Absolute nonsense – as well as a pathetic understanding of the NT Church. First of all – Jesus’s words to Peter were NOT confined to what Peter was allowed to reveal or NOT reveal. Jesus told him, WHATEVER you loose or bind on earth will be loosed or bound in Heaven. This means that - guided by...

This isn’t about a “greater Rock” or an “inferior Rock”. It’s about what Jesus told Simon bar Jonah. Matt. 16:18-19 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...

No - it's an observation, based on an anti-Catholic perversion of the Bread of Life Discourse in John 6.

No – I look at ALL the possibilities as revealed in Scripture. Unlike YOU - I’m not so arrogant as to make up doctrines on my own . . .

WRONG. When Jesus made this statement in John 6:63, He was telling the crowd to stop thinking as fleshly-minded people and to think spiritually, as God does. That's what "The flesh profits nothing" means. He WASN'T saying that HIS flesh "profits nothing". HIS flesh profits us EVERYTHING, as...

No - WE don't call Jesus a liar - YOU do. You employ a purely carnal understanding to a Spiritual truth. It's not physical, earthly life that He promised - but everlasting SPIRITUAL life. This is why Jesus tells the crowd - John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing...

That is a heretical, Modalistic view. The Father is GOD. The Son is GOD. The Holy Spirit is GOD. ONE God, manifested in THREE distinct Persons.

And regardless of the opinions of others –Pope Victor exercised his Authority. Pay Attention: He was the Bishop of ROME excommunicating the Quartodecimans in ASIA. If he wasn’t the Pope – he wouldn’t have had the Authority to do so, Einstein.

Victor I ruled on the Quartodeciman Controversy with regard to Easter in the 2nd century as Bishop of Rome (Pope). If course - in YOUR world, he never existed. What color is the sky in your world?

A "whole smarter" - REALLY??

You can pretend that I haven’t already addressed this but I HAVE. I referenced the Letter of Clement (3rd Pope) in about the year 85 AD, where he is making decisions about the Church in Coriinth was having issues with their clergy. Now, WHY would the Bishop of Rome interfere with a...

Everything you said here is just incendiary nonsense aimed at pushing buttons. I can't believe that anybody who claims to have read the Bible is that stupid. WHO said anything about Peter being the "Greater" Rock?? The "Catholic Church" certainly NEVER did. However - it might interest you to...

He would have a staff with administrative envoys?? An official signature and seal?? In the FIRST century, when Christianity was ILLEGAL and Christians were being martyred? What fairy tale have YOU been reading?? There first 30 or so Popes were martyred – Peter, being the first (crucified). It...

Nope - not what I said at all. I said that YOU lied when YOU said that the Church teaches that we are saved "BY" water. Even the excerpt above from the CATHOLIC Encyclopedia proves my point that the Church teaches that we are born again THROUGH the water of Baptism -- and not "BY" it. All of...

Thank you. The "facts" I included in my last post were all Biblical. You're right - they ARE my people . . .

I’m not a “skilled lawyer”. I’m just a Catholic who prefers to debate FACTS instead of preconceives prejudices. YOU obviously don’t. When I called you a ”nominal” former Catholic – it wasn’t meant as an insult. It was merely based on my observation of your perception of what you believe the...

Fair enough . . .

And as I stated in my last post – Paul wouldn’t even have mentioned standing up tp Peter had it NOT been for the fact that Peter was in charge of the Church. There would have been NO point in mentioning it. Another proof of the Papacy in the Early Church is the Letter of Clement of Rome...

And Paul would be the FIRST one to tell you that he doesn't. Why do you think he made such a big deal about opposing Peter "to his face" in Gal 2:11?? If Peter had been a subordinate - it wouldn't have been worth mentioning.

After reading your verbose response – a couple things are clear . . . 1. You MAY have once been a nominal Catholic – but you were an ignorant one. That’s why you left. Your post does NOT reflect the correct Catholic teaching. 2. It is abundantly-clear that you either didn’t’ read my post – or...
