The word "catholic" (literally, "complete," "universal," or "according to the whole") refers to the universal church of the Lord Jesus Christ and not necessarily or exclusively to any particular visible denomination, institution, or doctrine.

You clearly know next to nothing about Christian history. For the first 1000 years of Christianity there is only one universal Catholic church. The great schism of 1054 A.D. was the first split. That was the split between east and west. I quoted from 1st and 2nd century sources. Those sources...

The Bible only works when we know it as good as the Apostles and church fathers. The flat earth conspiracy quickly changed me from a Puritan Protestant to an Anglican Protestant (aka, Catholic). I was looking for the best of both worlds and I found it in the Anglican Church. I no longer have to...

I think the key of understand denominations is to study translations. This is something I've done and it had a profound effect on how I see denominations. I see a couple categories. 1. The Tyndale Bibles. These Bibles consist of the 1535 Coverdale Bible, 1537 Matthew's Bible, 1539 Great Bible...

If you know the context of the passage then why do you reject Christian tradition? I'll tell you why: its the only way to defend your views. When you are forced to reject 1st and 2nd century Christian sources that's a sign that its time to leave the SDA church. Ignatius of Antioch isn't wrong...

Good luck with that one. It will never win. Forcing a rape victim to have the baby is the same thing as raping her twice.

I support Trump's view because he's a man chosen of God to make common sense decisions in a place where common sense is dead.

The answer is not a one size fits all kind of answer. Does not God delight in our good works when they are done righteously? We all know God would rather see us do good works than anything else. Can we gain favor from God by doing them? Perhaps. It depends on the heart and the spiritual...

I couldn't take the poll because I believe the baby's life is just as important as the mother's life. Most women would rather die than not see the baby born. Rebekah in the Bible died in child birth and she was the wife of Isaac. I believe only exception that should be made is in rape cases...

For the first 1000 years of Christianity there was only one church. Then there was the great schism of 1054 where Eastern Orthodox split from Western Orthodox. This was never intended to become a permanent split. The Western church, while rude and inconsiderate to their Eastern brothers, were in...

You keep misquoting Jesus as He addressed the Pharisees about their made up traditions they had that deviated from true Scripture. But Jesus was not saying not to follow the Apostolic Tradition. You fail to make that distinction which is crucial to this discussion.

Fulfilled...fulfilled is the word! Jesus received worship every Sunday on the day of resurrection and after. All traditions we have are very ancient and these help us better understand the Bible. SDA tradition only goes back to 1844...the Great Disappointment. SDA follows conspiracy theory and...

Yes it does! It says Sunday is the Sabbath. God's work was completed on Sunday and on that day we rest in Christ. Sunday is the new Sabbath. Even new Jewish converts understand this and they keep Sunday. There is Romans 14 which you would benefit very well to read --- and to read it without a...

I've read this post before. Jesus never said not to listen to His Apostles! You take a quote aimed at the Pharisees and then say its about Christ' Apostles. Heresy! Scripture says to follow tradition set forth by the Apostles. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 King James Version (KJV)

John 4:34

The 10 Commandments: Deuteronomy 5:2-3 King James Version (KJV) Then we go back to Ignatius of Antioch who was clear the Lord's Day was Sunday. SDAs claim the Apostles failed! No, the Puritans failed! Them and their poorly translated Bible with radical anticatholic notes. The Puritan...

I just quoted from Scripture but you are trying to play it off like I didn't quote anything. I refuted the SDA claim that there was a Sabbath Command before Moses. Scripture refutes it. What you are doing is what all SDAs do. You pretend I didn't post anything and then you keep coming back with...

SDAs don't understand the simple dilemma here: We Christians, most of us today being gentiles, are not Jews. There is a difference between a Christian and a Jew. Jews reject the resurrection of Christ as well as the virgin birth. This is not a license to hate Jews. It just means we are not Jews...

SDA is a lost cause. No point in throwing your life away on defending the indefensible. Ellen White is refuted historically which means she was a false prophetess. Did Constantine change the Sabbath to Sunday like SDAs & Flat Earthers claim? Ignatius of Antioch was a disciple of the Apostles...

The Sabbath was a sign between God and Israel. The Decalogue of Israel has no effect on gentile salvation since we are not Jews. Non-Jews never had the law and Jesus did not die just so gentiles could become Jews. The law is fulfilled and we live by the law of Christ. You might benefit from...
