    Why do we need priests?

    Well, you got the index of your bible from men who debated what should be in your bible soooooo whether you care or not it doesn't change the FACTS. We rely on men who fulfill Matthew 18:18

    Why do we need priests?

    Hi Nancy, 1st: Three verses earlier in verse 24 it says, Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. If we are to only follow the testimony of...

    Why do we need priests?

    Hi Nancy, From whom did you get the table of contents for your bible? Man or direct revelation? James 5:14-16 is rife with intercessor's. When I pray for you I am an intercessor. Soooo I am trying to figure out what you mean when you say "we need no human being to be the intercessor". Mary

    Why do we need priests?

    Sooooooo your theory is if you quote a ex-communicated priest who alleged bizarre conspiracy theories and misrepresented the CC then that is evidence that the CC is evil? Wrong? I like your theory........Can I start quoting current Priest's who used to be Protestant as my evidence against you...

    Why do we need priests?

    Hi Willie, The English term “priest” is a contraction of the Greek word presbuteros. Priests (presbuteroi) are also known as “presbyters” or “elders.” Mary

    Why do we need priests?

    Hi Pearl, The English term “priest” is a contraction of the Greek word presbuteros. Priests (presbuteroi) are also known as “presbyters” or “elders.” Priest have the responsibility of teaching, governing, and providing the sacraments (laying on of hands) in a given congregation. A FEW examples...

    The word, "Doctrine"

    Thank you Willie. You are very good at making your point. Your example above is very clear and concise to me. I don't see where Jesus came to "straighten-out the way Religious people had distorted some of the meaning of the written word." I believe what Jesus said when he said He came to...

    The word, "Doctrine"

    Hi Enoch, Let me help you dispel your myths: The word catholic comes from the Greek katholikos: universal, wide ranging, whole. When that word is capitalized it means Catholic Church. In the Creed the word catholic is not capitalized and is used among other adjectives in the same manner...

    The word, "Doctrine"

    He never gave us a table of contents for the bible either. Was that done by man's intervention? Mary

    The Church The Papacy Says You Should Join

    Not true...... but I know quoting Scripture will not change your mind because I am sure by now you have been given those passages from Scripture which say opposite of what you and your church practices. Mary

    The word, "Doctrine"

    Hi, I do like to research (learn) things that I don't know.... A writing from Tertullian (155-220AD) around the year 200AD has parts of the Creed in it so those parts either started with him or he was taught it. It is not known who he was a student of or if he was self taught. So to connect...

    The word, "Doctrine"

    I will take close....:) No....Only the Church that is built upon a rock is correct. 1 Timothy 3:15, Matthew 16:18; 18:17

    The word, "Doctrine"

    Once again....a lot of words but no answer. I thought you would be able to defend your theory and teach me something....:(

    The word, "Doctrine"

    Hi Willie, You intrigued me so much with your statement (highlighted in red) that I had to do some research. I now THINK I know what you mean. There are multiple denominations with their own creeds. All those creeds are different which means they all could not have been passed down thru the...

    The word, "Doctrine"

    I was not involved....Apology accepted! :rolleyes:

    The word, "Doctrine"

    Cute words.....no substance! The Church, like Scripture says, has the authority to treat us as a pagan or tax collector. Using your theory I have a question for you: Which part of that "body of Christ" has the authority to treat someone that way? Patient Mary

    Soooooo your not even willing to admit that YOU called it a game and falsely accused me? Hmmmmm.........:(

    The word, "Doctrine"

    Hi Willie, I agree with you. Neither you nor I were taught "doctrine" at the feet of the Apostles. We have the writings of men that were taught at the feet of the Apostles so their writings hold greater weight then any other men you and I could name. A good starting point for any Christian to...
