ECT WHO IS THE HEAD OF THE EKKLESIA TODAY ??

[Right Divider]

Uh... except for the multiple points at which Scripture quotes or alludes to various "outside sources." Then it would perhaps be nice to have some idea what is being talked about.

Instead of "hinting" at what you're talking about, why don't you actually point directly to it?

 

[Danoh]

Now go ahead and cite the biblical text which states that "Only words that appear explicitly in the Bible may be used by Christians to define and describe their beliefs." Chapter and verse, please.

Isaiah 8:20; 2 Tim. 3:16-17, for starters, but you know you are looking to hold on to what you have long since concluded.

 

[Cruciform]

Isaiah 8:20; 2 Tim. 3:16-17, for starters, but you know you are looking to hold on to what you have long since concluded.

Of course, neither of these selected texts in any way states that "Only words that appear explicitly in the Bible may be used by Christians to define and describe their beliefs." Try again?

 

[Cruciform]

We have all scripture which throughly furnishes us (2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJV). There's no need for an outside source.

Of course, even Scripture itself teaches otherwise.

I'm not hinting at anything. I'm saying that the Bible regularly makes quotes and allusions to other books. So, no, it is not all-inclusive or self-containing.

Are you asking for examples? Here's a partial list, to which I could add considerably.

There was no content.

 

[Cruciform]

sure.

So no actual refutation whatsoever. That's what I thought.

The cited source is the content.

You don't have a foot to stand on except for what your links say.

Ephesians 5:23 New King James Version (NKJV)

23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.

 

[Cruciform]

You don't have a foot to stand on except for what your links say.

...according to the entirely non-authoritative opinions of your chosen recently-invented, man-made non-Catholic sect, anyway. :yawn:

Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.

No disproof whatsoever, since no one here has denied that Jesus is the Head of his Church. Try again.

:ha: Then who is this Pope that you worship. Is he not the head of your church?

 

[Cruciform]

Catholics in no way "worship" the Pope. Try again.

Is he not the head of your church?

In a very different sense than the Headship of Jesus, yes.

So who is the Head? Jesus or the Pope.

Yes, and your cited source is garbage per your usual RCC propaganda.

 

[Cruciform]

So who is the Head? Jesus or the Pope.

Both, in different senses. Jesus is the ultimate heavenly Head of his Church who has appointed the successors of Peter to serve as the earthly pastoral head of the Church. [source]

...according to the entirely non-authoritative opinions of your preferred recently-invented, man-made non-Catholic sect, anyway. :yawn:

No doubt you much prefer your usual non-Catholic sectarian propaganda.
