ask questions by email or text if necessary. However, we do read the scripture for ourselves a chapter at a time every or most nights. We are all part of the royal priesthood in the order of Melchezidech forever. Naturally we need godly men to help and guide us to understand scripture, but we are also to search the scriptures with a concordance or study tools for ourselves. We are going through 3 different books a portion at a time with three different preachers at Church on Sundays Matthew, Samuel and James.

There’s no private interpretation when you have the Holy Spirit as you actually live the Scripture. You become a witness of the Word. There’s no passivity when you’re a born again Christian.

1 Corinthians 15:1 - Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1 Corinthians 15:3 - For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15:4 - And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Acts 16:30 - And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be Saved? Acts 16:31 - And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy House. Hebrews 10:14 - “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.” Ephesians 1:13 - In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 4:30 - And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Once saved always saved.

@Jin jin Amen I pray to see this day.

@Jin jin because the reunion was made by force: the Pope conditioned the military request solicited by the patriarch to save Constantinople from the Turks to the acceptance of the temporal power of the Papacy over the entire Christendom. The theological issues about the filioque, the papacy, purgatory was and still is unresolved.

@@gc6432 actually, the synod of the orthodox bishops of America, no longer sees filioque as a church dividing issue. The whole misinterpretation around filioque happened due to differences in the 2 languages of the east and west.

Context is very important my friend. You are twisting the words of Scripture. God resides within the church, the traditions of the church are revelations of the Holy spirit, not the command of men. Just as the instructions of Paul were revelations of the spirit, and not "tradition of men".

@@jacobraji2442 but the tetrachies yes. the OCA is under the patriarch of Constantinople. for orthodoxy to start reunification with the Latins, they request for the Pope to: adjure of papal infallibility, dogma of immaculate conception, all innovation after Vatican II, reject purgatory,

Also because Christianity is older than the Bible as we know it

There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written. - John 21:25 -

As long as we are talking about what is not in the Bible, pope, purgatory, praying to the dead, catholic, an earthly “Holy Father” I could go on but I’m not trying to make anybody mad. The catholic church itself recognizes the Bible as the Holy, inerrant, inspired word of God. The Bible says scripture contains everything we need. And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Timothy 3:15-17)

@@darkwater482 was about to post this scripture but looks like you got it.

The Bible was completed around 300 years after Christ died and rose from the dead. In between, the early Christians adhered mostly to the Torah, the Deuteronicals, and Apostolic Tradition.

It's one thing to say that we are saved by faith alone, and not through works, and another, as some Protestants seem to say, that we SHOULD NOT DO works. That for the Catholic Church to promote good works is somehow evil. Catholics believe that we are sanctified, that we increase in holiness, as we do good works. Why would any Protestant say that we should not seek to increase in holiness, that we should no seek to model and mold ourselves to being more like Jesus, more like Mary, more like those Saints who have lived holy lives? Isn't Christians failure to do good works Satan's goal? If he can disconnect our words from our actions he knows that we will begin to blend in with the culture around us.

Christ hadn’t died yet, so he didn’t have to be baptized. Boom. Jesus literally commanded us to be baptized. He was still under the Old Law. We are bound by the Sacraments. God is not. Baptism washes away the stain of original sin. Baptism isn’t some “Optional, outward showing of an inward faith” as Brother Jim might tell you. I was Protestant for 15 YRS. There’s nothing there, bro.

Unfortunately, that is from the King James Version, which is full of errors. This is one of those errors. 1 John 5:7 actually says: "7For there are three that testify: 8the a Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement." It would be great if the Trinity were actually in the Scriptures, but it just isn't

KJV is a mediocre version, and that's not a Catholic/Protestant divide.

he WAS a Brother at the time of this video. He's was ordained a priest one year later after this.

Hello, I was raised Catholic all my life and attended mass but I always felt empty and wondered why God couldn't speak to me like He did to other people in the Bible. So I started to study the Bible and pray asking God to guide me. And I came to find the truth from God and that is only Jesus Christ is the only way to God. There is no such thing as Mary's intercessions or saints, purgatory or confession to priests. If you are searching for truth with your honest heart allow God to lead you and not man, because man errors many times Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

@@dorsw2402 "All Scripture," not "Only Scripture." There isn't a single Catholic on the planet who would disagree with that statement

@M J 2 Thessalonians 2:15 says, "So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter." This pretty explicitly says that not everything the Apostles taught was written down. They said some important things too. Jesus and His Apostles refer several times to things that happened in Old Testament times, but that aren't actually written in any OT Scriptures, so clearly Jesus and His Disciples understood the symbiotic relationship between the Scriptures and oral traditions. But here's the thing that topples your entire house of cards: I don't have to use the Bible to show where extra-Biblical teachings are valid. I can, and I just did, but I don't have to. You, only the other hand, do have to be able to use the Bible to show where the Bible says that only the Bible has God-given truth in it. That's your burden because you give the Bible Supreme authority. But you'll never be able to meet that burden because the Bible never says that. The Bible Alone philosophy is self refuting

Do you believe Jesus is God? Do you believe Mary is his mother? If so, you've answered your own question! Catholics don't believe Mary to be God the father's months but revere her as God the son's mother and ask her to pray for us in the same way we would ask a friend or family member to pray for us.

@@Jesus-is-Salvation shes not in heaven either

FROM DA HOOD TA DA WOODZ Firstly, look at Matt 23:9 again. Notice Jesus said "call no man *_your_* father..." So, a Catholic who was visited by a priest while he was sick, will not say " *_my_* father, John, visited me yesterday when I was sick", but "father John visited me yesterday when I was sick". Secondly, if we misinterpret the intention behind Jesus' words, then you and I should logically also not address the men who fathered us "father" but "Mr Smith; Mr Mott"? Thirdly, if Matt 23:9 forbids calling any man 'father' then the Church's first martyr, Stephen, sinned for this is how he addressed the Pharisees/Scribes: “Brothers and *fathers* , listen to me! " Acts 7:2 So my point is this: we should always seek the meaning *intended* by a given verse or words spoken by a person (eg Jesus); sometimes the intended meaning of the verse coincides with the literal meaning of the verse; but sometimes not. This is one case where it is 'not'; a case where we shouldn't take the literal meaning of the verse. So, what was Jesus' intended meaning then? He was getting at fatherhood in the spiritual sense. As one source noted: 'if we honour the father of lies, the Evil One is our father; if we honour God, He is our Father" And as for priests, Catholics call them 'fathers' as an acknowledgement that they are our spiritual fathers as they 'begot' us into the fold of the Church through baptism, making us adopted children of God. And furthermore, to acknowledge the fact that priests feed us with the sacraments of the Church (eg Eucharist, Confession, etc), so that we are constantly renewed to keep going on in our journey to our eventual heavenly home. See www.catholiceducation.org/en/religion-and-philosophy/apologetics/call-no-man-father-understanding-matthew-23-9.html Hope the above helps. Peace

Because it's bad translation from ancient greek. The term that is used in greek text should be translated rather like Myfather or something like that. This term was used not to refer to someone's father, but rather to king or emperor, or to pagan gods. Evangelist is trying to say, that this term (Myfather) should be used only when refering to God, because only He deserves so much honor and worship as this pronoun contained (and also much more).

@27foe esxlvx0 which one specifically?

@27foe esxlvx0 , me too! Born into the Catholic faith. Baptized as a babe. Confirmed as a teenager. Spent 12 years in Catholic school. Funnily enough, Catholics never read the Bible, only in church. That's because they need someone else to interpret it for them. I left Catholic school thinking that there were many roads to God, not just Yeshua. I entered college a wicked sinner who thought I was a godly person. I couldn't have been more wrong. I spent the next few years racking up sins. Shortly after college, I went looking for the Truth. I didn't know at the time that Truth had a name. It's Yeshua. Praise Him! He called me out of the church. I will never forget the moment I was born again. I never knew what it meant, until then. In a instant everything I believed changed. Everything I thought was true was revealed as a lie. I had never felt the presence of God until that moment. I was alone in my car, and I just knew that Yeshua was the only way! The Holy Spirit came into my heart, and I have never been the same. I don't think it's possible for Catholics to be born again, and still be Catholic. Born again means you change. Everything you believe is revealed as a lie, and you realize only Yeshua is Truth. Catholics think they're the only ones with the truth, so I don't think as a whole they will humble themselves. Just an opinion. Looking back, it really makes me upset that catholicism claims to hold the keys to heaven, yet not a single Catholic knows where they will end up. If catholicism holds the keys to heaven, why won't they tell their congregants how to get there? I do think it's funny that the priest admitted: "everything one needs for salvation can be found in Scripture." Yup! So why would anyone need the Catholic church? Do Catholics really believe that a church that is a political power, and has spent centuries murdering people and molesting children, mostly boys, is the church God chose for His own? Catholic means universal. God's church isn't a denomination. It's the true followers of Yeshua all over the world.

Alex Blonigen: Study Scripture. You will find that Calvanism is just as false as Catholicism, but that both groups have devout Christians. This video does not help because the speaker failed to show any correlation between Catholic doctrines and Scripture. He pointed out that the Hail Mary is based on Luke, sure, but we all knew that. He fails to show why he rejects The Lord's Prayer and all of Jesus' teachings on prayer (Pray to The Father in the name of Jesus) in favor of praying to Mary and Saints. Show the passage where Jesus said, "I forgot to mention that you can pray to my mother or other Saints as well." Study Scripture and live.

It's not about who knows the most scripture. Remember Satan quoted scripture to Jesus in the wilderness. It is about accepting Christ and believing in His Word here on earth and when you stand before a Holy God will you be cloth in the righteousness of Jesus Christ or cloth with sin and filthy rags of your works.

Mullet Mayhem TRADITION and TRUTH In Colossians 2, Paul tells us to “see to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ” (Colossians 2:8). Tradition never outranks truth. Sure, some may call a certain view “Christian tradition” or certain idea a Christian “principle” or “rule.” But we should not worship at the feet of traditions, principles, or rules. Instead, we worship Jesus, who is the truth. We don’t need principles. We need the person of Christ. Christianity is not about rules. It’s about letting Christ rule. We should not be suckers for the sales pitch of tradition when it clashes with the simple message of the cross and the resurrection. Don’t ever buy the idea that a belief is correct just because it’s old. We are as capable today of understanding God’s Word and of being taught by the Holy Spirit as anyone else in history, including the early church fathers. How we are taught? By submitting to God’s Spirit and asking Him to teach us. We don’t need “ism.” We don’t need to follow along denominational lines. We don’t need to worry about being labeled or categorized as part of a movement. We simply need the Holy Spirit to enlighten us to the finished work of the cross, the power of resurrection, and what it means for us to walk in newness of life. 🙏❤️

Gerald Tary II Exactly! Poor catholic people. I’ve been there for 47 years and now i can see how dark their doctrine!

The Supreme Court analogy is actually the best argument against the Magesterium. We can look at the Constitution and it is obvious there is no such "right to privacy" and this was invented by the court to allow the murder of babies on the womb. Look at the horrid Dred Scott decision, and more. Instead, one with a conscience can look at the constitution and see how those decisions were great perversions, and live against them, lobbying for there to be a correction, just like the Reformers of the Reformation did with the Scriptures and the state of the Church at that time.

I also think studying church histories and writings of scholars Protestants, Catholic, Orthodox or Coptic can lead to greater understanding and discipleship. " To add to that, the fact that the Scriptures are sufficient does not mean that we ignore what others have written or said in the past, it simply means that whatever they have said must be evaluated in light of Scripture. We do not disregard what others have said on particular topics, but we do evaluate their words in light of our only trustworthy source; the Bible. While the conclusions of others may be helpful, they are not authoritative in any sense of the word and when a tradition is not founded in biblical exegesis, it must be rejected. God Bless!

For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.” -Ephesians 2:8-10 (ESV) “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

@@MatthewChristn I wouldn't go that far. The Bible you hold in your hands and the doctrines you know of have come from early church fathers who were all Catholics.

@@MrKev1664 I know what purgatory is. Read what I wrote. Luther hated the idea of catholics withholding salvation and telling people to buy their loved ones out of purgatory. Hence, the reformation. He agreed with the gospel. But the Catholic Church became a church of power. Never what Jesus intended. I believe we must be perfect like Jesus says, and if purgatory is what does that, then I trust the Father's process. You attack protestants like we are the enemy. There are lukewarm catholics that will end up in hell by just going through the rituals just like there will be lukewarm protestants in hell for the same thing. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Read Hebrews 11. I believe Jesus just like you my friend, our perspectives and interpretations of scripture are different. God knows what we want before we ask, Matthew 6, so I will pray to my father. Jesus literally says, "pray like this" beginning with "our father." I will pray to the God of the universe alone. We take communion. We eat the "body" and the "blood" of Jesus just like you do. Jesus took bread, and he took wine. Do you not see that Jesus used metaphors in his teachings all the time? That is how I interpret it. Catholic Churches were not the original. It became established as a building and use of power in 325 AD. Jesus' apostles were the original church. I am not open to guidance wherever it comes from because men are sinners and in need of Jesus. I will test everything to the Holy spirit and with scripture. I teach Jesus is the only way to the father. I teach Jesus is the way to salvation. Then I give them SCRIPTURE to test everything in life and to hold fast to. A christian group in China who is persecuted for having church needs a doctrine to believe in, and that is Scripture. Not teachings outside of the bible based on feelings. A group in Africa who lives in a muslim country and will be killed for their faith. Do they need the Catholic Church to be saved? NO. They need the gospel. They need Jesus. They need the Father to save them. Their christian community is for support and for edification of the Father and one another. I challenge you to go to a third world country or even to Europe (where 2% profess relationship with Jesus) and tell me that they need a Catholic Church for salvation. Especially in Europe where Catholicism was enormous, and now promotes a post christian culture. These people need Jesus and his word. (sola scriptura) and for the Father to save them. I preach the gospel and the gospel alone. Good day.

MrKev1664 how about this. You stick to trying to promote religion on KZfaq and I’ll share the good news of what the father did through Jesus and how the Holy Spirit is alive in us today all over the earth. With the word of God as my foundation. Good day.

MrKev1664 Sure I’ll share the gospel. Maybe you’ve never heard it. God created everything you see. He created man and called it good. We had a perfect relationship with Yahweh. Yet we turned to our own desires, disobeyed God, and became separated from God. We missed the mark of perfection. Therefore, needed a way to be made right before him. In order to be made right with God we needed to obey the laws God provided and live righteously to be with him. But God, in his mercy, sent his only son, who is also God, to pay for our sins and give us a righteousness not our own and not by our own doing. Jesus, his son, died the death we deserve and fulfilled all of the laws and statues God demanded in the early days of his covenant with man. This covenant that God made with man was complete when he sent his son Jesus to die. This Covenant is an invitation to us now. If we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord, and believe that he was raised back to life, then we will have salvation from our sin and from eternal death and separation from God. We will be made whole. Jesus became sin for us, who knew no sin, so that we may become the righteousness of God. God invites us into his original plan of perfection and relationship. But he also invites us to Go and tell all who are separated so that one day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord and God of all. Amen.

MrKev1664 MrKev1664 I’m done arguing with you. Obviously you strive for relationship with Jesus. A relationship that gives up everything like his disciples in Matthew 4. I’ve done that my friend. I gave up everything to follow Jesus. That’s where discipleship comes in. I SHOW people how to live once they accept Christ. If you think I’m preaching a false gospel (which I certainly am not) then pray for me that God reveals the truth. I think we are done here. Gods word is final.

MrKev1664 thanks for your information. I’ll keep that in mind.

Beautifully said!

Manuel Faelnar yes they both are the same and they both need to call on Jesus Christ and receive their free gift of forgiveness and salvation Luke 23:34-44 Romans 10:9-13. Everyone who calls on the name of Lord Jesus will be saved Call on Jesus now and be saved

His only arguments are PROJECTION, HYPOCRISY, and LIES. He is a child of his father Satan, who is the father of all lies. He's on his way to hell, and he couldn't be happier about it. Tertullian clarified his understanding of the Lord’s Table by noting that the bread and the cup were symbols of Christ’s body and blood. In that same vein, we find that many of the church fathers similarly clarified their understanding of the eucharist by describing it in symbolic and spiritual terms. At times, they echoed the language of Christ (e.g. "This is My body" and "This is My blood") when describing the Lord's Table. Yet, in other places, it becomes clear that they intended this language to be ultimately understood in spiritual and symbolic terms. Here are a number of examples that demonstrate this point: The Didache, written in the late-first or early-second century, referred to the elements of the Lord’s table as “spiritual food and drink” (The Didache, 9). The long passage detailing the Lord's Table in this early Christian document gives no hint of transubstantiation whatsoever. Justin Martyr (110-165) spoke of “the bread which our Christ gave us to offer in remembrance of the Body which He assumed for the sake of those who believe in Him, for whom He also suffered, and also to the cup which He taught us to offer in the Eucharist, in commemoration of His blood"(Dialogue with Trypho, 70). Clement of Alexandria explained that, “The Scripture, accordingly, has named wine the symbol of the sacred blood” (The Instructor, 2.2). Origen similarly noted, “We have a symbol of gratitude to God in the bread which we call the Eucharist” (Against Celsus, 8.57). Cyprian (200-258), who sometimes described the eucharist using very literal language, spoke against any who might use mere water for their celebration of the Lord’s Table. In condemning such practices, he explained that the cup of the Lord is a representation of the blood of Christ: “I marvel much whence this practice has arisen, that in some places, contrary to Evangelical and Apostolic discipline, water is offered in the Cup of the Lord, which alone cannot represent the Blood of Christ” (Epistle 63.7). Eusebius of Caesarea (263-340) espoused a symbolic view in his Proof of the Gospel: For with the wine which was indeed the symbol of His blood, He cleanses them that are baptized into His death, and believe on His blood, of their old sins, washing them away and purifying their old garments and vesture, so that they, ransomed by the precious blood of the divine spiritual grapes, and with the wine from this vine, "put off the old man with his deeds, and put on the new man which is renewed into knowledge in the image of Him that created him." . . . He gave to His disciples, when He said, "Take, drink; this is my blood that is shed for you for the remission of sins: this do in remembrance of me." And, "His teeth are white as milk," show the brightness and purity of the sacramental food. For again, He gave Himself the symbols of His divine dispensation to His disciples, when He bade them make the likeness of His own Body. For since He no more was to take pleasure in bloody sacrifices, or those ordained by Moses in the slaughter of animals of various kinds, and was to give them bread to use as the symbol of His Body, He taught the purity and brightness of such food by saying, “And his teeth are white as milk” (Demonstratia Evangelica, 8.1.76-80). Athanasius (296-373) similarly contended that the elements of the Eucharist are to be understood spiritually, not physically: “[W]hat He says is not fleshly but spiritual. For how many would the body suffice for eating, that it should become the food for the whole world? But for this reason He made mention of the ascension of the Son of Man into heaven, in order that He might draw them away from the bodily notion, and that from henceforth they might learn that the aforesaid flesh was heavenly eating from above and spiritual food given by Him.” (Festal Letter, 4.19) Augustine (354-430), also, clarified that the Lord’s Table was to be understood in spiritual terms: “Understand spiritually what I said; you are not to eat this body which you see; nor to drink that blood which they who will crucify me shall pour forth. . . . Although it is needful that this be visibly celebrated, yet it must be spiritually understood” (Exposition of the Psalms, 99.8). He also explained the eucharistic elements as symbols. Speaking of Christ, Augustine noted: “He committed and delivered to His disciples the figure [or symbol] of His Body and Blood.” (Exposition of the Psalms, 3.1). And in another place, quoting the Lord Jesus, Augustine further explained: “‘Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man,’ says Christ, ‘and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.’ This seems to enjoin a crime or a vice; it is therefore a figure [or symbol], enjoining that we should have a share in the sufferings of our Lord, and that we should retain a sweet and profitable memory of the fact that His flesh was wounded and crucified for us (On Christian Doctrine, 3.16.24). A number of similar quotations from the church fathers could be given to make the point that-at least for many of the fathers-the elements of the eucharist were ultimately understood in symbolic or spiritual terms. In other words, they did not hold to the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation. To be sure, they often reiterated the language of Christ when He said, “This is My body” and “This is My blood.” They especially used such language in defending the reality of His incarnation against Gnostic, docetic heretics who denied the reality of Christ's physical body. At the same time, however, they clarified their understanding of the Lord’s Table by further explaining that they ultimately recognized the elements of the Lord's Table to be symbols-figures which represented and commemorated the physical reality of our Lord’s body and blood.

It's important not to take a passage out of its context. The passage is referring to idols that were to stand as a representation of or replacement of God. It is not a prohibition against any art, or any image for that matter. If we read throughout the rest of Exodus, we will find that God prescribes the creation of seraphs and angels on the tabernacle and in the Temple. All throughout, in fact, there are images. Art, particularly religious art, has played an important part in worship for millennia. For us, the images of saints are not a replacement for God for we are not worshipping them. Like any art, they are meant to inspire, to remind us of the heroic lives that they lived, and to bring us closer to communion with God through them.

Thank you

Acts 16:30 - And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be Saved? Acts 16:31 - And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy House. Hebrews 10:14 - “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.” Ephesians 1:13 - In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 4:30 - And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Once saved always saved.

@Charles Jesus along with his apostles kept Saturday as the Shabbat (Sabath) and not on Sunday, and Jesus did not give the authority to the apostles to change God's commandments, in fact God declares nor add or remove from his commandments and again the idea of making Sunday the Sabath came long after the apostles, in the council of laodicea and not from the apostles

@Charles Just because Jesus resurrected on Sunday doesn't mean that we should change the Shabbat by any means

J Sun we don’t pray to her. We ask her to pray for us to God

J Sun There is nothing that says that Mary wasn’t sinless

Gavin Grinny Exactly! We don’t talk to the dead. You see this played out when Saul talks to Samuel. Sadly this the devil’s new way of using half truths to push idolatry on God loving people. I know you are trying to do the right thing... I too was lied to. Trying to help you find the truth. Read the book of Matthew alone and you will know you are being lied to. Pastors should be married with 1 wife but Catholics have their priest celibate Jesus tells how to pray, that we shouldn’t have repetitive prayer (ie the rosary) Matthew 6:5-15. The Bible is the word of God. Read it. Get close to Him. I’ll let you in on a transparent secret... you only need God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). You don’t need anyone to intercede on your behalf. They are just a business. Find yourself a bible believing church

Gavin Grinny Gavin, please read or listen to the Bible. With love I say that you are being led astray. Know the word of God to test what people are telling you to believe. As you can see the Bible tells us we are all sinners... including the dead human Mary. Romans 3:9-26 New Living Translation (NLT) All People Are Sinners 9 Well then, should we conclude that we Jews are better than others? No, not at all, for we have already shown that all people, whether Jews or Gentiles,[a] are under the power of sin. 10 As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous- not even one. 11 No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. 12 All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.”[b]

J Sun well said

Great love for our sister and brother Orthodox Christians!

I love orthodox!

I'm am orthodox and am appalled that you would agree with a catholic

lpetar p he agrees with the fact that the bible alone doesn’t hold all the truth, but he doesn’t agree about the pope.

@@lpetarp3915 what is the difference between Catholic Church and Orthodox teaching?

Paul miller The interpretations where always in it but they couldnt see it untill christ opened there eyes.

I also hope that you see the circular logic of using the Bible to justify the Bible.

Breaking In The Habit I also hope that you find confidence in the Word of God in the bible. Biblical knowledge supersedes logic and human wisdom... Take this verse and reflect. The Lord has said: "These people praise me with their words, but they never really think about me. They worship me by repeating rules made up by humans. So once again I will do things that shock and amaze them, and I will destroy the wisdom of those who claim to know and understand." (Is 29:13-14 CEV)

Domino Puson Clearer in the KJV. Much clearer. But I do agree wholeheartedly with your comments.

The Scriptures as we have today didn't come from one source (writers). Does it mean then the Holy Spirit dictated it 🤔 If so, why are the differences of contents in the four books of Gospels 🤔 Which means either of them is lying (Holy Spirit or the writers). By the way, the Bible didn't come first. It's the Church whose members wrote the 27 NT books and who DECIDED the books as CANONICAL and fruits of the INSPIRATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. It was only after this that the Jews decided their Canon of the Books and removed the 9 OT books. The separated brothers (protestants) agreed to the books decided by the Jews in the early 16th century. Kindly read the Gospel written by St. Luke 1:1-4 to know the meaning of Tradition.

But you know that when Paul wrote these lines, the word "Scriptures" meant the Old Testament, since the Gospels had not even been written yet and that for him, his epistles were merely letters? And who has declared with authority that these books and letters were inspired by God? The successors of the Apostles, the bishops.

ONE LORD. ONE FAITH ONE BAPTIZED. REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED EVERYONE OF YIU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AND YOU SHALL RECIEVE THE GIFT. OF. THE HOLY GHOST. THE TRUE CHURCH. BAPTIZES. EVERY. BELIEVER.

Yes me too... :) Hello brother...

@Willo Lol is a PSYCHO stalker. He works for Google and likes to hack people's phones.

The wikipedia page on this is actually pretty good: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_Heaven#Historical_practice Read the "Biblical Basis," and "Historical Practice" sections for information.

MrArozas Heaven and earth belong to Jesus Christ, God the Son. And Mary is his mother. We know from the Sacred Scripture and Israel history that the queen of the king of Israel is not his wife, but his mother. So, Catholicism, as the continuation of the OT Israel must have a king (Jesus) and his queen must be his mother (Mary).

In the first century, the Queen was the mother of the king, not the king’s wife. Also, Revelation 12 describes a woman who gives birth to Jesus wearing a crown in heaven. Also, all of Mary’s words in scripture point back to Jesus’ authority. “Do whatever He tells you”.

In the book of Judges, a group of women were executed because they were caught worshipping the "Queen of heaven", and her symbol was the crescent moon. They were executed because the Queen of heaven is actually Satan, and Islam adopted the crescent moon which is the symbol of witchcraft.

@alray Directing prayers to anyone other than God is idolatry and blasphemy. It is the First Commandment. The Bible also says directing prayers to the dead is witchcraft. Mary was a sinner saved by grace. She even said so. "My soul magnifies the Lord and rejoices in God my SAVIOR." She knew she was a sinner and needed a Savior. She was nothing special. Jesus is the only One who matters.

true. jesus warned of making long repetitive prayers and being self righteous.

@@Kopie0830 Did you know that Jesus use repetive prayers in Garden of Getsemene... Do you think it is not long? Because he prayed there for hours repeating the same words... ALSO in revelation 4:8 , " Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come."

God bless you for your candor.

@@noelalmirante8982 Where in scripture does it say what you claim regarding the garden? This is the interpretation of Revelation 4:8 John describes each of the four living creatures as having six wings. His description is reminiscent of Isaiah' description of the seraphim he saw above God's throne (Isaiah 6:2-3). Probably the living creatures, like the seraphim, use two wings to cover the face, two to cover the feet, and two to fly. The living creatures possess multiple eyes, emphasizing their guard duty. Also, they praise God day and night. They sing about God's holiness. Perhaps their threefold repetition of His holiness is intended to extol the holiness of each of the three persons of the Trinity. The Bible refers to the Father as holy (John 17:11), to the Son as holy (Luke 1:35), and to the Spirit as holy (Ephesians 4:30). The living creatures' song of praise also extols God as eternal. They refer to Him as "who was and is and is to come." We, too, ought to praise God for His absolute holiness and eternal existence. There is a distinct difference between vain repetition (rosary) and authentic worship.

@@nightshade99 Did you not know Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane repeating the same words to God the Father... in Matthew 26:36-56. He prayed there for 3 hours... and he is repeating his prayers using same words to God.... NOT just the word HOLY, " BUT these words “‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’[a] who was, and is, and is to come.” DAY AND NIGHT.... read Revelation 4:8 again

Yes! 2Timothy 3:16

"So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter." 2 Thessalonians 2:15 Paul told Timothy all Scripture is profitable. He never said ONLY Scripture is profitable

Yes Luther added the word "alone" and abused the Bible just like 40000 denominations today are doing...

?He can't . It's not specified in the Bible. Besides it does not matter. What does matter is that it was eaten contrary to Gods instructions.

In the hail Mary....the fruit of your womb Jesus means simply 'product'. In French; fruit can mean food, or the end result, or product. Many mention apple, as people all the world arr familiar with that fruit, but the Bible never mentions the word apple to describe our first parent's disobedience sad drama. May I repeat the same as the post that was sent to you by another poster... What difference does it make?. The tragedy is disobedience to an all loving God. May God bless you; and yours.

Many people's problem is that they think God is a religion. Read your Bible first, so nodoby can teach you wrong things and beliefs.

Agreed. We need better catechesis. St Joseph, pray for us.

Yes many qre getting side tracked

Test

The Father and the Son are the Parents of the Holy Spirit, if many churches are correct. If many churches are correct, The Trinity is a Family-- two Parents and a Progeny, just like a human family.(Humans are created in the "image" and "likeness" of God according to Genesis 1:26) In the book of Job, which is part of the Bible, the Lord is compared to a father and also a mother with a womb "From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens?"-Job 38:29. Because God can also be thought of like a mother (Isaiah 42:14, Isaiah 66:13, Matthew 23:37), all three roles (father,mother,progeny) in a basic human family are filled in the Trinity. Saying the Father and the Son are Parents of the Holy Spirit is simply another way of saying "the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son" which has been official Catholic doctrine for centuries. The Church teaches that the Son is begotten from the Father. If this is true, the Father is the Father (Parent)of the Son. The Church teaches that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. If this is true, the Father and the Son are the Parents of the Holy Spirit. Of course, the scriptures are vague if the Holy Spirit is the 3rd or 2nd Person of the Trinity, whichever of these is true, the 1st and the 2nd may be the Parents of the 3rd. Parent definition 1 from Merriam-Webster dictionary: one that begets or brings forth offspring.

Vimala, please explain how Mary could remain a virgin when the Bible tells us she had several children?

@@elsemorris906 No it doesn't...

@@aceraphael Ace, please read the Bible. There is nothing that teaches Mary was a 'perpetual virgin," it says quite the opposite. Matthew 1:23-25 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took her as his wife, 25 and kept her a virgin UNTIL SHE GAVE BIRTH to a Son; and he called His name Jesus. Mathew 12:46- While He was still speaking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him. 47 And someone said to Him, "Behold, Your mother AND YOUR BROTHERS are standing outside seeking to speak to You." 48 But He answered the one who was telling Him and said, "Who is My mother and who are My brothers?" 49 And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, "Behold, My mother and My brothers! 50 "For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother." Mark 6:3 "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and AND BROTHER OF James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?" And they took offense at Him. 4 And Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his home town and among his own relatives and in his own household."

Didn't Jesus Trust the 12 disciples to preach!? Then how come you doubt!? Sure Pope is like us, but he tries his best, he may not be perfect but he tries. And God forgives our sins... If God wants he can give someone authority to bless on his behalf! Scriptures teach this!

@Corneilius John Ami I sinless? Are YOU sinless? We should not judge, otherwise we would also be judged...

@Corneilius John Geneva Bible wants to destroy us and Christianity! Does it have any idea? We tend to chose sides, and that's what Geneva Bible has done I guess, But Christianity is nothing where you would chose sides! Because Christianity IS the side! The side of Christ and Salvation.... I am a researcher and I look for things to learn on of such things you mentioned. I need to research it. Now, can you tell me what does Geneva Bible says? And what does it mean? How did it came to the conclusion that the Pope is Satan/Evil/Devil? In what justification? What evidence does it provide for us for what it claims? Is the evidence sufficient? We must be careful! Jesus told us, that we will know them by their fruits! So, Is the evidence convincing? I need the answee of these questions from the Geneva Bible, I don't mean that you give me the answers, but can you point me in the direction? I need clues, sources etc....

@Corneilius John I have done enough research to come to this point that Vatican preserves the teachings good and the documents well, and the Pope is the only line of a person that lead directly to the apostle of Jesus.... Which is very strong..... But other Churces divided themselves from the Universal church, is it good? Sure Catholics have done wrong things along the way, but so did the apostles in their lives, and so did we..... Shouldn't we correct them instead of dividing ourselves? You should know Martin Luther was not a good respectful person of the books of the Bible, he was like a rebel, he took what only clearly stated in Bible and considered that nothing else is needed... Sure may not be mandatory but does it mean it teaches that? It could teach more... I mean the Bible didn't end with short few pages! Did it? So, there is a lot to learn... There are people who cannot be trusted. I have seen people trust more the Thomas Gospel more than the originals, where by the early church fathers never recognized it to be a valid document written by the apostle Thomas, yet he was brainwashed! I wanted to show him evidence but he wouldn't listen. Also he didn't even trust Paul. Lol... And the main shocking thing was that HE CONSIDERED HIMSELF TO BE CHRISTIAN! So check if you have been brainwashed.... Or maybe not... Not necessary. If you would like, you can give me the sources.....

Nor can He be replaced by a book.

No that's Israel. The sun is Jacob, the moon is his wife(Joseph's mother), and the 12 stars representing the 12 children of Jacob. Its plain as day people Gen 37:9-10 Besides if you read the whole chapter it talks about how the woman was being chased by the devil in the wilderness which didn't happen to Mary. Another thing if you study Revelations you would know that it's talking about what will happen in the tribulation and the millenium.

Please go back to the truth
