Why does @theefaith have a ratio of less than 7% when we divide the likes that they have received by the number of posts that they have made, and probably the number of posts actually liked will be even less if we consider that there can be more than one like for a particular post that they have made.
Now I do not have whole hearted support or agreement from the membership of this forum, yet if I divide the number of likes I have received by the number of posts that I have made, I have a ratio of around 33% and if I consider the number of posts that have more than one like, I probably have considerably less posts actual liked by other members.
Is that because of @theefaith's aggressive attacks on anyone who is not a RCC adherent who have disagreed with the thrust of their posts.
I though that within the assembly of Christ's disciples, we are all to be of one mind with only one God that we worship.
I am glad that there is no record kept of peoples' dislikes of what we post.
Oh well,
Shalom
I did not know it was a popularity contest?
I am not attacking and one personally
only false doctrine
jude 1:3 contend for the faith
called to be faithful not successful
But, and I say a big but, that is not what you are doing. Is the RCC the only denomination that has God's truth? Does your rhetoric really draw people into the loving arms of Christ?
Shalom
Just the thing you need to control others huh!.......very convenient.there are no denominations only the one true church founded by Christ on Peter and the apostles
All other are the tradition of men full of error

Authority of the Apostles!
What authority does Christ have?
What power does Christ have?
What mission / ministry does Christ have?
Peter, the apostles and their successors have the same authority, power, and mission! Jn 20:21 as my father sent me, even so send I you!
John 17:18
As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
The apostles are Christ’s successors!
They have authority to send others as well, apostle means one who is sent!
Therefore the apostles have authority to send more apostles or successors!
Apostolic succession!
The nations still need to be taught, disciples still need to be baptized and the church the new covenant kingdom of christ still needs to be governed!
Hebrews 3:1
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Christ is an apostle, and has authority to send other apostles, the apostles also have this authority, so the apostles continue down thru the centuries as Christ promised! Matt 28:19-20
Keys of authority! And power to bind and loose! Matt 16:18 and Matt 18:18 matt 28:19 Isa 22:21-22
