As I said, the RCC is all of man and nothing of the Holy Spirit. There is absolutely no presence of the Holy Spirit anywhere in the RCC right from the Vatican downwards. In fact, God has given it up to the deception that they have brought upon itself.

Why Catholic Priests are Celibate A primary reason Catholic priests are unmarried and celibate is the Catholic belief that a priest acts in persona Christi—that he acts “in the person of” or as a representation of Christ. Because Jesus was unmarried, priests are to model themselves after...

I have. You will see it in my previous post.

The Council of Trent The Council of Trent (Latin: Concilium Tridentinum), held between 1545 and 1563 in Trento (Trent) and Bologna, northern Italy, was one of the Roman Catholic Church's most important ecumenical councils. Prompted by the Protestant Reformation, it has been described as the...

The church that claims the chair of Peter is all of man. The Holy Spirit has not been near it for at least the last 1700 years.

The RCC Council of Trent clearly teaches that those who depend on Christ alone through faith for salvation are to be condemned to hell. This is why those who are RC think that they will be the only ones in heaven.

There are many who think because they are included on the roll of a particular church whether it be RCC or Protestant, that they will get to heaven. But if people are trusting their church under the impression that they belong to the "true" church, then as far as God is concerned their name...

All church organisations are man-founded and designed. The early church was not an organisation as such. Believers gathered together for fellowship and learning. The only processes put in place was a group of elders to ensure the church was run decently and in order, and a group of deacons to...

You could use all that in your sermon next time you are set to preach at church!

Well, my church has six old ladies and 2 gentlemen, including me. So there is very little corruption there! :) All I have of Martin Luther is his commentary on Galatians. I have a whole bookcase full of different commentators that I read from time to time. As a matter of interest when I...

I see that you are pretty well convinced that the Roman church is the only true church descended from Peter and the Apostles, and that the Pope is the true representative of Christ (replacing the indwelling Holy Spirit by the way). I will ignore that the Vatican has more male and female...

The truth is that we see through a glass darkly. We don't see the full picture. Believing or not in a trinity as describing the essential nature of God is not compulsory for getting saved and born again of the Holy Spirit. The trouble is that some think they see the full picture as if God...

My church is a merging of the Methodist and Presbyterian churches in New Brighton, Christchurch, New Zealand. The New Brighton Presbyterian and Methodist churches were founded by groups of Christians wanting a church of their denomination in the area. As the result of the Christchurch...

No church has been founded on Peter. The true church, made up of all those who have received Christ as Saviour, is founded on the Rock Jesus Christ. Christ referred to Peter as a stone, but it was on the Rock of Himself as the Christ, the Son of the Living God, that is the foundation of the...

The English Reformers did their best to describe the nature of God when they formulated the Westminster Confession of Faith, but with any document that tries to formulate the Christian faith, it's going to be imperfect, because we have the treasure of the gospel within earthen vessels. I think...

In actual fact, "No Authority" refers to the RCC itself. It has absolutely no authority to declare itself the true church succeeding from the Apostles.

The fact of all this is that the nature and character of God remains largely a mystery. When the Holy Spirit inspired the Bible, He didn't think it important to let us know everything about God's essential nature. He has provided those aspects of God's nature that we need to know. The fact...

By way of interest: The early church started in Jerusalem, not Rome. Peter was just one of the Apostles in the Jerusalem church. It is interesting that when Paul and Barnabas went to Jerusalem to deal with the issue concerning the pressure from some Jewish "false" apostles on the Gentile...

That has already been answered, and you have shown that you don't accept the answers given.
