Simply not true: :rolleyes: Matthew 6:19-20 – “store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal.” James 5:3 – Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you, and it will eat your flesh...

It says they were supposing he was dead. But, none the less, I have never seen anyone interpreting those passages as him ACTUALLY being dead.

Hi Behold, I haven't heard/read this before. Where can I find this information? Thank you in advance....Mary

The person they saw casting out devils in Jesus name was forbade by the Apostles to do that since he was not a follower of Christ. That passage shows that there is grace outside The Church. I wonder what would have happened with that fella if they, the Apostles, tried to fulfill Matthew 18:17...

Not true. Post #1167 was to Tong, not me. I have NOT gotten into any deep discussion about translations. Only mentioned it fleetingly.

I do not understand what you are saying and it seems you have misconstrued my answer.

You like to teach a lot (write a lot of words) but not answer questions. When you answer my legitimate questions AND start backing up what you teach with Scripture or Christian history, which is the writings of men (some who were students of the Apostles) whom you disagree with, then I will...

And the faith of the men who teach opposite of you is not solely in God? YOU are right and they are wrong? Fascinating....

Ummmm.....didn't you just teach (write) according to YOUR "reading of scriptures"? Can you not see the fallacy of your theory? You believe what YOU write is true and what others write is false.....simply fascinating! Thank you for your time.

Who is in your hierarchy Joseph?

Historically The Church had to be given a "proper name" because heretical teachings began to pop up and new "churches" with different teachings began. So to distinguish "The Church" from other "churches" they adopted the name "Catholic" which was first used by students of the Apostle. The...

You put your faith in yourself and your own writings. That is a dangerous place to be.

You are seriously misguided in your theory. Acts 1:25 CLEARLY SAYS they replaced Judas so someone else could take over his "apostleship". Titus 1:5 CLEARLY show that the Apostles chose certain men to teach what they taught and to succeed them. Those men were then to teach other men what they...

The decision by the Apostles at The Council of Jerusalem should be held by all Christians in and around the world since their decision was good for the Holy Spirit.

Thank you. I did the research. All the translations I looked at change nothing. They basically all say the same thing. The only caveat with your translation is that Heaven (God) already knows how they (the Church leaders) are going to decide on what to bind or loosen. The Church leaders...

Yes, it is the first time I have heard it explained that way. More research to be done by me

The word Catholic is derived via Late Latin catholicus, from the Greek adjective καθολικός (katholikos), meaning "universal" which comes from the Greek phrase καθόλου (katholou), meaning "on the whole", "according to the whole" or "in general", and is a combination of the Greek words κατά...

The English term “priest” is simply a contraction of the Greek word presbuteros. They have the responsibility of teaching, governing, and providing the sacraments in a given congregation (1 Tim. 5:17; Jas. 5:14–15).
