So?

Why are you trying to 'beat the Illogicals'? You are funny. Even if you were 100% right about every thing you've ever written in here... so what? What does it amount to? It's so... masterbatory.

I love you, although I hate what you do. You remind me of how I used to think. It is painful to watch.

Yes, God 'trumps' doctors. That is beyond obvious... like saying that stars are bigger than atoms.
I believe God also gives doctors wisdom; guides their hands; increases their faith. There are, and always have been, countless Christian doctors.
The most important thing is that God receives glory, praise and honor whether or not the outcome of a surgery, treatment, diagnosis, etc... is to man's liking or not. We pray to God for miracles; for healing; not ultimately so the person is healed, but to glorify our Almighty Father.
John 11:4 - "When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby."

2Corinthians 4:15 - "For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God."

1Timothy 1:17 - "Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen."

Dear IHS, Chris and all...

Admitedly, I am usually in over my head in these discussions as I have only been a Christian for 14 months. I don't have the added blessings that come with being raised in a Christian home . However, the Lord has never let me down. I have walked away from a few 'debates' frustrated, but never with damaged faith. The more I have opened up the truth to the Romanists on this board, the more God has blessed me with knowledge, dilligence in prayer and study, and increased faith. I believe what I believe because, and I know this sounds cliche, the Bible tells me so. God is so faithful, friends. He is so merciful. He is so absolutely righteous.

In regards to the last couple of posts from IHS, I have a link for you to follow. I am incapable of teaching on the matter of Sola Scriptura (remember, it is 'Sola', not 'Solo' - two very different things)but this link leads to a video clip that justifies Biblically and Historically exactly what we Christians believe.

IHS - Please watch this: http://www.symphonyofscripture.com/?p=1193

If I 'speak' in here with any kind of 'authority' I ask you to forgive me. All authority is God's, and any truth I may speak is purely a result of His plentious blessings in my life. I have been in seminary for a very short period of time in my very short Christian walk. I have such an hunger for the Word of God... it is nothing short of amazing. And the more I know, brothers, the more I realize I don't know.

One thing is absolutely clear to me though. The Church of God that I read about in the Bible, its structure, its people (we true Christians are all Saints; we are all sanctified) the headship of Christ, the body of believers - looks absolutely NOTHING like the RCC. The church we read about, the church that Josephus describes - this is my church. This is your church. These people are my brothers and sisters. You are my brothers and sisters. And we are as far removed from the RCC as light is from darkness. Praise GOD!

Prophet: Where is he getting -
"If you say that Mary only gave birth to Jesus the human, then what you are saying is a Christological heresy. What you have just said is that you deny that Christ is fully humand and fully divine at the same time."

I just got home from our Sunday evening service. Our pastor is in the midst of teaching something extra-biblical, which is unusual for our church. We are learning the history of the Received Text and the Critical Text. I can't wait to break down the blatant heresy of this ethnocentric 'bible' being talked about in this article for you all.
Praise Him for preserving for us through the Textus Receptus His infallible Word! Sola Scriptura!

Prophet, I've read over the posts and I'm still not sure where Chris is getting this? Care to elaborate on this anymore? I believe that God is making headway with the hardened hearts of some of those contributors to this forum through our combined attempts to teach and preach the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. Let's stay faithful to this strange place in prayer, Brother.

Whoa! Hold on their Chris... You sound like you are about to explode, and that, my friend, is not healthy! Ask any Christian, as I am sure you must know a few, whether or not we believe that Mary gave birth to Jesus; fully God and fully man. I'm glad we can agree on this fundamental doctrine; still saddened though, that you haven't answered a single one of my questions. I will pray for more patience.

You must be grasping for straws by now, to try and throw that one out...I must stress, as I have tried to before, read slowly and carefully. You are so close, and so passionate... yet so absolutely wrong on some of the most fundamental doctrines of the Bible. May God bless you with both grace and peace.

I couldn't help but think of this incident in the book of Acts:

Act 13:44-47 - "And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth."

A similar incident took place in the city of Corinth:

Act 18:5-7 - "And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house..."

Reminds me of being on this forum some days...

But remember, brothers, to be discerning in your witnessing:

"GIVE NOT THAT WHICH IS HOLY UNTO THE DOGS, NEITHER CAST YE YOUR PEARLS BEFORE SWINE."

but...

Jude 1:22-23 "And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh."

I would like to add though that 'people being saved' is the end of true worship! I wasn't trying to downplay this. Of course evangelism is vital! Those who worship in spirit and truth follow God's commandment to:

Luke 10:27 - "...love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself."

This verse is emphatic with the truth that God is to be loved (i.e. worshiped) first and foremost, and that our neighbour must follow this. Without the heart, soul and strength in our love for God, the love for our neighbour would be as filthy rags to Him.

continued from below...

It is clear then, that God is SEEKING such to worship Him. Such what? Such worshippers who are in His presence not merely physically, but spiritually. And since God is Holy, he cannot be worshipped by anyone who is not of the spirit. It would be completely contrary to God’s nature to accept carnal worship. Well, how do we know what worship is carnal, or merely ‘physical’, and what is spiritual? By the criterion of TRUTH. What determines truth? God and His Word. God cannot lie therefore His Word must be absolutely true. We can only judge our truthfulness by holding it up against God’s word. The Canon of the Scriptures.

We go to Church PRIMARILY to worship God. The act of worship (which comes from the root word in Greek meaning, literally,” to kiss, like a dog licking his master's hand”) holds the position of primacy in all we do in our lives, both personally and corporately. It is our posture of reverence to the most holy God. It is, without fail, what we GIVE to God, and has nothing to do with receiving. If you ever see ‘worship’ in the form of believers chanting, speaking in tongues, getting emotional BECAUSE OF the music, and not because of the vital fear of God, then turn away from this!

My point is, going back to your words, that ‘as long as the gospel is being preached in truth and love’, while being quaint, are NOT how we are to discern a good church or not. We discern it by looking at how the church worships. If not done in spirit and truth, then it is NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR GOD. How do we discern? First, look at its Pastor. Then look at its deacons. Are they following the Biblical model? Are they reverential? Are they humble? Are they men of truth? Are they men of discernment? Do they remain separate from the world, or do they look and act just like the world? If ANYONE in your church should cleave to these Biblical standards (which all can be found in the books of The Pentateuch, Proverbs, Acts, Timothy 1 & 2, Titus, to name a few)it must be your shepherd. If your shepherd is found grieving the Holy Spirit with worldliness and indulgence, pray for him! Pray for the flock! Mega-churches are so popular in this day and age not because of the truth, because the truth is divisive and offensive to the world. They are popular because they comfortably worship the flesh. Turn away from this evil. It is an abomination before the eyes of the Holy, Holy, Holy God.

Dear pcmoore4:

While I believe that your heart is in the right place, I was troubled by one thing in particular from your last post. When you say, "the Gospel is being preached in truth and love," as a criterion to justify a church, I cannot help but be reminded of the passages in John-

John 4:23, 24 - "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."

The Greek for both occurrences of “spirit”, (not including the use of this word when attached to “God is a…”) is translated to mean both:

1) The spirit, i.e. the vital principal by which the body is animated, and 2) The disposition or influence which fills and governs the soul of any one.

And the Greek for both occurrences of “truth”, have both subjective and objective meanings. These are:

1) Subjectively - truth as a personal excellence; that candor of mind which is free from affection, pretence, simulation, falsehood, deceit, and 2) Objectively - what is true in any matter under consideration; truly, in truth, according to truth; of a truth, in reality, in fact, certainly.

Please be longsuffering for me; I know this is getting ‘wordy’… :D

to be continued...

I am saddened by your beliefs. While the doctrine of the RCC is frustrating, it is also heartbreaking.

You still fail at coming back with the following:

- Where do us 'Bible alone types'differ on fundamental doctrine?

this line made me chuckle, because I feel the exact same way about you: "...that you too who have persecuted the Church like Saul will be struck down off your high horse fall and be humbled before almighty God."
Except that the RCC HAS actually persecuted the Church of God, past and present, thus adding weight to the argument when used against YOU.
Persecute the Church!!! The RCC is not THE CHURCH, therefore how have we persecuted you? Chris, this is laughable. The persecuted church is not the RCC, not the Mormons, not the JWs, not the Scientologists- It has, and always will be the Christians. Christs body of believers.

Prove that the Bible requires the interpratation of the RCC. Or, prove that the RCC's teachings on some of the fundamental doctrines has remained consistant throughout your broken line of popes.

A final thought, how can you not be sickened when looking at the pope, the vatican, and all of the extra indulgences surrounding God's 'servants'? And don't give me that 'oh, but we give so much blah blah blah...' Saint Paul would be absolutely rageful if he were to walk in to your Cathedrals or onto Vatican property today. But that's nothing compared to the wrath God will have on the RCC when He returns.

Hi Chris,

Do you think I am alone in standing against the apostate church of Rome? Do you think that there are not hundreds, if not thousands, of Christians, some scholars, and some not, who regularly pound RCC dogma into dust using the Word of God alone?
Tell me, Chris, where do us 'Bible alone types'differ on fundamental doctrine? (you must watch this- http://www.symphonyofscripture.com/?p=1193 )
All you do is accuse, and you never answer the questions posed against your religion's man-made doctrine. The wide road trodden upon by the RCC, as they come up to the Judgement Seat of God on the Day of the Lord's return shouting 'Lord, Lord', will be true and rightous justice indeed. Get out from her, brother!
And, just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I don't like you. I pray for you in the same way I do for some of my friends who have not found the narrow gate.

You won't ever find me at a mass. I worship the Living God. As a Christian, I cannot overlook the Trinity, for the Word of God(and not the RCC) implicitly teaches of this glorious and mysterious truth. As far as your uncertainty of my beliefs go, this matter can simply be solved by opening up the Word of God.

Chris:
"If you don't want me lumping you into the fundamentalist crowd then start acting like a thoughtful Christian and do some research first before you make such offensive and rediculous claims about it being heretical."
I want you to 'lump me in with the fundamentalist crowd' Chris. I want you to know that I am a Christian. I want you to know that I have eternal security. I want you to know that as a fundamentalist, I hold to the Word of God as the Truth, and that I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior and King. I want you to know that we Christians have our foundation on Truth. That Truth comes in the form of knowledge from God. Not on the shifting ground of emotion.
As for my claims, need I say "here we go again?" I call the RCC apostate. You can go ahead now and call me anathema again if you want. This is meaningless, and if you've ever read the catechism, I cannot be anathema for never having been a part of the RCC. You could call the pastor of our Church anathema if you'd like. You can call many of our members, if you'd like. You are up against the body of the Church of God though. I praise God for how he's let you test my faith, Chris! Because of you, I have learned so much about the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, of the Scriptures, and of the RCC. Get out from her, my friend!
