First of all, greetings Snipe.

It was given by God. Yet my words mean nothing to you and I agree with you that many make that claim and are lying. So my words are but wind to some and truth to some and to others still, heresy. (General statement here) Light is heresy to those in darkness and darkness is heresy to those in light. But just b/c I say it, doesn't make it false and don't want you to take my word for anything. My only desire is that a person would take it to God in prayer. If I wanted you to come to me to learn, not that I wouldn't talk with a person though, that would make them guilty of the very thing I try to warn people about. Depending on man.
That is true, also just because you say something doesnt make is true ethier. I take everything to God in prayer.

Feel free to qoute those scripture, but them being out side of the Bible (if they are) kind of damages the credibility.
Dont worry. I said "
The bible tells us to hold on to apostolic tradition" and I will show you where.
2 Thess 2:15
Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours.
2 Thess 3:6-7
"
keep away from every brother who is idle and does not live according to the traditions you received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example."
Apostolic Tradition is biblical.

Can service deeper one's understanding more than God? of course not. I don't take sacrament, but I do take part in the body and blood whenever I can. Not many believe, so it's hard to find my brothers and sisters. But I have come to learn that there are more than I thought.
Service is all about God. What do you mean you "do take part in the body and blood"? where do you recieve the body and blood? and who conducts the service ie prayers etc...?

? Simple, God has shown me. I have not spoken with you about the Sabbath, but I don't condemn one who does not honor it.
Do you "honor" the sabbath? and if you do then how exactly?
Snipe Wrote:
The same could be said of you friend. I'm not trying to match compliment with compliment, but at least I can tell that you read what was said... Some, don't even consider they may have done any wrong indeed.
Thank You.

Oh yea, I forgot on the last post. But lawlessness is a Protestant doctrine, was not sure about Catholic perception of it. There are so many differences b/w denominations and so on. Some things I just say generally.
no problem, yes its a OSAS Protestant issue not a Catholic.
