@JesusSaves1500 The Church existed before the New Testament was completed. Christ founded a Church, commissioned apostles to teach, and promised them His authority. The New Testament was then written and entrusted to that Church. You have it backwards.
@JesusSaves1500 This just means “whoever does not agree with my own interpretation of the Bible, means they don’t read the Bible” Stop pretending otherwise, dishonest post.
@residentreformr Yeah is not about “better” according to you. Your opinion should not matter when salvation is on the line. It’s about Truth. I rather Trust Christ and the Church He established.
And even the ones you mentioned have opposite views on something as essential as Baptism🤦🏻♂️
@taco_talks@BibleInContext1 Catholics just need to teach the Catholic faith. Protestants need to deceive people by misrepresenting the True Church… They wouldn’t be able to just show what protestantism teaches because they can’t even agree on essentials🥱
@Gcarsona99@needGod_net These are things that we believe in not because scripture tells us these are the books of the Bible but because we’ve been taught that they’re the books of the Bible by the earliest Christians and ultimately by the Church.
@Gcarsona99@needGod_net Without an authority to interpret correctly Scripture, you will always have different interpretations and no authority to settle it. You can lay-down your beliefs “according to scripture” and they are the opposite of someone else who also follows scripture. Never ending 🔄
@Gcarsona99@needGod_net It is clear because there WAS a Church according to Scripture, so it means there still IS. It is 100% not the one you go to, that’s a fact. That’s why you have to say “the Church is one in him” “The church Christ founded is his people” anything but naming THE CHURCH…
@Gcarsona99@needGod_net See, if you meet someone who has no idea about Christianity, you’ll hand him a Bible and after reading it he’ll come up with the true doctrines and dogma… sure. And you won’t even be able to point him to the right Church. He will need to study scripture, look at manuscripts etc.
@Gcarsona99@needGod_net And I don’t need to show the verse, Christ, The apostles, Church Fathers and early Christians showed you the Church. Which is ONE. Very clear. And because you claim Sola Scriptura you have to down play the Church, that’s why it doesn’t really matter of you go to church or not 4U
