WRONG. Jesus said: Marr. 16:18 And I tell YOU that YOU are Peter (Kepha), and on this rock (Kepha) I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. “Kepha” is the ONLY Aramaic term for “Rock”. This is why Paul refers to him as “Cephas” ion his let

Jesus gave Peter the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven – just as God gave Eliakim the keys to the House of David (Isa. 22:20-22). It is similar to when Pharoah gave Joseph the keys to his kingdom by giving him (Joseph) full authority over it. This is NOT an unfamiliar theme in Scripture. By the...

"Bishop" is a Biblical term pertaining to an office that is directly-descended from the Apostles. Without that succession, there is NO such thing as a non-Catholic, Non-Orthodox Bishop.

Acts 1:20 “‘Let another take his office.’ The Greek work used here for “office” is “Episkopay” (Bishopric). This isn’t about “replacing” Judas’s Bishopric. It’s about the successive nature of the office of Bishop - not matter how much YOU reject it.

Funny how non-Catholics can believe that God merely spoke anf the entire UNIVERSE leapt into existence - but they don't think He had the ability to give His Apostles the power to forgive sins or turn bread and wine into His Body and Blood. NOT much faith there . . . John 20:21-23 Again Jesus...

If you read Acts 1:20, you would know that the office of Bishop (Apostle) is a successive one. Buy, you obviously don't spend a lot of time actually reading Scripture . . .

Read it again, Einstein . . . Jesus gave His inner circle - the leaders of His Church - the power to forgive or retain sins in His name (John 20:21-23).

WRONG. Jesus told His inner circle - the leaders of His Church- to teach the nations, Baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19-20). Jesus gave His inner circle - the leaders of His Church - the power to forgive or retain sins in His name (John...

OR to give a definition of "faith" . . .

In post #65, I asked a poster to define “faith”. The response in #69 was a refusal to give an answer. Since then, a number of you have danced around the issue or have simply refused to answer it.

Not at all. It’s just an observation- NOT a critique. That’s as incorrect as saying that Christ didn’t instruct a few mortal men to go out to teach and Baptize the world (Matt. 28:19-20).

I don’t think you do. My hope is in Christ – AHD His Church because they are ONE and the same . . . Acts 9:4-5 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute ME?” “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. Saul...

And when someone who claims to be a Christian refuses to discuss matters of faith - 1 Pet. 3:15 couldn't be MORE appropriate.

"Diversion"?? I askjed that question about 20 posts ago. YOU are the one who keeps brining it back up.

Yet, you can't point to a single thing I've said that s incorrect.

That’s quite a confession. You don’t come off as “obnoxious” as much as you do sad and hopeless. If I was as unsure as YOU are of what I believed in about Christ and His Church – U woulkd porobably go through life as an agnostic . . . Funny how certain anti-Catholics are abiuyt the "errors"...

It's not my job to convince you of anything. I'm here to expose lies and the liars that tell them - not to force my beliefs on anyone.

As I have stated ad nauseam - the original question I asked was "Can you define faith?" The fact that you guys are so terrified to attempt a definition speaks VOLUMES about the "hope" that lies within you . . .

No - I'd say you've lost your ability to listen. You have to actually understand what you're listening TO in order to lose your tolerance for it . . . That's a Biblical description - NOT a definition.

You can claim that until you are blue in the face - but you have YET to prove it. MY original challenge was for another poster to define "faith"., When they refused to do so - I quoted 1 Per. 3:15 - which ius the appropriate verse fo the situation. 1 Pet. 3:15 But in your hearts revere Christ...
