That's good news. Do us a favor and stay there. Perhaps there needs to be a wall in the north also. Stranger

A fledgling Church? Only in the sense that it needed Pauls Gospel. Not some 'Peter's authority', gag. There is no Peter in Rome in the Scriptures. Only Paul. You say Irenaeus wrote about the Primacy of the Bishops of Rome in "Against Heresies". Give the quote. Concerning your letter...

First of all, (Mark 6:13) says no such thing. It says, "And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them." (Mark 6:7) states that Jesus "...called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean...

(Mark 6:13) doesn't say Judas drove out any demons. The twelve as a group drove out demons. They went out two by two, and as two by two they drove out demons. (John 6:70) "Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?" Note it says 'is a devil', not will...

As to the start of the original Church at Rome, that Paul wrote to, no one knows who started it. But what is sure is that there was no Pope over it. There is nothing in the Scripture to indicate any Papal or Pope authority of Rome. Even if one says (Matt. 16:17-19) pertains to Peter...

Says you. But then again, as I have said before, you are under the illusion that just because you say something you have proved it. That the East rejected papal authority, yes. As they should have. As the Reformers later would do. Oh, 'Peter has spoken'. How Papal is that? Peter...

Not much of a challenge really. The Catholic Church is the original and only Church. Composed of all born-again believers. But, the Roman Church, is not the Catholic Church. Though it wants to be over the Catholic Church and wants the title of the Catholic Church. Stranger

There was no 'decline in the east' to adhere to Papal authority. There was resistance to adhere to the Papal take over. You are the wordsmith. Why did the East break from the Roman Church? Because they didn't want to be under Roman rule. They didn't want to be under the Pope. They didn't...

No kidding it was about authority. Papal authority. The Eastern Church refused to be servants of the Pope. The Roman Pontiff. Stranger

This post is so historically-bankrupt - it's difficult to know where to begin. Let's start with the Eastern Churches "not recognizing" the authority of the Bishop of Rome. Hmmmmm, let's see . . . At the Council of Chalcedon in the 5th century - the Fathers erupted and exclaimed, "Peter has...

Mary Sorry, I just noticed your post #173 was not present on my reply I don't know why? But this is my reply to it. The Bible is the Truth and in it is found the faith of the apostles and so is passed down to the Church. When you want to say we are not all saying the same thing, then what...

The term 'Romanist' was already in use before Henry broke with Rome, as I said in post #135. The point being that people already had an understanding of the difference between the Roman Church and the Catholic Church, a difference between the Universal Church and the Roman Church. This...

The origins of Romanism are greed and power. Don't kid yourself. Luther's primacy of Scripture directly threatened the primacy of the Pope and papal authority. Papal authority caused the split of the Eastern Church in 1054, and was the root cause of the Protestant Reformation. Stranger

The Bible is the Truth as it is the Word of God. It contains the faith of the apostles as given to us. You want to paint this picture that if we all have the truth then why arn't we preaching the same exact thing? Because we are all in an effort to learn the truth. Many things come into...

1515 is before 1532. In other words, the Romanist identity as different than the Catholic identity, was understood, before Henry the VIII separated from the Roman rule. Thus you should not remain ignorant of the term 'Romanist', as you like to pretend to be. Yes, Roman Catholic is always a...

Romanism has caused the splintering of the Church. Romes efforts to develop a Roman authority over all the Church is the reason for all splintering of various groups of believers. This splintering began in 1054 when the Eastern Church refused papal authority. Then some 500 years later, other...

When Romanists use the word succession, they speak of a continual line going back to the original 12 to which they want to link their papal system. God wanted 12 apostles to have at the start of the Church. Just like He wanted 12 tribes of Israel. So it was necessary to 'replace' Judas...

Sounds good. We are just responsible to get the message out. Not for the results. And we may never know till that day the affect of that message. Thanks for the update. Stranger

Any possible way to know how the ministry fared at this event? Stranger

Yes, we are all priests...of the Melchisedecian order. (Heb. 7:11-12, 7:21) Stranger
