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:

Yes walter, everybody comes from their own unique experiences and reasons for believing what they believe. Yes, everyone should, as commanded, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself, and by doing that it would be a "positive foundation for the people in the world". Both those statements are very...

Finally, we agree on something!

AJ! Your Protestant teachers have not done very well at teaching you. The Bereans were Jews. When Paul and Silas told them how Jesus fulfilled the ancient prophesy they researched what we now call the OT and determined that Paul and Silas were telling them the truth and that Jesus was the...

I read your long response two different ways. The first way: All those words in 4 paragraphs and I don't see an answer to my very simple questions. So, I will try again: Have you found "the truth"? It appears you think you know the truth since you know that the Catholic Church is not teaching...

YES! But your Protestant men have never taught you that and you are scared to learn the truth on your own!

The history of The Catholic Church before the Reformation: It established churches throughout the world with One teaching under One Church which fulfilled Christ's prayer that we all be One! It codified Scripture (the bible you quote from) via the Councils of Nicaea, Rome, Carthage, Florence...

Since Jesus rose from the dead!
