To deny that Jesus gave His very own authority to sinful human beings is to deny the Great Commission. see Matthew 28:16-20
I am quite aware of those who have "no faith" of Christ (not seen) as that alone comes from hearing God through the scriptures. And therefore they must rather walk by sight after oral traditions of men
seen .
Their goal is to make the word of God (sola scriptura ) Like killing Christians receiving letter of approval from the Pope until the refomation put an end to those who did kill the "misperceived" competition as in out of sight out of mind. Walking by sight.(no faith)
Mark 7:13 Making the
word of God "of none"
effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and
many such like things do ye.
His authority is the living abiding word of God as all thing written in the law and the prophets(sola scriptura) It is the enemy of the Catholic sect making the oral traditions of the venerable a form of worship Catholic fathers without effect. It is why you must seek the approval of men seen and not the Holy Spirit not seen. Making
2 Timothy 2:15 without effect
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself "approved unto
God", a workman that needeth
not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
It becomes like a game to those who must seek the approval of men seen and the not the Holy Spirit not seen .One teaching authority trying to make the true authority (God's word) without effect .
We are warned of those who follow after the flesh and not the Holy Spirit not seen, who do say the teaching master must be in respect to men seen and not the Holy anointing Spirit, Christ.... not seen . Scripture infallibly informs us we abide in Him the teacher as He teaches us.
These things have I written unto you
concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which
ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye "need not" that
any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 1 john 2:26-27
Mark 7:13 Making the
word of God "of none"
effect through your
tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
The three fold BIBLICAL episcopate, that you deny, was necessary for the canon of the Bible to developed, which you deny, and the writings of the Early Fathers who compiled the inspired books in the first place. You have nothing to do with them because none of them were sola scripturist Protestants.
Well of course we deny. We as a apologist defendd that which defends us, the sword of the Spirit the word of God .It is after no man your oral tradition which you offer again makes the word of God without effect to that you can chase after another kind of teaching master other that the infallible word of God .
Scripture whether in part or the whole cannon which the Catholic must pretend God is still brining new revelations that they must call private revelations as interpretations of men (every man has one as a person commentary) like finger prints that differr one from another .Again in a hoping of making the word of God without effect so that can rather chase after the things seen to show others they have "no faith" that alone comes from hearing God and not man. But rather follow after the imagination of their own hearts (natural man)
Making the things of men (seen ) first and in doin so again making the authority of God not seen without effect.
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
Knowing this first, that no
prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the
prophecy came not in old time by the
will of man: but holy men of
God spake as they were
moved by the Holy Ghost.Peter 1:19-21
Below the oral tradition of Pope Urban as a law of the fathers
(men) It again makes the word of God without effect
"
In cases which concern private revelations, it is better to believe than not to believe, for, if you believe, and it is proven true, you will be happy that you have believed, because our Holy Mother asked it. If you believe, and it should be "proven false", you will receive all blessings "as if" it had been true, because you believed it "to be true."
Mark 7:13 Making the
word of God "of none"
effect through your
tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
That is illogical and self defeating, and you insult my heartfelt beliefs with ignorance and prejudice.
Its not about philosophies of men but is about the law of faith . God's not seen, law.
God's love rejoices with God's truth as
it is written .
Yes the Protestants prejudice does not lean on the understanding of the oral traditions of the Catholics father that they have named "apostolical succession" making the word of God without effect. But does lean on the understanding of the faith of God...... as in all things written in the law and the prophets (sola scriptura)
Chasing after the things seen as if the Kingdom of God was of this world only shows the Catholics have another teaching master other than all things written in the law and the prophets. Perhaps if it does insult or shame your oral traditions of men you might want to obey the commandment in 2 Timothy 2:15 .The sword of the Spirit does divide beteen the yhings og men seen and those of our living God not seen .
Which teaching master will you serve today .That of God not seen..... or that of men seen? The eternal or the temporal.
Where does it leave a non venerable pew Cathilic ? Whose approval can sek after .Those that worship men and call it venerating?
