Independent Fundamental Baptist TheSword 862 Posted February 15, 2013 Independent Fundamental Baptist Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I just wanted to thank you for putting your trust in our Catholic bishops (Church Fathers in general) like St. Polycarp. The Catholic Church thanks you too. I don't put trust in your Catholic bishops or Polycarp. I put my trust in my savior Jesus Christ. Polycarp was just a man.

Moderators Ukulelemike 3,836 Posted February 15, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Interestingly, there IS a place for traditions in churches. It is how they are used and how highly they are placed that is important for us to consider. Paul does, indeed, speak of traditions in a positive light-but traditions are just that-traditions, made by man, for their purposes, and can NEVER be exalted higher than, or as high as, scripture. They are things that are an aspect of our liberty in Christ, but at the same time, cannot disagree with scripture. For instance, in our church, being a very rural church, in a farming community, its rare to see a suit, except on me, and I even sometimes doff the tie and jacket. However, in some more urban centers, a pastor without suit and tie would be unthinkable-its a tradition, a fine one, but not scripture, and will neither make or break a church either way. If I went to a church that carried that tradition, I would follow it for their edification and in recognition of their authority in that church, but I would expect not to be judged for sometimes not wearing them in our church. Suit and tie=tradition. Neat and modest, however, are Bible and God-honoring. What the RCC follows, however, are traditions of men, believed to have equal or higher authority than scripture, and that is the same error of the Pharisees which Jesus condemned. When a man stands and claims to speak with complete authority over the world, in the place of God, that is wickedness and will be judged as such. Altar Christus? Another Christ? I think not.

Melchizedek 1 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Having read this thread I am unable to find where this gentleman was lying or being misleading. This type of response is what sickens me about the IFB movement of which I am embarrased to say I am a part of. While the RCC may be very wrong on many points of doctrine yet sadly this is also a fact amongst many IFB churches today - I do not see how his statement that he is a christian belonging to a bible believing church would evoke such harsh words. It is a known fact that the IFB HATE the RCC yet I say look to your own house before judging anothers, the very foundation of the IFB is rotten to the core these days yet they continue to look outwards in harsh condemnation and judgmental critisism rather than repairing their own house and leading in gentleness and truth which is the very nature of Christ. Though the RCC may be in doctrinal error as an institution, there are many saved believers within that institution as is the case in many others and just as there are many saved in the RCC there are as many wolfs, cultists and doctrinaly bigoted idiots within the IFB. 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. When us IFB's can live as Christ above commanded we will lead the world unto truth as men not as pouting spoilt children bickering amongst ourselves and believing that we are the only saved and doctrinally correct bunch out there! Gosh that's a bad attitude Jesus commands us to love, especially the Catholic Church he founded. Link to post Share on other sites

No, I'm not speaking of Apostolic Succession-there is no such thing. Apostles were for the beginning of the church, and no more-there were only 12 Apostles of the Lamb. There is no sacred tradition, except for what some men chose to call such and that doesn't give them the authority. No, I am speaking fo Christian liberty; the Bible lays out some clear boundaries for our lives and how we are to conduct business in the assembly of the church-outside of those specific things, we have some liberty, again, things such as dress styles, how or if we use music/instruments, facial hair, how long service is, times and days of assembling, etc. In such, there are no specific rules of how, though there may be some in forms and the like, as in, keeping worldliness out, modesty in dress, and the like.

If you read my post as faith in the Catholic false bible, then I can see why you are Catholic-apparently you don't read, or understand, very well. As for the apostolic succession you count as being the beginnings of the RCC, this is according to Catholic history only, not actual history, including Peter as the first bishop of Rome. If you remember in the Bible, Paul said that Peter was given the job as the apostle to the circumcision, while he, Paul, was the apostle to the Gentiles. Since Rome was Gentile, there is no reason to believe Peter ever did any service there as Bishop or otherwise. The Epistle to the Romans never mentions Peter as being there, which would be odd if he was there as Bishop, or in ANY form, seeing as how he was one of the 12, and Paul would have been remiss to forget to name him in the epistle.

We have a Bible thanks only to our Lord, not the Catholics, if the Catholics had their way no one would have had a Bible outside of the leaders of the RCC. Please, please stop trying to rob God of His glory placing it on the false teaching RCC. ALL glory goes only to our Lord. Its become quite clear that your here to promote the RCC, & its false teachings, not to learn God's truths. I've graciously replied to you several times point you to Bible truths & you reject them putting forth the false teachings of the RCC. And please remember, I did not go to a RCC forum promoting God's true teachings & pointing out the false teachings of the RCC, you came to a Baptist forum telling us our teachings are wrong, & the RCC teachings are correct. I would not expect to be graciously accepted if I went to a RCC forum doing what you've done here. Your teachings leads souls though the wide broad gate into the pits of hell not though the narrow strait gate that leads to life. At least in this forum you have been exposed to God's truth, my prayer is that a seed of truth has been planted in your mind, & at some point it will be watered & God will give the increase. 1Co 3:5 ¶ Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 1Co 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 1Co 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

Which Apostle does the Roman church trace to then? It can't be Peter or Paul; upon examination of Scripture they were not in Rome until well after the founding of the church (please don't use the Peter-rock argument unless you want to look silly). Thomas was in Smyrna. John spent his final days on Patmos. James was martyred in Jerusalem. Andrew went north to the Black Sea area (perhaps beyond). Philip was primarily in Syria, Phrygia, and Greece. Bartholomew/Nathaniel went to India. The other James is said to have gone to Egypt. Thaddeus and Simon the Zealot stayed in/around the Levant. Aside from the information on Peter and Paul, the information on the rest of the Apostles is based on historical tradition, but none of them appear to have made Rome their mission field.

So the pope being the "vicar of christ" is an abomination - there is no such title bestowed apon man in the Word, and no man is given sole authority over the church - that belongs to Jesus and Him alone. The word Catholic came about in the 2nd century. St. Ignatius of Antioch was one of the first to use the term "Catholic Church." Jesus said he was going to start one church and he was going to leave someone in charge. No where does Jesus say I want you to write about this and make a book we'll eventually call the Bible. No where in the Bible does it mention anything about reading about His ministry. I whole heartedly agree. We condemn idolatry too. We do not worship Mary or anyone else the same as Jesus. You have to use the correct usage for worship (latria or dulia). Latria means adoration. We latria God. Dulia means to venerate or honor (much like honoring your parents). We NEVER worship (latria) Mary or anyone else. But we honor Mary because she is the mother of God incarnate. I can see we have a huge gap in interpretation. It has nothing to do with reading the Bible. I read it the same way the early Church Fathers read the Bible. And just because the Bible says "word of God" does not mean in written form only. Oral tradition as well. There we have tradition again. Who's tradition? God's tradition. Link to post Share on other sites
