Is The Whole Holy Bible

[Chatgirl]

yes I sure do. Always have. Born Catholic and never went through that phase where I didn't want to go. When we walk into church, many turn and welcome each other. The priest usually stands at the back of the church and welcomes, jokes, talks with people coming in. Half way thru Mass there's a part where we are to welcome each other with a wave (Covid times), before it was a hug or a hand shake. My Bible readings are 3 each Mass, with the priest doing a homily where he explains the readings to us. Love it. Strengthens my faith for sure.

on what?

do you go to a church because if so, I would be interested in knowing which one

I already told you, non-denominational.

 

[Dino246]

and "Scripture Alone"?

What about it?

 

[RaceRunner]

What about it?

"Scripture Alone" is "non-denominational".

 

[Dino246]

"Scripture Alone" is "non-denominational".

Is that a statement or a question?

 

[RaceRunner]

Is that a statement or a question?

That is a statement I believe to be true.

 

[Dino246]

That is a statement I believe to be true.

Okay, but how is it relevant to this thread?

The Bibe can't be both "Scripture Alone" and "Non-denominational Alone" at the same time.

 

[Dino246]

The Bibe can't be both "Scripture Alone" and "Non-denominational Alone" at the same time.

Why not?

 

[Nehemiah6]

Non-denominational?

The Bible is non-denominational in that it is used by all denominations. At the same time the Catholic and Orthodox bibles are different from Protestant or non-Catholic bibles in that they have added books to the Old Testament.

?????

The Bible is Scripture. The Bible does not promote any denomination. Denominations are not a Biblical construct.

 

[Mofastus]

go stand in the corner

shame Mofastus. shame. don't you even understand a simple holy whole poll?

this op and the alt runners of the same origin, are the closest thing we have to a black hole and therefore, they are science!

Imagine that!

When did this happen?

 

[RaceRunner]

Why not?

Because "Scripture Alone" and "Non-denominational are two different concepts; if both these concepts are alone, they can't happen at the same time.

I was born and raised a Catholic but haven't been to mass in years. I have attended church services in a few other denominations but, interestingly enough, although I don't agree with a lot of Catholic doctrines, that church is the only one that I felt at peace with while attending mass.

I already told you, non-denominational.

so non denom to you means you do whatever

got it

I don't find you believable at all. you really are just messing with people here as a number have already said

just pressing the ignore button now

 

[Ted01]

It means Christian waiters and waitresses are in good shape.

Well, I do thank God for Christian waiter's and waitresses LOL.
Where would the world be without them!!

Never-the-less, the posted verses seem to imply that there were denominations even it Jesus' day.
His answer was basically, "Yeah? Good." lol

 

[Dino246]

Because "Scripture Alone" and "Non-denominational are two different concepts; if both these concepts are alone, they can't happen at the same time.

That's nonsensical. The two are not in contradiction with each other. If your assertion were sound, you could be "male alone" OR "human alone" but not both.

 

[Nehemiah6]

When did this happen?

The OT Apocrypha was incorporated into the Septuagint (Greek translation of the OT) around 200 BC. The Greek Orthodox Church accepted ten of those book as part of the OT. However, when Jerome translated the Bible into the Latin Vulgate, he made seven of those books a part of the Old Testament (under duress). Then the Catholic Church made that its official bible through the Council of Trent. So the Catholic OT looks like this:

OLD TESTAMENT
Genesis
Exodus
Leviticus
Numbers
Deuteronomy
Joshua
Judges
Ruth
1 Samuel
2 Samuel
1 Kings
2 Kings
1 Chronicles
2 Chronicles
Ezra
Nehemiah
Tobit
Judith
Esther
Job
Psalms
Proverbs
Ecclesiastes
Song of Solomon
Wisdom
Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)
Isaiah
Jeremiah
Lamentations
Baruch
Ezekiel
Daniel
Hosea
Joel
Amos
Obadiah
Jonah
Micah
Nahum
Habakkuk
Zephaniah
Haggai
Zechariah
Malachi
1 Maccabees
2 Maccabees
