God commands disobedience to his word

Depends on what you mean by Catholic. I don't accept Catholic dogma or all the traditions...

However, it is Catholics that other Christians are calling Pagan n the whore of Babylon , so it is Catholics that I will defend.

Also, I have received much Grace from praying the Rosary. If that makes me Catholic whatever.... I take from each denomination what works.

It's pointless arguing with you because I've already proven to you that Sola scriptura is unbiblical... Yet you insist I haven't and fail to show me anywhere that the Bible teaches that scripture is the sole, the only, and the final Authority.

It's pointless debating with you.

Where did the Bible ever tell anybody which Canon of scripture was correct, or tell church leaders to compile the scriptures into one volume? There was a need for church Authority outside of scripture. That is obvious.

Jesus says if your eye causes you to sin pluck it out. My eye causes me to sin, should I pluck it out? Jesus said those who live by the sword will die by the sword, and then he says buy a sword, and said I have come to bring a sword not peace...

Jesus said you should hate your mother and your father and your brother and sister.

Jesus said many will become eunuchs for the kingdom of God. The definition of eunuch is a castrated person. Any volunteers?

Scripture is difficult to understand and leads people to opposite opinions.

 

The King James version, which is generally considered the closest in translation, says 'kill'

 

That's why more children belong to Catholic and Orthodox Churches than Protestant churches , far more .... really sounds like children do get it

 

Jesus didn't always speak literal... Look at how he used the word eunuch

 

And you haven't been honest when you say Sola scriptura does not mean the Bible is the final Authority. When I asked you what the final Authority is for settling disputes, you said scripture. That's not found in Scripture. At the Council of Jerusalem, the apostles had no scripture to back up their decision that Christians didn't need to be circumcised or follow Mosaic law

 

And no where does scripture say scripture is the final authority or that everything must be tested to add up with scripture.

Sola scriptura (Latin: by Scripture alone) is a Christian theological doctrine which holds that the Christian Scriptures are the sole infallible rule of faith and practice.

Then find out where such a Doctrine is biblically sound. You have not done it.

The first Christians obeyed church Authority.

I'm not telling anyone to convert to Catholicism, just respect those Christians who decide that God works through church councils. It is biblical from the council of Jerusalem that church authorities are guided by the Holy Spirit in settling matters of doctrinal disputes.

How do you know God wasn't speaking through church councils like Ephesus?

If a person wants to use the Bible as their final guide and sole rule for theology, that's fine with me , and I'm not going to try to convince them otherwise , until they start accusing other Christians of being satanic or pagan.

If a person finds that they receive Grace from some friends they believe are in high places, feel free to reject it... But for all you know, their experience may have been mandated by God. If God can heal people through a bronze serpent, certainly God can heal people through his mother or soul in heaven or crucifix

 

Precisely! For the sake of Christian Unity it has become necessary

 

How do you know the Council of Ephesus, which approved of Marian devotion, wasn't inspired by the Holy Spirit?

 

The Council of Ephesus was a council of Christian bishops convened in Ephesus (near present-day Selçuk in Turkey) in AD 431 by the Roman Emperor Theodosius II. This third ecumenical council, an effort to attain consensus in the church through an assembly representing all of Christendom,[1] confirmed the original Nicene Creed,[2] and condemned the teachings of Nestorius, Patriarch of Constantinople, who held that the Virgin Mary may be called the Christotokos, "Birth Giver of Christ" but not the Theotokos, "Birth Giver of God". It met in June and July 431 at the Church of Maryin Ephesus in Anatolia.

I believe that Council was inspired by the Holy Spirit. It was before the Catholic Church became corrupt
