I thought the Bible was the “only authority”?
Jesus wants the whole world to know that God wants them to be in His kingdom.
Jesus is His Father's Messenger and He told His disciples to do His will.
Mystery Babylon “pagan Roman Empire” was conquered by Christ and his church in “one hour”Constantine had a false conversion.
He became an interloper and busybody in Church affairs.
Really?Mystery Babylon “pagan Roman Empire” was conquered by Christ and his church in “one hour”

You’ve explained the Roman Catholic Church.Our age is characterized by the unfruitful works of darkness:
(Mostly cos we don’t listen to the church founded by Christ to teach and sanctify all men unto eternal salvation Matt 28:19) (Christians must be taught matt 16:28-19 Matt 28:19 Matt 18:17 Lk 1:4 acts 8:31 Jn 16:13 Jn 20:21 col 2:7)
Misunderstandings
Confusion
Division
Errors
False doctrine
Jn 8:32 “you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”!
So false doctrine keeps us in bondage!
Part of the problem is a single word has many meanings and may mean something very different to different folks.
“Redemption” “revelation” are examples
As Christians we are bound to believe both the “virgin birth” and that Joseph is the father of Jesus.
How can this be, who can understand it? Who can explain it?
The Christian must practice the virtues of Jesus Christ and be endowed with gifts of spirit.
Wisdom, understanding, counsel, knowledge, piety, fear of the Lord, and fortitude!
Virgin birth:
Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Matt 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Matthew 1:20
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
(Only God can be born of a virgin)
Joseph the father of Jesus:
Lk 2:48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
Jn 1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
Luke 3:23
And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
John 6:42
And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
How can this be, who can understand it? Who can explain it?
All the water did was wet the flesh.Ok also baptismal regeneration

… No greater jewel, therefore, can adorn our body and soul than baptism, for through it we become completely holy and blessed, Martin Luther!
ThanksThe Bible doesn't actually teach sola (Bible) scriptura (or sufficiency of). But neither does the Bible teach apostolic (or papal) succession. The God (the Bible testifies to) is sufficient and our ultimate authority (can't we just all get along)
Prophecy of the new covenant and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. (The new covenant church) Jn 15:1-5 (the church is the new Jerusalem the kingdom) gal 4:26 (one church) Jn 10:16Really?
So that's your version of Church revisionism?
I think not.
You were a member of christ and his new covenant church before that just did not know itYou’ve explained the Roman Catholic Church.
And being raised in Catholicism until the age of ten I can talk about it.
Then I met the Lord and everything changed.
It is the required outward sign of the inward grace washing our souls that you cannot seeAll the water did was wet the flesh.
1 Peter 3:21 (KJV 1900): 21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

1 Peter 3:21 (KJV 1900): 21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Blood is not water.1 pet 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. (Baptism)
1 Jn 5:6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.Blood is not water.
Water is not blood.
You’re just mixed up.
Mixed up1 Jn 5:6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
