No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator.

Telling people in the first century that His Thief's coming would befall THEM, so THEY needed to WATCH for it, is indeed the doling out of an idle threat, if, as you say, it Never Happened TO THEM.

I believe the Lord was clear about it, Himself....
"But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch."
.....or am I being to literal here?

Compare that to:
Rev. 22:10

And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.


It's 500 years from Daniel to Christ, 2000 years from Christ to now....

You have some monumental gymnastics to do if you believe 2500 years is "FAR OFF" but 2000 years is NEAR! lol



I have no beef with it, rather I affirm it.

My Beef is with you when you call Jesus Christ a Liar, deceiver etc...

The Christ I Love and Serve with every breath I take is none of those things you have made Him out to be... What He says can be trusted.

The Christ I serve does not need to intentionally deceive his followers just to get them to "Live better lives"... I staunchly REJECT your notion that He does any such works of deception and will do so till my last breath.

You are the one calling Christ the deceiver. Dont try and flip this around on me.

You called Christs prophecy a threat man, a threat!

Christ doesnt threaten anyone, he brings them salvation.


You need to retract saying that I called Christ a deceiver and a liar or I'm just going to report you to admin for heresy.


How have you affirmed any prophecy, all you do is argue with people here, you never quote the Bible and you just try and instigate arguments with other Christians.

In fact, Im just going to report it so its documented, your antics are getting old anyways.

You converted to Catholicism? Wh-wh just why would you do that?

I was lead by the Holy Spirit to do so, that's why.

Catholicism scares me, and I dont scare easily.

It used to scare me too, until I searched the scriptures and discovered that the Church of scripture is one united ecclesial body (Eph 4:3-4; Eph 4:13-16; Jn 17:21; Mt 16:18) without schismatic divisions (1 Cor 12:25; Rom 16:17; 1 Cor 1:10; Jude 1:19; Gal 5:20; 3 John 1:9-10), with one teaching for all the churches (Acts 15:22-23,25,28/Acts 16:4-5; 1 Tim 1:3; 1 Cor 1:10; Eph 4:5; Jude 1:3), and one bishopric authorized of and by the apostles (Titus 1:5) by the laying on of hands in ordination (Heb 6:2; 2 Tim 1:6; 1 Tim 4:14; Titus 1:5), sharing ministers back and forth among all churches (1 Cor 16:3; Rom 16:1,3,9,21,23; Phil 2:19,25; Titus 3:12), receiving one another in fellowship and in greeting (Rom 15:5-7; Rom 16:16; Col 4:10,12,14; 3 John 1:9-10), where excommunication removes individuals from this one body (Matt 18:17; 1 Corinthians 5:1-2,4-5), and which existed from St. Peter and the apostles unto today (Matt 16:18-19; Eph 3:21).

Protestantism, in Contrast, is an endless schism of divisions with multiple different teachings and authority structures, does not share pastors, has no effective means of excommunication and no traceable Apostolic Lineage.


So I left the un scriptural Church and Joined the scriptural one.

OK, you do realise that the catholicism of the first christians before the formation of state run roman catholicism are two totally different entities right?

No SIR... PAY ATTENTION!
I made the observation that YOUR INTERPRETATION renders His prophesies as Idle threats...

Mine upholds them as true and correct.

Christ doesnt threaten anyone, he brings them salvation.

I would agree.

You need to retract saying that I called Christ a deceiver and a liar or I'm just going to report you to admin for heresy.

You'd better re check your Post #497 where you implied that Christ Told the first century folks to watch for His thiefs coming even though He KNEW they would NEVER see it, so they would Live more righteous lives...

I REJECT THAT

In fact, Im just going to report it so its documented, your antics are getting old anyways.

you are throwing up Smoke and Mirrors Mate.

Just address the challenge.

Do You Believe Christ Lied when he said this?:
Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. (Rev 3:3)


The "YOU" in this passage are real air breathing Blood Pumping Christians alive in the first century but you would have me believe He didn't mean it to apply TO THEM at ALL....


I can only conclude that you beleve HE LIED TO THOSE PEOPLE.


If I am wrong, then by all means explain HOW you believe it applied TO THEM??

Address the challenge?? you havent even taken a side on the prophecy given and you refuse to answer questions.

Here is my post, I gave you a commentary on this verse.

See, a Christian would have understood this verse no problem, but you flipped it somehow to say something completely different.

What kind of juice they pumpin ya with mate? I dont believe the inconsistency of your Christian comprehension. I just dont.




Im going to offer a commentary on this verse, take it for what its worth.

Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

But know this,- Pay attention, Jesus is telling you something important, something you need to know, as its vital.

that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come- If you know Christ is coming then you will be the best Christian you can be so that you are counted worthy.

he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. -If you arent living in the word, watching for Christs coming, you can become complacent and are in danger of falling away based on the premise that Christ wont return in your lifetime, like you have all the time in the world.

This might be the dumbest post Ive ever heard on this forum mate, either you are blind to the scripture or you completely missed what I was telling you.

No where did I ever say "Christ told first century folks to watch for his thieves coming"

Is english your first language mate? Or are you another prodigy of the US educational system.

Ive never, in all my bloody life.

:doh:

How do you break that kind of news to a catholic person.

"Oh, by the way, your scripture is corrupt."

They believe in that stuff man, they believe it because they were told to.

I'm an extreme conervative confessional Lutheran, and I was very successfully ex-communicated with a threat of a tresspass warning for rising up against a Church leader that was a Mason, ie, I personally have nothing aginst Masons, however not in the Church.

They had a very effective means, and were even very nice about it, ie, don't ever come back Jack and find another Church. Later I heard there was a black list on the Internet somewhere, ie, I was on it, ie, never did find it?

Talking too much again,

ex-com. even more times at other settings :blush:

btw careful with the Masons

Jack :sorry: Now walk on egg shells in the Church, and so far so good

Masons?

A minister cant be a free mason and a Christian.

You cant serve two masters.

You did the right thing to get out of there, but dont worry about them, they are worldwide but they are weak on their own.

They fear Christians because they fear Jesus Christ.

"Oh, by the way, your scripture is corrupt."

They believe that stuff man, they believe it.

Though the idea for 'the catholic Church' can be found throughout the New Testament, the term 'catholic' was first used (as far as I know) by St. Ignatius of Antioch.
Irenaeus wrote a chapter in Against Heresies entitled:
"The truth is to be found nowhere else but in the Catholic Church, the sole depository of apostolical doctrine. Heresies are of recent formation, and cannot trace their origin up to the apostles."

Roman Catholicism perverts the meaning behind the word.

But not all catholics are Roman Catholics.

That may be, but all of the Catholic churches, save for the Copts and Greek Ortho's adhere to and follow the Pope by decree.

They dont have a choice, the RCC runs the world behind closed doors.

This isnt a secret anymore.

Ok, so you guy's do realise that theres a difference between the term 'catholic' as used by those early theologians of the first 3 centuries after the apostles up until the time of the roman catholic church, right?

Yeah, I suppose the name just gives me the jitters though, what with all the RCC has done with the name and all.

Lets be real, how many 1,2,3rd century catholics are there today?

Probably not many.
