    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Yes, I know the truth because I listen to The Church and The Church decides the truth just like Scripture says in 1 Timothy 3:15 and the truth has set me free just like Scripture says in John 8:32. Scripture has, as you said, decided the truth. But you and your men deny the truth. Here is one...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    YES, you did admit that your men don't know the truth of Scripture. QUOTE FROM YOU: The scriptures decide what is truth. Not your men. Or my men. Or any man. You crack me up.....But dishonesty shouldn't be funny.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Give one passage that says he wasn't. Since there is not a single passage that says he was or wasn't then one has to look at all of the NT and historical Christian writings. If one reads all of the NT it is easy to see that he was. Even your Protestant bible scholars agree. Post #1460 and 1461...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    You have a weird way of looking at things TItus OR your men from your denomination have done a poor job of teaching you and failed you OR, if you are self-taught on the study of Scripture, you have failed yourself. No scholar would "demand" that Scripture be read in Aramaic. After reading all...

    Hey @RedFan. I asked 5 questions of you in the above post. Are you ever going to address them? YOU are the one that wanted to have the conversation and now you are not conversating. Mary

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Redfan, I agree with you Redfan. That letter does not speak of Papacy. But if you take into consideration what else Ignatius wrote, his writings come together to show he believes in Papal authority over The Church AND bishops who are over their local jurisdictions. to the church also which...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Can I push back? Pseudo graphical or not, it is accepted as Scripture therefore it must be treated as such. Even if it wasn't written by Peter, it very well could be a historical record of what Peter said/did etc. Written by a close acquaintance, a student of Peter or historian writing down...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Titus, Your suggestion makes no sense. When historical scholars are researching the history of an organization they don't ignore the evidence from the organization they are researching. They take the evidence they have, see if it is real AND look for outside sources to verify that evidence if...

    Lol....Got it. You have no historical evidence. So what you wrote was your opinion, not historical fact. Thank you for your opinion. Mary

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Scripture makes it clear that Peter was the leader of the Apostles after Christ died. Anyone that denies that FACT doesn't know Scripture. I'm not even making the claim in this post that he was the first Pope. I'm just saying scripture makes it clear that Peter was the leader of the Apostles...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    YOU asked "What two traditions? I gave a clear reference to Scripture on what those two traditions are. Tell me where I went wrong! Patient Mary

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Hey Titus. Here is a Christian history lesson. Opposition to infant baptism began in the Middle Ages. Before that it was practiced and accepted by all Christians. YOU want to deny infants, who have a God given soul, baptism. Scripture makes it clear that what your men taught you is wrong: Be...

    in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Yup, that is what The Church teaches. Do you agree with The Church?

    Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold to the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word or our epistle.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Do you even think about what you are going to say before you say it? First off, you just admitted that your men don't know the truth of Scripture. :jest: Second off, you just admitted that YOU don't know the truth of Scripture. But you KNOW that everyone else is wrong except for YOU and your...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    God makes Christians??????? Lol.....Tell that to all the Muslims and atheists. :jest: A person decides to believe or not believe in Christ. God does not make us believe in Him. God does not make Christians. So, once again, you are wrong. Yes, men make denominations. One of the very first...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    When it opposes Paul's Doctrine according to YOUR interpretation of Paul's Doctrine? Or according to what other men have taught you?

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    You crack me up brakelite. The men of The Church (the Church Fathers) thru the guidance of the Holy Spirit decided what the NT would be. And your church fathers, the men who started your denomination in the 1800's, agree with the Church Fathers. If they didn't agree with the Church Fathers, you...
