Nick01You ask... So would you agree then that the teaching of the church is to be measured against the Scriptures, not the other way around?
I reply: NO that would be HERESY! Jesus gave the world a CHURCH with all of his AUTHORITY to TEACH the WORLD!!
Nick01Believing what you believe you are forced to REJECT Jesus' words!
Catholics believe the words of Jesus, believing the words of Jesus: IS BELIEVING IN JESUS! We are Christians because we believe the words of Jesus!
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Nick01Do you see it??? “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore GO!!!" Jesus has the AUTHORITY to send his CHURCH OUT to all nations!!!
Do you see it??? "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing!!"
Nick01Baptizing makes DISCIPLES of ALL NATIONS with the AUTHORITY of God speaking FOR GOD with all of God' AUTHORITY make Disciples!!
Disciples are Jesus' brothers and sisters, Baptism makes God' family!
The AUTHORITY does not stop at the making of DISCIPLES it continues to TEACHING ALL NATIONS!
All of God' authority is given to Jesus Church to TEACH!!!!!!!!! ALL Nations!!!
Nick01Church TEACHES she uses BOOKS, Preaching, Icons, Sacraments etc!!!
Church is the AUTHORITY not a BOOK!
