ArchivedDoes the Bible teach Scripture only?Aieno Wrote Is it not a doctrine of most, if not all Protestant denominations to use Sola Scripture and not tradition? Sola Scripture is not biblical therefore it is a tradition, a "tradition of men". Aieno Wrote Confession is biblical; "And when he [Jesus]has said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you [disciples] forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained." John 20:22-23 "Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed." James 5:16 "Whomever you forgive anything, so do I. For indeed what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for you in the presence of Christ." James 5:16 Why dont you practice confession? it is biblical. Aieno Wrote Yes I did mean the doctrine of the real presence. Aieno Wrote Unfortunately for you, you have not proved that purgatory is a false doctrine. And only your opinion holds to that statment. Aieno Wrote Again this is your opinion, you have not managed to prove that the Churches techings on Mary void Gods truth. Aieno Wrote Evidence? A title of the pope implying his supreme and universal primacy, both of honour and of jurisdiction, over the Church of Christ. It is founded on the words of the Divine Shepherd to St. Peter: "Feed my lambs. . . . Feed my sheep" (John 21:16-17), by which He constituted the Prince of the Apostles guardian of His entire flock in His own place, thus making him His Vicar and fulfilling the promise made in Matthew 16:18-19. Other titles are also used such as Vicar of St. Peter and even Vicar of the Apostolic See, but the title Vicar of Christ is more expressive of his supreme headship of the Church on earth. Aieno Wrote Scripture only cannot define the Trinity to its original, traditional definition of Father, Son and Holy Spirit being co equal etc and all three in one. Many different definitions could accur using Scripture only that is why we have unitarians etc...Apostolic Tradition here is vital. Regarding the sabbath my point was; Why did worshipping on saturday change to sunday? why is it that Christians go to Church on a sunday? the bible doesnt tell us to go to church on sundays. Its Catholic Tradition! Aieno Wrote I didnt say we was under the law or any law. Protestants accept the OT as the Orthodox Jews do, yet the Protestants reject Purgatory unlike the Orthodox Jews, Protestants (like you) reject the interpretation of Orthodox Jews concerning Israel and accept the Zionist view. So your point is? Aieno Wrote Orthodox and Catholic churches have much more in common, infact are exactly the same, the only thing that separates them is the infallible Pope topic. Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (Matt. 16:17-19). To whom or to what was Jesus referring when He said, “On this rock I will build my Church”? What rock was He talking about? Catholics, believe that the name “Peter” (Greek: Petros) is really just the masculine form of the Greek word for “rock” (petra), say He was referring to Simon son of Jonah. If us Catholic's are right, if the Church was to be built in some sense on Peter himself, as head of the apostles, then this supports the Catholic doctrine of the papacy! Naturally, Protestants aren’t comfortable with that at all, and so historically, they have claimed that the “rock” to which Jesus referred was Peter’s faith, or perhaps, Christ Himself. Protestant scholars have taken a more dispassionate look at this text, they have come to agree more and more that Jesus was referring to Peter himself as the rock. Of course, they disagree with the Catholic interpretation of what this means, but many now agree that the Catholic explanation of the grammar of the text is correct. And since you like to quote St Jerome so much, here is a Quote for you Aieno. I speak with the successor of the fisherman...Though I acknowledge none as first except Christ, I am joined in communion with your Holiness, that is to say, in communion with the Chair of Peter. I know that it is upon that rock that the Church has been built. – St. Jerome, Ad Damasum, circa 420 A.D. Aieno Wrote I am the one that told you about these "denominations" they are not denominations they are all in communion with Rome, they Just have different customs not doctrine. Peace |
