✝️ Church Sticky Thread 🕊️
This is turning into the "Church Sticky Thread". I'll sticky it every Sunday.
Look you're right that we are to have some body which is a communal Church in our lives at a local level, but:
Uh, the fuck???
I guess this is what I should expect when talking to a Catholic.
Doing it in a state of grace is what the church teaches (go to confession and be absolved by Chrust through the authority He gave to the church to forgive and retain sins for all time until He comes again (the gates of hell shall not prevail against His church)), and the early church got together at least weekly. Communion is true worship: the sacrifice at Calvary was once and for all time and transcends time, and at the mass, we are present and the altar and the lamb that was slain is on the altar and heaven and earth meet
This is what the apostles believed and taught
Yeah except Christ never did this. The Church doesn't have permission to do something that only Christ can do. His death and resurrection paid the price for our sin, only He can forgive sins. Nor do we need to go through anyone else to come to Christ, we can go to Him directly.
Simply meeting weekly doesn't imply communion weekly by any stretch of the imagination.
Implying that communion is the only way to worship God is so ridiculous and ignorant of most of The Bible that it's straight blasphemy.
Yes, which is exactly why we don't need a child diddler to be the medium between us and God.
No, it's not. It's what the Catholic Cult lies about while they ignore the actual teachings of God.
You’re right! Only Christ can forgive sins. That is why He gave Peter the authority to Forgive and retain sins: “The sins you forgive on earth shall be forgiven in heaven, and the sins you retain on earth shall be retained in heaven.”
Did Peter and the apostles get it wrong? Did the bible get it wrong? Did the appstles err when they gave that same authority to approved men by the laying on of hands and appointing of bishops, priests, and deacons? Did the church really get it wrong even from when Christ walked among them all the way up to Luther 1500 years later?
That's not even remotely what that verse means. It's talking about how we should forgive others ass Christ forgives us. That doesn't give us permission or authority to absolve someone's sin - only the blood of Christ can do this.
No. The Catholic Cult did, along with you.
Do you not think that protestant churches have deacons and other appointed members of church leadership?
What could you even possibly be referencing here?
The Bible is very clear that Christ alone is our path to salvation, yet you'd mislead people to think that baptism is required, merited works are required, not to die with mortal sins, that Mary is holy in any capacity, that Mary can receive prayer, purgatory exists and that people can be prayed out of it, and many other completely blasphemous statements.
