Biblical hijinks!

Then salvation has ended!
Obviously not. It marches steadily on under Christ's banner, without the Catholic church's futile attempts to be the banner carrier, and in spite of it.
 
Only Christ has authority to establish the church! Matt 16:18-19
One church! Jn 10:16 All others are sects “full of errors” “the tradition of men”! The new covenant Church is the eternal city of God! Household of faith! The pillar and ground of TRUTH! 1 Tim 3:15 Founded by Christ alone! Matt 16:18 on Peter and the apostles! Eph 2:20 Lk 22:29

The 30,000 sects (the tradition of men) having no authority at all! And holding and teaching contrary and new doctrines!
 
Hebrews 3:1
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

Jn 20:21
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

Lk 22:29
29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

Romans 1:5
By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

Apostles remain unto the end of the world and the ends of the earth
Matt 28:19-20 acts 1:8

Authority:

Acts 2:42
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

Acts 2:43
And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

Acts 4:33
And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

Thanks
I asked you to prove it setting all Catholic dogma aside and all you did was give scriptures that have nothing but Catholic dogma behind them. Now try doing it without that.
 
Only Christ has authority to establish the church!
Right. So why is the Catholic religion trying to do it?

Irrelevant, unsupported, not scriptural.

I don’t know what you mean by catholic dogma behind them?

I did not provide any Catholic dogma but I Can if you like?

All I did was provide scripture evidence and you do believe scripture is the only authority?

It is his church
Christ is king the church his kingdom that he established and teaches his reveled truth!

That has only been established by Catholics themselves. They bear witness of themselves and have no other witness. That is more of a red flag than anything else. I certainly wouldn't bank my life on it.
 
I don’t know what you mean by catholic dogma behind them?
It has only the Catholic interpretation of those scriptures which are all completely without context.
All I did was provide scripture evidence and you do believe scripture is the only authority?
I believe the scripture is its own authority on interpretation. You believe the Catholic church is the only authority on scripture interpretation, and that scripture cannot supply the meaning of something by it own consistency throughout and by virtue of its being the word of God. Which He intended for all people of all nations to have and He also gave to each a mind capable of thinking for itself. It is a tragedy when any organization attempts to take that thinking for itself away from people and tells them what it is they are to think.
 
Then salvation has ended!
Not until the Holy Spirit and his rebirth into eternal life has ended.

We are reborn by sovereign choice and act of the Holy Spirit, as unaccountable as the wind (Jn 3:3-8), not by administration of the apostles.

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Lk 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

Rev 21: 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

Matthew 5:14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Matt 21:43 taken from Israel given to Peter and the apostles Matt 16:18-19 18:18 Jn 20:21 eph 2:20


1 Peter 4:11

Jude 1:8
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

Jude 1:25
To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Christ is king and has all authority and dominion!

2 Corinthians 3:8
How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?

Christ appointed Peter, the apostles, and their successors to govern the church and administer the kingdom until He returns in glory!

Submission and obedience to them is submission and obedience to Christ!

Like Joseph under pharaoh the king and his brothers bowed in obedience to Him as God willed!

All scripture is inspired! Says nothing about context! Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life! Yes?
Show me the context for that statement?
It don’t exist, only a partial verse of scripture with no context, and according to context ex 20 only has 9 commandments!

I thought your sola was: scripture is the only authority? Now context is being added to scripture as an authority???

There can be no interpretation of scripture according to the sola: scripture is the only authority. Or that interpreter would be an authority!

Thanks

If scriptures interpret themselves that’s a circular argument
Only the church who wrote the NT can interpret

Or if scripture interprets scripture tell me what are the commandments referred to in Matt 28:20 and acts 1:2?
 
Not until the Holy Spirit and his rebirth into eternal life has ended.

We are reborn by sovereign choice and act of the Holy Spirit, as unaccountable as the wind (Jn 3:3-8), not by administration of the apostles.
Then why isn’t everyone reborn?
 
Then why isn’t everyone reborn?
For the same reason others are. . .sovereign choice of the Holy Spirit, as unaccountable as the wind (Jn 3:3-8).

Why did God choose Jacob and not Esau, before they were even born and had done anything to influence God's choice (Ro 9:10-12)?
 
God gives all men sufficient grace for justification and perseverance and in the end salvation, unless they reject it
 
God gives all men sufficient grace for justification and perseverance and in the end salvation, unless they reject it.
Please Biblically demonstrate remaining in agreement with the rest of the NT.
 
If scriptures interpret themselves that’s a circular argument
No it isn't. You simply don't know what it means or how it is done. Even though it has been demonstrated for you on many occasions and even pointed out that was what it was doing.
Only the church who wrote the NT can interpret
The church didn't write the NT. The apostles, eyewitnesses, and Luke did.
Or if scripture interprets scripture tell me what are the commandments referred to in Matt 28:20 and acts 1:2?
I already did that for you a long time ago and when I was done asked, "See how scripture interprets scripture?"
