False. Nobody 'understands' what you're talking about here. Not just me. Wherever there are mouths and ears, especially when the mouths in this case are in the Apostles' heads, and the ears are in the heads of the men they made bishops. Sure. Plain. Paul wrote about oral traditions that...

Duh what? There's oral tradition in every culture. "My kind"?

Excellent, agreed.

Tons of things exist 'outside scripture', and so what. Show me chapter and verse where if it's not explicit in the Bible then we shouldn't believe it. It's not in there.

We're not 'blasphemers', the opposite is closer to the truth. You guys are the blasphemers, if anybody is. Nobody worships Mary because nobody offers sacrifices to Mary, plain and simple. We offer sacrifices to the Father and to Him alone, that's what the Eucharist is.

The virus is driving it. I haven't had a cold since before the pandemic, I mask up in every store, avoid eating in restaurants, and keep six feet away from everyone who lives outside my home when not masked. Agreed!

Which "body"? Which "promise"?

Acts 13:50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts. 51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them Here, Paul follows Christ's teaching in the...

Why doesn't Bob teach against masturbation?

Nobody 'worships' Mary Leatherneck.

iow a 'drive by' post you weren't prepared to defend.

Bye.

Ephesians 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: "Of the same body" as whom? What is "His promise"?

Nothing is "immune from corruption", and I never suggested otherwise. What I challenged you to show is that political situations where they do not practice the liberal institution of separation of powers are less corrupt than ones that do. You cannot do that, because it is not true. In...

What do you mean by saying that each separate branch is "supposed to be self-regulating", when the separation of powers is all about each branch regulating the others, through checks and balances?

That would be germane if any Apostolic tradition actually made the Word of God "of none effect"! In fact it corroborates the written Word.

1. Not when it's Apostolic oral tradition. That's most valuable! 2. The four Gospels were Apostolic oral tradition before they were written down!
