Thank you. I am unable to figure out why you believe LOCATION has a significant roll in Matthew 16:19. Can you explain the significance to me? Thank you in advance...Mary

Got it......Soooo you HIGHLY SUGGEST that I don't rely on any other interpretation of that passage from any scientists unless that scientist agrees with what YOU think it means? Catholic "scientists" are not to be listened to? According to Papias and Irenaeus the Gospel of Matthew was written...

Marks, marks marks, I agree with you that Jesus is the foundation; the cornerstone of The Church. I ALSO quoted Scripture that says Paul laid a foundation! Are you going to address how both Paul and Jesus laid a foundation? :coff Or are you stumped on how to answer? Did your men not show...

Hey Marks, Yup, Paul builds upon the foundation that Jesus started. But what you have to remember is that Paul didn't become a Christian until 14 years AFTER the crucifixion of Jeus. Which means that the foundation for The Church was being built for 14 years before Paul came onto the scene. We...

Thanks Scott! I appreciate you telling me "what you have believed" and ask you to "consider what was also going on" in regard to this passage. I agree with you that some have 'overlooked the framework of the conversation' and the significance of Simon’s name change to Peter. It is clear that...

Hey JDB. I appreciate your input. So, I did as you suggested. I used Google and found some books that provide commentary on the book of Matthew. Some of those books are Catholic. Are those Catholic books "reputable"? Mary

Help me out here JDB so I better understand your opinion. Your opinion is that when Jesus specifically told Peter (saying YOU 4 times) that he is giving Peter the keys you believe that Jesus really meant that he was giving ALL the Apostles the keys? WHAT do you mean by 'truthfully it's for...

You are MISquoting Scripture and not taking it into context........Paul said, HE laid the foundation in Corinth. So how is Jesus the foundation at the church in Corinth? Goodness gracious........Like I said....a waste of time

All mocking removed.....;)

Oh goodness marks....I know this is a waste of time but here we go...... A cornerstone is PART of a foundation. Jesus IS the cornerstone for THE Church. In 1 Corinthians Paul said, HE laid a foundation (at the church in Corinth), and someone else is building on it. Paul laid the foundation for...

1 Corinthians 3:11, in context, speaks of Paul laying a foundation with someone else building on it. He further says that each builder must choose with care how to build on it and that no one can lay any foundation other than the one that has been laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ. Soooo I...

Yes, a 'new' thread since no one has started a thread (that I can find) in regard to this. Mock? I will read what I wrote and take out any mocking. Had my fill of what? Debunking Bizarre teachings.....:watching and waiting:

There was a previous discussion by @Taken and @Mr E about Peter being a rock or THE rock. Searching for threads concerning this I could not find any, so I am starting one. Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I...

B5, No, The Church is not "venturing pretty close to eisegesis" in regard to Matthew 6:11. Thank you for your opinion. Here are the facts! It appears to me that your men taught you that the 'bread' spoken of in 6:11 is edible bread since you opinionated that it is a big staple of diet for folk...

Seriously B5? As I stated before, with quotes from Scripture and historical Christian writings, the NT Christians did partake every day and at a minimum every Lords Day. ONCE AGAIN you have given your opinion on the matter instead of any facts on the matter! Just because Scripture does not...

Hi B5, It is true that The Church and some Protestant denominations "emphasize partaking of the Eucharist"! But as I clearly stated before, with quotes from Scripture and Christian history to back it up, the NT Christians ALSO emphasized partaking of the Eucharist. JESUS emphasized it when he...

Hey B5, You didn't post anything from Scripture that discredited what I posted, but you did give your opinion....and I appreciate that.

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi B5, I think Scripture and my post make it clear that for NT Christians the breaking of bread was, at a minimum, every Lords Day if not daily! It CLEARLY is not only a "Catholic devotion to the Eucharist" since some Protestant denominations do it also, just like the NT Christians did. As...

He B5, I think we are in agreement that that every day would not be treated entirely as THE Sabbath. There is only one day for the Lords Day and that is Sunday. I hope you have a great year....Mary
