No one is trying to refute Mt 16:18. The issue is, is Jesus the Rock or Peter? Is the Bible lying when it declares in Ps 18:31 that God alone is the Rock? Did Jesus ceased to be God while on earth? Why not practice what you preach. I must have missed it somehow but where in scriptures that...

Is this how you refute those who say your church have a wider authority than that of the Bible by making such remarks as above? I would like to let you in on a secret. I was baptized a Catholic as a baby. I was an altar-boy. I was never given a Bible to read but the catechism until God in His...

If you’ve read all of my posts on this thread you will NOT find that I have pitted the Protestant doctrines against the RCC doctrines! On the get go, what I have tried to convey throughout this OP is why the Catholic church and it’s members know not how to read and understand Scriptures. I mean...

Any and every scriptures you and RCC had to offer in defense of your false doctrines.

Perhaps the phrase, "twisting of Scripture" is a bit harsh. "Misunderstanding of Scripture" would be much more appropriate.

The moment you claimed Peter is the Rock!!!! I must have missed it somehow. Can you refer me to the scriptures where the word “Katholicos” is found? The topic of the OP is, “Was Peter the Rock that the Church was built upon?” I believe, I have answered the question of the OP by supplying with...

The Bible actually speaks of two churches. On the one hand the external corporate local churches of the world and on the other, the invisible/spiritual Church headed by Jesus that I belong to which consists of all believers. Are you now admitting Peter is infallible? What an audacious statement...

Mt 16:19 “And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” The key (pardon the pun) words above are “bind” and “loose.” The correct Greek...

I say this with love and kindness, but many, many peoples of the world do not know how to read or understand the Bible, even those who profess to be Christians. They read and critique scriptures like it is an ordinary instead of a Holy and Spiritual Book thereby making assumptions as their...

You said, “Yet they CAN recognize what is good and they can understand the Gospel message and cry out for God’s mercy in their lost state.” You understood the thrust of Romans 3 to be true yet with the wave of a hand, you have completely dismissed the entire meaning of verse 11. Or, have you...

I used to believe in partial depravity for reasons that man is capable to do “acts of human kindness” (Mark 14:6; 1 Timothy 3:1). Until, with further study, I came across Romans 3:10-13 that reads: 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth...

You are very, very confused my friend. On the one hand you don’t believe the Bible is the word of God yet, on the other, you will quote scripture to suit your purpose. This is a contradiction in terms! The first paragraph of your OP reads: “God promised that He would redeem man back to Himself...

Isaiah 64:6 is dealing with the fundamental principle that we are all sinners. It does not speak of good works. How can we reconcile Isaiah 64:6 or any other scriptures that deals with sin with Mark 14:6 and 1Timothy 3:1 which reads: Mark 14:6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye...

The book of Revelation does not stand alone apart from the Bible although it states the prophecy of "this book". Here is a test. If we take away a verse in the book of Revelation have we taken that verse out of the Bible? Most definitely! If we add a verse to the book of Revelation have we...

I believe in the total depravity of man as concerning the things of God. What about “human kindness?” For example, the work of Mother Theresa and those in relief organizations worldwide who do good work? They must have worked with joy in their hearts. Can we say they are partially depraved...

I apologize for this late response but people get busy this time of year. In a classroom situation, a student is said to be absent if that person is not there. On the other hand, if he is in the classroom, he is said to be present. Likewise, when a Christian dies, he is said to have gone to be...

I believe no Christian will ever fall prey to committing the unpardonable sin in this modern age. Mt 12:31-32: “Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh...

Indeed Paul was talking about death in 2 Corinthians 5:8! Upon death there is a separation between body and soul. When an unsaved person dies both his body and soul go to a place of silence called hell and then he is destroyed (Matthew 10:28; Isaiah 26:14; 66:24), however, when a believer dies...

Good points To God Be The Glory

I know you don’t like for people to repeat things but sometimes it is necessary to make for clarifications. And so again, I repeat, Luke 16:19-31 is a parable. A parable is an earthly story with a heavenly/spiritual meaning, and that makes the whole Bible a parable (Mark 4:12-13), and is also...
