    God told Moses on Mt. Sinai: Exod. 19:4-6 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is...

    Melchizedek IS an OT type of Christ. And so is Aaron the High Proiest. And so is Joseph. And so is David. Jesus has MANY OT Types, BUT - as I explained to you before - the NT fulfillment is ALWAYS mmore glorious and perfect than the OT Type - wuthout exception. This is also true with the...

    James uses the word, "Presbyter". Open up your dictionary. "Presbyter" and are synonyms - both in definition and etmologically. When you read Pauls description of the Ministry of Reconciliation in 2 Cor. 2:10 and 2 Cor. 5:18-20, you see the CONTEXT of what James was talking about.

    Jesus is absolutely the Head of Gis Church. HOWEVER - Here transferred power to His inner circle (Matt. 16:18, Matt. 18:15-18. Luke 10:16, John 16:12-15, John 20:21-23). Hr told Peter to: "Feed my lambd" (John 21:15) "Tend my sheep" (John 21:16) "Feed my sheep" (John 21:17) These are the...

    Time for another Bible Lesson . . . 1 Pet. 2:6 ... you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." In the Old Testament, there were three levels of Priests: - The High...

    I mentioned 1 Thess. 5:12, 1 Tim. 5:17 and 1 Cor. 12:2 to illustrate that what the Bible shows us: Tat Christ's Church indeed has a hierarchy. Although, I'm NOT surprised that the context was conpletely lost on you . . .

    Like I pointed out before - Since you adhere to man-made docteins loike Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, OSAS, etc. - you follow the men from the 16th century. who invented them Doctrinally - the Eartern and Western Rites are in full communion with each other. Celibacy is a matter of dicipline - not...

    WOW. That you cannot understand this is mind-boggling . . . Let's say that I stole some money from you. Now, the fact that YOU forgive me does NOT mean that I repented of this sin. Jesus gave His Disciples the power to forgive sins or to hold them bound (John 20:21-23, Matt. 16:19-19, Matt...

    Apparently, you don't understant the the bible was NOT written in chapter anf Verse. Allow me to educate you agaoin . . . Each Book of the Eible was written as a long letter. Chapter and Verse were added in the Middle Ages by the Catholic Church - the custodian of Holy Deposit of Faith (2 Tim...

    Your abject ignorance rears its ugly head once niore. Allow me to educate you - again . . . First of all - EVERY priest wears a ring as a sign that he is married to Chirst and His Church. Secondly - whereas priests in the Latin Rite must take a vow of celibacy - this is NOT the case for...

    Soooo, becayse Paul wrote, "In the person of Christ" instead of "By the authority of Christ - YOU think this makes a diufference? Apparently, you didn't actually READ both of the passages that I posted. Try to understand the CONTEXT here . . . In 2 Cor. 2:10, he states: “Whomever you forgive...

    ALL of those men were Catholics - although Tertullian was later carried away into the Montanist Heresy. As for WHO yoou follow - - If you believe in the false, man-made invention of Sola Scriptura or Sola Fide as defined by your Protestant Fathers - then you follow THEM. - If you adhere to the...

    Fair enough. Whever you're ready to prove the following from Scripture - I'll be right here.

    Transubstatiation as it pertains to the Eucharist is ONE thing - bit that is NOT what you were saying. YOU were implying that Catholics beliueve that the PRIEST must transubstantiate into Christ in order to forgive sins. So - if you're going to continuee arguing - then stick to your ORIGINAL...

    No "kid games" here. ALL I wish is for YOU to defend your unbiblical claim. As I told you before - your previouds claim cannot be supportedfrom Scripture: So now, you've chosen to run instead. I completely understand.

    HUH?? Who say anything about having to "transubstantiate" into God?? Paul is saying that they are forgiviung sins in the PERSON (Prosopone) of Jesus. This simply means that they are doing this by His Authoriity- on His behalf - NOT that they would have to actually transubstantiate into Jesus...

    Wow. All of your ignorant nonsense about "Papism", "godesses" and "mortal men" aside - you're still not a Catholic Christian. As I stated before - you belong to one of the tens of thousands of perpetually splintering sects of Protestant Christians whose doctrines have been invented since the...

    WRONG. In every instance where Jesus transfers His power and Authority to His Church – He is ONLY addressing His inner circle of Disciples and NOT the crowds (Matt. 16:18-19, Matt. 18:15-18, Luke 10:16, John 16:12-15, John 20:21-23). Not ONLY are Jesus’s words to Peter in Matt. 15:18-19 a...

    You can CALL yourself whatever you want – but that doesn’t make it true. There are men who “identify” as women yet they are STILL men - and vice versa. As for you being “Catholic” - the Catholic Church gets its name from the GREEK for “according to the whole” and “universal” - εκκλησια καθ...

    No -you didn’t give me an answer,’ You’re dodging the issue because your ridiculous claim is NOT provable by Scripture. YOU explicitly stated: If you’re going to make a claim like that ABOUT Scripture – then you need to prove it - FROM Scripture. The Bible simply does NOT teach this.
