    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Not sure where you get your information – but “History”, it ain’t . . . At NO time did the Catholic Church “break off”. Being the Original Tree of Christianity, it could HARDLY break off from itself. Historically-speaking – the Early Christian Church was being called “The Catholic Church” by...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    That's an asinine statement. NONE of your Protestant Fathers ever made such a claim. It was the Catholic Church that gave us the Canon of the New Testament (383 AD). EVERY basic tenet of Christianity was introduced to the WORLD through the Catholic Church. The Triune Godhead, Salvation by...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    WRONG. It came from Scripture . . . (Gen. 1:26, Matt. 28:19, John 15:26, 1 Cor. 12:4-6, 2 Cor. 13:14, 1 John 5:7, Eph. 4:6, Psalm 68:5, Mal. 2:10, Isa. 63:16, 2 Cor. 1:3-4, John 3:16, John 8:41, 1 Thess. 3:13, Isa. 7:14, Isa. 9:6, John 1:1, John 1:3, John 8:58, John 10:30, John 15:9, John 20:28...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Not true, Einstein. Peter's successor was Lonus (67-76) Can you show me where the BIBLE says this? Chapter and Verse, please . . .

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Nope. To pick a successor for Judas's office (Acts 1:20). Don't you have access to a Bible?

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    And you're a liar. YOU listed them as mere "descriptions"" of the "ONE" title you claimed he had: "... the pope’s official title is: “Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ" Get over yourself . . .

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    And Jesus ALREADY addressed this in verse 17 - so WHY would He repeat Himself in verse 18, Einstein? In verse 17, Jesus blesses Peter for relaying a truth that the Father revealed. In verse 18, Jesus blesses him a 2md time by telling him that because of this, He will build His Church on him...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    ALL of the Apostles had successors to their offices. In Acts 1, the Apostles and inner circle gathered to choose a successor for Judas. Peter, quoting the Psalms, said: "Let another take his office" (Acts 1:20). The Greek word for "office" used here is "Episkopay" (Bishopric). A Bishopric is...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    And it's utter ignorance to not understand that a guy named "Simon" was called "Rock" (Kepha, Peter) for the rest of his life because Jesus changed his name. Jesus told him "... you are ROCK (Kepha) and on this ROCK (Kepha) I will build my Church" (Matt. 16:18).

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Can you show me where the BIBLE makes this claim? When did Jesus give this power to the crowds? Chapter and Verse, please . . .

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    There are EIGHT (8) official titles attributed to the Pope: - Bishop of Rome (Episcopus Romanus) - Vicar of Jesus Christ (Vicarius Iesu Christi) - Successor of the Prince of the Apostles (Successor principis apostolorum) - Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church (Summus Pontifex Ecclesiae...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    WOW - talk about your whoppers . . . It’s always interesting to hear how Protestant traditions are born. Now, it’s time for a History Lesson . . . First of all – Jesus and the Apostles studied from the 46-Book Old Testament. This is evident from the almost 200 New Testament references to the 7...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Is that what you're going to tell God when He asks you why you rejected His Word?

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    No thanks. I only study from the complete, 72-Book Bible that was compiled and declared by the Church in 382 AD. Do you know WHY your Bible is thinner? I'll bet you don't . . .

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    That's not true. Manu of us have read your incomplete, 66-Book Protestant Bible. I have an NIV and a KJV at home that I use for cross-referencing and debating

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    And that's why the Pope's official title is, "The Servant of the Servants of God."

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    So, the Catholic Church persecuted ITSELF?? Please show me the historical evidence for this.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Hierarchy in the Church was established by Jesus and the Apostles. 1 Thess. 5:12 We ask you, brothers, to respect those who are laboring among you and who are OVER YOU in the Lord and who admonish you, 1 Tim. 5:17 Let the elders that RULE WELL be counted worthy of DOUBLE HONOUR, especially...

    Was Bible Possession banned by the Catholic Church

    You know what Satan REALLY loves? False doctrines like Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide. It has separated Protestantism into tends of thousands of disjointed and perpetually splintering factions because you ALL interpret Scripture differently. Some pf you believe in baptismal regeneration, while...
