    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Yup, He said THE flesh profitieth nothing. He didn't say MY flesh profiteth nothing. In John 6 He TOLD us that we must eat His flesh of which he compared to manna (bread). Several months later He SHOWED us HOW to eat His flesh (bread) at the Last Supper saying it IS His body. 30 years later...

    Translation: I lied. The Pope never said what I, Brakelite, accused him of saying. And I refuse to apologize!!

    I know you have never gotten DIRECTLY involved with warfare because you have the luxury of not getting involved with warfare. Other Christian men do the fighting and bleeding and dying to protect your women, children and elderly and your right to not fight. If all men were as passive as your...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I know you never said the Protestants weren't just as guilty as The Church. THATS THE PROBLEM!! For some reason you found it important to point the finger at The Church without realizing you had 3 fingers pointing back at you. You were looking at the log in someone else's eye without...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    You make a very good point. 2 swords among the eleven means 9 were unarmed. Maybe He was saying that the 2 disciples who brought the swords were each sufficiently armed? Or he may have referred to the swords as examples of what each disciple should have? Or “Those swords are suitable (i.e. good...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    NOPE, not my opinion. It's literally what He said and Christianity has taught for 2,000 years. Us Christians believe Him, believe in miracles and have faith: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. 54 Whoever...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    What your men have taught you is delusional. It was NOT an object lesson. :jest: Jesus never said we should be doormats and pacifists. He makes this clear in Luke 22:36-38 when he tells the apostles to “take up a sword” for self-defense. It is true that Jesus tells St. Peter to put away his...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    No, I'm not claiming that, never suggested that and never implied that! I think it is very clear what I am claiming. Jesus told his disciples to sell their cloak and buy a sword. I think we can both agree that the reason He told his disciples to buy a sword was for self-defense? History is...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I stated and asked: You already know who my church leaders are. Who is yours? Or what denomination is it that has this leader that meets YOUR conditions. You dodged my questions AGAIN. Are you embarrassed to reveal what denomination you belong too? :doldrums: Are you embarrassed for your church...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Got it. You found a church that teaches closest to what YOU say is "Bible truth". Since you already know "Bible truth" why don't you start you own church and teach that truth to anyone that will attend? No, I did not become a member of The Church without any conditions. For you see Brakelite I...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Nice. You found a Church leader that meets your conditions. Are you still under their tutelage? You already know who my church leaders are. Who is yours? Or what denomination is it that has this leader that meets YOUR conditions? And to answer your silly question: I have never suggested...

    Nice try dodge ball. Here is the question again: In all your years of searching, have you found a Church leader that meets your conditions?

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Jane, your profile statement fits you: What I post are my personal beliefs......Thank you for your above personal beliefs. I choose to stick with facts and Scripture. Sooooo any denomination or man that doesn't adhere to JW doctrine is a twister of Scripture and the devil is a good teacher to...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Nope THC, I never said that, and Scripture doesn't teach that. YOU are not looking at the big picture and accuse me of not looking at the big picture. YOU take a few lines from Scripture that fit what your men have taught you instead of looking at all of Scripture in context and finding the...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Lol....NOPE, I wasn't looking at one passage. I was looking at BOTH and saying one doesn't cancel out the other. YOU were looking at only 1 passage and suggesting that it is the only passage in regard to this matter. It's not. There is a balance since Scripture doesn't contradict itself. I have...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I asked for a passage from Scripture that nullifies "Obey those who rule over you" and it seems you are saying that Acts 5:29 is that passage? Well, it's not the passage that nullifies the commands to obey those who rule over us. In FULL CONTEXT The Apostles were following the orders of God...
