He does not say he's quoting from 1 Enoch. You are reading something into the text that's not there which is eisegesis.

Ok. Let’s check it out.

Here’s Jude:
quote:

14It was also about these that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones,
15to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.


Here’s 1 Enoch, Book of Watchers, Chapter 1 Verse 9:
quote:

9 And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones to execute judgement upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.


It’s not a word for word quote. We don’t even know if the version of 1 Enoch that Jude has was the exact same version or even in the same language. After all, 1 Enoch was found in Gaez, Aramaic, Syrian, Hebrew, Greek, and Latin all over the eastern Mediterranean. Every modern scholar acknowledges that Jude was quoting 1 Enoch.

Jude said Enoch prophesied, which means divinely inspired. Jude would never met Enoch (no one did, he was ahistorical) but Jude believed what came from Enoch was divinely inspired, and since he never spoke with Enoch, all he would have had was what was believed to be what was recorded about what Enoch said, as in a written record.

You’re not even trying to read the text or even being sensible. Jude wrote that Enoch said, “…”. Do you understand what it means to quote something or someone? Frankly you’re being obtuse.

Historically false. Do you know why he was excommunicated?

I’m not responding to the rest of your crap. You have your head squarely up your arse.

That Marcion made the first canon and the first bible is not even debated based on the available evidence. Even jackasses like FooLaneCraig probably admit this. The orthodox/catholic church responded to Marcion, who they viewed as a heretic, by crafting their own canon and bible but used Marcion’s as a starting point.

What do you base that on?
Given that he didn't chop his arm off and say eat/drink this, it should be pretty self evident

Is Patristic support the final arbiter of Holy Scripture?
No, but it does show the dearth of substantiation from antiquity. Catholics don't even have the lowest hanging fruit on this matter, and pretty much every matter, FTR

quote:

I provided the support of Holy Scripture. You reject it out of hand
No you didn't. You read into the text and I rejected it because it makes no sense. If the elements were his actual body, why would he need the elements at all? He could have just performed a miracle with his body

quote:

I exhibited the Scriptural witness the RCC uses to support “The Real Presence” in response to a post that said they had neither Jesus’s words nor Apostolic words supporting any RCC doctrine
Why didn't any of the Apostles or Patristics agree with the transubstantiation view? There's little to no evidence they thought the elements were the actual body. Again, Catholics have no biblical justification and no clear support from the Apostles or the Patristics. Why would anyone put any stock into something that doesn't have clear, unequivocal support straight from Jesus or his disciples? Because it's about emotional attachment to the man made institution, not theological or historical objectivity

Ugh. Jesus' followers, the eyewitnesses, did not believe it was a parable and perpetuated his teaching as if it were real history.

here you use the consensus of theologians and pastors
There’s a chasm of a difference between Dan M appealing to an academic consensus on a YouTube short without providing the names of the scholars who disagree with that view, thus undermining his assertion, and acknowledging the witness of pretty much every theologian since the time of Jesus, with the exception of some later, misguided Catholics

quote:

the “sola fide” people just outright ignore and reject the plain meaning of what they claim to believe as Jesus’ own words when Jesus rejects “faith alone”
All of this is patently, completely false and based on juvenile, emotional misunderstanding of basically the entire NT

As a RESULT of transformation.

What passage are you referring to?

Yes. Meaning their keeping of the regulations, like Catholics do, is not what makes them righteous or confers special grace upon them

quote:

Paul’s teachings… a guy who never even met the historical Jesus (well, no one has
There is evidence that Jesus existed and there is not evidence that he didn't. Where are the eyewitness accounts from antiquity that contradict the biblical eyewitness testimony? It doesn't exist. Your whole belief is based on a lie.

quote:

He added “alone” (in German of course) to Romans 3:28
He didn't add anything. It's all over the NT

False

quote:

quote:

What passage are you referring to?

Sermon on the Mount, Matthew chapter 5. You should read it.

quote:

quote:

one must be more righteous than the Pharisees to be saved.
Yes. Meaning their keeping of the regulations, like Catholics do, is not what makes them righteous or confers special grace upon them

You’re not understanding anything. Read Matthew chapter 5. The previous sentence to being more righteous than the Pharisees is him telling his followers for anyone relaxing any regulation of the Law - the Torah - will be least in his kingdom. Catholics eat pork and shrimp and don’t keep the sabbath and so on. Catholics aren’t following the Law as Jesus says to do in Matthew.

quote:

There is evidence that Jesus existed and there is not evidence that he didn't.

The evidence is stronger Jesus didn’t exist, and the evidence shows Jews were worshipping a heavenly Jesus figure, who they called Kyrios (Lord) or the Logos and Melchizedek (depending on Greek or Hebrew speaking communities) as early as the first century BCE.

quote:

Where are the eyewitness accounts from antiquity that contradict the biblical eyewitness testimony? It doesn't exist.

I forgot you believe all claims of eyewitness accounts, which is why you believe Muhammad had visions of God or Gabriel and that Joseph Smith had visions of Moroni. You are gullible.

I hope you are never a member of 12 jurors of your peers.

quote:

quote:

He added “alone” (in German of course) to Romans 3:28
He didn't add anything. It's all over the NT

He did. This is easily verifiable by anyone and it is acknowledged by Martin Luther because he defended his addition. Take some time, actually look some of this stuff because you look worse than a fool.

ETA: this is what Martin Luther wrote about his addition of “alone”.
quote:

Wenn nun dein Papist daherläuft und schreit: Du, Martinus, sagst: allein! Ist es doch das Wort nicht in Paulus geschrieben usw.,
so antworte ihm kurz:
Doctor Martinus will’s so haben; und spricht: Papist und Esel sind einerlei.

quote:

If now your papist comes running and shouts: 'You, Martin, say: alone! But the word is not written in Paul, etc.',
then answer him briefly:
Dr. Martin wants it that way; and says: papist and donkey are the same thing.


So quit talking out of your arse. You are alleging things false that are easily verifiable and agreed on by both religious nuts and atheists.

No such thing. Show me the quote from Jesus

Where is the substantiation for this? Quotes from them about pedobaptism or the Magisterium or Apostolic succession or indulgences or anything distinctively Catholic

Im done with this thread
So 1 Catholic defender quits without providing quotes from Jesus. But then continues to be Catholic. Just as I thought. It's emotional not objective
