The Eunuch knew enough about Judaism to have the book of Isaiah in his possession. It is quite possible that he was a "God fearer" and may well have been around to hear about John the Baptizer. Therefore he would have known about baptism already, allbeit John's baptism.
I read another story between the lines. "Candace went to Jerusalem to worship." The cart and everything on it belonged to her. Where was she now? Why was the Eunuch on his way back home without Candace? He - so I suppose - while with Candace in Jerusalem, heard this "man" Isaiah wrote about, preached, and decided the Gospel was not for him; and disgusted with the Message, deserted his queen there and then.

I meant wrong you cannot be saved without a priest
Jim jones was a priest, so was the guy in boston that raped all those kids, marquis de sade learned everything he knew from his uncle who was a priest.
I don't think those guys are the way Jesus was talking about.

(so-called reformation)

That’s called rebellion not reformation!
No authority to start new churches Matt 16:18 only Christ has this authority
He is the only mediator!

Where is your outrage on this gross attempt to usurp His authority, the authority of him being the only mediator?????????

Where’s the biblical mandate for a reformation
Christ founded the one true church and it cannot be reformed

divine revelation is from God and is immutable cannot be reformed

it is the truth!

what authority did the so-called reformers have?

They admit that they have no authority themselves for they say the Bible is the only authority!

they have no authority to say that the Bible is the only authority, but in saying it they admit freely that they have no authority, only the apostles have authority!

Keys of authority! And power to bind and loose! Matt 16:18 and Matt 18:18

Moral authority:
(Teaching)
Necessity of being taught by Christ:
Two edge sword: defining truth and condemning errors, and Interpreting scripture.

Jurisdictional authority:
(Governing / administering)
Necessity of Peter and the apostles and their successors to govern the holy church.

Spiritual authority:
(Life of Grace)
Sanctifying thru the mass and Sacraments

To admit belief in the reformation is to admit that the Catholic Church is the one true church of Jesus Christ founded on Peter, the apostles, and their successors!
Matt 16:18 Jn 10:16

Again where is the outrage against these interlopers!




Absolutes

Acts 8 Philip peached the necessity of baptismal regeneration and not Faith alone Christ alone grace alone!

If you accept the reformation, then the Catholic Church must be the new covenant church founded by Christ on Peter and the apostles!

Luther declares the Bible is the only authority: therefore he is no authority and has no authority, even his declaration of the “Bible alone”
is without any authority!

God
Jesus Christ
The Holy Spirit
The one true church founded by Christ
Peter and the apostles and their successors
Have no authority, only the Bible as quoted by luther who declared that he has no authority to declare anything!

Only the Bible!
How do we know what is and what is not scripture? Then how do we know we have an infallible interpretation?


Where is this in the Bible? (NT)

Sunday school?
Camp meeting?
Revival?
Reformation?
Holy communion on 1st Sunday?

Correct brother. All we need is the biblical Lord Jesus. No other name can save us.

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

what priest are you talking about?
Those appointed by Christ

Jesus Christ continues HIS ministry in His new covenant church thru Peter, the apostles, and their successors with the same mission, power, and authority!
Mt 16:18 Mt 28:19 Acts 1:17 acts 8:31 & 35 Lk 10:16 Jn 8:32 Jn 13:20 Jn 15:5 Jn 16:13 Jn 20:21-22 eph 2:20

Lk 10:16
He who hears you hears me...

John 13:20
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

Jn 20:21 as my father sent me, so send in you. (The apostles) same power mission and authority as Christ!

this is incorrect, James was leader of the 1st church.

the apostles,
this i agree

and their successors

and this right here is where you get into trouble because anyone can claim to be a successor. the priest that raped all those kids, i am sure he made this claim.

faith should be in the way of Jesus, putting your faith in mankind will only lead you down a hole. man has been making mistakes since the beginning.

I don't get the difference can you explain?

The Douay Rheims is a Catholic reproduction based on the Latin Vulgate of Jerome's from the 4th century. Jerome's translation was based on two manuscripts that held sway throughout the Catholic Church even to this day. Many scholars credit Eusebius with the manuscripts from which Constantine derived his 50 Bibles. Some current that the Vatican us and Sanaiticus were two of the original 50. Eusebius was a great admirer of Origen, and it is without doubt that Origen's allegorical and philosophical influences had a part to play in introducing error into those Bibles.

100 years before Constantine however the Bible had been disseminated throughout the empire, even as far as Britain, which is the lie to the Catholic contention that they were the first creators of the Bible. How? Through those church scholars who came from Jerusalem at 70 ad, to Antioch,Pella, and beyond and translated the Bible into the itala language of the common people. These are the bibles used by the Waldenses throughout their history, and which brought upon them such persecution by the Roman clergy later years,/centuries.
In that one instant quoted above, the KHV which was derived from the Textus Receptus, the numerous manuscripts that originated from those original Waldensian itala Bibles, you can read and see that it was the seed of the woman, (God speaking to Eve) that would overcome Satan. That seed was Jesus.
In the Douay Rheims it says that the woman herself, as the Catholic Church teaches is Mary, (as seen in above posts by @theefaith ) who overcomes Satan. This is a teaching derived from allegorical interpretations common to Origen's philosophy. The DR was whole derived from the Latin Vulgate which the Catholic Church teaches is the only true Bible.
The above is an example of Catholic duplicity and is of the spirit of Antichrist whereby Christ Himself is replaced and His ministry given to another.

March on IN CHRIST . For soon the whore will deliver the true lambs over unto secular socities . She has killed before and she will again .
I had rather be dead lying in the streets that to let my foot enter into HER CHAMBERS . For the end of her ways is death .
Let us live for JESUS and die for HIM if we must . March on my friend . march on .

no a priest is only a helper of a bishop
Bishops are successors of the apostles

and the seminaries were infiltrated starting in the 30
