And your theory is that after the last Apostle died (John) that The Church was no longer guided by the Holy Spirit?

I presume you are being factious........

Since you don't believe in Apostolic Succession you are admitting that YOUR denomination did not succeed from the Apostles. If your denomination did not succeed from the Apostles then you are following a false teacher. That is brave of you to admit that.........

the righteous judgment of God “will render to each one according to his deeds”: If you don't do good deeds, you will be judged accordingly. the sin of the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven

You crack me up. You tell me Catholics practice/believe something we don't practice/believe with no facts to back it up which means it is your opinion. Thank you for your opinion.....everyone has one. I gave you multiple passages from scripture that show you can lose your salvation, and you...

The shroud produces a 3D image when scanned with the VP8 analyzer. No other cloth with an image on it does that. The shroud produces a photographic negative on film. The creator of the shroud would have to have known about the future of film hundreds of years before it was invented. No other...

Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.

Hey we have something in common..........Catholics don't pray to the dead either. Yes, we are saved by God's grace thru faith IF you don't sin and fall from grace, IF you profess with your mouth (Romans 9), IF you are baptized (Mark 16) IF you stand firm until the end (Mark 10), IF you repent...

Hello Jane, The Church are the leaders of Christianity, and those leaders are the successors to the Apostles. It's called Apostolic Succession of which is written about in Scripture and historical Christian writings. The first decision that was made by The Church (the leaders of Christianity)...

If you look back at my response you would see that there were 2 questions: Would you agree that the church is the pillar and foundation of truth? Do you believe that you should adhere to the decisions of the church? Per your request I will narrow that down to a specific question. Scripture says...

Yup, Jesus is the rock. And built upon him were other rocks of The Church; most notably the Apostles. Ancient Christian historical writings from almost 2,000 years ago articulate that. About 1,500 years ago the Protestant Revolution started teaching opposite of that and divided Christianity by...

You didn't answer the question.......None the less, thank you for your time.

YOU believe it is more appropriate to ignore Scripture and NOT go to the church to settle our difference? Hmmmmmmmm......Fascinating. Here is how our debate is going. Everything I have written I have used Scripture (and history and linguistics and context) to refute what you have written. You...

You write a lot of words but never really say anything nor answer a question. I will try again: How can you and I fulfill Matthew 18:17 to settle this disagreement?

Soooo you have made yourself "Rome". YOU are the final arbiter of truth. You reject everyone else's authority. Got it.

Wrong. The NT presents the church as the pillar and foundation of truth. If The Church is the pillar and foundation of truth, it cannot err. Also, Scripture says if we refuse to listen to The Church on their decision we are to be excommunicated. If we repent and accept the decision of The...

Yup, Jesus is one of the corner stones of the foundation. But there are several corners to a foundation. Jesus clearly makes Peter another part of that foundation. Did He specifically name anyone else as a part of the foundation? No, He didn't. So clearly, He is naming Peter, and Peter alone, as...

Hey CTK! It's time for a study in linguistics, context, clear evidence of Peter's leadership among the Apostles and Christian History! You ready? :gd The name Cephas is an anglicized form of the Aramaic Kepha, which means simply “rock.” There would have been no “small rock” to be found in...

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Why do you preach opposite of what Scripture says? :IDK: Curious Mary

What's stopping us? Free will and Satan? :IDK:
