Nope....that was not the subject matter. The subject matter was exactly what I wrote. Never, not once, ever did I mention my Church. There are MULTIPLE non-denominational members on this forum. They completely reject a hierarchical church. I don’t care if it is Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran...

PC, Read my original post and you should CLEARLY see that there are some that “has authority over others”. Your opinion does not negate what I wrote and what scripture CLEARLY says!!!!! Do you not believe that the Apostles had authority over all other Christians that were alive at the...

For the 4th time.....Stop communicating with me.

Hi B5, So says the men that you follow that started your teaching about 500 years ago. There is 2,000 years of teaching from other men that you don’t follow that say different. I can provide evidence for my 2,000 year teaching. Can you provide evidence showing that your teaching is 2,000 years...

Hi, The Holy Ghost has led you where??? To whom???? What YOU believe to be true? My OP still stands. Since the time of Moses thru the Apostles God has ordained certain men to lead his people. None of the passages you quoted negates that fact. Who had authority To teach the Truth AFTER the...

Thanks B5, Jesus said to the Apostles In that passage.....and the Apostles only....If they reject you they reject me. Your theory is that if I go “door-to-door” and evangelize baptism saves you, which is a Catholic teaching, and you go door to door evangelizing baptism doesn’t save you...which...

Thank you David. None of what you wrote negates the fact that from Moses to the 12 Apostles there were men here on earth that had authority over all other Jews/Christians. You even agree that there is such a thing as an authoritative Church with saints. Yet you contradict yourself when you...

Right...and YOU never add commentary to Scripture and your commentary is "exact teaching"?? I can find many posts on this forum where you have added commentary sooooooo do you fail also?? Why do you reject the authority of The Church to add commentary but accept your own commentary? Did that...

Thank you Mosheli. Mathias was a successor to the Apostles. So were the bishops and elders. Letters to Timothy from Paul were pastoral instructions to Timothy. Do you not believe Timothy was a successor of Paul? Mary

My choice is to ask you again not to troll me.

Thank you DH, I agree with you that "Men will and have led many astray and into error". That does not negate the fact of what I pointed out in my OP. From the time of Moses to the Apostles men have bee given authority by God to rule over us. As Jesus said: Do as they say not as they do....If...

I never asked if you reject the authority of my church. I asked.....in general...why do you reject authority! Thank you for your apology. Mary

Please do not communicate with me trollman.

SCripture disagrees with you .....but thank you for your opinion Qt.

Amen brother Paul....preach it. I also think that people should leave those Churches that has leadership that is representing a false Jesus. What Church do you go to Paul? Maybe we can get some people headed toward you and your church that does not represent a false teacher? Mary

Thank You B5. If you feel you must follow the Jewish Sabbath then follow it. As for me I will follow Scripture and let no man judge me on what sabbath I keep and continue to worship Him on the Day of The Lord, Sunday, just like the NT Christians did. Mary PS....You did not fully quote JP2...

Please leave me alone and go away trollman.

Thanks B5, You suggest that “removal does not constitute divine judgment.” How does Luke 10:16 play into your theory? Curious Mary

Thank you Backlit. Show me in Catholic doctrine that The Church had the authority to “persecute“ Christians who are not Catholic and I will join your ferocious attacks on The Church. It seems we agree that they have the authority to ex-communicate them but persecute is a different matter. Show...

Thank you Mosheli. Well thought out response and I appreciate it. I agree with you that it is undisputable that the Apostles had the authority to tell all other Christians at that time what to believe, practice etc. Do you believe that authority died when they died? Curious Mary
