    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Hey Jane, As Scripture says, if possible, I will leave the vengeance to God. C'mon Jane!! You do realize that those verses don't mean 'the guy who has just killed your family, offer him a sandwich and water'. And when he goes to your neighbor's house with the bloody sword that he just used to...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    You are right Jane, my men will answer to God. When God asks us did you protect the weakest among you from evil murdering armies/gangs of men than invaded your neighborhood, City, State or country my men will say YES, we did Lord. We bought a sword, JUST LIKE YOU TOLD US TO DO, and we saved all...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Lol Brakelite....Of course I wouldn't murder someone if a priest told me to....stop being dramatic. According to your previous post (1, uno, singular) your 'condition' for submitting to Church leaders is that "they themselves are (to be) submitted to Christ and teach the truth". Do you really...

    Good point. Scripture doesn't say that God did it. I guess it's presumed....

    Show me a post of your in which you have said that you WILL obey those who rule over you and i will retract what I wrote.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Show me a passage that nullifies "Obey those who rule over you" and I will join your ilk.

    My men will continue to give their lives to protect and defend your property, women, children and men so that you can continue to spew your twisted beliefs.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Marks, Nope, it is not what my Church taught me. It is what Scripture teaches US! Clearly Annanias and Sapphira were to give all their money to The Church because that is what they were doing when they brought (part of it) it to Peter, who was a representative of The Church. Scripture also...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Thanks for answering the question. I appreciate it as some on here just ignore questions asked of them and only answer with a question. You didn't do that, and I appreciate it. :) The topic of our conversation is Obey them that have the rule over you and submit yourselves (Hebrews 13:17) and...

    Lol....Adrift, I didn't provide an "interpretation of scripture". I summarized several passages from Scripture, and you called them scary. Why does Scripture scare you? You crack me up.........

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    You crack me up adrift. You don't even realize that what I wrote is from Scripture.....and you call it "scary".

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Oh goodness Brakelite. Luke 22 has NOTHING to do with what we are talking about. Scripture LITERALLY SAYS "you must obey only us (the appointed elders of The Church)" yet you say you won't obey them. I have given MULTIPLE PASSAGES from Scripture that show that.........Never mind. You are...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Oh goodness THC.....sooooo your Scriptural evidence that nullifies Jesus telling his disciples to buy a sword and approving them of buying swords is Matthew 26:52? Does Matthew 26:52 tell them NOT to defend themselves or not to buy swords? Does Matthew 26:52 condemn the use of a sword? The...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Brakelite.....can you PLEASE address the passages I provided??? John 14:15 and Matthew 15:9 have NOTHING to do with what we are talking about. Keeping His commandments has NOTHING to do with the 8 passages I provided about obeying those that rule over you. Jesus being head of the Church has...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Read ALL of Scripture AGAIN Brakelite instead of the cherry-picked passages that support what YOU believe! Christ established a Church with CLEAR authority led by men who enforce that authority. If you refuse to listen to The Church, you are to be treated like a pagan/tax collector (Matthew...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Yup brakelite, you don't have to obey your elder if they teach opposite of what Scripture teaches. That is common sense. If the elder is in good standing with The Church, then you, as Scripture says, must obey them. 1 Corinthians has NOTHING to do with obeying your elders and it doesn't cancel...

    But everyone is not Christ like or JW like sooooooo there will always be war.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    LOL, YES, really! All of Christianity teaches that self-defense is in Scripture. Only your sect denies it is in Scripture and would allow your entire town to be pillaged, women raped, and children killed. Thats scary.....THANK GOD 99.9999% of Christians do not adhere to your mens teachings...

    When did I defend any sex abusers? Quote me. If you can't (and you can't), then apologize. I suspect no apology will be coming from you. That's how dishonest people work ;)

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I have....that is why I was once a Protestant and have now joined The Church that Christ started. The One that is the pillar and foundation of truth spoken of in Scripture. There can be only One Church with authority.....you Protestants have THOUSANDS, all claiming to have authority! Also, I...
