What silly statements you make. Because all believers are in succession of the apostles faith, then it is that faith as given us in Scripture that is valid. In other words, the Scripture is the basis for that faith. The Scripture is the basis for that doctrine. And validity comes as one is...

All believers are in succession of the apostles faith. Of course. I have no problem with that. Paul and Timothy and others passed down the faith we have received and believed. Is that what you are saying? But Clements letters are not Scripture. Thus, it doesn't matter. Irenaeus writings...

When the Reformation began, you don't call that a splintering of the Church? When the Eastern Orthodox refused to submitt to papal authority, you don't call that a splintering of the Church? Any Protestant divisions after that are the result of the splintering of the Church in the East or...

Henry the VIII broke with Rome between 1532 and 1524. From (Catholic.com by Catholic answer staff, as to the origin of the Roman Catholic Church). "Different variants of the 'Roman' insult appeared at different times. The earliest form was the noun 'Romanist' (one belonging to the Catholic...

The unity of the Church is through the Holy Ghost, not doctrine. We are unified in the Church if we have the Spirit of Christ. Faith in Christ is what brings us into that unity. After that, doctrine then becomes important. Just because believers refuse to be under the Roman papal rule...

Of course it was derogatory. It is derogatory today. The words, 'Roman Catholic Church' don't have to be used by those who recognized the difference between the Roman Church and the Catholic Church. Words such as 'Romanist' to distinguish between Catholic and the Roman Church speak to the...

Just because there is an office of bishop in the Church does not prove any apostolic succession. That churches should maintain and teach the faith of the apostles is not apostolic succession. The twelve disciples were a unique apostleship. And Paul's apostleship was not of the twelve at all...

Wow. Where did I advocate for a Theocracy? Wow. Stranger

(2 Tim. 2:2) says nothing of Timothy being a 'bishop'. And, Paul does not indicate any passing on of 'his' authority. There is no apostolic succession in (Acts 1:20). That is simply a replacement. Big difference. Those were really 'deep' Bible lessons you gave. It's still on my...

I know. You need someone to help you out here. Same old story. Stranger

So many lies. Christians fall short all the time. And Job was no more a sinner than we Christians. God can bring evil into our lives just as He did with Job for His own purpose. Job was saved before (Job 1:1). A simple reading of (Job 1:1) will reveal that. Stranger

Your list ain't worth the paper it is printed on. It is simply your list. I could make a list of heresy. So could anyone else. Big deal. Before you give 'your' list of heresy, you should define what heresy is according to the Church. Not according to 'you'. Stranger

(2 Tim. 2:2) says nothing of apostolic succession. It only encourages Timothy to commit to faithful men that which he was taught also. Oh great. Apostolic succession is the lineage of Judas? Please. As to the 'in fighting', you are wrong again. The believers in the Roman Church and...

If you do not remember you were a sinner what meaning would the sacrifice of Christ have? I just don't think we can know or appreciate the sacrifice of Christ without the remembrance of the sinner we were. Our consciousness of sin does not make us guilty of sin in that day. Throughout all...

Well, my opinion is this: What good is this way God has brought us through if we no longer remember it? What good is the grace we forever shall live under if we do not remember the sinner we were? What meaning has the sacrifice of Christ if we no longer know or remember what sin was? I...

Why wouldn't we have that much knowing? Stranger

This is a false scenario. Those who go to Heaven will not be sad concerning those of their family who didn't. We will know as we are known. If a family member here on earth did not make it to heaven, we will know that God is just and the family member did not belong in Heaven. And the last...

You seem to want to say Paul is saying something different than what the Abrahamic passages say. I'm not sure why there needs to be any double fulfillment. The Abrahamic Covenant is clear that Abrahams physical seed will inherit the land. (Gen. 17:4-8) And this speaks to many. But they...

That is the root problem. You don't believe the Bible. You like to use certain portions of the Bible, but your don't believe the Bible. You say 'non-violent' resistance ended segregation in the U.S.? My memory is better than yours. There were violent race riots everywhere. Such a...

Where do you get the idea that all sinners were placed in Christ at Gethsemane? Stranger
