John MacArthur: Distinguished Calvinist Preacher.

I DO.

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Jn 14:25–26.

And He has said a great deal to me in my life as Christian.

You are an apostle? Sent by the apostles?

[jeremiah1five]

Sorry it’s confusing

We have no part in the redemption, it is Christ who redeemed man from the curse, by his life, death (blood) resurrection obtained mercy.

We must accept his redemption and doctrine he revealed, (faith & baptism) to be justified and born again.

Then a life of sanctification, (prayer, alms, fasting, sacraments, suffering, practicing the virtues of Jesus Christ)

Then we enter into salvation when we die in Christ. Jn 15:4 abide Mk 13:13 Matt 24:13 endure to the end.

Even a born again Christian can still be lost by rejecting Christ in apostasy or unrepentant sin, the sin against the HS is to die unrepentant.


Jn 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Rom 5:15-17

15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Heb 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

You're also good in confusing the issue by flooding me with Scripture.

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus. Heb 3:1.

Amazing isn't it.

What authoritative doctrine does the Catholic church have that is not in the Bible? Hopefully, someday a Catholic insider will answer this and not evade the question so we can see in practice that they do not agree with sola scriptura and that they do not stick solely to the Bible.

Bible does not agree with sola scriptura either!

You are.

Scripture confuses you? That’s why Christ established the apostolic church to teach &’sanctify all men unto salvation. Matt 28:19
Sorry I’m not an apostle.
Rather than violate the “golden rule”

Let us examine ourselves and see if our motive is the virtues of Jesus Christ, humility, meekness & charity
Matt 11:29 or the vices of pride, presumption, and arrogance.


Motive
Humility or pride
Obedience or disobedience
Meek or arrogance
Submission to proper authority or protest
Receive instruction or presumption

Saul thought he was doing the will of God and acting righteously with correct faith!

Then the risen Christ appeared!
The blinding light of truth prevailed!

Jn 8:32 the truth shall make you free! So false doctrine shall hold you in bondage!

Spiritual blindness!

Thanks

The Bible is the Apostles teachings. Give us an example of the Catholic church speaking on its own that you claim they can do since the scriptures are not the sole authority for believers.

You won't answer that because you know everyone will instantly reject it because it's not in the Bible. People don't listen to people who speak by their own authority. We'll only listen to the teachings of Jesus and the original Apostles.

If you want to obey people who invent their own extra-Biblical teachings, go for it. But we don't, and we have no obligation to do so. Only Catholics have to obey extra-Biblical teachings, or go to hell. .

 

[donadams]

Yes.
Sent by an Apostle:

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus. Heb 3:1.

Amazing isn't it.

The calling is an apostle must verified and approved by the authority of the apostles

Do you not see a marked line between the ministerial priesthood and the priesthood of the people

No, Scripture doesn't confuse me. Your understanding of Scripture is confusing.

Well, there were two apostles, and four prophets, and two pastors, six evangelists, and four teachers in Church when the prophecy was given over me with the laying on of hands.

Original KJV had the 73 books of the
Cannon approved by the council of Rome and promulgated by papal authority in 381!

The authority of Christ in His apostolic church gave is the authentic scriptures, and the authentic interpretation!

For hundreds of years the authority of Christ acted and operated in His apostolic church without scripture, and the apostolic church wrote the New Testament.


By what authority did Luther rejected Jude, hebrews, James and revelation or the English Bible society reject seven books of the Old Testament? No authority none are apostles, only by the whims of the “tradition of men”!

73 that came down to 66.
There is no spiritual relevance with regard to the apocrypha.
73 books that were NOT being read by the Church in the first 1500 years. There's a reason why it's called the Received Text.
The Church of Christ was using them. They Church of Christ received them. They are the Word of God.
But not the apocrypha.

[jeremiah1five]

Why should someone else verify what God spoke to me?
I have a direct line to God. No priests, no apostles, no one.
What God spoke to me is between the Almighty and myself.
And I KNOW His voice because He spoke Scripture to me.
And He spoke to me three times before.
I am friends with the Almighty.
I KNOW His voice.
Do you?

 

[jeremiah1five]

Did you also make yourself a priest?

I'm already a priest.

5 Ye also, as lively stones, mmare built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 1 Pet. 2:5.

9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, fa peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 1 Pet. 2:8–10.

Yup. That is me.
