neno, hi,
Do you see why it is going to take God Himself to show the entire world the faith?
This protest of the faith passed down has been going on by early heretics and awful lot since the revolt in 1517.
So, Catholics are lying about what has been passed down even though Protestantism didn't start until October 31, 1517?
How can one know, by whose authority do you speak? Think about authority.
colbe
neno,
I like that you are interested, God's grace is working on you. For a long, long time Our Lord has been
speaking pretty generally in the Protestant messages from Heaven, speaking "one" Church, of "unity" of
belief, of "new" revelation.
Yes. Not with all of the Apocrypha, but with some of it, and more so with some Eastern works and philosophies. I guess if I had to describe it, it would best be described as "an affront to the spirit".
When I lived there, I could feel the history. It was palpable.
I've been in St. Luke's Church, and walked the churchyard there. Lot of Masons buried there. There is an old legend that some ancient Mason manuscript is buried somewhere in that churchyard, in one of the graves with one of the Masons, buried in the 1600's. That is the oldest church in America that is still in use.
Yes! That is EXACTLY the one. His dad was also named "Jack", and was a friend of mine. They also had an antiquarian bookshop on Warwick in Newport News, but sold it several years ago. Old Jack was a strong Calvinist - all five points, no compromise - and used to preach a sermon on the Reformation one Sunday out of every October (which he called "Reformation Sunday"), to commemorate the "95 Theses" of Luther.
That may have something to do with Colbe's announced "Awakening", and if so, it may not be precisely what Colbe thinks it will be. That is not a new concept - in the days of Jesus, most Jews were expecting something entirely different than what they got - they expected a political Messiah, a militant leader, but got what they got, and missed it entirely because it was not what they were expecting.
I guess a thousand years from now, the tale will be told in retrospect, with the clarity delivered by hindsight.

I liked his store on Warwick Boulevard and was saddened when it closed causing me to discover his store up at Jamestown down the road from Williamsburg.
I originally went there to pick up a copy of "Morals and Dogma" by Albert Pike. I discovered there what a huge selection of other books he had and was to return several times.
A strong Calvinist..Wow!! I did not know that but then ..I was very newly awakened in those days. The Tulip...The five points. Yes indeed!!
Reading these olde books taught me very well how much the English Language has detiorated over the years down to a newspaper level and lower. It is very telling when one reads a book over a hundred years olde. That people who were educated had a much wider vocabulary than do we today.
This too was an awakening of sorts.
Jesus did what all the prophets before him did..rebuked the Jews for their disobedience and rebellion..failure to keep the Law of Moses and instead substituting the traditions of men.
Just as are doing the Protestants and Catholics today. Many of them without knowing it or even having a clue. And I include myself in this though I am becoming more and more aware of it.
That hidden history thing of which I speak.
I am strongly suspecting that you can see this hand of the traditions of men in the wars which have taken place ..particularly in the last 150 to 200 years. The years of technology and enlightenment..illumination.
This causes some to look more closely into the history between and leading up to the wars.

What is copyrighted is the translation, footnotes or other superfluous bits, not the text.
Understand adjensen. Which is why I dont care for Bibles with footnotes. I would rather read it in the text...rather than in the footnotes.
As I recall and to my astonishment..I discovered this when reading an NIV about verse John 5:4...about the water at a well or basin being disturbed by an angel.
This passage was missing. I found it in the KJV. In an NIV it is found commented on in the footnotes. If you were reading the text and missed it...you would not read the footnote down at the bottom of the page. I just never cared for this technique..or translation technique.
It was only years later when doing some reading that I found out about Brook Foss Wescott and Fenton John Anthony Hort and their translation which became the basis of the NIV and other texts.
And over time this lead me to New Age Bible Versions by Gail Riplinger where one can see the various versions verse by verse charted side by side by the verses where one can see how the verses were changed over the years. A very interesting revelation.
Well ..nonetheless. I am not into footnote versions. I'd rather read it in the text.
By the way..before I forget...someone posted about reading the King James Version in the original English of that period. It is a labor to so do as the construction and spelling are different. As I recall..the letter F looks like an S the way it is scrolled out. Some of the other letters and word usage are different from what we know today. Takes some getting accustomed and or oriented in following it but it can be done, yes.
But I do like the King James for the way it ebbs and flows. I do not find this in the NIV or any of the other more "Modern" translations.
And I reckon I am going to open a can of worms here with this but I must needs comment here.
Colbe,
The reason Roman Catholicism selected the Biblical Canon, because she is the faith. The faith Christ established, the one and only.
What the elders taught me ..is that He is the Faith. One of this names is Faith..among many of His names.
What it states in Galatians chapter 2 or 3..is the Faith "of" Christ.
Here the word "of" ...preposition denoting posession.
Now in the new bibles..like the NIV...it says..the faith "in" Christ. This meaning our faith..not Faith as in His Faith.
Between these two..is a different bible and a different gospel.
A different faith.
One word..of or in..different result.
Thanks,

That is what I'm arguing, not what you infer about that statement, because that's between you and her.
Yes, but when we are trying to argue out the point between ourselves and her, you then butt in with a deflecting argument using a different meaning of the word "Catholic" from the one that is being diiscussed. This is not the first time you have done that.
The argument goes; Colbe; You as a Protestant should not be quoting that, because it is a [Roman] Catholic book.
Protestant; It is not a [Roman] Catholic book.
Adjensen; Ah, but it is a Catholic book in the sense of belonging to the universal church. [which is quite irrelevant, because the Protestant is not denying that point]
All this confusion of language is possible because the Roman catholic community has been trying to monopolise the word "catholic" and gloss over the existence of multiple meanings, but it does not help if you fail to recognise which meaning is being used in a particular discussion.
As for whether Colbe did mean "You Protestants have no right to quote the Bible", I think the point is adequately proved by the fact that she has posted since we had that discussion and has conspicuously failed to deny intending that meaning.
Sooner or later, you may have to steel yourself to positively disavow the more nonsensical claims of the bullying obscurantists in your community, instead of just deflecting the discussion from them.

Your elders taught you to deny the faith but without Roman Catholicism, you would not have your
Bible. It is so crazy to deny the authority who gave you your Bible, then declare the Bible is your
authority. It makes no sense.
Did you know, many, many Protestant ministers have converted because they finally understood the importance of authority. By whose authority do you believe what you do? The teachings of the faith
are the teachings of Christ passed down from the Apostles.

neno, hi,
Do you see why it is going to take God Himself to show the entire world the faith?
Hi Colbe!
You speak in a future tense ("is going to take"), where I believe it has already been accomplished. I think God has already "shown the entire world" the faith. It's not God's problem if they look, but refuse to see.
We're going to run into a problem of semantics here - we mean different things when each of us says "the faith".
This protest of the faith passed down has been going on by early heretics and awful lot since the revolt in 1517.
Don't make the mistake of thinking I'm a Protestant - I'm not. I'm not even a Christian - just ask adjensen. That is about the only thing we can agree on, albeit for different rationales.
So, Catholics are lying about what has been passed down even though Protestantism didn't start until October 31, 1517?
"Lying" is such a strong word. I make a distinction between "Catholics" and "The Roman Catholic Church". I believe the Roman Catholic Church is lying through it's figurative teeth, but Catholics are merely taking the bait and being led astray. Same goes for most Protestants, too. Protestantism retained the same core heresies that the Empire introduced into Catholicism during the merger of the two.
So no - I don't think Catholics are "lying". I think Catholics are good people being led astray by evil men.
So are Protestants.
How can one know, by whose authority do you speak? Think about authority.
The sheep know the Shepherd's voice.
I have but One Authority. It is by that Authority I speak.
By whose authority do you hear? That is the question.

p.s. I never said you can't quote the Bible,

In other threads, you shouldn't post from Catholic writings... More Catholic writing, don't quote it, Holy Scripture is a Catholic book.

That statement is an outright lie.
Here is the quotation where you told me that i should not quote from the Bible.

How clear is it possible to get? You told me in plain language that i should not be quoting from Scripture because it is a Catholic book.
It is good that you should want to back away from that particular nonsensical claim.
Now please backtrack on some of the others.

It sounds suspiciously like you are saying "God could not speak if the Roman Catholic Church didn't wiggle his lips".
Do you seriously believe God's word would not exist if the Roman Catholic Church had not brought it into being?
You believe God's word would have just gone POOF! and vanished from Earth if the RCC had never existed?
Where does that leave God in the equation? Is he at the mercy of the RCC?

I'll reply to one comment in reply to my words, the other, I can't change your mind neno so ask Our Lord in prayer if Roman Catholicism is the faith.
The messages say to prepare, get a daily prayer life and so important, review your life, make a heartfelt confession of your mortal sins to God now! We will not feel the spiritual pain of seeing CONFESSED sins in our life review. And Catholics realize, they must go to Confession.
God bless you neno,
Philippians 4:8 (ASV) | 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Author Thomas Woods examines the ways in which the highly influential church affected economics, literature, education and a variety of aspects of society throughout centuries of history. Woods argues that the Catholic Church has had a monumental impact on the development of Western civilization as a whole.
In 1891, Pope Leo XIII issued a papal bull entitled Rerum Novarum, which is considered the Catholic Church's first expression of a view supportive of a living wage. The Church recognized that wages should be sufficient to support a family. This position has been widely supported by the church since that time, and has been reaffirmed by the papacy on multiple occasions...

You take time to reply to my response to orangetom but ignore my response to your question. I so wished you would of replied.
This is perfect example of ignoring the prophets. Don't do it neno and folks reading this thread, there is one end time. God is saying the same thing to non-Catholic Christian prophets as to the Catholic prophets. Time is short.
Go back on the previous page and look at three current Protestant messages about the Real Presence. Christ sharing again, His presence in the Eucharist is true.
colbe
You spend your time at ATS denying the faith, Roman Catholicism
What, in your opinion, adj, is wrong with "Universal Salvation"? So it was eventually 'rejected' - but...why???
I happen to like it; you already know that.

It is a fact, for fifteen years of following prophecy (private revelation), the Catholic, a few Orthodox and the Protestant messages from Heaven, Our Lord states in all three over and over the Remnant IS Roman Catholic. If prophecy said something different, I wouldn't be commenting in this thread. I would be going where God's prophets said to go...
Colbe -
This IS an interesting twist of events! Could you be so kind as to point me to these alleged "prophecies" where God delivered a message to protestants through a Protestant "prophet" that everyone needs to convert Roman Catholic?
It just doesn't work for me to have that message delivered to Protestants through a Catholic "prophet" - I'm sure you can see the conflict of interest and agenda that would be involved there.
Thanks.

But lately, Jesus is speaking about His presence in the Eucharist to non-Catholic Christian prophets
Wow!!
Three Protestant messengers receiving messages about the Eucharist. There are more, time is short. Our Lord can't say the word "Eucharist" because of disbelief, He is getting you ready to accept His presence in the Eucharist. If you can come to believe in His SUPERNATURAL presence in the Eucharist, everything else you wonder about the faith will be answered, will make sense. This is God's plan, how humble.
GBY,

p.s. I typed the in-parenthesis in Yolanda Ballard's message.

message/vision to Amanda Leonard
(check her blog, she reposted a 12-4-11 message) Jesus states in a vision He gave her....
"Then He took me to a huge table and I sat beside of Him and ate. He said, “There will always be enough.” For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Anyone who eats
my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in Him.57 I live because of the living Father who
sent me; in the same way, anyone who FEEDS ON ME will live because of me.” John 6:55-57...

...For surely this is the day of the great falling away. Do not allow those
things that satisfy your flesh entice you to lose all that I died for
you to have. For I died that you would have an abundant life with peace,
joy and My righteousness flowing freely. Yes, I died that you would
have health and prosperity as your soul prospers.
But what would you give in exchange for your soul? Would it be a piece of
bread (Protestant communion) or would you choose Me, the Bread of Life (Eucharist)?
The choice is yours to make and the time is running out for those to make preparation
for what is coming on the earth. Think wisely on these things for the cost could
cause you your life!...
