Lol...Right! Ignatious made up that word in that letter and it was NEVER used before that to describe The Church. OK....I will go with that logic. So, a student of an Apostle called MY church The Catholic Church around 110 AD. Who named YOUR denomination and when? Curious Mary

OK.....so I have two questions for you. Both from the NT: The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? What is your answer? Curious Mary

Hey Pearl, The Catholic Church does recognize some people as "saints" but here is what The Church teaches: Saints are persons in heaven (officially canonized or not), who lived heroically virtuous lives, offered their life for others, or were martyred for the faith, and who are worthy of...

Hey Jim, Christian History Lesson Time: The earliest Christian historical document we have in which “Catholic” is used to label The Church is in a letter from Ignatius of Antioch (a student of the Apostle John), who wrote around A.D. 107-110. Logically he was not the first to use the word...

Got it Jim. It seems you are a pacifist. If you were alive during any of the Crusades (they lasted from the 11th thru 13th century) would you have allowed the Muslims to take over all Christian holy sites, your churches, torture/kill your neighbors/family, forced conversions etc and allowed...

Hi Jim, Well, at least you are more reasonable and less venomous than most people on here in your answer, and I appreciate that. Just a slight correction to your answer though: The Church didn't wage wars by calling for the Crusades. The Church fought back against the attacks from the Muslims...

Hey Jim B, How do "all believers" fulfill 1 Timothy 3:15 and Matthew 18:17? Curious Mary

Lol....I never said Peter wasn't a flawed man. Also, listing 4 different web links is more than a "nice try"to prove that you are wrong. It IS proof that you are wrong!!! No biblical scholar agrees with you. ONCE AGAIN, you dodged the question: What is the significance of Jesus giving Peter...

Neither the clothes Jesus was wearing or the Jewish leaders were wearing had anything to do with Jesus pointing out their hypocrisy.

hey jim b, You do know WHY the Crusades happened? Don't you?

hey jim b, You do know WHY the Crusades happened? Don't you?

Jesus was not admonishing the Jewish leaders for wearing extra clothing. That is a very poor interpretation of that passage. Reading it in context shows that he was calling them hypocrites....NOT admonishing their clothing chooses. Read back a few vs's and explain to me why Jesus said this...

hey jim b, You do know WHY the Crusades happened? Don't you? And you do know that your own Protesant men "under the auspices" of their denomination? Don't you? Or is your goal only to point out the sins if the men of The Church and not the men of your Protestant denominations? Curious and...

Well, let's break down your lies or misconceptions one by one: The Church does not have a fixation on Peter. Scripture and Christ have a fixation on Peter. That is why Jesus gave Peter the keys to heaven and no other apostles was. Jesus told Peter and Peter only to strengthen his brothers...

Yup, "I" didn't quote Scripture accurately, but YOU did......:Zek: Let me help you out with some bible study Jim B: https://biblehub.com/commentaries/acts/15-14.htm https://bible-history.com/studybible/Acts/15/14/...

Got it. You can not provide any bible vs that says wearing religious garb is forbidden AND your church does not practice what is written in the bible when it comes to anointing the sick with oil. Thank you....Mary

Can you find in Scripture that it is forbidden? Do the elders of your church anoint the sick with oil? Curious Mary

Yup Jim B, you quoted the bible............and then provided your interpretation. Thank you. I did the same thing. Getting back to the subject at hand: Peter as the leader of the church after the death of Jesus. What is the significance of Jesus giving Peter, and only Peter, the keys? Curious...

I see what you mean....

Thank you. The proof from the text that Philip explained the ritual of baptism to the Eunuch is when the Eunuch asked to be baptized right after he believed. We see this happening in other parts of Scripture: Belief then baptism Mark 16:16 Acts 2:41 Acts 8:12
