The remnant (elect, chosen, saint, etc) is found right at the beginning of redemptive history, throughout redemptive history, and the very end of redepmtive history with Jesus dividing the sheep from the goats at His 2nd coming. Do you agree that humanity is divided into two humanities?
I’m catholic, but I’m not Catholic; therefore, I don’t have to renconcile all that the Pope teaches with Scripture.
Please go back to the OP. It is a Catholic who wrote the link on the OP which he exhorts Catholics to read their Bibles.
Sorry Adam you are not Catholic if you do not accept the teachings of the CC. You co ntinue to claim you are Catholic but if you do not follow the teachings of the Church its impossible to be Catholic.I’m catholic, but I’m not Catholic; therefore, I don’t have to renconcile all that the Pope teaches with Scripture.
Can those in the flesh please God according to Scripture?
I’m not claiming to be Catholic; I am simply catholic.
Ah, I thought you were talking about the remnant of Israel. You’re talking about the saints, the ones who are baptized into the Church and persevere to the end. Forgive me if I am wrong about you, but don’t you think that the outward church we’re in is not correlated at all to whether we’re members of the invisible church? That isn’t in the Bible.
I think you need to go back and read the link. Especially the part thats says not to read the bible without the teachings of the Church to help you understand it,Please go back to the OP. It is a Catholic who wrote the link on the OP which he exhorts Catholics to read their Bibles.
Well, that’s a Catholic exhorting Catholics to read their Bibles. It must be hard for Catholics to juggle Sacred Scripture with Sacred Tradition. Now be honest, that is the truth. When you have personal time to read the Scriptures, how do you know that your understanding is consistent with Sacred Tradition? Do you read the Bible alongside the Catholic Catechism? So, how does a Catholic Christian actually read his Bible on a practical level?I think you need to go back and read the link. Especially the part thats says not to read the bible without the teachings of the Church to help you understand it,
There is a difference between being Catholic and catholic. Reformed Christians embrace the Apostles Creed too![SIGN][/SIGN]
And I cannot simply see it
Sure it is, but not impossible. We have the Church. If you get a good Catholic study bible its pretty easy actually.
No there is not Catholic Catholic or Catholic you read the Creed.
I don’t think that I ever posted that Catholics do not read their Bibles. When I was in college 29 years ago, my college roomate was Catholic. He read his Bible and I actually attended Mass with him. He actually encouraged me to read the Bible with him. I attended a Nazarene Christian college, but was not really a Christian in college.
The Apostle’s creed has a small “c” in the word catholic.
It helps to give me the post number to see what I posted in context. It was not my intention to imply that Catholics never read their Bible. They just need to read the Bible more often. I think the OP link written by a Catholic is saying the same thing. How much Bible reading do you personally do during the week?[SIGN][/SIGN][/SIGN]
But I think you did
But where did they have the authority to change the Apostles Creed? Who wrote it the reformed Church or the Apostles. SO you either go by the Apostles Creed or the reformed Church’s Apostles Creed right? Bottom line Adam its says THe Holy Catholic Church there is only one. You must remember the number ONE. There is only ONe God and he had his Apostles establish ONE church led by ONE HOLY SPRIIT. One Bread One Body One Christ One God. ITs all one.The Apostle’s creed has a small “c” in the word catholic.
The Apostles’ Creed
The basic creed of Reformed churches, as most familiarly known, is called the Apostles’ Creed. It has received this title because of its great antiquity; it dates from very early times in the Church, a half century or so from the last writings of the New Testament.
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Maker of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hell.
The third day He arose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost;
the holy catholic church;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting.
Amen.
In the Greek and Latin versions, too?The Apostle’s creed has a small “c” in the word catholic.
