I believe in the communion of saints. I also believe in water baptism. But, not the water baptism of Rome. So, you see, I am Catholic. I am just not Roman. Stranger

No apologies here for being white and Christian. Stranger

Peter was never given any primacy. The verses you show don't prove Peter is over the church of Rome and that the Roman church is over all the Church. Stranger

Sure, I believe in the communion of saints. Sure, I believe all Christians are part of the Body of Christ. We pray and rejoice in our local setting. If something of the universal church comes to our attention then we pray and rejoice in that. I do not reject the communion of the saints. I...

The Scriptures you use do not say what you're saying they do. Thus there is no contradiction in the verses I give you. You want to interpret in parables cause you can make it say anything and don't need to do much studying to learn the Scriptures. Because you can't hold your argument you...

Only if you want to believe a lie. The phrase in the Apostles Creed, "I believe in the Holy Catholic Church: the communion of Saints", is not talking about the Roman Church. It is talking about the universal church of Jesus Christ. But believe whatever you like, you like to make up things...

I believe them because they are all correct. Stranger

You said the Word of God is held in secret and revealed only to those to whom it is given. It is not held in secret. (Is. 48:16) "Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I..." The creation of light is not a...

There is no Biblical evidence for Peter being the pope or the Roman church having authority over all the Church of Christ. There is no Scripture proving Peter's Primacy. Stranger

It is not my opinion. Peter didn't steal anything. I have no problem with Peter. The Catholic Church didn't steal authority. The Roman Church did. As I have said, there is nothing in Scripture to give Rome any primacy. It is the Romanists that must make it up. As I said, go back and...

Where does it say the word of Scripture is public and held in secret only to be revealed to those of whom it is given. Where in the creation is this demonstration of parable language? The tower of Babel is not a demonstration of 'parables'. Where did you get that? Isaiah did speak of...

No, believing everything is a parable is not thinking big. It is thinking crazy. You and others would like everything to be a parable so you could give any interpretation you want. And, who could argue? It would all be subjective. Stranger

(Psalms 138:2) "I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for they truth: for thou hast magnified they word above all thy name." So, because you find 'apparent' contradictions in the Bible, you choose to devalue it as not God's Word? Apparent...

Welcome to the forum. What do we obey? Stranger

(John 6:63) "...the words that I speak unto you they are spirit, and they are life." This is not speaking of parables. It is saying every word Jesus speaks is spirit. (Mark 4:11) This proves exactly what I said. The parables were for the 'mystery' form of the Kingdom. (Gen. 11:9) has...

Feared? I would say no. They may have despised Him, but He wouldn't have been feared. My opinion. Though Jesus was part of that family I don't think He would have had a normal 'happy' childhood. Stranger

Mary, Mary, quite contrary As I said, the New Testament did not negate slavery. (Eph. 6:5-6) "Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh..." Also, (1Peter 2:18) "Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear..." How could the war be over slavery when...

Here in Texas many of the old Germans spoke very good Spainish and likewise many old Mexicans spoke good German. That is because in the early days of settlement they both lived close with one another. Stranger

And (Psalms 119)? I have said it is in disagreement with you. You seem to be saying, yes, it is, but give me time. Stranger

I have no problem with what the Lord did with Peter. I have a problem with what Rome does with Peter. No Scripture you gave says Peter is the pope of the church at Rome. No Scripture you gave says Rome has primacy over all of the Church of Christ. Stranger
