    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I’d like to reflect on a prophecy Ralph gave in 1975 at the International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Conference at the Basilica at St. Peter’s in Rome. He gave it at the closing Mass, after Communion, after a time of worship and quiet: (it meets the requirements listed in the above post)...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Sorry, the Holy Spirit doesn't sanction your dogmatized Catholic bashing. The Bible says the Church is indestructible, it can never fall away, contrary to your fear mongering myths. It doesn't mean there are no sinners in the Church. But it is different. The spoken word of God has the same...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    Please, quote your source that Lactantius made this recognition, or knock off the revisionist slander. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Lactantius https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactantius

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    Among those executed under Valerian were Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, and Sixtus II, Bishop of Rome with his deacons, including Saint Lawrence. Are they on your side too? Two Catholic Jesuit writers, Manuel Lacunza (1731–1801) and Francisco Ribera (1537–1591), proposed the futurist view...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    From your link: Among those executed under Valerian were Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, and Sixtus II, Bishop of Rome with his deacons, including Saint Lawrence. The public examination of Cyprian by the proconsul in Carthage, Galerius Maximus, on 14 September 258 has been preserved:[60]:  Can a...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Demonizing the historic Church with misrepresentations, lies, and twisting history is SDA doctrine. We don't deny some stupid Catholics did some bad things, but your exaggerations, void of context, are absurd. Islam is no better? You are attempting to defend the indefensible. The historic...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    More recent Protestants have been able to back away from the position that early Protestants felt forced to make and have been able to admit that Peter is, indeed, the rock. But the overwhelming evidence presented is automatically rejected by anti-Protestant Bible cults.

    About the "Holy Rosary" prayer

    Simply asserting "false teachers" is not discussion.

    About the "Holy Rosary" prayer

    Nowhere in the Bible does is say all authentic beliefs, practices and devotions must be explicitly spelled out in the Bible. If being in heaven were like being in the next room, then of course these objections would be valid. A mortal, unglorified person in the next room would indeed suffer the...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Except you and your SDA elders. Key in "word of God" in any Bible search engine. It appears 50 times in the NKJV. Almost NOWHERE does it refer to the written word alone. Your definition of "word of God", confined to the written word alone, is not Biblical...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    12. Ωστόσο, εφόσον ο Θεός μιλάει στην Ιερά Γραφή μέσω των ανθρώπων με ανθρώπινο τρόπο, (6) ο ερμηνευτής της Ιερής Γραφής, για να δει ξεκάθαρα τι ήθελε να μας μεταδώσει ο Θεός, θα πρέπει να διερευνήσει προσεκτικά το νόημα που σκόπευαν πραγματικά οι ιεροί συγγραφείς, και αυτό που ήθελε να...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Right. God didn't need men. Or He dictated it word for word just like the Quran. :rolleyes: Or God sent space aliens to deliver the Bible. :rolleyes: Or the Bible fell out of the sky bound in back leather in the KJV. :rolleyes: A non-sequitur fallacy. All Scripture is inspired. Men did not...

    About the "Holy Rosary" prayer

    Matt. 26:44 Jesus prayed a third time in the garden of Gethsemane, saying the exact same words again. It is not the repetition that is the issue. It’s the vanity. God looks into our heart, not solely at our words. Luke 18:13 – the tax collector kept beating his breast and praying “God be...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    It should be obvious by now. It strains credulity to think that God would present St. Peter with such prominence in the Bible, without some meaning and import for later Christian history; in particular, Church government. The papacy is the most plausible (we believe actual) fulfillment of this.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    26. Peter is the first person after Christ to raise the dead (Acts 9:40). 27. Cornelius is told by an angel to seek out Peter for instruction in Christianity (Acts 10:1-6). 28. Peter is the first to receive the Gentiles, after a revelation from God (Acts 10:9-48). 29. Peter instructs the...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Will it make a difference? You are demanding I provide a verse that says, "Peter is the first Pope", or "Peter is leader of the Apostles". There are no such verses, but many indications. The Catholic doctrine of the papacy is biblically based, and is derived from the evident primacy of St...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    What good will that do? You just deny everything. Wikipedia is not a Catholic source, but you will deny that too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_popes

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    His sources are your garden variety anti-Catholic fundamentalist non-denominational Bible cults.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    You can't find in the Bible where Peter takes the role of leader for all the Apostles??? Seriously???
