That’s a pretty thorough list. It shows why you can’t trust the popes and bishops without a more transcendent standard to compare their teachings to, as the RCC has wandered further from truth through the years. Thanks for posting it.

But Jesus tells us (and the pope and bishops) what we’re supposed to be teaching: Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV) 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations...20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you...

I can't see how He can save anyone with a false gospel. "For there is no other name given under heaven by which we must be saved." He might save some in spite of the false gospels Satan is promoting. But He only saves by the blood of Christ. Then you need to read your article more thoroughly...

@ffreeloader My issue about whether death means no activity at all for the deceased (even spiritual activity) is not the bible verses that are clearly for it, but those that seem to allow for the spiritual activity in some way. And much is tied to this discussion about what we should say to...

You think His will save us with a false gospel? I agree there are core and non-core issues. And Jesus preaching in hell is non-core. But I'm not so sure about the salvific work in hell part. Is it still an "honest error" if we are given evidence to the contrary and we dismiss it? I'll take a...

And to you, too. And me. And if we tell people a false gospel, we are locking them out of heaven. Btw, I don’t have a problem with the creeds, in general, but the “descended into hell” line appears to have crossed the line. You published the Nicene creed in that previous post, and it doesn’t...

impeccable adjective. (ˌɪmˈpɛkəbəl) Without fault or error. That’s fine, but you’re putting yourself in the position of a teacher with this kind of post. No need. He’s just a guy, too.

It deletes all comments from others, too? That seems like too powerful a command, if one is losing an argument, for instance.

Here’s what the author said about creeds further down: “ Our creeds are a summarizing of the Christian mysteries of Salvation History and a profession of our faith which is passed onto each generation in human history so they can know for certain the basic Christian confession of faith and thus...

You mean by burning people at the stake when they translated the Bible into common vernaculars?

That’s pretty rich. You start a thread that someone disagrees with, and you won’t have a discussion about it, but you want to continue teaching. Who exactly are you accountable to? Or are you a primary authority on the truths of spiritual things? Does the Bible provide any truthful witness in...

The problem, just like in the other recent thread (here), that must have spawned this one, is that you are telling a story without scriptural evidence. Scripture actually tells us that heaven is “up”. John 3:13 (KJV) And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven...

How does one “descend to the lower, earthly regions”? Isn’t that by burial, similar to how David said in Psalms 139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, [and] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth? Was David curiously wrought in hell? The article made...

Wait. I think I figured it out. I have to go back to formatted text mode first, then hit the preview button.

I used that button before, and it worked. But that was when the reply field was not bbcode mode. I think I even switched to bbcode mode in one of those replies. Now when I start a reply, it starts in bbcode mode, I can’t switch to formatted text mode, and the button to preview doesn’t do anything.

Another request. When I switched to BB code edit mode, now I don’t have a preview option prior to posting. Is that available?

This seems like something that ought to be done regularly by the court—to clean up old and poorly reasoned precedents. The problem will lie in cleaning up the old and well reasoned ones, which a left-leaning court will be wont to do.

That was an interesting and informative article. It confirms my belief that 1. Jesus descent into hell is not in scripture, and 2. That doctrine was appended to the creed at a fairly late date, nor was it mentioned by the early church fathers. It certainly refutes your claim:

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

No heaven yet????
