What is a Saint?

A saint is something made up by man.

So then you cannot substantiate it?

So then why did you attempt to? You appear to start things that you cannot finish.

Can you ?

Catholicism came up with the concept of Sainthood far before your Evangelical clan have.

You took an idea which already existed, stole it, then re defined it as your own. Catholics have done this as well before your culture has.

Saints have done extraordinary things for other people, and have made great changes.

You DARE compare yourself to any one of the past Saints ? HA ! Such Hubris (like Lucifer had)

St. Joan of Arc, Mother Teresa, St. Jude, St. Micheal...as if you, an internet loser who harasses people and tears down the cultures of others, has ANY RIGHT comparing himself to great people like these. 😆

Wait. Don't people have to do two extraordinary good things in order to qualify for Saints?

I remember reading that somewhere...although I cannot remember where.

The Concept of Saint-hood predates any Christian religion and is kinda of different.

That is my point precisely.

The leaders of the Roman Catholic Church came up with the fallacious doctrine of declaring someone a saint when the Holy Bible (the true source of authority on what constitues a saint) states almost implicitly and inferentially that every born again believer (i.e. every Christian) is a saint.

They ALSO put together the Bible 😬

Kali, you're just standing in the way of God and holiness.

I proclaim fatwa against you. FATWA!

No, they didn't, Saint-Hood had long exsisted prior to the establisment of the church. Furthermore, mordern Christianity was created by the church. There was no Christianity prior to the church, just a couple of cults.

So, I am still a saint based on the Bible. Sainthood is not a behavior as such it is a designation.

What book and what verse?

Click on the first page of this thread and then click on the link to view the abundant references/occurences of the word saint in the New Testament (you do realize the New Testament was written to and for believers don't you? Well I am included in that group).

😄

I clicked on your link and found nothing to substantiate your claim, even from the Bible....

Did you look in the New Testament? The word saint is very common in the New Testament and it is synonymous with the just, the righteous. It refers to believers (i.e Christians).

But how do you know its Evangelicals, and not other Christians like Catholics and Orthadox ?

And also how do you know you are just and righteous ?

Catholics are not Christians.

The Bible says so.

How are that Catholics not Christians ? Please prove this 😆

Secondly, why and how are you better than Greek Orthodox ?

The mordern Bible's canon was fashioned by Chatholics for their religion. Mordern Christianity =Catholiscism

So, unless you have the Sinai Bible at home somewhere. . .you fail
Seriously, how can the founders of a religion be wrong about the religion they created?

I tried reading the new testament today, and I got to page 10 before I got bored and started drawing on the pages.
