There's only ONE true church where you can go and get saved, and only one, that's the Church of Christ. The Catholic church is the #1 biggest deceiver of mankind. The Church of Christ was founded on the day of Pentecost on 33 A.D.. The Catholic church came about by a few bad seeds of the CoC who decided to please Rome instead of God, and so you have the Catholic church which came into exsistence in the third century. The way you know which church is of the bible is from the bible. The bible doesn't practice infant baptizing, having a pope, statues, praying to Mary and a slew of other false doctrines. To please God is to worship him his way and no other way, which the Church of Christ does. We do not have musical instruments in worship because it's not authorized, we have singing as God has commanded. We have the Lord's supper every Sunday when we come together to take of the Lord's supper and to give and sing. This is what God has commanded, nothing else. I urge you to go to the nearest Church of Christ and get right with God by being baptized and start your life with God, and continue unto death. Again there is no other church in this world where you can go and get saved, none.

Wonderful days lie ahead for the faith! After all the wishy-washy ecumenical molly coddling that has gone on for decades, leading to such a grave weakening of her witness to the world, the Catholic Church finally has leadership that is no longer afraid to tell it as it is. 30,000 versions of heresy-ridden Christianity might well jump up and down (and rant and hurl abuse) at being told they are not "churches" but that shouldn't intimidate the Church from declaring Truth, any more than Christ's enemies could stop Him from proclaiming the same. Only Truth (who is the Christ) lasts forever - all else returns to dust. Praise the Lord!

Who do "Bible only" Protestants follow?

The Holy Scriptures are the Word of God. This is admitted by Protestants generally. But it is clear that if the Scriptures are wrongly interpreted, they become the word of man. For, as the Protestant Bishop Walton says: "The Word of God does not consist in mere letters, whether written or printed, but in the true sense of it."

This is also what St. Jerome (who was the first to translate the Bible into Latin) had said ages before: "Let us be persuaded that the Gospel consists not in the words but in the sense. A wrong explanation turns the Word of God into the word of man, and, what is worse, into the word of the devil; for the devil himself could quote the text of Scripture…" Indeed, he did so when he tempted our Lord in the desert (Matt 4: 6).

Those who confidently boast that they stand by the "Bible alone" imagine that to stand by the Bible alone means that they rely not upon human authority, but upon the Word of God.

Certainly nothing can be better than to stand by the Word of God, but is what they call standing by the Bible alone, actually standing by the word of God?

Firstly, the Bible, though divinely inspired, is but a written document, and a written document often so obscure, that St. Augustine, though so great a scholar, and a Doctor of the Church, confessed that there were more things in the Bible he did not understand than those he did.

Secondly, the Bible, because it is a written document, always remains silent unless interpreted, that is, unless some meaning is affixed to the words, by someone. It is clear that the Bible cannot speak and interpret itself: you must take the Book in your hand, open it, read it, compare passages, and attach a certain meaning to the words in them.

Therefore, when a Protestant says: "I stand by the Bible alone", he does not mean that he stands by the Bible uninterpreted - for in such case the Bible is mute.

He does not mean that he stands by the Bible as interpreted by the Church - for that would be not the Protestant but the Catholic way.

Nor does he mean that he stands by the Bible as interpreted by somebody else; as that would be - according to his notion - to give up his right of private interpretation.

What he really means then is that he stands by the Bible alone as interpreted by himself, and that the sense in which he personally understands it is the sure Word of God.

And then he jumps on the internet to denigrate Catholics for being too wise to fall for any man's personal/private interpretation of their (the Catholic Church's!) own Book of Scripture! Of course, he'll tell you the "Holy Spirit" is guiding him in his (assumedly infallible) understanding of Truth. Ask him why the Holy Spirit would guide only his understanding, and not that of a billion Catholics, and he'll revert once again to accusations, abuse, slander and bearing false withness against his neighbor. Ugh.

The Church of Christ is "nothing more' than an extension of the Protestant Reformation, by Luther, in the 16th century. In fact, the Church of Christ "never" came into existence until the 20th century. It is just another one of the (current) 42,000+ contradicting, conflicting and inconsistent "bible only" Protestant denominational beliefs that have "absolutely no basis of biblical or historical truth to back up" anything that it teaches", and is based upon "personal interpretation" of the bible!
It is "relative truth" Protestantism (what-ever each person or denomination believes is true,(for them) is the truth.
Jesus Christs One (and only) True Apostolic Catholic Church, has, is and will continue to be the ONLY proven, authenticated and verifiable Church of Jesus Christ where personal salvation in Jesus HIMSELF is the daily relationship that is manifested in and through HIS One True Church!!

<quoted text>The bookof Daniel alone dome a pretty good job at pegging the Anti-Christ sitting above the congragation/RCC without the help from the book of Revelation.
Then we the following book:
2 Thessalonians 2:1-7
King James Version (KJV)
2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
Book of Daniel describes RCC?
Lol

If any group or person is foretold by Daniel and John, its Ellen G. White and the SDA cult. She claimed to be a prophet. She added to Johns Book of Revelation. You bit - hook, line and sinker.

For some reason unbeknownst to normal thought, you chose to see the Catholic Church in Daniel and John. Simply put: you wanted to see the CC in those writings.
If I wanted to see the Green Bay Packers in those prophecies, I'm sure I could.

Your ideology came first. Then your opinion that the CC is the anti Christ came second. They were hidden for 1,800 yrs. or something.' God used the Beast to compile His Bible; He used their monks to hand copy it for over a thousand yrs, then the printing press released it to you and Ellen and the 45,000 others. Now you've unlocked the secret hidden meaning of the Christ and His Ministry!!

Eh, this would barely make it in a Dan Brown novel .

Can you imagine if the church (body of believers) had no door (JESUS)???

What about all the wonderful blessings of salvation available in the church (body of believers???

And think about if it was impossible for you to get inside to receive those blessings???

You need to come to know that all (SPIRITUAL) are 'in Christ Jesus!!!'

Do you have the KEY to that door (JESUS)???

Not that it matters, but we have churches of Christ here in Alabama that have existed LONG before this 1906 date you mentioned.

Plus, if you happen to find a location that may be unfriendly to Christianity yet those people have a Bible and are attempting to follow God's Word. You will find a coC not the RCC!

Although it is harder to do, since each congregation is autonomous and answers to no higher authority within the church, the church of Christ can trace itself back hundreds of years in England. More importantly, it is the church you read about in the Holy Scriptures.

Yes it's at the Church of Christ, it's the only church which worships in spirit and in truth as God commands. The Catholic church is the #1 deceiver of mankind.

Confrint, you've failed miserably to convince me God can be jealous of such powerful artwork that does nothing but enhance His glory. To put it bluntly, those things were carved out of pure love for God. Your warped ignorance tries to manipulate the ten Commandments in a vain attempt to falsely accuse us of worshiping those things. I see it plain as day.

Confront answers,..

Jesus said..

Joh_14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Joh_15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

You have the commandments of the Heavenly Father ...

If you think that you can be in His good graces by your blatantly disobeying Him..Have at it...

But

from the trend of what God has said...Your icons statues and idols are and insult to Him.

Deu 4:7 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?

Deu 4:8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

Deu 4:9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;

Deu 4:10 Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.

Deu 4:11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.

NOTE WHAT GOD SAYS HERE

Deu 4:12 ==> And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice.<==

Deu 4:13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

Deu 4:14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it

HERE IS TH INSTRUCTIONS THAT MOSES GAVE CONCERNING CORRUPTING YOURSELVES WIT IDOLS...

Deu 4:15 ==> Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:

Deu 4:16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

Deu 4:17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,

Deu 4:18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:

Deu 4:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

Deu 4:20 But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.

Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Col 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

Daily Horoscope for May 18

Virgo

Matters of the heart take an unexpected turn today. You might be strongly attracted to someone you've never looked at twice until now, or you could fall for someone who's much older or younger than you. If you're already involved in a relationship, either you or your partner will want to make it more exciting and spontaneous. Is this a suggestion that will go down well?
