What is "literal" in this world certainly seems literal from this perspective, but that which is of God is not so measured. In the book of Revelation it is indicated that there is a difference in how men measure compared with how God measures: "The angel measured the wall using human...

So...God didn't make the seas and the land giving them matter by His power and light--the source of all matter--images from His own mind made manifest, a revealing of things on high? Rhetorical -- He did.

Tell that to Abraham who was promised to be a blessing to all the families of the earth, or Jesus who gave gifts to men that the gentiles would be saved. I was indeed referring to Pentecost, to tongues and peoples of many nations who only understood by the Holy Spirit--not just the apostles...

Hmmm...if I may... I don't have a JW bent or influence, but man was created in God's "image" and "likeness", God speaks in "parables", brings about real life stories such as crossing the Jordan and entering the promise land that are a "foreshadowing" of things on high and to come, gives...

4. An image or likeness. Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

That does not fit the "all peoples" requirement: A disqualification. The Holy Spirit speaks to each "in their own language." Thus, the Catholic interpretation is a mere delusion of exclusivity and "private." Others. "Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.”' And it is this...that is...

If you believe in God, believe that all of what exists He spoke into existence. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. John 1:3 And what does He also say? "For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known...

That's all true (except the "fairy tale" part). The problem is that the Catholic church has claimed exclusivity by their "private interpretation" of the scriptures. Ironically--sad really--how everything the Catholic church has violated, Peter spoke or warned against. Quite apropos.

The Deep State elite (also known by many other secret society names) has been controlling world events, such as wars, economy, governments, population, etc. for centuries. There have been many attempts to stop them: Lincoln, JFK, etc. and many assassinations, events like 911, Covid, etc. (rare...

Incidentally, the error then of the Catholic church was to believe and do what Jesus said was "not", meaning not "flesh and blood", thus, not Peter. You are welcome F R I E N D!

Here again are the questions with the answers regarding "who" assigns apostolic succession, according to what is written: What did Jesus tell Peter about Who, regarding the building of His church? "My Father who is in heaven." Who did the apostles appeal to in replacing Judas? "And they...

Because I have given a straight answer a thousand times, and been rejected by many. Therefore, I pose it as a question that can only be answered correctly one way, leaving one to believe themself if not me.

What did Jesus tell Peter about Who, regarding the building of His church? Who did the apostles appeal to replace Judas?

The point is-- apostolic succession is not passed on by men.

The above presents an opportunity to point out the cause of many errors in translation and understanding of scripture. While the words do seem to indicate that the slave would only be a slave for "the rest of his life." But it actually says and means "forever." Thus, by literary logic...you...

Well stated. I guess it would be fair to say--the only exceptions are made by God. Which is the point.

How many times must I correct your saying that I gave you my "opinion." I did not. I have explained many times what actually occurred in the exchange between Jesus and Peter. That Jesus was not primarily appointing Peter to be the Head of His church, but to be a leader among the body as a part...

The problem is the Catholic Church made the same assumption and mistake as Solomon and Israel, that the succession was of "flesh and blood."

Good--you know what is not the hole in the apostolic succession. Yet you have not expressed what it is, nor do you know it.
