They were the original Catholics. Acts 9:31 talks about how the Early Church grew throughout the region. The language used here describes the Catholic Church: “Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria experienced peace and thus was strengthened. Living in the fear of the Lord and...

Timne for a Bible Lesson . . . The Whore of Babylon is not a Church - but a city, a people. Apostate Jerusalem is the most likey candidate . . . 1. She "sits on 7 HILLS" (Rev. 17:9) - Vatican Hill is NOT one of the 7 hills of Rome: Aventine Hill, Caelian Hill, Capitoline Hill, Esquiline Hill...

Sooooo tell me – in 1 Peter 2:4, Peter says that Jesus is “the living stone rejected by men”. However – in the next verse – he says that we’re ALL “living stones built into a spiritual house”. Is Peter LYING? In Matt. 16:18. Jesus states emphatically: “I will build my church.” However, in 1...

You’re NOT a student of history - ARE you? In his treatise, Against Heresies in the SECOND century - Irenaeus lists all of the Popes from his own time all the way back to Peter. This isn’t “centuries later” – but then ay least you got to use a cool phrase like “ex post facto” . . .

Ummmm, you besically pasted the verse I was referring to. Soooooo, can you tell me where I got it wrong??

Although I don't p[ut a lot of stock in the whole climate change hysteria – it can HARDLY be considered “pantheism”. And although I'm nbot the big proponenet of animal rights - but I don't think St. Francis of Assissi was a "pantheirt" either. Anyway, it’s just another vehicle for you to push...

You guys are BIG on denial - but NO substance. Can you refute ANY of the Protestant scholarship I provided?

That is what we inthe apologetics world call a "denial without substance". Calling my positiona "crock" with nothing to back it up is sheer impotence. I gave you a list of Protestant scholarship on the matter - and they ALL agree with ME. Can you offer ANY evidence to the contrary?

Much of it has already taken place. Can you actually address aby of the points I made?

Absolutely - but we're not discissoing 1 Pet. 2. Jesus is the Rock in that passage. Peter is the Rock in Matt. 16:18. In Rev. 21, we see the Church - the New Jerusalem coming down from Heaven. It is buit on 12 Foundations - each with the name of an Apostle. It stands to reason that Peter is...

Peter is the "Rock" od Matt. 16:18 just as Abraham is the "Rock" of Isaiah 50:1-2 When in doubt - go to your own Protestant scholaarship on the matter . . . W.F. Albright (Protestant) and C.S. Mann “[Peter] is not a name, but an appellation and a play on words. There is no evidence of Peter or...

Sooooo, because Pope Francis wrote an encyclical about environmentalism – YOU believe this to be perverted or “pagan” doctrine?? That’s quite a stretch . . .

WRONG - not the Eastern Rites, as I already showed you . . . And it's NOT a matter of Dogma - but diccipline. NOWHERE does Paul make this claim. He simply states that he cannot be married to more than ONE wife. In the depths of your ignorance of 1st century culture - you don't understand that...

If the shoe fits - don't blame me . . . You have YET to explain this monsense. Accusations aren't worth the time it took you to type them until you have proof. Your goddess/dounder spent a LOT of time doung that, sp I' m NOT surprised . . .

WHO said the husband of one wife should be celibate?? CELIBATE Bishops should remain celibate. In the Latin Rite, Bishops and Proests are celibate - nut NOT in the Eastern Rites. The Latin Rite takes the advice of Paul in 1 Cor. 7, who said that a celibate man or woman can serve GoD i a more...

REALLY?? EVERY Protestant wedding I’ve ever been to – and I’ve been to DOZENS – involved WEDDING RINGS. As I explained to you before – this was a PAGAN SYMBOL that was absorbed by Christianity and given NEW meaning. How man PROTESTANT vehicles on the freeway have the “FISH” (ICTHUS) symbol for...

I ALREADY addressed this in my LAST post. It wasn't a requirement that they be married at ALL. IT was a requirement that they ONLY had one wife. They were PLYGAMISTS. Paul himself a celibate, advocates for celibacy amobg the leadershp in 1 Cor 7 - and STRONGLY, I night add, as a more...

This is what I’m talking about – and WHY conversation with you is such a waste of time. Need I remind you that it was YOU who to approached ME by responding to one of MY posts – not the other way around? My posts are filled with Scriptural, historical and linguistic evidence – while YOURS are...
