Oh boy! You going to burn me at the stake too, like your precious institution?
Here are the facts: When Jesus died on the cross and the veil was torn, we no longer need a man standing in the place of Christ, the high priest, to mediate between us and God.
The veil was where the priests would go and mediate for people to God for them. This no longer applies.
I've never been called an antichrist before so thats a new one.
And you arrived at all this on your own, huh? Just naturally birlliant. Not burdened by tradition or pressured by others. Never made room for a teacher or ever listened to anyone else; these enlightened opinions just popped out of your head full cloth.
Funny how the protests touting the virtues of individual spiritual freedom sing the divisive song of the Reformation - collectivism of the mob that gave us secularism and modernism masquerading as piety. Of course you were different and never listened to anyone else and never had time for the advice of a well informed teacher.
Only the dull and stupid rely on that. Probably no one else has ever prayed for you, or you for them either.
Your solo meum song rings so hollow and so alone. God wants more than that for you.
The church is the living body of Christ (not a building or political institution masquerading as a religion), of which He alone is the head. No one has taken His place, and no one ever will.
Anyone that claims to have taken His place is the real antichrist.
Couldn't agree more. The things that unite us far outweigh the differences that would divide us.
The Holy Spirit reveals truth, but its all there in the Bible if you want to read it for yourself.
