Then you don't underestand the Word of God. The crux of 2 Cor. 5:18-20 and 2 Cor. 2:10 is about reconciliation and forgiveness. In a sweeping, general sense - the entire NT s about evangelism - but that doesn't mean every verse is. Learn to properly divide the Word of God . . .

YOU have repeatedly accused ME of living in the past - yet it's YOU who can't seem to understand that this isn't the first century. A Pope "cruising" the city streets on his own would cause a stir - and NOT necessarily a good one, depending on where he is. He oversees the needs of over a...

WRONG. Nobody is "rationalizing" anything. First of all - as I've had to remind some of your fellow anti-Catholics - the Bible wasn't written in English. The Hebrew text of Psalm 109:8 uses the words "let another take his position of oversight". BOTH the Greek Septuagint (OT) text AND the...

And Jesus didn't leave HIS Church without earthly representation - in utter chaos. MEN did that in the 16th century.

Yes - but that's NOT what it says in Acts 1:20. The Greek word used there is "office". An "office" is successive.

Another sanctinious lecture from a dishonest guy who keeps trying to perpetuate the LIE that Catholics "worship" the Pope - even thought you've been corrected on the matter SEVERAL times now. You are te picture of self-righteousness. Now I know what it must have been like to endure the...

Nonsense. Not only did I give you three Scriptural example - here's another one that I showed you back in post #1182: In Acts 1, we read that the Aposles and over 100 others gather to elect a successor for Judas. In verse 20, Peter quotes the Psalms when he says: Acts 1:20 "Let another take his...

Thaks for correcting your spelling - but it's STILL untrue. The Pope is the Pope over the WHOLE Church - not just the Gentile portion.

Once again, Einstein - It's a CUSTOM - not a requirement.

2 Cor. 5:18-20. isn't about evangelism - it's about the ministry of Reconciliation. In other words - it's about the forgiveness of sins, per John 290:21-23, when Jesus breathed on the Apostles and gave them the power to FORGIVE or RETAIN sins in His name. As I illustrated earlier - there are...

Another unrealistic and ridiculous comparison. We live in an age of mass and social media, sophisticated weaponry - not to mention the 100% probability of a RIOT occurring if the Pope was to simply "nonchalantlt cruise around" the streets as YOU so foolishly suggest. For your information - the...

You say this out of Scriptural ignorance and nothing else . . . Pharoah was ruler of Egypt. Joseph was his chief representative. God gave Eliakim was given the Keys to the House of Israel - so HE opened NONE should shut, and whatever HE shut remained shut. GOD was the Head over Israel. Jesus...

Nonsense. What Jesus said in Matt. 19:18-19 has NOTHING to do with what James wrote in James 5:14 or what Paul wrote in 2 Cor. 5:18-20. James clearly talks about the "Presbuteros" praying over, anointing and bringing about the FORGIVENESS of sins of the sick - NOT the laity. Paul explicitly...

In other words - you don't have an intelligent response. That's what I thought . . .

What are you talking about? The Catholic Church has never taught that Peter was anything BUT a Jew. Anyway - YOU complaining about "dishonesty" is like bank robber copmplaining that he got ripped of at the toll booth . . .

Cornelius tried to WORSIP Peter. We don't "worship the Pope. BIG difference. Do YOU greet everyone with a "Holy kiss" as Scripture instructs (Rom. 16:16) - or do you just hug or shake hands or fist-bump? As I educated you in my last post - customs change - but that doesn't make those customs...

Jesus instituted ONE Church 2000 years ago. Rebellious MEN instituted their perpetually-splintering denominations some 500 years ago. Only ONE has God-given Authority.

That's NOT what the Bible says (James 5:14-15). Paul also disagrees with you . . . In the following verses, he makes the case for priestly ministry of Reconciliation clearly in 2 Cor. 5:18-20: “And all this is from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given US the ministry...

Did you even bother to READ post 1186?? Here it is again . . . ths time - pay attention: In verse 19-20, Jesus is referring to verses 15-16, where it talks about settling matters between 2 brothers. It is NOT referring to verses 17-18, where He is talking about Church Authority. In other...

Very dishonest of you... How is that "dishonest"? In verse 19-20, Jesus is referring to verses 15-16, where it talks about settling matters between 2 brothers. It is NOT referring to verses 17-18, where He is talking about Church Authority. Pay attention . . .
