Like Giggly and Missy understand the Spirit of Error. You can tell if you understand the Spirit of Truth.

DougLawr,

Those verses you posted have nothing to do with the Assumption of Mary.

Nice Try

Answer 1

The Bible is the word of God and is the ONLY book to be followed.

Answer 2

Sadly, too many christians do.

They believe whatever is told to them.

This is especially so for Catholics who worship the Pope as infallible. The only human being on the planet recognized as being above all human law and above all other human beings.

Because by the 19th Century decree the Pope is effectively a Living God, Catholics find it virtually impossible to consider that the Vatican is anything of other than a force for good, that claims the Catholic Church is worth over $3000 Billion (even though it refuses to release its total accounts) are lies.

Now, watch and wait as Pope Benedict ultimately "turns back the clock" of Vatican II and re-establishes secret Latin rites to the Church will all its power. Again, most Catholics will loyally follow, without even knowing or understanding its significance...

Answer 3

Christains will use the Bible and then make "Dogma's" based off their studies of the Bible. Dogma's are the Catholic Church's schalar's who apply modern life to Biblical life.

2,000 Years ago, Photography wasn't an issue ... Playboy wasn't an issue ... Internet Pornography wasn't an issue ... Oil wasn't an issue. Yet, the Bible does teach us ways we can use these to better mankind (loving God above all ...and loving our neighbor as we would want to be loved). Read any of the Pope's encyclical's and you'll see wisdom, and yes, some prophecies --- which are Jesus-Centric.

Answer 4

Yes, true Christianity trusts the teachings of the Church which has the divine authority to interpret scripture.

The Church was brought about by Jesus Christ...not man. It is a divine institution...not a man made one. So this divine institution, started by Jesus Christ...should have the authority to interpret and teach the scriptures.

A person can have personal revelation and teachings from scripture...but that is for them alone. Many have taken their personal interpretations and created religions around them.

Answer 5

The Spirit of Truth will teach us all understanding. For the Spirit of God teaches us deep things of God. Yet, we must first seek, knock, and ask the one who holds the truth and that is Jesus Christ. He is a living God who sits on the Throne of the Kingdom of God and when we make him our Lord and Savior, he will open the door of our hearts and our minds and show us that he is still a living God.
This will be done if we do as one has mentioned, love God more then our own lives, and our neighbor just as much as we love ourselves.
If Jesus is king he will show you the laws of the kingdom.
God bless.

Answer 6

No. I believe the bible and I attend a church that teaches from the bible.

Answer 7

A true Christian will follow the teachings of the Bible and not that of Roman Catholicism, or pentecostalism, or any other denomination that teaches error.

Answer 8

St. John told us in his gospel that there was indeed much more he could have written about ... so much so that all the books in the world could not suffice to hold it all.

Here's the account of Mary's Assumption in the Bible, according to the authentic teachings of St. John, the last living apostle, the one who Jesus loved, and to whom he entrusted the care of his mother, Mary:

Rev 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven: and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple. And there were lightnings and voices and an earthquake and great hail.

Rev 12:1 And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

Like all the rest of this mysterious book, it's hard to decipher, but not if you happen to be St. John, who received it all directly from Christ, and who wrote it down, and even explained it to his disciples and fellow Catholics ... Polycarp and Ignatius.

And here's what the Catholic Church has always understood about it, according to the authentic and personal testimony of Jesus, Mary, St. John, and many of the other apostles and disciples:

Excerpt from the official Catholic Church Document: MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS:

40. Hence the revered Mother of God, from all eternity joined in a hidden way with Jesus Christ in one and the same decree of predestination,[47] immaculate in her conception, a most perfect virgin in her divine motherhood, the noble associate of the divine Redeemer who has won a complete triumph over sin and its consequences, finally obtained, as the supreme culmination of her privileges, that she should be preserved free from the corruption of the tomb and that, like her own Son, having overcome death, she might be taken up body and soul to the glory of heaven where, as Queen, she sits in splendor at the right hand of her Son, the immortal King of the Ages.

Without the experience and authentic traditions of the one, true church, scripture is a puzzle without a key, and subject to all manners of erroneous interpretation.

Even the bible says so:

2Pe 1:13 But I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance.
2Pe 1:14 Being assured that the laying away of this my tabernacle is at hand, according as our Lord Jesus Christ also hath signified to me.
2Pe 1:15 And I will endeavour that you frequently have after my decease whereby you may keep a memory of these things.
2Pe 1:16 For we have not by following artificial fables made known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ: but we were eyewitnesses of his greatness.
2Pe 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, this voice coming down to him from the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him.
2Pe 1:18 And this voice, we heard brought from heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount.
2Pe 1:19 And we have the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts.
2Pe 1:20 Understanding this first: That no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation.
2Pe 1:21 For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost.

Answer 9

A true Christian focuses on the words of Jesus, to the exclusion of all else in the bible.

Jesus spelled it all out, for those who have ears let them hear.

Answer 10

Wait a minute, I think he's trying to say something....
