    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Hmmmm...I'm sure I typed unleavened bread but apparently it got autocorrected :IDK: I should have double checked....

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Ummmmmm......would you care to address my questions? Or continue to bloviate with nonsensical off topic rhetoric? Jesus said this IS my body while holding up the bread. Paul asked the question, The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? Your answer to Paul is, NO...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Glad I can make you smile!! Show me in church teaching where The Church requires the Eucharist to be round or that is round in honor of the Roman sun god and you will have me convinced. Otherwise you just keep repeating your old opinion which is very boring.:oldthread: Once again you and your...

    Lol...Hold on! HOLD ON GIRL!! :watching and waiting: Are you being serious? Judas defected, fell away, betrayed Christ etc and that is your evidence that the Apostolic Fathers were not reliable interpreters of Scripture????????????? :jest::Laughingoutloud: God waited 1,800+ plus years to give...

    And no grand jury has convicted any of your Protestant men for the same thing? :watching and waiting:

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Dear Jane, It is an unscriptural practice to call the bread a symbol since at no point and at no time does Scripture say that it is a symbol. Us Christians simply believe and practice what Christ said, "This (the bread) IS my body...." and Paul teaches; it is a participation in the body of...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I don't think God cares what shape the Eucharist is and Scripture does not tell us what shape it is required to be. The Church uses unleavened bread to make it, just like the bread Christ used at the last supper. Archaeological research demonstrate the round form of the Eucharist from pictures...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I have read God's word for myself. Clearly you have not. I have quoted God's word to you in the last several posts to destroy what your men have taught you. Your branch started 1,800+ years after the death of Christ. Does that concern you Jane? Whom do you trust more when interpreting...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    And once again your men are lying to you Jane. THAT is pretty serious and THAT is what concerns me and All did NOT come from Jesus and the Apostles. There were some that were disciples of Jesus and the Apostles and preached in His name. What happened to them Jane? Scripture makes that clear...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Glad I can make you smile. I shouldn't have assumed that your men taught you all of Scripture, Christian history or that you have the desire to learn either. In 1 Timothy 1:6 and 4:14 Paul reminds Timothy that the office of bishop had been conferred on him through the laying on of hands. In 1...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Jesus said we must eat His body in the bread of life discourse. He then showed us how to do it at the last supper. Jesus did not say what you allege he said. Here is what he said: Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. At no point and at no time did He...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Hi Jane, Ummmm.....YOU said "the bread offered at the Lord’s Supper was broken flat bread" and Scripture does not say it was flat bread sooooo what am I missing here? It was leavened bread.

    I know. That's why I said, "For future reference you don't need to waste all your time degrading The Church and Christianity with your opinions." ;)

    Hey Jane! It's eclipse day. It's going to be so kool. I'm excited. I've got my glasses ready. :cool: For future reference you don't need to waste all your time degrading The Church and Christianity with your opinions. I already know how you feel about The Church. Of all the above attacks on The...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    You are looking at it wrong Brakelite. There is no "What guided the individual Christians....", there is only "Who guided the individual Christians...". Scripture, and your own historical Christian writings, make it clear how that happened. In the areas that a church was established a church...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Nope, I didn't suggest that or say that or imply that in any way shape or form. The odds are they did hear teachings from ravenous wolves who were false teachers that had entered the flock. However, as long as they followed/listened to the men of The Church that were appointed by the Apostles...

    Hmmmm......all Christian denominations say the same thing about JW's. ;)

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Once the Beareans, who were Jews, realized that Paul was telling them the Truth about Jesus fulfilling Scripture they then became Christians! They then obeyed the teachings of the men of The Church. They DIDN'T listen to the teachings of the Apostles and then disregard the teachings they...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Lol...as long as YOU say they are bearing witness to the truth taught in Scripture! Then, and only then will you "obey and hear" your elders.
