That depends on who you have as your teacher. For the teacher teaches and the student listens. This is why we have been told we are in need of no man to teach us. Plainly spoken in simple words. I believe that scripture is in 1st or 2nd John.I did not say I could not. However, does that go for EVERY statement that one reads in the Bible?
This sound like one sitting in a judges chair declaring what they say as truth..That doesn't tell me anything. If you can't answer that's fine. So I will take from your post the answer is no and are outside Christianity. Thank you
Grace is the very mercy and love of God. It is not found in a sacramental system but in God through Christ alone and sealed with the Holy Spirit. He is our helper and our power to stand and preach the Gospel of Christ. It is not in a system. That has been done away with and Now the very high Priest and the very Lamb that was slain who is now risen states it is finished and raises to the very right hand side of God.Grace is what the "sacramental system" is.
MamaZ said:God did not raise up an organization but a people. Him as the head and we as the body of Christ. We don't need a priest for we already have one. His name is Jesus. We don't need a pope for the people of Christ have a Father. All mighty God is is name the great I am. He sits in the throne. Jesus at His right hand and we the people the body of Christ filled with His Spirit.

The Church is not an organisation even though it is organised. It is a people, a holy nation, and a number of other things - a body, a temple, etc.
It is an orderly organism.

Your right. Now go tell all your Catholic brethren the same so they stop condemning Protestants.

St. Paul and St. Augustine were quite the Calvinists, John Calvin thought so.I'm thankful I do not have to deny historical facts like the crusades, indulgences, contradictions between authorities, and tyranny of Popes. Yeah, I don't have to deny the history in John Foxe's book of "Martyrs" either, or the terrible crimes against Christians like William Tyndale. I am sure many Catholics would love to erase history, but since it is so documented, all Catholics can do is try to "re-write" and soften the hard truths.
I gave up using a 66 book bible - 73 seems so much more holy
66 being close to 666 while 73 is a 7 for perfection and a 3 for the Holy Trinity
Numerology = divination
This one thinks it's a good thing but that too much of a good thing is a bad thing.
Some seem to think that organisation is a bad thing. Personally I do not subscribe to such a perspective.
