Scriptural Authority 11

Catholic Church

"If the early Church was sound in regarding the baptism of infants as scriptural, it was equally sound in naming Mary the Mother of God. If the monarchial episcopate is a legitimate elaboration of New Testament faith, so are the seven sacraments." Reference 12

Scriptures

And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. ~Acts 8:36-37

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: ~Psalm 106:48

Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else. ~Deuteronomy 4:39

Comments

The early Church was not sound in regarding the baptism of infants as scriptural -- it is not scriptural to baptize an infant. It is scriptural to baptize a beliver after he has professed faith in Christ. It is equally not sound in naming Mary as the Mother of God. God does not have a mother; God is from everlasting to everlasting; Mary was a created being. Furthermore, the monarchial episcopate of the Catholic Church is not a legitimate elaboration of New Testament faith, neither are the seven sacraments. Gods Word is sound. Gods Word is legitimate.
