In your opinion, but you make statements and will not back them up. How is that Christian behavior? Even in internet standards we call that trolling or flaming You are an ambassador of CF, you understand how that works right? If not, you can ask drstevej, not sure if he changed his call...

In your opinion that is the case, but the orthodox position is not backed up by Scripture. Prior to His Ascension, Christ breathed on the Apostles and said receive the Holy Spirit. They then had the power to forgive sins This is clearly an instance of the Spirit proceeding from the Son...

I appreciate your offer of your words. I know you mean well. I believe that it is only by the power of Christ that we can obey the commandments also, as does every follower of Catholic doctrine. We do not earn our way to salvation. I believe that we rest in Christ as our Sabbath for...

Brother, you display ignorance of history and seem to have a desire to condemn the Catholic Church. How much of the inquisition have you studied? What was it for? What did it do? How was it different from secular courts at the time? The popular myth is that they wanted everyone...

It is not my defense, as I agree that we are not told by scripture to eat only vegetables. Romans 14 addresses those whose faith is weak that eat only vegetables. The SDA teach to eat vegetables as a higher way, and they cite the old Jewish laws against pork yet they ignore our Lord’s words...

You use the NET, which is a translation by men. It did not come directly from God. Are you saying that we bow to the opinions of men as though they are from God? What standard do we use to judge the correct translation or interpretation of scripture? If we say that there is no standard, then...

According to Scripture According to scripture, the pillar and foundation of truth is the Church. 1 Timothy 3:15 The Apostolic Church is the only one that was founded by Christ Himself. All others came after or came out of her. She is therefore judged by Christ alone. No assembly formed by...

I have not contended to profane the Sabbath, nor is it no longer a commandment of God, rather it has been fulfilled. We are in a perpetual Sabbath of the Lord’s rest. We meet on Sunday to remember the example shown in Luke 24. In the New Covenant, the Sabbath and the preaching on...

The following is Catholic Catechism on the law of the Gospel. It explains in detail with scriptural references what we are to do. The above quote that I shared with you was from Iraneus, Bishop of Lyons in the second century. It is a rhetorical statement. It is not quoted exactly in...

Look at the Council of Jerusalem in the book of Acts. There was no requirement of the Sabbath mentioned, and in Galatians chapter 2 it states that if righteousness can come by filling the law, then Christ died in vain When we are called to deny ourselves take up our cross and follow Him, how...

Yes Jesus is the way. We are saved by Him and not by the Sabbath. We are in a perpetual Sabbath rest as described by Iraneus, as he related the Apostolic teaching Yes Jesus is the way. We are saved by Him and not by the Sabbath. We are in a perpetual Sabbath rest as described by Iraneus...

Well there is no confusion that Jesus rose on the first day of the week. He was crucified on Friday and was taken down before evening by request of the Jewish leaders, so He would not be on the cross on the Sabbath, which began at Sunset. The Sabbath ended the following evening, and He...

You need to choose your words more carefully. To say that I used “absolutely no scripture” is a gross mischaracterization. This is what is meant by detraction and calumny. A Christian does not speak as you do, are you sure you meant to say that? Luke 24 is scripture. It is the model for the...

So you admit it is your own reasoning that brings you to this conclusion?

You start with the Catechism but then deviate to secondary and tertiary sources that give their commentary on what the Church teaches rather than sticking to what the Church teaches. In so doing, you make it look like the Church had a conspiracy to profane the Sabbath, which your assembly alone...

No what I am claiming is that instead of using original source material, you are using hearsay, which makes you and your ex-Catholics no better than gossips. Do you know the definition of detraction and why it is evil? Do they teach upright speech in the SDA? Detraction is speech meant...

Sunday worship was observed long before Constantine, and it is a smear to try and associate the first day of the week with Sun worship. The Sun wasn’t even created until the fourth day of creation. What purpose would Christians have for associating the worship of the Son of God with worship of...

Your last quote is a leap of logic and in no way applies to the Church We altered none of God’s commands and have consistently held them for 2000 years and after 1930, we seem to be the only ones that even want to do so anymore. The teaching on the Eucharist was abandoned by Zwingli in the...

Where in the Catechism does it teach that the wages of sin are eternal life? That is not Catholic doctrine. How could I address something that is not Catholic? Indulgences are not bought. The giving of alms used to be an indulged work, but if you understood indulgences, you would know...

You are trying to tell other people that worshipping God is pagan. The same way your sabbath is named after Saturn, the Lord’s day is named after the Sun in secular culture. We worship Jesus on the day of the Resurrection just like first Christians did. The first day of the week is also...
