For the mods, why am i getting the emoji when i type the word run in my comments?

How can the RCC be united to Peter if they ignore his writings in how they run their church, and ignore the teachings of Jesus and rule over the laity (Nicolaitanism) which Jesus preached against?

once again, wrong. Presbyter means Elder among the Christians, those who presided over the assemblies (or churches) The NT uses the term bishop, elders, and presbyters interchangeably. G4245 - presbyteros - Strong's Greek Lexicon (kjv) (blueletterbible.org) if the assumption of the post is...

But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: And...

And it isn't the RCC, or the lutherans or the Calvinists, or the Baptist or the methodist or the orthodox etc. It is the church of the saints, and I am not referring to the "latter day saints", But those who have grown up into Christ, the head, Ephesians 4:11-16

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto...

False, this is the Nicolaitan lie of the RCC.... Read 1 Peter 2:4-10.... The Catholic priesthood are usurpers of the Authority Christ Jesus Gives to all the faithful.

Paul said we all know in part (1 Corinthians 13:9-12).... division is caused by the pride of man, the original sin that says they can be like God and know the full council of God by human intellect alone. Until God's love is perfected in us, and we join in the unity of the Spirit, and have...

My Point is the RCC is not the true church of the saints if it has fallen into apostacy. This is by no means exclusive to the RCC as many protestant sects are in the same apostacy as well, "denying the LORD who saved them" 2 Peter 2:1.... These are all churches of men, yes there are faithful...

We are all sent by God and a royal priesthood 1 Peter 2:9, We are all brothers in Christ, not rabbis and catechumens or priests and laity. (Matthew 23:8) That is the problem with the RCC, it is run by Nicolaitans who place themselves on a podium above the people.

What Exit Photon guy? (Ha, Ha) I was raised in CT. Driven through NJ many times... Welcome to the Forum.

I agree, and the body of Christ has many members.... What bothers me is your defending an apostate institution of man as the one church, when it is not, by your own assessment of the state of the RCC. You see, the saints are distinct from any manmade institution, and the church of the saints...

You say the Catholic church is in apostacy since 1958, What is/ are the main issues that show this to you? Is it a certain doctrine, or set of doctrines that show this apostacy? I am just curious to see what you are thinking. Also if the RCC is in apostacy, why do you proselytize for them...

agreed, a lot of these people are not drug addicts or drunks that are being forced out, but people who are facing hard times due to runaway real estate prices etc. Some places in California and other states have shanty towns forming of homeless people living on the streets. I Believe it was...

Many churches today sweep the destitute under the rug, and ignore them, But Jesus made his home with the destitute. His followers included prostitutes, fishermen, Shepherds, Tax collectors and Publicans, The dregs of society at the time. His enemies and opposition came from the entitled...

I know Lauren Daigle took some heat for going on Ellen Degeneris in the past but this song touched me today and encouraged me.

You made me think of "Escape from Christendom" when you said that, particularly the part called the Harvest. If you have time this is a great read that takes about 15 to 20 minutes and will explain where we are on this journey. Enjoy, and be blessed. Escape from Christendom...

Amen marks, A reminder of His Promise. I Have my plans for my life, He has His will for my life, sometimes the two agree, sometimes they do not, and he has to nudge me in his direction, It just hurts sometimes when your hopes and plans fail. But I have to rest on the fact that he knows what is...

Sometime when I read the Word of God, It reads me, convicts me of my shortcomings, leads me to see how unworthy I am and How Holy God is.... what would you call this? I Call it the Living word of God.... it is not just a book of history and theology, but a book that leads to our transformation...

Thank you @marks and @stunnedbygrace, for the comforting words. He is just teaching me patience the hard way, I guess. Lots of "groaning Prayers" were prayed today. He sent me some comfort, as out of the blue a thunderstorm appeared followed by a full rainbow.... Can't have a rainbow without the...
