One Holy Catholic/Universal & Apostolic Church???? What Say Ye???
Roman Catholics, Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Baptists, C.O.G.I.C., A.M.E........ All of these believing Churches and more still unnamed are divided and yet in one major way united: they all believer that JESUS CHRIST is Lord of all, and though some have a longer Canon of scripture than others, each believe essentially believe the same 66 books. Each one teaches that we will be a unified Church, but openly preach against each other and consider such unity a myth.......
......a myth that is, until now.....
The Anglicans and the Orthodox Churches are willing to come together and speak about unity with the Church of Rome, with certain issues being addressed such as female Bishops, divorce, and the like. A few years ago, the Joint College of African American Pentecostal Bishops went and worshiped at the Vatican with the Roman Pope. My question to all the leaders here that are willing to step up and speak is this: Many of you are Pentecostal, and some of your Bishops are apart of the J.C.A.A.P.B. council. Many of you are C.O.G.I.C., and I believe Chief Apostle & Presiding Prelate Bishop Charles Blake attend the Vatican Meeting. As Protestants where would you stand with such?
-Would you as a Presiding Prelate be united with the Roman Catholics and the Orthodox Churches?
-If you're the Apostle of your Ministry, where do you stand? would you want the Pope and the Orthodox Bishops to respect you as an equal?
-Is so, what terms would be brought to the table by you, as you would expect they would bring terms?
-What terms would you respect of theirs?
-Why wouldn't you link with them if not?
DON'T PUT UP A FRONT FOR THE OTHERS ON HERE! BE REAL AND STATE WHERE YOU STAND AND WHY, BECAUSE THEY ARE COMING TO BRING YOU ALL TO THE TABLE ON NEGOTIATIONS!

I must say goodnight here. far too late for me.
Hezekiah, It you are seriously interested in how to serve the Lord. Start a new thread. But I doubt this at the moment, as you did not even acknowledge my last post. It is great that the Lord is leading you and teaching you some great things. When your ready to move you on, and you wish to chat about faith we can do.
God Bless

@ Trevor 1 Timothy 4:1-8 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
What Church forbids their Bishops to not marry. What church have you abstain from meats, but you can eat fish?

Are the flaws of Rome my problem? I'm for marriage (in fact, I'm engaged!), I'm for eating meat. I clearly asked if/when Romes comes-a-knockin, what are the issues that you will bring to the table? Those two are good issues to bring to them.

True, but the celibacy issue will be dealt with very shorty, as I explained in my early post. Pray and fasting is an important part of our worship.
The Catholics are hot on fasting!

You want to unite the Catholics and Protestants. You went so far as to call the Catholics Holy. So what's up with that?
-

There's nothing like a liar and a stalker!
When and where did I say or even hint at me uniting the Roman Catholic Church with the Protestants? Where and when did I say that I was for this? When did I call them holy??
So whats up with that?

One Holy Catholic/Universal & Apostolic Church???? What Say Ye???
Is this not the title of this thread? -

Yea, thats the title of the post. Its a question or are you that desperate for something to accuse me of? Technically speaking, the Church is holy and Catholic, but the "Roman Catholic Church" is another subject. The Roman Catholic Church is but one section of Christianity and it needs much work.
(Simple minded kids these days! Hezekiah, go play X-Box or your PS3 while the grown folks talk business.....) -

Thank you Hezekiah, I had a super night.
Ah, James the book of Straw., lol..Sorry, Luther did recant on that one.
To be honest Hezekiah, only the most inhuman, vile, incompassion creature that ever walked on God's green earth would see there brother and sister go hungry.
What about faith though?
As you are playing scriptural tennis. Obedience comes from faith
Rom 1:5
Through Him and for His name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.

Faith in what?
