If you look at it logically, yes it is. However, there is no absolute truth that can be known with the mind since the mind is finite. It's unknowable with the intellect. The purpose of saying that there is no absolute truth is for the mind to come to an end. Only when you give up trying to know or understand, do you come to know and what you come to know is that you know nothing.

There's facts and there's truths but there is no absolute, end all be all truth. We all know how relative morality is and the people who insist that morality isn't relative are really just afraid of acknowledging that it's relative. I'm a postmodernist mystic.

I don't know why people don't have the courage to admit that they just don't know anything. It's as if people like the comfort of clinging onto something instead of just being free. My religion is no religion. Beliefs are just chains and it doesn't matter how beautiful the chains look, they're still chains.

you’re well named!

without God and His revealed truth and morals you are just an animal!

Every cult makes the same claim, "We are the One True Church"...

1 Corinthians 3:3-7 (NASB) for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men? For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," (insert Peter) are you not mere men? What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.

does that mean there is no such thing as the one true church?

who has the keys? The prime minister holds the keys of jurisdictional authority under the king and over the administers!

Christ is king!
Peter and his successors are prime ministers!
The apostles are the administrators of the kingdom!

A kingdom by nature is authoritative!

31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: (plural Peter and his successors)
32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

why does it need to be in the Bible to be true?

the Bible alone is not the rule of faith or source of truth!
Christ and His church are!

Truth must be revealed by God, and in its fullness in the sacred deposit of faith by Christ to his church! Eph 4:5 Jude 1:3 and must be taught by the church, or proposed for our belief by the apostles!
Matt 28:19-20 Lk 1:4 Jn 20:21 acts 8:31 Rom 1:5 col 2:7 1 Tim 3:15
matt 18:17

Christ and His church are one! acts 9:4 Acts 5:32 Jn 15:1-5

Truth must be revealed by God thru Christ to His church (the apostles Jude 1:3) then must be proposed by the church, (Matt 28:19 gal 3:23) without error by the Holy Spirit! (Jn 16:13)

The evidence of true faith is humble subjection and obedience to Christ & His holy church!

The rule of faith for Christians is Jesus Christ Jn 14:6 and His church! Matt 18:17 acts 2:42 1 Tim 3:15

True Christians cannot listen to the errors of excommunicated heretics, but we listen faithfully to Christ, in the bosom of holy mother church, the only ark of salvation!
1 pet 3:20-21 matt 18:17 matt 16:18-19 matt 28:19-20 Jn 16:13 Jn 20:21-23

Truth must be revealed by God thru Christ to His church (the apostles Jude 1:3) then must be proposed by the church, (Matt 28:19 gal 3:23) without error by the Holy Spirit! (Jn 16:13)

Christ and His church are one! (Acts 9:4 eph 5:31 Jn 15:1-5)

Rejection of the one true church or its teaching is rejection of Christ and God!

Sola scriptura! Once you go beyond the Bible, as the Catholic denomination does over and over and over, inventing all kinds of unScriptural baloney, you have clearly lost sight of the truth.

The Catholic denomination is not "His church". Show me where it actually says that in Scripture. No interpretation! Where does it say "Catholic" in the Bible?

Wana bet?

read Matt 23 and Christ demands their authority to be obeyed!

Again, I will clearly state that there was no parliamentary government in New Testament times.

Parliamentary government: a system of government having the real executive power vested in a cabinet composed of members of the legislature who are individually and collectively responsible to the legislature.

Sure, let's bet on it. How much?

christ and his church are one acts 9:4 and teach the same doctrine

no not Bible alone! There is no Bible! The original manuscripts are lost!

And scripture give all authority to the church baptism f the apostles to teach all men! Matt 16:18 & 28:19 without error Jn 16:13

peter Matt 16:18 and the apostles Matt 18:18

No king administers his own kingdom!

even pharaoh had Joseph administering his kingdom!
And even his brothers had to obey him!

Christ gives the kingdom over to Peter and the apostles to govern

Same authority as the successors of Moses and Christ commands obedience!

Prophecy of the new covenant church fulfilled in the apostolic union with Christ!

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

1 Peter 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

Gal 4: 22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.

24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.

25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

(Holy mother church)






Christ is the king!

Isa. 9:6-7 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Lk 2:10-11 all people!

Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Biblical Example Joseph under pharaoh administers the kingdom and his brothers obeyed and submitted to him.

Christ is king and a king must rule the hearts and minds of his subjects!

All are subject to christ! Matt 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power (authority) is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

1 cor 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

The proof of true faith is humble subjection and obedience to Christ and His church!

Christ and His church are one! Acts 9:4 eph 5:32

Clearly you have no idea what a parliamentary government is.

Here is a very good definition: Parliamentary government is a democratic form of government in which the political party that wins the most seats in the legislature or parliament during the federal election forms the government. This majority party chooses a leader to be the Prime Minister or Chancellor, and other high-ranking members of the party make up the cabinet. The minority party forms the opposition, and its job is to challenge the majority party. If no party is able to win a majority in the election, a coalition government will be formed with a few political parties cooperating together.

It's called 'parliamentary government' because all of the power is vested in the parliament. In a presidential system like the United States, the executive branch is separate, and the president is popularly elected by the citizens of the nation. In a parliamentary system, the head of the government is chosen from the parliament, and is often one of the most senior members or ministers in parliament, which is where we get the term 'Prime Minister.' Often in a parliamentary system, the country will have a Head of State, who is a ceremonial figure like the Queen, but does not engage in legislating or politics.

Why are you so deluded?

Clearly you have no idea what a parliamentary government is.

Here is a very good definition: Parliamentary government is a democratic form of government in which the political party that wins the most seats in the legislature or parliament during the federal election forms the government. This majority party chooses a leader to be the Prime Minister or Chancellor, and other high-ranking members of the party make up the cabinet. The minority party forms the opposition, and its job is to challenge the majority party. If no party is able to win a majority in the election, a coalition government will be formed with a few political parties cooperating together.

It's called 'parliamentary government' because all of the power is vested in the parliament. In a presidential system like the United States, the executive branch is separate, and the president is popularly elected by the citizens of the nation. In a parliamentary system, the head of the government is chosen from the parliament, and is often one of the most senior members or ministers in parliament, which is where we get the term 'Prime Minister.' Often in a parliamentary system, the country will have a Head of State, who is a ceremonial figure like the Queen, but does not engage in legislating or politics.

Why are you so deluded?

no democracy it’s a kingdom!

All glory to the king!

but obedience to the ministers is obedience to the king!

Apparently it was those with Peter as well…


John 20:22-23 KJV
[22] And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: [23] Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

yep they must be in union with Peter!

All subject to Christ the king!

psst. (just between you and me)...Peter was married...

Luke 4:38 (NASB) Then He got up and left the synagogue, and entered Simon's home. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Him to help her.
