Sooooo - how does this "refute" what I said about priestly powers? I acknowledged that members of the Body have gifts, per 1 Cor. 12:27-31. By the SAME token and by the SAME verses - NOT all have the same roles . . . 1 Cor. 12:28 And God has placed in the church FIRSTof all APOSTLES, second...

WRONG. The context of Matt. 18:15-18 is about Authority - not forgiveness. Forgiveness is the the side issue here. Chapter 18 starts out with the disciples arguing about who is the greetest in the Kingdom of Heaven. After Jesus sets them straight about that with a lesson about temptation and a...

Another idiotic comparison. We live 2 millenia from the time of Peter. Shaking hands, saying "Goodbye", kissing the Pope's ring, High-fiving - these are are ALL examples of customes that weren't around 2000 years ago. Popes didn't even HAVE rings 2000 years ago - it's a custom that came MUCH...

Christ IS the Head of the Church (Col. 1:18). He gave HIS Authortity to the Apostes and His innnercircle, who were the first leaders of His Church. Make NO mistake - that leasdership IS successive - and it's not "against" the Word of God. In Acts 1, we read that the Aposles and over 100 others...

No - either bad speeling on your oart - or your usual ignorance. If you meant, "Ignatius" - then SAY, "Ignatius" I have NO idea who "Igneous" is . . .

That statement is as stupid as me tellig YOU that you're "wrong" about loving your wife. How could possibly know that MY reason for kissing the Pope's ring would be "wrong"?? Think about it . . .

Who's "angry"? Certainly NOT me . . . And I'm not trying to "change" anybody here, either. As I told you before - my ONLY mission here is to expose your lies and the lies of others and so that others who come here to read these posts don't get seduced by them . . .

No - you responded but you didn't refute . . .

That's NOT what the Bible says - on BOTH counts . . . To your first point above in RED - the Bible says: Matt. 18:15-18 "If your brother sins (against you), go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one...

Besides being the usual vat of dishoest manure - your post was the usual long-winded rant. And WHO the heck is "Igneous" - and what was his "Vision"??

And this whole asinine post can se summed up by responding to your last comments in RED. So, did Jesus come to BE served - or to serve (Matt. 20:20)? Did He have Authority over His Church - or was He srtripped of this Authority because He was a servant?? One of the Pope's official titles is...

Sure you do. YOU weren't given the power to forgive or retain sins. YOU weren't given the power to confect the Eucharist. YOU weren't given the power to pray over the sick and anoint them so that their sins would be forgiven. These p[owers were given to the Leaders of Christ's Curch - and NOT...

Yes, you keep "lol"-ing - but you couldn't refute what I said about the fact that. . . Jesus didn't give the crowds the ability OR the Authoirity to confect the Eucharist. That was reserved for the Leaders of His Church (Matt. 26:26–28, Luke 22:19–20, Mark 14:22–24, 1 Cor. 11:23–25). Jesus...

WHY would I "blame" Peter for anything? And I don't need to exalt him - Jesus already did that (Matt. 16:18-19, Luke 22:30-31, John 21:15-19). STUDY your Bible . . .

The entire devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary points to CHRIST. Every parish church named after a saint is GOD'S house, named merely to commemorate the example of faith of that saint. Well - that's what you ALL keep saying here - yet not ONE of you has been able to refute the linguistic...

And AGAIN, you've missed the point. I didn't say that the laity doesn't have spiritual gifts. I asked you WHY Jesus didn't send out the crowds - but ONLY Seventy-Two? WHY did Jesus ONLY pick Twelve as His Apostles - and NOT Five Thousand? 1 Cor. 12:28 Some people God has designated in the...

WRONG. A good number of them DID believe. We know this from John 6:66, which tells us MANY of them abandoned Him and "returned to their FORMER WAY of life". Sooooo WHY didn't Jesus also send THEM out with the Seventy-Two? So, instead of "Lol-ing" - just answer the question.

I don't "deny" anything. Kissing the Pope's ring has MORE than a single meaning. It acknowledges his God-given Authority (Matt. 16:18-19, John 21:15-19). It is a sign of love and respect. Since when does kissing equal "worship"??

No - He only sent out SEVENTY-TWO - not ALL the crowds. Those Seventy-Two were the firsat Leaders of the Church, along with the Apostles. Church historian Hippolytus lists them by NAME. Among them are Ananias, who Baptized Paul, Matthias, who succeeded Judas and Stephen, the first Martyr.

And we Catholics rejoice in the fact that Jesus isn't confined ONLY to what is written . . .
