Hi, The Church is the one that Jesus started when he said to Peter: you are rock and on this rock I will build my church. Timothy was taught to entrust to faithful men what he was taught so that those faithful men will be able to teach others also. Even though at the time it was a "local...

Hi, The Catholic Church did not invent the idea that Mary was a lifelong virgin. It was "invented" in the Gospel of James written around 150AD. It has been a Christian belief since then. The debate that she wasn't a lifelong virgin is a new invention of men started about 500 years ago. Even...

I feel it is important to define "sacrament" before I respond. Sacrament: a religious ceremony or act of the Christian Church that is regarded as an outward and visible sign of inward and spiritual divine grace. For you to say "Christ never taught anything about ritualistic sacraments, or going...

Dear sir, I asked you: Who do you choose to decide what is heretical? You answer was: It is "every persons responcibility [sic] to know what is and is not Christianity and to be alert to wolves in sheeps clothing spreading false teaching." Since, according to your own statement, it is 'every...

Thank you. The 3rd century is when the word "pope" started first being used to describe the leader of the Christian Church. However, historically we know that from the 1st century there was always a leader of the Christian churches. We know from Tertullian's writings that Clement was ordained...

The Pope is the successor to the Apostle Peter. The Apostle Peter was the person who Jesus built his church upon, just like Jesus said he would do. The Church is the pillar and foundation of truth, just like scripture says. The Pope is a representative of The Church that Jesus built. Just like...

Dear sir, As you can see in post #24 I did not quote from the men currently running my church and their beliefs about water baptism. I quoted men and historical writings from two thousand years ago. One of these men, Ignatius of Antioch, was a student of the Apostle John. He is more credible...

Not kissing the hand of the pope or bowing to him does not make one a heretic. Many people that meet him don't do it. If you offer to shake my hand and I don't accept your offer that is MY sign of disrespect toward YOU. Even though I may choose to shake your hand, that does not necessarily mean...

I don't recall saying you were a heretic. Whom decides who is a heretic? The Apostles were able to do that. Who has that authority now? I don't know what your doctrines are so I can't answer your question. Only you can. :) Mary

Is not what you have given your opinion??? Are you a man? You interpreted Paul's words to mean what you believe to be The Truth. The Catholic Church is led by men. They interpreted Paul's words to mean what they believe to be The Truth. The men I quoted are called Apostolic or Church Fathers...

I still didn't get a reply so I guess it was a tough question. ;) As far as the dinner thing....I don't think my spouse would appreciate that. :) Mary

Hi, Post #24 sums it all up. Love, Mary

Translation: Marymog asks some very tough questions that I can't answer. Therefor I call her names. ;) Look up the definition of troll.....it is what you are doing. Would you like to talk about the subject at hand or would you like to keep trolling??? Love, Mary

Just trying to understand what you are saying. Thank you for the Christian like response; 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Mary PS...look up the definition of troll ;)

Hmmmmm......Asking legitimate questions is yanking someone's chain? Can you give a couple of examples when I yanked @mjrhealth chain? Especially on the topic at hand: Water Baptism Curious Mary

Hi, In what post did I say I wasn't Catholic? I think I have made it clear that technically I'm not Catholic since I have not yet been baptized into the Catholic Church, however, I am on my way. Why is your doctrine about baptism biblical and the Catholic Churches doctrine not biblical? Mary

OK. Did Jesus establish any churches? Respectfully, Mary

I think what you are saying is that Jesus didn't start an actual church in any town but Paul started many churches in many towns? Am I understanding you correctly?? Respectfully, Mary

Hi, Why do you trust the men and the doctrines of the men who started The Baptist Church? Why aren't the men and the doctrines of the men of the Catholic Church just as valid? Since the Baptist Church wasn't founded until 1600 years after the death of Christ, what took God so long to finally...

Oh goodness.:( Thank you. I appreciate your time and effort. Mary
