Who follows the Roman Catholic Church may surprise you! Sola Scriptura?
Posted : 16 Aug, 2019 12:13 PM
The Roman Catholic Church teaches divine authority is founded by a combination of Scripture and Church Tradition. While the Protestants protest Church Tradition as authoritative they still accept the Books the Roman Catholic Church chose for them as their foundation of truth. To complicate matters further; the Protestants rejected the Apocrypha as inspired on the word of the same Jews who reject Jesus. Therefore "Sola Scriptura" is in fact an incomplete statement. Rather it should be: "We only follow the Scriptures Rome picked for us, except those the Jews reject." The irony is these same people claim they have the Only Truth from God based on a Text inherited from those they disagree with.

Prophetic7744;
Please post in the appropriate sections. I know you are old and probably can't use a computer very well except to cut and paste, but can you please try to put your posts in the right section? You indeed are the author of confusion in this section.
Btw, to answer your idiotic accusations: (that you can't seem to get in the right section);
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

This is a DISCUSSION forum! Do you know what that means? 🙄

Zecharyah wrongly claims that I believe in **SUPERSESSIONISM**
Two Wrong Kinds of Covenant Theology:
Today, two false brands of covenant theology are leading some conservative Evangelicals to teach false ways of salvation that the Holy Spirit condemns in Galatians chapter one. The false doctrine of dual-covenant theology teaches that Jews are saved by their observance of the Old Testament law, while Gentiles are saved by faith in Jesus Christ. Another aberrant teaching called One Law Theology, embraced by Messianic Jews and tolerated by growing numbers of Evangelicals, teaches that Gentiles in effect must become Jews in order to be saved.
Dual-Covenant Theology:
Televangelist John Hagee's dual-covenant statements have been reported in a Houston newspaper. Hagee said, "I believe that every Jewish person who lives in the light of the Torah, which is the word of God, has a relationship with God and will come to redemption," and "I'm not trying to convert the Jewish people to the Christian faith." The news article went on to report: "In fact, trying to convert Jews is a 'waste of time,' [Hagee] said.
However, in John 14:6: Jesus says, "I am the the Way the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father **EXCEPT THROUGH ME**!"
One Law Theology
The movement called Messianic Judaism has gained increasing popularity among Evangelicals over the past forty years. Most Messianic Jews embrace what is called "One Law Theology." The main teaching of One Law Theology is that both Jews and Gentiles are required to observe the entirety of the Old Testament law. Messianic Jews define sin as any violation of any part of the first five books of the Old Testament. They insist - wrongly - that this is what the New Testament teaches. They even go so far as to teach that the Apostle Paul remained a law-keeping Pharisee to the end of his life!
One-Law Theology has many destructive consequences. Many Messianic Jews teach, for example, that a Gentile believer in Christ must be circumcised in order to be a member of the covenant. They also observe the Old Testament Jewish feast days. They hold their worship services on Friday evenings or Saturday mornings rather than on Sunday, the New Testament Lord's Day. And in their teachings they avoid the use of the term, "the cross" because they consider it to be a Gentile term, and they emphasize the use of Hebrew terminology in their teachings.
Many Evangelicals have taken a tolerant attitude toward these doctrinal deviancies, and some have adopted the position that any criticism of Messianic Judaism is anti-Semitic. This is not a legitimate charge. There is nothing anti-Semitic about honest, Biblical criticism of any theology that seeks to bring elements of the Jewish law back into the Christian faith, and this certainly applies to an honest and Biblical evaluation of the theology of Messianic Judaism. Anything that brings the Old Testament Jewish system back into the Christian faith is a denial of the Gospel.
REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY OR SUPERSESSIONISM
Punitive **SUPERSESSIONISM** suggests that Christians replaced Jews as God's chosen people in this new covenant era and that, other than their coming to Christ, God was finished with any further plan for Jews after the first century.
However, God will miraculously save 144,000 Jewish evangelists during the Great Tribulation and God's 2 Witnesses during the Great Tribulatiuon will definately be 2 famous Jews who will be Moses and Elijah.
I was a missionary in Israel and I will make a wild guess that only about 4,000 Jews in Israel and about 25,000 Jews inthe USA are truly born again. There are presently about 6.5 million Jews in Israel, about 6.5 million Jews in the USA and about 2 million Jews in the rest of the world for a total of about 15 million Jews.
During the Great Tribulation two thirds of the approximately 15 million Jews will be killed but one third or about 5 million Jews or **ALL ISRAEL** that is left will be saved with the help of Moses and Elijah and 144,00 Jewsish evangelists and thousands of Gentile evangelists.
Romans 11:25-28: I do not want you to br ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of Gentiles has come in {See Revelation 7:9-18}. And so **ALL ISRAEL** will be saved... As far as the Gospel is concerned, they are enemies on your account; but as far as election is cocerned, they are loved on account of the Patriarchs, for God's gifts and His call are irrevocable!!
Zechariah 13:8-9: In the whole land," declares the Lord, two-thirds will be struck downand perish; yet one-third will be left in it. This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on My name and I will answer them; I will say, "They are My people,' and they will say, "The Lord is our God!'"
And so I am not a **SUPERSSESIONIST** who believes that God was finished with any other plan for the Jews after the first century!
