What does that mean? You think Jesus only talked personally to Peter? He had personal conversations with lots of individuals. He gave instructions to lots of people. The reason he singled out Peter in this instance is because Peter had betrayed him and needed to be assured that he was still...

Tertullian wrote: “Having taken the bread and given it to His disciples, Jesus made it His own body, by saying, ‘This is My body,’ that is, the symbol of My body. There could not have been a symbol, however, unless there was first a true body. An empty thing or phantom is incapable of a symbol...

Oh, come on! The Catholic doctrine is that the wafer is literally Christs flesh and blood. The Holy Spirit can occupy anything he wants, anytime he wants, but that's not even the issue.

Because he happened to be the one they saw first? What? Paying taxes is uniting himself with Peter? I guess If I help someone with their taxes we are one? Lol, where do you come up with this stuff?

And you have no explanation as to how you can belong to the true church, when your church has many fake priests and members who are not really believers at all...

Go to my church leaders.. I already responded to all this. It doesn't effect the fact of tares in the church at all. I still don't think you have any idea what I'm talking about.

Added to what? Instead of pulling out one verse: "After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?” 25 “Yes, he does,” he replied. When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the...

21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” That was the diciples and...

Crazy wrong and blasphemy! This miracle has nothing to do with your crazy interpretation. This is what happens when people add to the Word with no regard for the actual event that is happening.

By prayer and confessing our sins to him, not to an earthly priest, but to our Savior alone. Then the Spirit " baptizes" us with himself.

This is a good example of what I'm saying actually. It's the person's heart condition, not the wine and bread, that brings him closer or takes him further from to Christ while taking Communion. Seeing the act of Communion as giving us anything by itself is the danger. People who understand it as...

In all those cases, God did the healing, not the hanky or spit or water. Saying laying on hands causes healing is incorrect. God does the healing. The hanky is just a hanky. The oil is just oil. It doesn't have magical power, but God chose to heal those it touched. It's an important distinction...

Yeshua.

Umm..none of that means he's still president. He might be able to do some good this way, though.

Is Egor really your name? Because that's kinda cool and kinda creepy. The rest of what you wrote sounds like a really good fictional movie.

Says the Bible nowhere. Yes Jesus is the mediator, no, you don't enter through sacraments. There's only one mediator. Only one person who is the gate to eternal life. Not through any good that we have done, but only through his sacrifice.

Right, as opposed to salvation by works.

I agree. The church isn't a denomination. And On July 16, 1054, Patriarch of Constantinople Michael Cerularius was excommunicated, starting the “Great Schism” that created the two largest denominations in Christianity—the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox. One of the many religious...

It's using the symbolism of water to show us that God alone saves.

Prayers and fasting and alms, ect do not save a person. Correct, without him they are just empty works. Works done in the Spirit will be rewarded, but they don't do anything to save us. Whose law was the Mosaic law? God's law, but even before Christ came only faith saved. Substituting a new...
