    Peter the Rock?

    Once again, your response is drowning in a barrage of idiotic dance references. I guess that’s your was of deflecting. If you can’t address the issues – just admit it and move on. When you’re ready to have a grown-up conversation – let me know . . .

    Peter the Rock?

    As usual, your typical word salad does nothing but twist the truth to fit your preconceived ideas. I know you fancy yourself as some kind of philosophical intellectual – but it doesn’t work here . . .

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant, Part #1

    WRONG. James 2:19 makes this abundantly clear: James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder. If YOU believe but do not surrender and obey – you’re NO better off than the demons . . .

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant, Part #1

    That's a description of faith - NOT a definition. It doesn't even include "belief".

    Peter the Rock?

    First of all - your argument is based on a FALSE premise. The Catholic Church holds JESUS as our final Authority. YOUR blunder is in trying to dissect Jesus from His Church – which cannot be done (Acts 9:4-5). Jesus and His Church are ONE. He us the Head of the Body, the Church (Col 1:18). He...

    Peter the Rock?

    Other than being just plain stupid and impotent response – you have failed to answer my question. Let me know when you’re ready to have a serious discussion. Only next time – doo your homework and leave the salsa dancing at the door . . .

    Peter the Rock?

    And as usual - you have NO Biblical evidence to the contrary. Just idiotic “band” metaphors . . . Grooving to Jesus’s rhythm, actually. Maybe it time for YOU to start being obedient to Him and come home . . . Apparently – you simply ignored the Bible Lesson I taught you with regard to the...

    Peter the Rock?

    I did NO such thing – but you can pretend that I did. The only “torment” I endure from your posts is in holding my tongue - instead of pointing out your narcissism . . .

    Peter the Rock?

    All of your moronic euphemisms aside – Your entire argument collapses like a house of cards when you realize the following fact: Paul refers to Peter as “Cephas” in his letters. Tell me - WHY doesn’t he just call him “Petros”??

    Peter the Rock?

    Ummm – WRONG. Paul isn’t writing about self-exalted leaders here in 1 Thess. 5:12, 1 Tim. 5:17 OR 1 Cor. 12:28. It's about those who were appointed. Matt. 23:12 Is about those who exalt themselves . . .

    Peter the Rock?

    Of course non-Catholics are to blame for not understanding this passage. This is a falsehood that has been passed down since the dawn of the Protestant Revolt in the 16th century. Here is another verse that is continually misapplied by Protestants. First of all – Church hierarchy isn’t about...

    Peter the Rock?

    At this point – I’m convinced that all of your “cosmic comedy” and “cha-cha” dancing nonsense is just a way of deflecting from your failure to address the issues. ONE more time . . . Jesus never used the words “Petros” or “Petra”. As I already informed you – Jesus was speaking Aramaic in Matt...

    Peter the Rock?

    The Church’s leadership doesn’t ONLY consist of the Pope. There are Bishops and Priests in every diocese in the world who ALL have Authority. HOWEVER, the Bible tells us that Jesus appointed Peter to shepherd over His flock (John 21:15-19). The Bible doesn’t even make that claim about itself...

    Peter the Rock?

    continued . . . "The name Peter (not now first given, but prophetically bestowed by our Lord on his first interview with Simon (John 1:42), or Cephas, signifying a rock, the termination being only altered from petra to petros to suit the masculine appellation, denotes the personal position of...

    Peter the Rock?

    Protestant Scholars on Matt. 16:16-19 1. There is no distinction between "petros" and "petra." "In Aramaic 'Peter' and Rock are the same word; in Greek (here), they are cognate terms that were used interchangeably by this period." --Craig S. Keener,The IVP Bible Background Commentary New...

    Peter the Rock?

    Most non-Catholics don’t understand 1 Tim. 2:5 because of their rebellious nature. The “ONE Mediator” description of Jesus points to the fact that only HIS sacrifice can bring peace between the Father and us. HOWEVER – this does NOT mean that there are NO other mediators. The Bible gives us...

    Peter the Rock?

    Peter didn’t exalt himself. JESUS did. Now THIS a perfect example of why you have NO grasp of Scripture. Peter was specifically commanded by Jesus to pastor His flock. In the Great Commission (Matt. 28:19-20) - ALL of them were dispatched to teach and Baptize – NOT specifically to pastor His...

    Peter the Rock?

    Jesus isn’t the only “Rock” in Scripture . . . In Isa. 51:1-2, Abraham is referred to as the “Rock”. That doesn’t nullify Jesus’s title as the “Rock“ or “Cornerstone” – nor does Peter’s title of “Rock” nullify this.

    Correct. ALL Authority comes from Christ.

    Peter the Rock?

    Peter alone was given this Authority by Jesus (Matt. 16:18-19). Where is the Scriptural proof that YOU were given this Authority? Peter alone was charged with this duty by Jesus (John 21:15-19). Where is the Scriptural proof that YOU were given this task? Luke 22:31-32 “Simon, Simon, Satan has...
