Defending the faith: A discussion of Catholic Doctrine

But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. 1 John 2:27


1 John 2:27 is scripture whether you believe it or not.
You need not a pastor ,prophet ,elder or other ordained called person ?

I'm hardly Catholic but I see a flaw in your argument as you argue that as I only need to listen .sometimes that voice isn't of God .God can work that way but why call and raise teachers when The Spirit works like that ?

I'm not called or inclined to teach .Im more of a oh look that roof is falling ,that church bus needs a driver ,I will attack that problem .give me a class yes I can speak and educate but it's not my purpose my desire.

The army ,that nco in me requires me to mentor and train ,but it's simply not a burning Desire that I love to .put a wrench in my hand ,a task and leave me alone or give me team I will go make it work .

My pastor is inclined to teach and mentor and guide .less so inclined to fix and my nature .

This is in part where mungo attacks you.i say that because while I disagree with him on the reformation it's true you are arguing I am my own pastor and teacher .

Sola scriptura isn't Solo me in the bible myself .it's others verifying that the bible does say it and it's that authority.

There are grey areas ,and protestants divide too much on silly stuff .

Can you be saved without a priest?
 
And nothing in your responses state that in-errancy was passed on to the Apostles.
Fallible men were entrusted with an infallible doctrine.
If you are alive today... you make mistakes... from pope to pauper... we all make mistakes.
Personally they are not impeccable but if they teach errors as authoritative ministers of Christ would be teaching error, lk 10:16

When we are young in the Lord we need men and women who are anointed, to teach how to follow the Lord so when we grow older we can become elders and pastors and prophets who are led by the Spirit, and taught directly by the Lord.

And accounted to whom?

Did you really think that pastors also don't need to be listening to others

A wise pastor in the late 1800s once said .if you can't quote another ,you shall not be quoted yourself .meaning if you can't listen to others who are your peers or elder ,then don't expect others to listen to you .

That's Charles hadden spurgeon.

No one does fully knowing the bible and perfect in knowledge .
 
It’s Elizabeth
Her Lord is Jesus Christ
Mary is His mother
Jesus is God
Mary is mother of God not by cause or source but by relationship
No human has ever had a family relationship with God accept Mary who has three
Daughter of the Father
Mother of the Son
Spouse of the Holy Spirit
So then she both not the Mother of God and is the Mother of God in your statement. You've managed to Split the "ONE" God. That makes me correct as well.
Why do you think Mary is married to the Spirit of God as I never read such a thing in the NT?
 
And no my wife can't become an elder .
A prophet isnt a teacher ,an elder is called to teach ,and must be married to one man

Kinda hard for a lady
 
The Incarnation, by definition, requires a mother.

Once again, we are witnessing in near real time how the Church's Marian dogmas safeguard and protect orthodox Christology and Trinitarian theology. For these are the first two things to go as soon as one starts attacking the Mother of God.
She's not the Mother of the Father nor the Spirit. You also have managed to split God in your statement. She is the mother of the Christ who is Lord.
 
And accounted to whom?

When we are young we need to listen and obey our parents and Sunday teachers and elders.


When we get older we should be like good bereans and check in the scriptures what we are being taught.

We should also seek the Lord directly and ask Him for wisdom and understanding in the scriptures, so that we eventually are taught of the Lord, as the New Covenant promises us.


But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel;
After those days, saith the LORD,
I will put my law in their inward parts,
and write it in their hearts;
and will be their God,

and they shall be my people.
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying,
Know the LORD: for they shall all know me,
from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD:
for I will forgive their iniquity,
and I will remember their sin no more.
Jeremiah 31:33-34


Here is an example of the Lord teaching Hs people directly like He did Abraham.


When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”
So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:13-18


The solid foundation Jesus builds Hs church upon is His sheep here His Voice, He knows them, and they follow Him.


He dwells is us, to lead and guide us by His Spirit

In other words you know it all .sure JLB .
Why is revelation so heavily debated ?
Your are post trib


In that 3.5 years from when he sits in the throne I can calculate the day of the Return and yet Jesus says no man knows the day or hour ..

Which is it ?
 
Jesus says no man knows the day or hour ..

By saying this He is teaching them He will return on the feast of Trumpets. The day or hour was not known, whether the 29th day or the 30th day, based on the new moon.


Our course you know this because your Jewish parents taught you these things, right?


For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 1 Thessalonians 4:16

The day is gonna be calculated.

Three point five years ,dont insult my intelligence you can use the lunar cycle to predict when the the feast will be.

Unless you think that God will change time and it means eons .

Either it's literal or figurative and if it's that literal then you have a problem as it's not meant for anyone to know
And yet people make opinions and say they know .

This my point .it's not meant to be known .

So maybe not the day or hour... but who said anything about the month or year?
