And both in the context of worshipping false Gods.
yes you shall not bow down to ANY IMAGE because ANY IMAGE is a false god. And that includes Mary and the so-called Saints.
The question is where did Jesus get his ideas from since he came later.
From His Father.
The entireity prophesy heralds him as a davidic king
That's strange Jesus said, 'if David calls Him LORD
how is He then his son? It is made crystal clear that Jesus is not just another Davidic king.
, for example "riding on a donkey" as Solomon had done.
AS EVERYONE riding into Jerusalem in peace did. It was the natural means of transport. He was following the prophecy of Zechariah 9 not copying Solomon. Besides Jesus DID NOT ride on the king's own mule. You know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God.
So Jesus CHOSE to associate with davidic kings, and in the case of the donkey Solomon.
Incorrect as I have shown you. He followed Zechariah's prophecy. Every child knows that. But it seem that the church of Rome does not. 'out of the mouths of babes and sucklings LOL
Indeed the "keys of the kingdom" given to Peter are direct reference back to stewardship of the Davidic kings,
Rubbish. In mind were the keys given to Scribes when they qualified enabling them to 'open the Torah to the people'. Peter was to open the Kingly Rule of God to the Jews and the Gentiles, which is what he did. The reference to loosing and binding was a direct reference to the Scribal ceremony..
the mother of a davidic King was called "queen" and the king gave her a throne and bowed to her, saying he would honour her requests.
Old Testament customs which are not directly referred to in Scripture are irrelevant.
I challenge you to produce one Scripture which says that the king bowed down to the queen mother (who was not actually the queen), gave her a throne and bowed to her saying he would grant her every request.
you are citing Roman Catholic supposed scholars LOL
The mother of kings mentioned numerous times because of the role they had.
But not the role you stated. Nothing is said about her role anywhere. Or are you thinking of the murderous Athaliah. Granted that the RC church have followed her murderous ways. Are you suggesting Mary did too? She must have if she approved of the RC church.
Just read the old testament to understand.
Don't be patronising. I have written commentaries on it all
Proverbs 3-5 - " trust in the lord, and DO NOT RELY ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING - nothing to do with prophesy, all to do with private understanding.
LOL typical RC misuse of Scripture. The writer is talking about the way in which we walk, we are to walk hand in hand with GOD not the church.
I said psalms - bad memory - but the scripture is there in proverbs none the less.
your carelessness suits your bad interpretation LOL so that is how your infallible church interprets it? It figures.
In short - the pillar and foundation of truth is the church
Is the original church before the New Testament was completed. And that church was composed of all independent churches who submitted to the Apostles. It no longer applied after they were dead. But that was why by then they had the main corpus of the New Testament already seeing Paul's letters as Scripture.
which church was Paul referring to otherwise? the catholic church at Jerusalem (still not in union with the RC church). The Catholic church in Galilee, the home of Jesus' teaching. The Catholic church in Caesarea? The Catholic church in Antioch? The Catholic church in Alexandria? Certainly not the later upstarts in Rome who murdered and persecuted and burned those opposed to them
- and in cutting yourself off from history tradition and the church,
how can I cut myself off from a denomination I never belonged to? I am a member of the true church made up of all true believers. And I have not cut myself off from Scripture. THAT is true history, and the only reliable history.
Do you want me to follow Clement of Alexandria's gnostic theories? LOL
with the false doctrine of sola scriptura,
the false doctrine observed by the whole early church? I am in good company.
you end up with 10000 protestant different belief sets, drifting and fracturing yours just one more on the pile.
but the early church was composed of more that 10,000 independent churches who all looked to the Scriptures for their truth. So again I am in good company. But like them we are all united around the Scriptures.
As for what you may or may not drag up from websites, Catholic belief is there in the catechism.
Unless phillipines prayers are there , which they are not, they are not catholic doctrine.
Challenge it on what it does believe. There in the catechism.
but they ARE RC doctrine. you are blind. I ignore the window dressing and look at the reality.
