That justifies murder?

Jesus is my authority. Such a sad thing that you deny his command to us. The church you so love kept the truth from the people and allowed them to die without ever hearing the gospel.

Wycliffe or his followers were called Lollards. The Archbishop of Canterbury, William Courtney, and his bishops filled in the omission by forging an Act of Parliament to deal with heresy. But Parliament spotted the imposture and the House of Commons petitioned the King in 1383 to annul this...

So let the state kill em all, right? It worked before. Anything to keep the common Man from having true biblical knowledge.

A distinction that makes no difference. In 380 AD under the Christian Emperor Theodosius I laid down the rule that only the Catholic Christians could define orthodoxy within the confines of the Roman Empire. It was under his reign that the first heretic was put to death. Pope Innocent III...

Still did not answer my question. If only the apostles were authorized to spread the gospel, then all churches are acting without authority. Not to mention all Christians who spread the good news themselves. He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." Is...

Be nice if you could actually answer my questions once in a while instead of parroting your party line.

So, then I don't have authority to spread the gospel? See, I don't even think we're spreading the same gospel... Your gospel is salvation only comes through the Catholic Church. I believe that's total hogwash. Salvation comes through Christ alone.

That's not the point. I have not been baptized in the only church you say is the true one. Let's say I was baptized by a church that doesn't believe in baptism regeneration. How can that be valid to a Catholic, especially since I don't intend to join a the CC?

No, you don't. Either I have the authority or I don't. You can't have it both ways. Even though Jesus says to Peter, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven,” that...

So, since I have not been baptized in the Catholic Church, I am a heathen to you?

So, I can not share the gospel?

I'm not dodging, just curious. Been awhile since I read much of the early writings. I do know that there were a lot of different doctrines, it was not cut and dried. Also, it's often hard to discern exactly what they meant, because of thier different writing styles. I might go find some more of...

Yes, the church that remains true to him, including people from all tribes and tongues and denominations.

How does that help? They passed the truth on to us. If not, we could not spread the gospel as individuals. So, the keys of the kingdom are God’s gift to his people to state heaven’s verdict on who will and will not enter the kingdom based on their response to the gospel. As such, all who...

Yes, he does...Including through the protestant churches.

Oh so none of the teachings in Matthew 18 are for us, only for the disciples? Ok, then I can ignore the talk about how to deal with sin in the church, because that was only for those 12 people.

How old are you? Because calling a 50 some years old guy "kiddo" is kind of weird unless you're like 90. :)

This same authority is extended to the entire church in Matthew 18:18. Jesus uses the same language of binding and loosing in the context of how the church should handle unrepentant sinners. When the church follows Jesus’ teaching, they can be confident that their actions of binding and loosing...

Says you.
