1 | The church as the pillar of Truth? | 1 Tim 3:15 | srbaegon | 137236 | ||
Hello Al, If you are saying that oral tradition is the apostle's doctrine (teaching), then I agree oral tradition is authoritative, but it's only authoritative because it was later written down for us to read. Remember there were several false teachers going around saying wicked things in the name of Christ. The apostles had to write letters in order to set things straight and remind them of what they were previously taught. The message never changed. The teaching never changed. It was consistent between the oral and written. Of course 1 Tim 3:15 and 1 Cor 12 are metaphors. A simple reading is sufficient to see that. Steve |

junmeskie: I like to read the threads, and less than I once did write a note or so. Whenever I see "Hank" as the author of a note I usually read it, as he is so careful with English composition and cleaver with his imput. I respect him very highly, as Hank has earned it! I am proud to say Emmaus is my brother in Christ that has often responded to me with words of encouragement and remembering me in prayer, as well many of the Christian brothers and sisters her have. BrakK is has a reputation that is also one of a respected brother, and not just by me, but many on the forum. I consider myself a Catholic in the truest meaning of the word. The Church Universal is what Catholic Chruch means. I have been with the forum a good while, not that that means I am near as crediable as Emmaus, BradK or many other who are. I have the utmost respect for the Lockman Foundation, and their boundries they has set in force. There have been times when I have observed some who had agendas other than what this Forum is for. These folks were determined to go against even the most common basis of respect for others. I have seen Hank be more patient with most trouble seekers that they deserved, and I would have allowed if this were a forum I was in charge of. Please do not misunderstand me, I would never want a position like Hank has. I am not qualified in the first place either. Hank goes beyond the call of duty in all areas. I have said all the preceeding to present my views. I have read your notes and those who have responded to you. You are able to communicate quite well, and seem to have your theology down and are steadfast in the Roman Catholic faith. I respect someone who knows from where they stand. You have very strong devotion to your beliefs, which is positive in todays world. No one can accuse you of not wanting to share your faith. However, you are so abrasive and dogmatic and yes offensive, that no one can hear what you are saying. If one wants to be heard and listened to there must be a dialogue based on respect, kindness, and in this forun Christian love. I am reminded that Scripture says that others will know we are followers of Jesus by our love for each other. That must be present if others are to believe what we are saying is truth. To argue points we want to make about Christ is not presented in love than most likely it's not going to be assumilated but rather be returned in the same voice as it was received. I am amazed that you have been extended to privilege of continued dialogue in the forum. When extending a closing to others you have written you have signed off "God Bless", I have difficulty believing those words as genuine heart felt expressions when you have said that the faith others have is false, especially Protestants. Better to be honest than to just put the name of God attached to such caustic remarks. Please consider what I have said, and I would welcome a response. justme |
