There is "no Bible" text claiming that Catholic priests have the "powers" to "Confect the body soul and divinity of Christ" in the mass.
ALL doctrine is to be tested "sola scriptura" Acts 17:11 Mark 7:6-13
On the contrary, 1 Corinthians 11.
This verse right?On the contrary, 1 Corinthians 11.
This verse right?
1 Corinthians 11:19 - For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
Whew, [wipes brow, sigh], that was close, for a second there, I thought you were actually going to surprise me and say that we [of the faithful Seventh-day Adventist movement] believed "heresies" by the standard of the scripture [KJB], "to the law and to the testimony", and then by citing some examples therein.As a simple matter of fact, your own denomination embraces positions classed as heresies at Ephesus, Constantinople III and Nicea II, and by the Synod of Dositheus.
Instead of arguing the post, you think to shut him up by the slander of him being SDA and some unrelated disagreements. Note that nothing in this thread has been said that does not agree with the Nicene Creed. If there was, it would have been shut down by the those with authority in this forum to do so.As a simple matter of fact, your own denomination embraces positions classed as heresies at Ephesus, Constantinople III and Nicea II, and by the Synod of Dositheus.
Yes, absolutely as it well deserves it and does nothing to diminish the Catholics anti-Protestant hatred, even by the several Ninja Catholics that try to present themselves as objective Christians by choosing the generic "Christian" label instead of admitting there true loyalty.It does annoy me how this forum tends to be dominated by various Protestants engaging in Two Minutes Hate against Catholics, and by extension, the Orthodox.
I am of the view that whereas the Orthodox do regard the Eucharistic change as a mystery, there is nothing altogether objectionable about the RC view of transubstantiation that cannot be more or less glossed over. I have no doubt our interlocutors would, given the chance, pour scorn over the Eucharistic doctrine of my confession as well as yours.

So let us congratulate ourselves on the reciprocity of that annoyance.
The forum is limited to Nicene Creed Christians. Not council blah, blah, blah.To that end, this forum is limited to Nicene Christians, which is a conciliar definition.
True enough. For example,There is "no Bible" text claiming that Catholic priests have the "powers" to "Confect the body soul and divinity of Christ" in the mass.

So how about that if you think to edify this thread you be a little more specific in answering the question of where in 1 Cor 11 that authority is given to priests to "confect".
How about you actually respond and defend a statement you made that was actually pertinent to the thread instead of thread crapping and complaining about the threads in GT. And, how about you actually start a thread if you don't like the topics created so far. And, if you want to just bash the Protestants, you can jump on the either: The Church would be better off without the Reformation or the Refuting Sola Scriptura threads.On the contrary, I simply respinded to his raising the point of 1 Corinthians 11:19. The SDA does not agree with the theology of the councils of Ephesus, Constantinople III or Nicea II; this is uncontroversial. From content on their website it appears they do agree with Nicea at least in part, and I suspect they would concur with Chalcedon (my own church does not and thus incurs a range of anathemas from Chalcedonians).
Unless I misunderstand you, I can think of absolutely no basis for this comment.What I believe on the matter is pretty simple:
In the spirit of the tradition, the early Christians presumed transubstantiation without really making a thing out of it's actuality.
Well no, Transubstantiation was a new idea in the Middle Ages.As time went on, when the Church started feeling the need to scrutinize everything, they thought it necessary to declare that transubstantiation literally happens.
So offending most Protestants (but not every last one) is nothing to regret???It seems to me as an Orthodox Christian that there are no threads on GT that would offend the sensibilities of Protestants as a whole, whereas seemingly one out of five threads is offensive to Orthodox and Roman Catholics.
