    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    That is a truly ignorant sdyayement Most historians don't even make that claim because ut us impossible to know. We don't even have a complete original text. Secondly - wheter the original manuscriptut of Matthew was written in Greek or Aramaic - or Chimese is completely irrelevant. MOST...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Okay, Einstein - explain why He used words like - "Talitha koum"- Mat 5:3 "Ephphatha" Mark 7:34 "Eli, Eli lama sabathani" verse Matt. 27:46 That ain't Greek . . .

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Show me where I mad this claim - or apologize for LYING. You keep raving on like a lunatric. I NEVER said the things YOU are claiming and I didn't present a strawman. I merely educated you about the fact that Jesus spoke ARAMAIC to His Apostles. "Kepha" is an Aramaic word - NOT Greek.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Show me where I made tgis statement - or apologize for LYING. Are you sure about that?? History tells us a DIFFERENT story . . . Early in the 2nd century, Papias, bishop of Hieropolis in Asia Minor, wrote: “Matthew compiled the sayings [of the Lord] in the Aramaic language, and everyone...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    A truly ignorant statement. It's clear you know NOTHING about Catholic teahing or you would never have made such a bankrupt claim. Sacred Tradition NEVER supercedes Scripture - not does the reverse ever occur because God's trith is ALWAYS true.. For starters – you FIRST need to refute the...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    After I schooled you about Jesus speaing Aramaic - YOU implied that he spoke a mix of both. From post #1326: "Guess what? The predominant language in Galilee in the 1st. Century was Koine Greek and Aramaic" Jesis called Peter "Kepha", which is Aramaic for "Rock".

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Huge LIE. An "idol" is somthing that ius worshipped. We don't worship Mary. We simply ask herfor intercession - the SAME way YOU woud ask your loved one for intercession. Don't add LIES to your lack pf faith . . .

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Time for another Linguistics Lesson . . . Jesus spoke ARAMAIC to His Apostles. We have examples straight from the Gospels of Jesus using Aramaic words to the Apostles and the crowds - “Talitha Koum “(Mark 5:41), “Ephphatha” (Mark 7:34), “Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani” (Matt. 27:46) and elsewhere...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Time for a Bibe Lesson and a Linguistics Lesson . . . First of all, you need to remember that Jesus and the Apostles didn’t speak Greek to each other. They spoke Aramaic. In Aramaic, the word for “Rock” is “Kepha”, period There is NO distinction between large or small rock. The NT was written...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    If it’s an exposition of “error” – then you must be able to easily-refute it Scripturally. Go ahead . . . WRONG. The Church holds Scripture and Sacred Tradition on the same level, as they are BOTH revelations of God's Word. As for Gen. 3:15 - actually, the more accurate translation is “They”...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    The Ark of the Covenant carried symbols of God’s power within it. It had to be inlaid with pure gold and purified and blessed. How much MORE pure and blessed would the vessel that actually carried GOD Himself be? OT - The Tabernacle that housed the Ark was overshadowed by the cloud of glory of...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Matt 16:16-19 And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. WHATEVER YOU BIND on earth shall be bound in heaven; and WHATEVER YOU LOOSE on earth...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    This is why the Early Church considered the Church at Rome to be Authority: Ignatius of Antioch You [the See of Rome] have envied no one, but others have you taught. I desire only that what you have enjoined in your instructions may remain in force (Epistle to the Romans 3:1 [A.D. 110])...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    In personal practice – everybody is capable of error. Peter was wrong when he wouldn’t eat with Gentiles because of the way he might be perceived. Doctrinally-speaking, however, the Church has never taught “rubbish”. It is incapable of teaching error – otherwise, Jesus is a liar (Matt. 16:19...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    You can choose to live in denial and dishonesty – but the facts are clear. The man who impregnated your mother is your FATHER – and YOU are commanded to honor him. The person who taught you how to spell was your TEACHER. Unfortunately – they failed . . .

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    That's because you have your “anti-Catholic glasses” on. In John 21:15-19, Jesus asks Peter THREE TIMES to = “Feed my lambs” “Rend my sheep” “Feed my sheep” He singles out Peter – and Peter ALONE for this task. The same Peter to who He said the following: Matt 16:16-19 And so I say to you...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    So, what we gave here is either blatant dishonesty or total ignorance of the Word of God. In YOUT case – it’s BOTH. When Jesus told the crowds not to call men “Father” or “Teacher” in Matt. 23:8-9, He was chastising the Pharisees who placed themselves ABOVE our Father and Teacher in Heaven. He...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Jesus said the following to the leaders of the Church He was building: Luke 10:16 Whoever listens to YOU listens to ME. Whoever rejects YOU rejects ME. And whoever rejects ME rejects the ONE who sent ME." The choice is indeed yours . . .

    Clerical Celibacy

    I couldn't agree with you more. Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Eternal Security - ALL unbiblical doctrines that are man-made Protestant inventions that people like YOU adhere to.
