I gave you documented evidence that Peter waas the first Pope. YOU claim to have evidence that he wasn't. PRODUCE the evidence and we'll discuss it. A foolish argument we've already discussed. As I educated you earlier - the word "Pope" is is NOT an official title. It is a term of endearment...

I was just asking him about which "contradictions" he is talking about. He wrote: "The jews have done what the RCC and many others have done . They all agree , or say to agree to torah , and yet they have their own added books which contradict SAID TORAH ."

With regard to the Catholic Church (not "RCC") - what would that be?

I wasn't arguing aganist that. The point is that His will is NOT always carried out here on earth because of our free will. Sin was never His will - but it entered the world.

2nd century Church Father, Irenaeus listed all of the Popes from his own time, back to Peter in his work, Against Heresies. Eminent Protestant scholar, J.N.D. Kelley lists Peter ass the first Pope in his book, Oxford Dictionary of Popes.

No - I promise to agree with you when you can PROVE your point. If you send me to a bogus site - I might be able to prove it wrong. Send me the documented evidence.

WHO said ANYTHING about prayers of the wicked?? I merely stated a Biblical fact: The the will of God is NOT always done one earth. At the Last Supper, Jesus (God) fervently prayed for the unity of His Church - that remain ONE as He and the Father are ONE (John 17:20-21) Was His will done - or...

That’s NOT accurate. In Calvin’s own words: “[W]e say that God once established by His eternal and unchangeable plan those whom He long before determined once and for all to receive into salvation, and those whom, on the other hand, He would devote to destruction.” (Institutes of Christian...

Funny you should mention 1 Cor. 10 in your condemnation of a hierarchy because, just TWO chapters later, Paul lists a hierarchy: 1 Cor. 12:27-31 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third...

WHO'S suggesting that? I'm the one who told YOU that they aren't in the Bible . . .

Doesn’t matter to ME if it means Ober-seer or Over-watcher. MY point all along is that MANT if not MOST nouns have multiple words to represent them. I have presented SEVERL examples: Couch/Sofa Carpet/Rug Groceries/Foodstuffs Things/Objects It is NO different with Episkopos and...

Not according to Irenaeus (Against Heresies) or J.N.D. Kelley (Oxford Dictionary of Popes). If they’re wrong – the onus is on YOU to prove it.

And what is your documented evidence for this? There isn’t a SINGLE reputable Protestant scholar who agrees with you.

No - just the word. The office has been around since Peter.

"Hyperion" means "he that walks on high" or simply "the god above", often joined with "Helios". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_(Titan)#:~:text=%22Hyperion%22%20means%20%22he%20that,often%20joined%20with%20%22Helios%22.

That's not what he said. And I thought Grailhunter's posts were dishonest and stupid . . .

whether there was ONE issue ot ten thousand issues is irrelevant. They were ONE Body prior to the East-West schicm in the 11th century. They simply existed in different places. Today, we call them "Dioceses". Another asinine point. The term "Trinity" developed after the Biblical era. The term...

The Catholic Church started in the Middle East - not the Roman Liturgical Rite. The underlined part of your comment is utter stupidity. Where ELSE would the Church in ROME it have started?? WRONG, Einstein. "Pope" is NOT even an official title. It is simple a term of endearment that means...

Uhhhhhh - NOT exactly. The literal translation of Episkopos means "Over-Watcher" - epi- "over" (see epi-) + skopos "one that watches". As I educated you earlier - MANY nouns (and verbs) have multiple words for the SAME THING. Couch/Sofa Carpet/Rug Groceries/Foodstuffs Things/Objects YOUR game...

WOW. Soooo, you DON'T know that the church was ONE entity until the East-West schism in the 11th century?? And you actually have the gall to debate Church history?? The Church IN Egypt and IN Corinth and IN Ephesus and IN Rome and everywhere else was Catholic. That's why the 1st century...
