A: They're online.
Then why bring up the language?
spoken like a true soldier of the RCC . Inside of the RCC is not salvation . Its chambers are death my friend .outside the church there is. I salvation no grace no Christ!
1 Pet 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us!
(Ark of Noah a type of the church, member of Christ and his church and salvation by baptism!)
(Outside the ark none were saved, outside the church none are saved)
The church is the ark of salvation!
Spoken like a true solider of the RCC . But many leaders of the protestant realm who have sold their souls and churchesSo increase your faith hope and charity and rejects those fundamentalist rigorist false teachers
Mariology is nothing more than fiction. Peter would have known Mary, but never saw her as anyone other than a fellow believer who was baptised with the Holy Spirit along with the 118 others on the day of Pentecost. It is doubtful that Paul ever met Mary, so he would have had no personal knowledge of her. If she had been anyone more than just another believing woman, both Peter and Paul would have made mention of her as a person to be reverenced.Mary was prepared by God in the first moment of Her being created by the grace of the immaculate conception
Up until Justinian, Rome and Alexandria had no doubts as to the Pope's authority with regards religious matters. Although elsewhere such authority was not accepted. But with Justinian's approval the de facto civil authority that the Pope's enjoyed after Constantine's abandonment of Rome and the resulting vacuum, was made official, and Justinian's Code became the law for European politics for the following 1200 years. The Papacy at that point in time became what is essentially a union of church and state. That is there true Catholic church. The woman, the church, riding the beast, the state. The church holding the time, the state giving is support through arms and legislation. That has been the Catholic papal way, and remains such to this day. Although as you and I know, there was that break in 1798 to 1929.Soooooo, Justinian was recognizing and reiterating the Authority of the Papacy.
This DOESN'T mean that HE is the one who "created" that Authority.
Not ONLY do we see Pope Victor in the SECOND century giving a supreme ruling on the Quartodecimen controversy - we have the Pope (Callistus 1) already being called the "Pontifex Maximus" and "Bishop of Bishops" in Tertullian's letter, De Pudicitia in the early 3rd century. Justinian's reign took place in the SIXTH century.
You're going to HAVE to do better than that . . .
And so you reveal your own deceit. Yes, the code was written earlier, but as far as Rome and the Pope was concerned, was as useless as a roll of toilet paper for having authority so long as the Goths were in military control of Rome. That changed in 538 when Belisarius, under orders from Justinian and at the request of the Pope, defeated the Goths. This began the true period of papal autonomy. Interrupted for a short time later by those same Goths, but again, pagan armies came to the Pope's aid and defeated them once and for all. The third of the 3 horns defeated and wiped off the map under the Pope's demands. The little horn had risen.Of interest to note from above is that there were in actual fact two Codes of Justinian: the first one was in force from 529 to 534, and the second one from 534 onwards. This is a useful fact when confronted with the anti-Catholic allegation that the Justinian code only came into effect in 538. In actual fact, the first Justinian Code was already being taken out of effect in 534. Yet the anti-Catholic sects say it only came into effect in 538.
I and sure you would have some evidence to support this right? Evidence from non Catholic historical sources?Belisarius took Rome in December 536, not 538.
A church was most certainly founded upon the apostles. That it was your church, the one now headquartered in Rome, is untenable.the church was founded by Christ alone on Peter and the apostles according to scripture Matt 16:18
Because you did.
Jesus is not God.
One way we know this is only God is referred to as the LORD. While there are many lords in the Bible, no lord is called God. Other languages make the same point. Only by pretending YWH and Yeshua are synonyms is the false doctrine supported. The proof text is there for all to see and read.
1 The LORD said to my Lord,[a]
“Sit in the place of honor at my right hand
until I humble your enemies,
making them a footstool under your feet.”
Psalm 110:1

By their fruits ye shall know them. One brief glance at the history of the Roman church readily informs one whether it be Christian or pagan. The details have been discussed on this forum and other forums repeatedly. You justify the pagan tenets of Catholic Canon law through tradition. Thus you throw aside the authority of scripture. That's fine, do what you like. But your religion is still pagan regardless. And the Pope's declarations and statements regarding climate change reveal this... Even shout this from the world's rooftops. Gaia is now the god of Rome. Come out of her.A claim made without evidence therefore just an opinion
WRONG.
God Himself foretells how the seed of the woman will crush the head of the serpent:
Gen. 3:15
And I will put enmity between thee and the WOMAN, and between thy seed and HER SEED; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Study your Bible . . .
Jesus is the BIOLOGICAL son of Mary.
What? Isn't what I have written precisely that which you said yourself? That the Goths were defeated in 538? Here is an excerpt from an Adventist author from late 19th century, and his account reflects precisely the wiki account you referenced.A claim made without evidence therefore just an opinion.
In your signature you quote Mk 12:29
Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord [kurios] our God[theos], the Lord [kurios] is one;
Now what does Thomas say to Jesus in John 20:28?

Belisarius entered Rome on December 10, 536. But this was not an end of the struggle, for the Goths rallied their forces and resolved to dispute his possession of the city by a regular siege, which they began in March, 537. Belisarius feared despair and treachery on the part of the people. Several senators, and Pope Silverius, on proof or suspicion of treason, were sent into exile. The emperor commanded the clergy to elect a new bishop. After solemnly invoking the Holy Ghost they elected the deacon Vigilius, who, by a bribe of two hundred pounds of gold, had purchased the honor. [32] The whole nation of the Ostrogoths had been assembled for the siege of Rome, but success did not attend their efforts. Their hosts melted away in frequent and bloody combats under the city walls, and the year and nine days during which the siege lasted, witnessed almost the entire destruction of the nation. In the month of March, 538, dangers beginning to threaten them from other quarters, they raised the siege, burned their tents, and retired in tumult and confusion from the city, with numbers scarcely sufficient to preserve their existence as a nation or their identity as a people.
