Forged In Truth

@mac_ed43566 @BillArnoldTeach So, based on your interpretation of Sola Scriptura, anyone can preach and forgive and, bind in Heaven and Earth? Kind of a big issue. What’s your thoughts?

Hebrews 8:1 JESUS OUR HIGH PRIEST Hebrews 9:24 (Romans 8:34) Our mediator! 1 Peter 2:5 You also, like living stones, are being BUILT INTO A SPIRITUAL HOUSE to be a HOLY PREISTHOOD, OFFERING SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES acceptable to God THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. Ephesians 2:20-22 And are built upon the FOUNDATION OF THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS, JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF BEING THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth UNTO AN HOLY TEMPLE OF THE LORD: In whom ye also are builded together for AN HABITATION OF GOD THROUGH THE SPIRIT. WHAT IS IT THAT GOD'S CHURCH HAS AT THE END! Revelation 14:12: The commandments of God. Faith of Jesus. Revelation 19:10: The Testimony of Jesus Christ & The Spirit of Prophecy. If your church is lacking any of these Bill, please examine the evidence. God bless brother ⏳

If your church has no priesthood, who exactly is authorized to preach, forgive, and consecrate?

Serious Christians should let the record challenge the assumptions they inherited. Open James 2:24. Read the whole chapter.

This is not a Catholic argument. It is a reading comprehension exercise. The text says what it says.

"See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone."

Open Malachi 1:11. "From the rising of the sun even to its setting, my name is great among the nations." Beauty matters most when it teaches truth.

Basil placed liturgical orientation in the same category as the words spoken over the bread and cup. That is not a footnote.

In "On the Holy Spirit" (Chapter 27), he listed eastward prayer alongside the Sign of the Cross and the Eucharistic words of consecration. All three: ancient unwritten traditions traced to the apostles.

Christian history should press courage into the present — not stay trapped in admiration.

Open Revelation 2:10. "Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life." Polycarp heard that from the man who wrote it.

He said: "Eighty and six years have I served Him, and He never did me any injury: how then can I blaspheme my King and my Saviour?"

The Catechism is not offering a rule. It is describing a man who has his house in order. Open 1 Thessalonians 4:3-7.

Paul's ground for this in 1 Thessalonians 4:3-7 is not religious sentiment — it's that disregarding this means disregarding "not a human being but God."

CCC 2337: "the successful integration of sexuality within the person and thus the inner unity of man in his bodily and spiritual being."
