shnarkle, on 16 Feb 2017 - 01:52 AM, said: Now we've heard it all. What Christ says about himself isn't about him at all, but Peter? Yeah, that's it. That's really what this logic leads to ultimately. Peter is Christ. Peter's confession that Jesus is the Christ isn't exclusive to Christ at...

The concept is faulty when you ignore development of doctrine. Terms like "accidents", what you see, and "substance", what is there, are not chasing after Aristotelian philosophy. Platonism and Aristotelianism has permeated the early church's quest to understand the revelation of God in sacred...

I am not talking about the Resurrection, The Resurrection is not a sacrifice. I am saying the Passover/seder and the Crucifixion is one and the same sacrifice. How many cups of wine in your average Passover/seder meal? 4. When did Jesus drink the 1st cup? At the beginning of the Passover/seder...

Quote me where I elevated Peter's status above Jesus, or stop making things up.

Andrew identified Jesus as the Messiah, but is says nothing about a divine revelation. It could have been by deductive reasoning. Jesus did not change Andrew's name. When Jesus asked, "Who do you say I AM?" What did Andrew say? You are mixing different time frames and different callings to...

Sorry. It was a question, not a ploy. But very relevant to Peter's role that seems to get denied at every turn. It's simply a different perspective. Luke 22:31 ‘Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has demanded[e] to sift all of you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you that your own faith may not...

Matt. 16:19 - for Jesus to give Peter and the apostles, mere human beings, the authority to bind in heaven what they bound on earth requires infallibility. This is a gift of the Holy Spirit and has nothing to do with the holiness of the person operating under the gift. John 11:51-52 - some...

Objection to Sunday worship is an invention of 19th century cults, and has nothing to do with the topic. And you have not answered the question. The Bible actually speaks of two churches. On the one hand the external corporate local churches of the world and on the other, the...

To whom or to what was Jesus referring when He said, “On this rock I will build my Church”? What rock was He talking about? Catholics, noting that the name “Peter” (Greek: Petros) is really just the masculine form of the Greek word for “rock” (petra), say He was referring to Simon son of Jonah...

I wouldn't call it a lie, Mungo. He tried to qualify his objection to the Doctrine of the Communion of Saints with the selling of saint cards because anti-Catholics are more comfortable with blind prejudice and are not interested in what has always been believed. Thus the cheap shot on what is...

This proves you have an opinion based on strict literal-ism on Hebrew poetry that was never intended to be literal. You do violence to Scripture.

Did your teachers separate the Passover/seder from the Crucifixion?

You prove my point. You don't know your Bible and the charge of idolatry is based on ignorance and blind prejudice. You cannot refute my post with any intellectual rigor, just an empty emotional reaction. Objectors to the proper use of religious statuary are following the opinions of John...

Care to cite your "correct" translation that reverses earth and heaven, or did you make that up?

Catholic churches have no idols. The charge is ridiculous. It is right to warn people against the sin of idolatry when they are committing it. But calling Catholics idolaters because they have images of Christ and the saints is based on misunderstanding or ignorance of what the Bible says about...

(Sergiusz Michalski, Reformation and the Visual Arts: The Protestant Image Question in Western and Eastern Europe, New York: Routledge, 1993 , p. 56) Michalski’s book contains many shocking descriptions of the thousands of pathetic acts of Protestant iconoclasm, such as paintings of Mary thrown...

It should. It's loaded with lies, falsehoods, misrepresentations and distortions about what Catholics believe. Such is the religion of the anti-Catholic. Sometimes we miss things in the Bible, though they are right in front of us. Some of our Protestant brethren (mainly Calvinists but some...

This is a gross misquote. W.F. Albright (Protestant) and C.S. Mann “[Peter] is not a name, but an appellation and a play on words. There is no evidence of Peter or Kephas as a name before Christian times….Peter as Rock will be the foundation of the future community. Jesus, not quoting the Old...

OK, so you can't give a date. That's because there never was an apostasy in the historic Church. We have promises from God that would never happen. The Bible repeatedly tells us the Church is infallible and indefectable. You accept parts of the Bible but not all of it. The Holy Spirit guides...
