Rome is still facinated with bones..

The standard by which all are judge is the Holy Scripture. It alone is sufficient to define what it is we are to believe and how we are to practice our faith.

Some of the groups you mention I know a little bit about and some I don't. The PCUSA, for example, I understand to be highly theologically liberal. This is why there is a PCA which is conservative in their theology, which I would call biblical, and separated from the PCUSA. I would consider the PCUSA apostate, or fallen from the faith of the Gospel.

The papacy I believe is that Antichrist, the Man of Sin, as foretold by the Apostles. I am not alone in this view, nor is it some new, novel idea. Viewing the papacy as apostate Christianity, or the false Church, the harlot of revelation, the woman who rides the beast, is a few held from ancient Christian days going back to the early bishops of Milan, the Waldenses, and of course throughout the period of the Reformation until the modern times when the new ideas of preterism and futurism, born out of the counter-reformation, became popular.

Therefore, my view and Protest against the papacy would be more vocal than of other groups, but there is not a bible-believer I know of who does not both preach posititvely the truth of Scripture, and also protest against the false doctrines perpetrated by papal or liberal apostasy.

 

Your calumny is inappropriate and false, but I gladly recieve it in Jesus. The website you posted is an offense to the Scripture and contrary to the Spirit of Christ.

Rather, judge me as you would a Luther, Calvin, Knox, Spurgeon, the Westminster Assembly, et. Relagate me to their camp, althrough I am not worthy of it.

 

Why do you insist on putting words in my mouth? Lori, maturity is something that you need. Because I regard the PCA, or the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, or Free Presbyterian churches, as biblical does not mean that I agree with every single doctrine they teach such as infant baptism.

But even their understanding of the sacraments and baptism condemns Rome.

 

Really really. Do you think I have not read the WCF? Or perhaps you haven't, or else do not know the relationship of the WCF to that link in my signature to the LBCF?

Would it surprise you that I have fellowshipped with PCA Church and was very welcomed by them, and that we shared the Lord's Table together?

And do you suppose for one moment that the Westminster Divines had anything in common with the papacy?

Now, that is the statement as it stands today, which the PCA changed, or rather, eliminated what the writers of confession actually wrote.

Which originally stated:

And this is still the position of the Free Presbyterian churches

Now, I have met both PCA and Free Presbyterian pastors, and regard them both and my dear brothers in Christ.

 

Since you added to clarify your statement, both the PCA and the Free Presbyterian churches abhor papal baptismal regeneration.

If these groups taught the baptismal regeneration of the papacy, I would not hold them to be my brethren. To draw a likeness of their teaching to the meaning papal baptism is to be ignorant of their theology.

 

lori, you habitually avoid the issues. And my guess is either you are not able to cope with them, or do not yet possess the maturity to do so.

If you think a man standing up and calling the papacy antichrist in fullfillment of Scripture slanderous...well, so be it. At worst I would say it is mistaken, although I don't believe it is..obviously.

And many of us bible-believers are very passionate about this, especially with the papacy, because the whole system of it is so subversive the Gospel. We will always contend against it.

Does this mean that we froth at the mouth and harbor murderous thoughts against Catholics? I think you would like to fancy that we do! How amazing this is to me! You compared me to the godhatesfags folks! HAHAHA

This like...Nero blaming the Christians for eveything! Lori, remember you are reading words on a page. You can't see me to read my body language, or hear me, to listen to my tone.

I can say it this way..I absolutely detest and hate the doctrines of the papacy...but I harbor no animosity toward any catholic. To you that may seem to be an impossible thing. But it is true for me.

I can even give my own reasons why I hate papal doctrines. I hate papal doctrines like I hate things that seek to harm my own children. Wouldn't you hate an idea or some thing that sought to destroy your children?

Papal doctrines hinder and hide and block and decieve souls from knowing GOd the Father and Jesus Christ...which is Eternal Life! It robs men of real forgiveness of their sins! Why would I not hate and detest that!

It is also a system that asserts to itself the glory that belongs to God alone. It is a usurper and blasphemous and arrogant! I hate that! Give God the glory ALONE! Who are you O papacy to call thyself "Vicar of Christ" "Holy Father" "Head of the Church" !!! God alone can bear these titles and fill their roles. God the Holy Spirit the ONLY Vicar of Christ. God the Father the only Holy Father! God the Son the only Head of the Church!

What are you that think you can substititute Christ on earth!

WHo do you think you are to claim power over all Christians, peoples, tongues, and kings!

You, thou papacy, rob God of His glory and speak great swelling words of blasphemy. I hate these things, and am glad to God that I do hate them, lest I loved them and fell headlong into the error of antichrist.

 

You must prove by Scripture and sound reason that your church does not teach a different Gospel message than that which is set down by God in His Book.

This is the contention of all who love Jesus. We do not know Christians by their profession, but by their fruits.
