Bismillah: Assalamo Alikum.
Welcome back Shamms and nice to see you here again… I hope you were not posting because of me :P :P :P
Here is a quick question: you said:
Quote:If one does not believe in the crucifixion and bodily resurrection of Christ (<b>which was foretold would happen in the Old Testament</b> and was recorded in the New, then according to Christ they are condemned already. But see, that is the problem with Catholics, quick to tell you what the Pope says but slow to tell you what thus saith the Lord.
The Bible says:
Luke 24
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, <b>which were written in the law of Moses, and
in the prophets, and
in the psalms, concerning me. </b>
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
Where it was exactly written in the Law of Moses, Psalms and
in the Prophets' writings that <b>Jesus will be raised from the dead on the third day?</b>
Please pay attention to the emphasizes in <b>bold</b>, big letters and red color
.
By the way, I do agree with you that Catholics quote the Pope or traditional writings more/instead of Biblical references.
Salam
Wael.
