42 | Is the church is infallible? | 1 Tim 3:15 | junmeskie | 136728 | ||
YES Peter denied our Lord 3 times but Jesus did not hold this against him, Peter is still a man (not perfect) only God is perfect. You accepted Solomon words to be inspired words of God yet King Solomon is a known sinner with over 800 wives or concubines? FROM THE BEGINNING GOD HAS BEEN SHEPHERDING HIS CHILDREN...NOAH...ABRAHAM.....MOSES........POPE PETER........NOW POPE JOHN PAUL II Jesus also asked our First Pope Peter these questions “DO YOU LOVE ME PETER?” 3 times ”FEED MY LAMB” ”TEND MY SHEEP” read ..John 21:15, 16 and 17 Who feed the sheep? “DO YOU LOVE ME PETER?” FEED MY LAMB TEND MY SHEEP Who feed the sheep? THE SHEPHERD - FATHER - PAPA – we now call POPE Primacy of Peter (Our First Pope) REMEMBER THESE VERSES …Mt. 16:18-19, Is. 22:22, Lk. 22:32, Jn. 21:17, Mk. 16:17, Lk. 24:34, Acts 1:13-26, Acts 2:14, Acts 3:6-7, Acts 5:1-11, Acts 8:21, Acts 10:44-46, Acts 15:7, Acts15:19, Gal 1:18, Gal 2:11-14, Mt 10:1-4; Mk 3:16-19; Lk 6:14-16; Acts 1:13 - Peter name always heads list of Apostles…. Lk 9:32; Mk 16:7 - "Peter and his companions" …..Mt 18:21; Mk 8:29; Lk 8:45, 12:41; Jn 6:69 spoke for Apostles …. Peters name occurs 195, more times than the other Apostles put together ABOUT HOLINESS OF THE CHURCH HIS CHURCH IS HOLY (Eph. 5:25–27, Rev. 19:7–8) By his grace Jesus makes the Church holy, just as he is holy. This doesnt mean that each member is always holy. Jesus said there would be both good and bad members in the Church (John 6:70), and not all the members would go to heaven (Matt. 7:21–23). But the Church itself is holy because it is the source of holiness and is the guardian of the special means of grace Jesus established, the sacraments (cf. Eph. 5:26). It's good that people expect too much from our priests (to be holy, pure and sinless) they put him on a pedestal. Most people put to much FAITH on their priest, pastors, and ministers and when they committed an scandalous sin they lost thier faith in their church, since their faith is based on their expectations and not soley on Jesus. This is the main reason that non Catholic christians can church HOP or go church (s) hopping anytime they feel that their church does not serve their self vested interest. Worse is they aslo believed as long they have the word (The Bible) they can start their own churches any time they feel like it. Although popular with many "Bible Christian" churches, the "Bible alone" theory simply does not Work in practice. Historical experience disproves it. Each year we see additional splintering among "Bible-believing" religions. Today there are over 33,000 competing denominations, each insisting its interpretation of the Bible is the correct one. The resulting divisions have caused untold confusion among millions of sincere but misled Christians. Just open up the Yellow Pages of your telephone book and see how many different denominations are listed, each claiming to go by the "Bible alone," but no two of them agreeing on exactly what the Bible means. We know this for sure: The Holy Spirit cannot be the author of this confusion (1 Cor. 14:33). God cannot lead people to contradictory beliefs because his truth is one. The conclusion? The "Bible alone" theory must be false. |

43 | The church as the pillar of Truth? | 1 Tim 3:15 | junmeskie | 136724 | ||
I go with the Early Christians Sacred Traditions of what the church meaning not the modern tradition of men which has been distorted over and over again. church as defined by Webster Dictionry is 1 a building for public and especially Christian worship 2 the clergy or officialdom of a religious body 3 a body or organization of religious believers building to develop according to a systematic plan, by a definite process, or on a particular base Catholicism has wonderful 7 gifts from God also Faith and Reasons of what and why we believed Scriptures and Apostolic Tradition that Protestants do not have. What Church means in the early Christian traditions church is the House of God or House of Worship. As Catholic Christians we are members of his one body united in his church as Family of God UNIVERSALLY UNITED WITH THE BISHOP OF ROME ….where THE CHAIR OF SAINT PETER IS……never divided 1Cor.14:33 Remember this verse…… 1Timothy 3:15 ...behave thyself in the house of God NOT DA BIBLE or THE PEOPLE, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. KJV The Church has remained ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC not through mans effort, but because God preserves the Church he established Matt. 16:18, 28:20. God Bless Al Mescallado |

Jesus church is also infallible Jesus promised Peter our First Pope in Matthew 16:19 : I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." ….Jesus is referring to … Isaiah 22:22 I will place the key of the House of David on his shoulder; when he opens, no one shall shut, when he shuts, no one shall open. Rev. 3:7 : "To the angel of the church in Philadelphia, write this: " 'The holy one, the true, who holds the key of David, who opens and no one shall close, who closes and no one shall open, …” Keys is a sign of dominion an authority I cannot go inside your house if I don't have your keys nor drive your car without your car keys. your keys can lock and unlock people from your private properties.

Not everything is in the Bible READ - John 21:25 Paul speaks of oral tradition as authoritative 2 Thess. 2:15, 2 Tim. 2:2, 1 Cor. 11:2, 1 Thess. 2:13 Paul speaks of oral tradition as authoritative. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 "Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle." Early Christians followed apostolic tradition Acts 2:42, 2 Timothy 2:2 "And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit Thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also" The great commission by Christ was to preach not to write. Matthew 28:19-20 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you" Bible hard to understand gets distorted. 2 Peter 3:15-16 specially by PROTESTant … Resulting in Over 33,82000 Denominations More oral tradition. 2 John 1:12, 3 John 1:13-14 Against personal interpretation. 2 Peter 1:20-21 again PROTESTant is being REMINDED by This verse The Pope and his Catholic Church Guidance needed to interpret scriptures. Acts 8:30-31 Bible Christians Take Notes For the first 1,500 years there were only Catholics …. (no protesters)……..until Fr. Martin Luther O.S.A. an Augustinian monk protested against the Mother Catholic Church due to some bad members of the Church selling “indulgences” (Judas) Thus starting the division (denominations) of Jesus body. PROTESTANT means epeople who PROTESTED against Mother Catholic Church (and that's a fact) GOD BLESS Al Mescallado |

46 | The church as the pillar of Truth? | 1 Tim 3:15 | junmeskie | 136707 | ||
The church (not the Bible) is the Bulwark and the Pillar of Truth: 1Timothy 3:15 The church (not the people) is the Bulwark and the Pillar of Truth: 1Timothy 3:15 Jesus deposited his faith in the Catholic Church (Matt. 16:18)...only HE LEFT US HIS ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH SO WE CAN BE GUIDED the RIGHT WAY.. POPE AND AUTHORITY Christ gave Pope Peter alone the "keys of the kingdom" (Matt. 16:19) and promised that Peter’s decisions would be binding in heaven. He also gave similar power to the other apostles (Catholic Bishops) (Matt. 18:18), but only Peter was given the keys, symbols of his authority to rule the Church on earth in Jesus’ absence. Jesus promised he would not leave us orphans (John 14:18) but would send the Holy Spirit to guide and protect us (John 15:26). HE GUARANTEED THE HOLY SPIRIT ONLY TO HIS ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH Jesus did not guarantee The Holy Spirit to all......IF HE DID ....WHAT IS THE REASON FOR OVER 33,000 DENOMINATIONS These never ending multiplications of Protestant Churches are Satan’s plan not God. The Church has remained ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC—not through man’s effort, but because God preserves the Church he established (Matt. 16:18, 28:20). JESUS LEFT US A SHEPHERD (now we call The Pope) “And the sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd” John 10:16 The main reason for all the splits in Protestantism is the false doctrine of individual interpretation of the Bible, every person who does this thinks they are their own Pope. He gave the sacraments to heal, feed, and strengthen us. The seven sacraments — baptism, the Eucharist, penance (also called reconciliation or confession), confirmation, holy orders, matrimony, and the anointing of the sick—are not just symbols. They are signs that actually convey God’s grace and love. The sacraments were foreshadowed in the Old Testament by things that did not actually convey grace but merely symbolized it circumcision, for example, prefigured baptism, and the Passover meal prefigured the Eucharist. When Christ came, he did not do away with symbols of God’s grace. He super naturalized them, energizing them with grace. He made them more than symbols. CHRISTIANITY IS NOT ME and JESUS and THE BIBLE ALONE CHRISTIANITY IS NOT ME and THE BIBLE ALONE CHRISTIANITY IS NOT AN INDIVIDUALISTIC FAITH CHRISTIANITY IS NOT SELFISH FAITH CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A BURGER KING FAITH ”have it your way Christianity” is not biblical CHRISTIANITY IS FAMILY OF GOD --- TO PROTECT HIS TEACHING FROM THE HERETICS --- The role of APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION in preserving true doctrine is illustrated in the Bible. http://www.geocities.com/junmeskie/Apostolic.html Jesus deposited his faith in the Catholic Church (Matt. 16:18)...only Jesus promised, "I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18). Meaning his church (Catholic) will never be destroyed by bad members and anti-Catholics until his return. FOR JESUS IS GOD with supernatural powers IF JESUS IS INFALLIBLE HIS CHURCH WILL ALSO BE INFALLIBLE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! GOD BLESS Al Mescallado |

Indeed if you read the writtings of the Apotolic Fathers you will see the Catholic Church. I will make this answer very simple if you just listen to THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH Hosts: Kris Franklin (Evangelical) and Rosalind Moss (Jewish and Fundamental) converts share their conversion to the Faith.

48 | EXPLAIM CHAPTER 3 VERSE 5 | John | junmeskie | 102779 | ||
One key Scripture reference to being "born again" or "regenerated" is John 3:5, where Jesus says, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." This verse is so important that those who say baptism is just a symbol must deny that Jesus here refers to baptism. "Born again" Christians claim the "water" is the preached word of God. But the early Christians uniformly identified this verse with baptism. Water baptism is the way, they said, that we are born again and receive new life—a fact that is supported elsewhere in Scripture (Rom. 6:3–4; Col. 2:12–13; Titus 3:5). No Church Father referred to John 3:5 as anything other than water baptism. Justin Martyr "As many as are persuaded and believe that what we (Christians) teach and say is true, and undertake to be able to live accordingly, and instructed to pray and to entreat God with fasting, for the remission of their sins that are past, we pray and fast with them. Then they are brought by us where there is water and are regenerated in the same manner in which we were ourselves regenerated. For, in the name of God, the Father . . . and of our Savior Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Spirit [Matt. 28:19], they then receive the washing with water. For Christ also said, ‘Unless you are born again, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven’ [John 3:3]" (First Apology 61 A.D. 151). Irenaeus "‘And (Naaman) dipped himself . . . seven times in the Jordan’ (2 Kgs. 5:14). It was not for nothing that Naaman of old, when suffering from leprosy, was purified upon his being baptized, but (this served) as an indication to us. For as we are lepers in sin, we are made clean, by means of the sacred water and the invocation of the Lord, from our old transgressions, being spiritually regenerated as newborn babes, even as the Lord has declared: ‘Except a man be born again through water and the Spirit, he shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven’" (Fragment 34 A.D. 190). Tertullian "No one can attain salvation without baptism, especially in view of the declaration of the Lord, who says, ‘Unless a man shall be born of water, he shall not have life’" (Baptism 12:1 A.D. 203). Hippolytus "The Father of immortality sent the immortal Son and Word into the world, who came to man in order to wash him with water and the Spirit; and he, begetting us again to incorruption of soul and body, breathed into us the Spirit of life, and endued us with an incorruptible panoply. If, therefore, man has become immortal, he will also be God. And if he is made God by water and the Holy Spirit after the regeneration of the laver he is found to be also joint-heir with Christ after the resurrection from the dead. Wherefore I preach to this effect: Come, all ye kindreds of the nations, to the immortality of the baptism" (Discourse on the Holy Theophany 8 A.D. 217). and more I believed that we should listen to the interpretations of the Early Church Fathers. I read that Polycarp taught Justin Martyr is a student of John the Evangelist It's arrogant to insist that our personal or today's ministers or pastors has a better interpretations than these early christians.

PLease read this verse carefully Matthew 28:19-20 - Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you "Teaching them to observe ALL THINGS whatsoever I have commanded you.." ALL THINGS Jesus did not says "Teaching them to observe THE FUNDAMENTALS I have commanded you.." We have the habits of picking verses and doctrine that suits our human interest so I compared them like the Burger King comercial "Have it your way" That's all what I'm saying I'm not suggesting NO MORE NO LESS BUT "Teaching them to observe ALL THINGS whatsoever I have commanded you.." I hope I made myself crystal clear. God Bless |

(Luke 1:1-4 NASB) Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, 2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word have handed them down to us, HANDED DOWN meaning Traditions it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order REF: Old Testament also READ John 21:25 , most excellent Theophilus; 4 so that you might know the exact truth about the things you have been taught. VERSES FOR ORAL TRADITIONS 2 Thessalonians 2:15 – 2, John 1:12, 3 John 1:13-14 John 20:31 NASB) but these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name. AMEN THIS VERSE DOES NOT CONTRADICT THE APOSTLES TRADITIONS Jude said we know all things once and for all. HE IS REFERRING: to the Old Testament not the NT since they are not finished yet. READ John 21:25 Luke said he compiled an account so we would know the exact truth. HE DID NOT SAY FULL OR 100 percent TRUTH and how could he know the full truth the New Testament are still being written, again Luke is referring to the OT which is already done in scrolls There were NO BIBLE at the time of the Apostles, majority of the people at that time cannot read nor write the reason for Jesus commanded his apostles to preach (not to write) Matthew 28:19-20 READ "Where We Got The Bible" VERSES FOR: Scriptures and Apostles Traditions 2 Thessalonians 2:15 “Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.” "WORD” preached and "EPISTLE” written 2 Timothy 2:2 “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit Thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also...” ALSO READ THESE VERSES: 2 Timothy 2:2, 1 Corinthians 11:2, 1 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 John 1:12, 3 John 1:13-14 and Acts 2:42 |

CHURCHES? hmmmm per Oxford World Christian Encyclopedia April 2001 there were 820,000 Denominations as you can see all of them believed they have the truth (the Bible that is) but none of these competing churches agree on what the Bible says. Besides Jesus promised, "I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18). He did not say churches? THIS IS NOT MINOR ISSUES BUT REALLY TROUBLING DON'T YOU THINK? Since childhood the Bible Alone (Sola Scriptura) is our source for truth. Even this belief I can't find it in the bible, it only says "profitable" which is good but it does not says sufficient or enough (again would this be tradition that was made-up by Luther?) Instead I found this verse John 21:25 not everything were written. This kind of bother me when we can give excuses to our traditions that came from our elders (men) but WE CANNOT SEE other's traditions like the Catholics who believed they follow the traditions of the 12 apostles which were handed personally by Jesus himself. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 “Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.” "WORD” preached and "EPISTLE” written 2 Timothy 2:2 “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit Thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also...” ALSO READ THESE VERSES: 2 Timothy 2:2, 1 Corinthians 11:2, 1 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 John 1:12, 3 John 1:13-14 and Acts 2:42 As a Bible Alone believing Christians please support your answers with scriptures only.

How can we be assured of our own salvation if St. Paul wasn't (1 Corinthians 9:27)? Salvation is not a "one time" event, but an ongoing process until "the end" (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; Mark 13:13). READ MY COMPLETE ANSWER ON THIS TOPIC YOU WON'T MISS IT SAME SUBJECT. |

59 | Are you onced saved always saved? | John | junmeskie | 102646 | ||
The Satanic doctrine of "Once Saved, Always Saved" seems to have originated mainly with Fundamentalist Christians. The perfect example of how this doctrine is false is Judas Iscariot. He believed in Jesus Christ, walked with Him, was one of the Twelve and was given the same powers from Him as the others. Yet what Christian believes that Judas Iscariot went to Heaven? According to this doctrine, I would say Fundamentalist Christians would have to believe Judas is in Heaven as he more than met the requirements of salvation according to this false doctrine. Another good example is Lucifer (Satan) - abided in Heaven, knew God Himself, lived with God Himself yet he was not "saved" when given the opportunity for he now resides in Hell as punishment for the sin of pride. This sin occurred AFTER having known and accepted God. In my opinion, this doctrine helps Satan greatly by instilling a false sense of security and self-confidence among Christians concerning their salvation. They think they can't sin anymore and even if they do, no punishment will be due them as Christ paid for all our sins. This makes it easier for Satan to tempt us to sin. How can we be assured of our own salvation if Paul wasn't (1 Corinthians 9:27)? Salvation is not a "one time" event, but an ongoing process until "the end" (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; Mark 13:13). |

60 | EXPLAIM CHAPTER 3 VERSE 5 | John | junmeskie | 102644 | ||
Romans 5:12 "Sin entered the world through one man (Adam) and through sin death. And thus, death has spread through the whole human race because everyone has sinned. Sin existed in the world long before law was given." Because of sin of Adam and Eve our first parent, we are born without grace in our souls, so there is no way for us to have fellowship with God. Jesus became man to bring us into union with his Father. He said no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is first born of "water and the Spirit" (John 3:5)—this refers to baptism as I believed it is. Through baptism we are born again, but this time on a spiritual level instead of a physical level. We are washed in the bath of rebirth (Titus 3:5). We are baptized into Christ’s death and therefore share in his Resurrection (Rom. 6:3–7). Baptism cleanses us of sins and brings the Holy Spirit and his grace into our souls (Acts 2:38, 22:16). And the apostle Peter is perhaps the most blunt of all: "Baptism now saves you" (1 Pet. 3:21). Baptism is the gateway into the Church. Ezekiel 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. WATER means WATER as you can SEE it. Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. Acts 2: 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. BAPTISM IS NOT A SYMBOLIC ACT IT DOES SOMETHING FOR OUR PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL BEING. WE ARE ADOPTED TO HIS FAMILY BUT BEFORE WE ARE ACCEPTED WE MUST BE CLEANSE BY TAKING A SHOWER TO TAKE OFF DIRTS. YES WE SHOULD TAKE JESUS WORDS LITERALLY SINCE HE REITERATED THIS MANY TIMES, WE WILL KNOW IF HE IS TALKING SYMBOLICALLY, NOT IN THIS CASE. CAPIZ God Bless |
