Thank you for the clarification. I agree with you that Constantine was the catalyst for the Council at Nicaea when he invited the Catholic bishops of the world to assemble. I will just assume you miss-spoke when you said he set up and funded Ecumenical Councils (plural). He invited the Bishops...

Completely bizarre and utterly NOT TRUE post by you and @Nancy should know better. Mary

Thank you for the clarification Deborah. I agree with you.....One can't observe the sacraments on one's own. Respectfully....Mary

You interjected yourself with a snipe on me into a conversation I was having with someone else sooooooo I am not sure what you mean by if I have a question. o_O

I am not claiming a technical foul. I am flat out saying that you PARTIALLY QUOTED and miss-quoted and twisted Scripture to bolster your argument. Scripture warns us Christians about people like you. Mary

And still no answer to my questions......:( Are you embarrassed to be associated to the SDA?

Hi GG, Maybe I misunderstood you when you said, Jesus didn't put Peter in charge for nothing. I thought that is what you believe since you wrote it. If I misunderstood you....I apologize. Mary

And you appointed yourself over them.....How is that working out for you? Thank you for proving my point: You believe what you write and think.....not what anyone else writes and thinks. You follow your teachings and believe your teachings are superior to others.....:(

Would you care to refute what I have written with an articulate defense using Scripture? Or do you prefer only to interject in other's conversations with sniping?

Hi brakelite, I didn't destroy your theory....Scripture did. Scripture says Obey your leaders and submit to them (Hebrews 13:17), be subject to the elders (1 Peter 5:5), and if we refuse to listen to the church how we are to be treated (Matthew 18). The Apostles (The Church) make it clear in...

Thank you justbyfaith. There are several billion "who truly believe in Him" (Christians). That means, according to your theory, there are several billion churches. Which one of these several billion churches is the pillar and foundation of truth? (1 Timothy 3:15) Which one of these several...

The Apostles were "The Church" and whatever The Church tells us to do, we must do.

Thank you GG. I love the emoji!!! :) I get the gist of what you are saying and I THINK I agree with you. Here is the best way I can explain it to you which I THINK mirrors what you are saying: The title "Pope" was not given to the Bishop of Rome until the 300's!! The most important thing to...

Hmmmmmm......And this has what to do with the Council of Jerusalem and the CC?? (the subject at hand)

WOW.....Such an articulate defense of your thoughts and a take down of my post that I backed up with Scripture. Would you care to provide any facts to back up your theory? Or do you just prefer to snipe? Mary

Hi QT, You and I have our own convo on this.....not sure why you are commenting on a question I asked her???? o_O Curious Mary

Thank you QT, Bible study.....LOVE IT!! I, the CC and Scripture agrees with you: Man can not live on BREAD alone. Putting your passage (Matthew 4:4), IN CONTEXT, He was referring actual bread when Satan suggested He turn the stone into bread. When Jesus said that man does not live on...

EXACTLY.....which is why Jesus put Peter in charge. And then someone else was in charge after him and so on and so on for 2,000 years. You have described the office of the Pope in 10 words.....better then I could have done.

LOL....Thank you Scott.....It sounds like you are comparing yourself to Jesus....IMO. Once you show me Scripture (of which you have not done) that Jesus said what you allege he said your words are only YOUR words....not His. Mary

Hmmmmm......so we all get to read the bible and find the answers to it that fit what WE believe it to mean??? Fascinating.....I wonder if that goes against the sound doctrine scripture teaches and fulfills Jesus prayer that we all be one? Hint....your cafeteria Christianity lifestyle is...
