Who here has the courage to reject the Pericope Adulterae?

[Alan G77]

Wow! Alan, at least you know what to think and how to judge.

Not judging bro, just letting you know that Bible explicity states that in the end days people will turn from sound doctrine and heaps up teachers for themselves to scratch their itching ears.

I don't know what your church affiliation is, but you seem threatened by the idea of freedom and by The Spirit of Holiness being our ultimate authority and power. You have misconstrued my position to be making myself the arbiter of truth, and that is not what I said

.

I am from the Holy Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of the East. I am free and the Holy Spirit resides within me, how do I know this? Because He corrects, rebukes, encourages and sustains me. He also led me back to our Holy Church, and ensures that I do not interpret Bible passages according to my own thoughts but rather rely on the interpretation of the Holy Church.

I did not think I would get very far on the forum with this line of reasoning, but if it provokes serious thought and heart searching for one person, it will have been worth it.

What is you line of reasoning bro? Mine is this, Jesus Christ established His church and I am a part of this Church, which constitutes His body and so therefore I am a member of His body. To leave the Church is to seek ones own version of truth that satisfies the questions that arise in ones own mind. We see in the Bible time and time again the laying of the hands that is given to those who will preside over the other members of the Church.

Never do we see in the Bible, anyone arise and form their own version of the Church with its own interpretations of service, worship and sacraments. This occurs when those men opposed Moses and questioned his authority and the earth devoured them, the book of Jude also vehemently opposes such people.

Let me ask you, was Jesus a failure? In accordance with your logic this would make Him so (Khaslee). Because according to protestant logic Christianity was wayward for 1600 years until Luther fixed things, therefore making Christ and His blessed apostles, failures. I would love to hear your reaction to this statement.

Peace to all who love our Lord in sincerity and Truth,

May God bless you.
