    The Church At Rome

    My brother, where in my post did I say that it is not important. You asked what does it mean or prove, and I answered that question in my last post. It proved that God's message of love and Truth was meant to reach everyone throughout the entire world and to all generations, not just to the...

    The Church At Rome

    By the way, Jacob, I am a Catholic walking in the "Way". Our Christian brothers like you also belong to the "Body of Christ" despite that you and I may disagree on certain doctrines. The important thing is to be one with our Lord Jesus Christ. May peace be with you. In Christ, Selene

    The Church At Rome

    Hello Jacob, It proves that what St. John wrote in his Gospel is true. St. John wrote that there were some things that Jesus did that were not written down. Just because they were not written down does not mean that it is not important. Everything that our Lord did was important. John...

    The Church At Rome

    The sources are included and placed in bold. St. Cyprian In the middle of the third century St. Cyprian expressly termed the Roman See the Chair of St. Peter, saying that Cornelius has succeeded to "the place of Fabian which is the place of Peter." (Epistle 51:8. 75:3) Hippolytus In the...

    The Church At Rome

    Okay, so he did not meant it as a compliment. But llike our brother Jesus, we are taught to be humble to those who persecute us. :) My brother, you are focusing on one word and taking it out of context. As I said, our proof is already in our lineage. Are you going to tell me that the...

    The Church At Rome

    My brother, there is nothing negative in saying that ONLY the Catholic Church is a soverign nation like Israel. Vatican City is indeed a soverign nation like Israel. However, when you say that Catholics follow a false doctrine, that is a negative critique. My brother, do you honestly...

    The Church At Rome

    My brother, I never even ask you to convert. I was simply defending my Church. As you noticed throughout my post, not once did I ever criticized any other non-Catholic church as being a false church. It has always been YOU who branded the Catholic Church as false despite the fact that we are...

    The Church At Rome

    TexUs, my post showed the other writings other than Lactantius. If you had actually spent time reading the letters of the Early Fathers rather than criticize a fellow Christian Church, you would have known that the word "Catholic" first appeared in 110 A.D. The word was written by Ignatius...

    The Church At Rome

    My brother, that is simply your opinion. But as I said, we are the oldest Christian Church, and we can trace our llineage all the way back to the Apostle Peter in the first century. We believe that we are the Church that Christ built and that the gates of Hell will never prevail over it. Why...

    The Church At Rome

    Hello Jacob, This only goes to show how old the Catholic Church is. The Bible spoke of a "Church in Babylon." The Catholic Church is the oldest Christian Church in Rome, and it is also the only Church that can trace its lineage to the Apostle Peter in the first century. My brother, when...

    The Church At Rome

    What you quoted from the Catholic Encyclopedia does not even say that Tertullian was questioning apostolic succession. What you quoted was Terullian questioning Mary's virginity and that he developed his own doctrine of the Holy Trinity as well as classes of sin. But nowhere does it mention...

    The Church At Rome

    TexUs, my post #10 showed that it was St. Peter who established the Church in Babylon. My posted stated the following, which you ignored: Lactantius, in a treatise called The Death of the Persecutors, written around 318, noted that “When Nero was already reigning (Nero reigned from 54–68)...

    The Church At Rome

    Well, excuse me...I thought you were asking for the information about Clement being ordained by the Apostle Peter since that was in my last post to you. As for the Apostle Peter being the Bishop of Rome, that information was already given in my Post #10. Check my post #10.

    The Church At Rome

    Below is the weblink to the historical document showing that Clement was ordained as a priest by the Apostle Peter in Rome. Because it is a long document, you can find it in Chapter 32, which I quoted for you below. http://mb-soft.com/believe/txv/tertulle.htm Below is a quote from that...

    The Church At Rome

    TexUs, the Pope is the Bishop of Rome. Pope only means "father." Benedict XVI is the Bishop of Rome. If you can believe that Gengis Khan was the ruler of the Mongels despite the fact that Ghengis Khan never wrote a letter, then it stands to reason that Peter was the first Bishop of Rome...

    The Church At Rome

    [/size] My brother, this is what your weblink says: As you can see, even the weblink you provided showed that the "original Church fathers says that the book was written by Peter, and that there is no evidence to disprove this." Furthermore, the weblink you provided even says that the...

    The Church At Rome

    [/size] Really....TexUs. And of course, you can't even provide the weblink to Wikipedia? You are not going to type it simply because it does not exist. That is the truth. My brother, all the historical documents show that the Apostle Peter was the first bishop of Rome. If it was...

    The Church At Rome

    In other words, you can't find it. :P A Christian Church was already established in Rome BEFORE St. Paul went to Rome. When St. Paul wrote his letter to the Romans, he was addressing it to Christians who had already heard the Gospel (See Romans 1:6-7). From his letter, it is obvious that...
