The New Testament reveals that God created everything by the eternal Word, his beloved Son. In him "all things were created, in heaven and on earth.. . all things were created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together." The Church's faith likewise confesses the creative action of the Holy Spirit, the "giver of life", "the Creator Spirit" (Veni, Creator Spiritus), the "source of every good".

Let us move on from the vain babblings of earlier posts and consider the 4th Commandment received by Moses given by our God on the Holy Mount.
Whether you consider the Sabbath on Saturday or Sunday, How do you and your local Church honour God in this Holy Commandment?

Sola Gratia!

Solus Christus!

Soli Deo Gloria!

Gasp! Just from the SA title I thought the article was about the Catholic Church [URL=http://www.johnankerberg.org/Articles/_PDFArchives/roman-catholicism/RC1W0902.pdf]]]Is the One True Church Roman Catholic?[/URL].

"True Church
♦ There is no salvation outside this [Evangelical] church"

_______________________________________

“Meanwhile, intelligent conservative, orthodox Protestants continue to convert to Rome, and there are few if any resources to offer any response.

"Evangelicalism cannot mount such because it is not a church.

"That is a very serious problem, given that Rome thinks ecclesiastically.”

"Not you, Pope," "Observer," did a good job of answering you. Why should you even be concerned if Ankerberg is an old or new earther? Considering the popes believe in evolution, e.g., Evolution and the Pope. This includes the present His Unholiness back to the first pope,

That this has been reported from a non-Vatican site:

"John Paul II was reported as saying that evolution is "more than just a theory.""

It is a fallacy to believe that the Sabbath was changed from Saturday to Sunday. Jesus did not observe the Sabbath. In fact Jesus stated not to observe the Sabbath. Sunday has always been called the Lord's Day since the time of the early church. Nobody* has ever called Sunday the Christian Sabbath. Some have insanly** called Sunday the Sabbath.

Smaller supply of G films, makes the per movie demand higher.

Plus, R film dreck is real easy to just pump out of the sewer since there's plenty of it.

If you want to know what the 'true church' is up to now, read this article. They continue to break God's word and slither around Holy Writ for the sake of their 'tradition'. Would the true church of Jesus Christ blatantly sin against Him? No, but a false one would. This story deals with the worship of graven images and how it's 'okay', according to the RCC...

A true born again follower of Christ would never defend, nor stay in a cult religion like the RCC.

If the Roman Catholic Church is wrong for doing likewise, then Jesus has a double-standard?

Rev 1:1 ¶ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him,
**to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass;**
and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

"And, in fact, those kinds of quizzes have been given to demonstrate the gross ignorance of Evangelicals when it comes to fundamental Bible doctrines [including] the Gospel. They don't understand it. And yet, we're being told again and again and again that we need more instruction on sex. And it needs to be more and more explicit all the time.

"That is worse, I think, than anything you could cite from the Middle Ages that shows the apostasy of the Roman Catholic Church.

"[Evangelicalism is] in a serious, serious state of spiritual decline. And this sort of hyper-interest in sex is about as carnal as it could be and it's pretty much the worst trend the church could foster."

Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
What part of "come out of her" and "be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues" do you not understand?

It sure does not refer to the Catholic Church. The Whore of Babylon is not one specific church but is all False churches that deny the Deity of Jesus and the Holy Trinity.

"First there were Adam and Eve who fruitfully multiplied and filled the Earth mightily until Noah.

"This full Earth was subsequently wiped out because of sin and through the Great Flood and there were only 8 survivors.

"We conclude the first million years here. Then this pattern was roughly followed another 5,000 times until our current epoch.

"Now anywhere there's soil, we find human remains because there were literally trillions and trillions of people before you and me."

Isn't this a suspect story?

But now 1/2 of preachers think this way?

Or, to put it more simply Should Roman Catholicism really be classified as a Christian religion? -- No.

Dr. Ankerberg is to be avoided.
