As discussed backk in post #52 - ALL sin - whether it is against man oir God is against GOD - the final Judge. If you fornicate with your brotheer's wife - you have sinned against God and against your brother. If you steal money from your brother - SAME thing. ALL wrongdoing is sin (1 John...

Apparently, you've never actually READ yout Bible. Allow me to educate you . . . Jesus gave SUPREME Earthly Authorty to the leaders of His Church. He told them that WHATEVER THEY bound or loosed on earth would be bound and loosed in Heaven (Matt. 16:19, Matt. 18:15-18, John 29:21-23). He told...

This is so typical of you. Why the evasion?? Why s it SO difficult for you to tell me WHO told YOU which Books belong in YOUR Bible. I dind't ask abpout the Catholic Canon or the Orthodix Canonm, etc. The Bible YOU use - WHO told YOU that this was the correct Canon of Scripture? How do YOU...

I agree with you that humans can be wrong and there are bad people in every Church. The Church has had bad people within it from the beginning. Jesus hand-picked Judas whom He later called a "Devil" (John 6:70). The Church itself has ALWAYS been a Hospital for sinners. HOWEVEER - the...

According to tke PROTESTANT work, World Christian Encyclopedia, by David B. Barrett, published in 1982 by Oxford University Press. - there are some THIRTY THREE THOUSAND (33,000) denominations. To be fair - some sources have a lower number - yes others have an even higher number. ONE thing is...

Hmmmmm - another dodge. Why can't you just answer the question for yourself?? WHO told YOU which Books beloong in the Bible? How do YOU know which Books beloong in it?

Yup - that's whay I expected. Because I nailed you with actual Scripture - and not just moronic opinions about sin like YOU did . . .

HUH?? That's the most ridiculous - and UNBIBLICAL thing I've ever heard. Where does the Bibleteach this?? WHO told you which Books beloong in the Bible? Just answer the question - or CAN you?

Then tell me - WHOT are there literally tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering Protestant sects that ALL teach different and competing doctries based on the personal iterpretations of their founders?? If every person is to learn SOLELY from the Scriptures - WHY all the...

WRONG. ALL sin - whether it is against man oir God is against GOD - the final Judge. If you fornicate with your brotheer's wife - you have sinned against God and against your brother. If you steal money from your brother - SAME thing. ALL wrongdoing is sin (1 John 5:17) - whether it is against...

Extra Ecclisiam Nulla Salus is NOT that difficult to understand. Acts 9:3-5 Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” And he said...

Thgis simply isn't true. ALL of the Apostles's offices were successive. Tell me - why is history ONLY true for the secular world - but NOT for the Church? For example - history tells us that Ignatius succeeded Peter as Bishop of Antioch. Irenaeus, writing in the 2nd century in his treatise...

Bishop/Overseer are synonyms. Thatr's what a Bishop is. As to your question above in RED - NO. The Apostles - the original Bishops - continued to appoint Bishops for every region that they ministered to. In 1 Tim. 3, Paul explains the criteria for these Bishops that they were ordaining.

How did YOU learn what sin is? The Bible? WHO told you which Books belog in the Bible? We don't just read and guess theese things. We learn from those in the Church who have been appointed to teach us (1 Cor. 12:28, 1 Thess. 5:12, 1 Tim. 5:17).

I didn't ask you to prove a negatve. I asked you to show me a ministry in the OT or NT that wasn't successive. Apostpolic Succession CAN be proven in the Bible. In Acts 1 - 120 members of Jesus's inner circle, which included the Apostles gathered to chose a successor for Judas. This was NOT...

This is a tough question for Protestants because of your rejextion of God-given Authority. As the Bible admionishes us - there IS a hierarchy within the Church and there ARE those who are"over us" in Christ: 1 Thess. 5:12 We ask you, brothers, to respect those who are laboring among you and who...

Sooooo, what makes you think that Catholics believe that Jesus’s Authority is successive? Jesus is ALSO out High Priest (Heb. 14:14-16), modeled after the High Priest according to the Mosaic Law. He is the FULFILLMENT of the Law (Matt. 5:17). Jesus doesn’t just fulfill one or two of the OT...

My lunch is over - and I have to get back to work now. I will give you a full explanation in a couple of hours when I get off. Talk to you them . . .

Like I siad - the severity must be taking into consideration. Yes, stealing a person's last dollar can be as severe as taking a million dollars gtom a rich man. Same with sex/lust, murder/self defense and every other occasion of sin or wrongdoing. Gossipping about what you think about...

No - so far, you have been charitable. I was speaking generally. I see a LOT of dishonesty here - especially when it comes to Catholic-bashing. You were honest enough to retract your statement.
