"To live in a neglect of love, in all the effects and fruits of it, towards such on any pretenses, to design their hurt and evil, is to live in open contradiction unto all the rules of the gospel. Such severe thoughts are the principal causes and occasion of all pernicious evils in religion, especially those which are most scandalous unto it, and most inconsistent with that good of mankind which Christian religion is designed to promote; for things are come to that pass among the generality of Christians, that when once persons begin to damn others in their minds for their dissent from them, they judge themselves at liberty, and count that it is their duty, to do them all the mischief they can in this world. They first make themselves their judges that they must go to hell, and then would be their executioners, to send them thither as fast as they can. Whether this be a representation of Christ or of the devil is not hard to determine. Sure I am, it is not compliant with the advice given unto all guides of the church, of an attendance whereunto they must give an account, 2 Tim 2:24-26: “And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;...”" (John Owen -Volume 14, pg 486) |

"...if any of those men, which, illuminated only by the light of nature, did see and pronounce the causes sufficient why women ought not to bear rule nor authority, should this day live and see a woman sitting in judgment, or riding from Parliament in the midst of men, having the royal crown upon her head, the sword and the scepter borne before her, in sign that the administration of justice was in her power: I am assuredly persuaded, I say, that such a sight should so astonish them, that they should judge the whole world to be transformed into the Amazons, and that such a metamorphosis and change was made of all the men of that country, as poets do feign was made of the companions of Ulysses; or at least, that albeit the outward form of men remained, yet should they judge their hearts were changed from the wisdom, understanding, and courage of men, to the foolish fondness and cowardice of women. Yea, they further should pronounce, that where women reign or be in authority, that there must needs vanity be preferred to virtue, ambition and pride to temperance and modesty; and finally, that avarice, the mother of all mischief, must needs devour equity and justice."

Your Catholic Friend wrote: Dear Lurker,As Protestants love the Bible, so does the Catholic Church: Your Catholic Friend Yea, Right! Pardon me for butting in Lurker, but it's hard to remain silent at such a rediculous statement.The Roman Catholic Catechism Paragraph #97 says, "Sacred tradition and sacred scripture make up a single, sacred deposit of the Word of God." Also, "Consequently it is not from Sacred Scripture alone that the Church draws her certainty about everything which has been revealed. Therefore both sacred tradition and Sacred Scripture are to be accepted and venerated with the same sense of loyalty and reverence. – Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation (Dei Verbum), promulgated by Paul VI on November 18, 1965, Chap. 2, para 10" Re 22:18 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:" Re 22:19 "And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book." Nothing mentioned about tradition. Hmmm! |

Tony, If web-space were paper, Sermon Audio would need to charge you extra for using so much. Do you really think people read again that which you have posted more than once? You might try to restrain yourself for the sake of others. But then, we see nearly every post what you think of others. TLC wrote: Sorry "dopey", But I'll Take GOD's PERFECT WILL Over Your "good will" ANY "Twinkling Of An Eye", ANY Minute, ANY Hour, ANY Day, ANY Year, ANY Generation & FOR ALL ETERNITY ! BTW, Tony, GOD'S PERFECT WILL is this:"And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment." 1 John 3:23 Doesn't appear that you really take God's perfect will after all... |

I trust all is well, or at least as well as can be expected? I am recuperating from a minor op, so am posting a bit more than usual while time passes until I can get back to my painting.Which link were you referring to? ______________ If I've missed anyone, please do refer me to your post, as I'm playing catchup. Sorry John, the link I was referring to was:[URL=http://www.chapellibrary.org/files/archive/pdf-english/ebtb.pdf]]]ENGLISH BIBLE TRANSLATIONS: BY WHAT STANDARD? [/URL] I vaguely remember you expressing an interest in the booklet when WEB initially posted the link. After reading it, it seemed to me that it was very much in line with your own views on the subject. John, thanks for the very kind words. I have been a little distracted with my daughter's courtship. It has been up and down emotionally and may end soon in failure, but better to find out now rather than after marriage. I do keep up with reading the posts, but I don't have the time or energy to participate much. Hope your surgery went well. Lord Bless you! |
