    POPE'S OFFICE IN THE BIBLE

    I don't know what bible you are reading. John 20 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are...

    POPE'S OFFICE IN THE BIBLE

    "Allegedly Pope Liberius not only held to an incorrect view of Jesus, but actually endorsed this by signing onto a heretical creed." The fourth century was a hard time for the Catholic Church. Despite all hopes of orthodox Catholics, the Arian movement was growing, especially when Emperor...

    POPE'S OFFICE IN THE BIBLE

    It proves you are a revisionist. New re/discoveries take time to be verified by contemporary "peers", and so far no "reputable historian" has disagreed with ours. That's because your " re/discoveries" are falsehoods. Real historians don't jeopardize their reputation verifying absurd fantasies.

    POPE'S OFFICE IN THE BIBLE

    POPE'S OFFICE IN THE BOOK OF ACTS St. Peter is quite obviously the visible head of the Church in Acts. When you consider the inspired author of Acts was St. Luke, a companion of St. Paul, it is quite telling that for the first 15 of 28 chapters, Peter is the center of attention rather than...

    POPE'S OFFICE IN THE BIBLE

    Are you saying Jesus has no authority to appoint subordinate mediators? The Sacrament of Reconciliation is totally biblical, and has nothing to do with 1 Tim. 2:5, which does not trump "alter Christus". Your spiritual ancestors abolished the sacrificial NT priesthood which may be why you don't...

    POPE'S OFFICE IN THE BIBLE

    I challenge you to find a single reputable historian, Christian or secular, that agrees with your absurd fantasies.

    Why I Had To Apostatize

    Sorry, but you haven't a clue what Sacred Tradition is. Tradition was as important to the Jews as the written word but you don't misrepresent them. Before the canon of the Bible, the Christian Rule of Faith (TRADITION) included belief in the Apostolic succession through the Episcopate, the...

    POPE'S OFFICE IN THE BIBLE

    50 New Testament Proofs for Petrine Primacy and the Papacy The Catholic doctrine of the papacy is biblically based, and is derived from the evident primacy of St. Peter among the apostles. Like all Christian doctrines, it has undergone development through the centuries, but it hasn't departed...

    POPE'S OFFICE IN THE BIBLE

    That's a good idea. To be fair, we can list all the people killed in the name of Protestantism. It amounts to a rock throwing contest that goes nowhere. The Protestant Inquisition: "Reformation" Intolerance and Persecution The OP is The Pope's Office in the Bible. So far, no one has accused...

    POPE'S OFFICE IN THE BIBLE

    Emperors had temporal, civil jurisdiction, Popes had religious jurisdiction. Sometimes there was an overlap, I.e. the Arians were causing civil problems that needed a religious solution, hence the Council of Nicae of 325. Some emperors were not all friendly to the pope. A historical parallel...

    ANALYSIS OF MATTHEW 24:12-13 - WHY IT DISPROVES OSAS

    I could be wrong but it looks like John Calvin's "Total Depravity" theory. Did you know he taught infant baptism? It's in his Institutes Salvation, Justification, and "Faith Alone" (Index Page for Dave Armstrong)

    POPE'S OFFICE IN THE BIBLE

    I'll take 3 samples from your list. Pope St. Clement I (mentioned in Scripture) was probably killed by the emperor Domitian, one of the worst persecutors in the early Church. He most likely knew Timothy. Nerva was another pagan Roman emperor. According to Tertullian, writing c. 199, the...

    Fifteen Scripture-players in the game of rugby

    The rules were changed in 1517 that there would be no more referees. The players of both teams would all be given whistles and striped shirts. Needless to say, the game wasn't very entertaining with the players standing with their mouths gaping open. Sola whistola!

    Hey brakelite, is this movie one of your favorites? “PHILOMENA” SMEARS CATHOLICISM Bill Donohue comments on a movie that has been nominated for four Oscars: Owing to many false impressions about Catholicism that have been generated by the movie, “Philomena,” I decided to write an extensive...
