NONSENSE. Not only can we (and DO) trace our lineage back to the Apostles - we have illustrated that the 1st century Church was CATHOLIC and not Protestant - in belief AND practice. Complete with Bishops, Priests, Decons, the Eucharist, Confession, etc. And most of what the Councils dealt with...

UNLIKE many of the elitist anti-Catholics here - I don't go around proclaiming who is saved and who is condemned. That is for GOD ALONE to decide. However - if I were a gambling man, I wouldn't bet any money one somebody who violates Luke 10:16 . . .

The ones who Jesus rejects in Matt. 7:21 who claim to have followed Him and have done deeds in His name are the ones who reject Him by rejecting His Church, per Luke 10:16 . . . Luke 10:16 Whoever listens to YOU listens to ME. Whoever rejects YOU rejects ME. And whoever rejects ME rejects the...

The fact that there have been some bad Popes doesn't detract from Papal Authority. Those men will be judged by God. One of the original leaders of the Church was a Devil (Judas) - and he was hand-picked by Jesus. As for Scripture not being "in line" with Papal authority - you don't know your...

Nope. Tertullian went into heresy. He DID excoriate Pope Calixtus I - but he recognized his Papal Authority in his rant.

Just so long as you realize that I destroyed your LIE about the "groundwork being laid" for the Papacy in 533 AD. Oh - and the Pope's God-given Authority (Matt. 16:18-19) has never been "taken away". Study your history nextime and you won't get humiliated . . .

On the other hand - it might be Jesus who will ask YOU: Why did you reject me? He said of His Church: Luke 10:16 Whoever listens to YOU listens to ME. Whoever rejects YOU rejects ME. And whoever rejects ME rejects the ONE who sent ME."

AMEN.

WRONG. Not only does Irenaeus list ALL of the Popes from his time (circa 180 AD) all the way back to Peter in his Against Heresises - Tertullian's De Pudicitia (circa 220 AD) excoriates Pope Callixtus I, referring to him as "Pontifex Maximus" and "Bishop of Bishops". Let's not forget that Pope...

Jesus founded His Church 2000 years ago. St. Ignatius, 1st century Bishop of Antioch and student of the Apostle John, referred this this ONE Church as "The Catholic Church" in his Letter to the Smyrnaeans at the beginning of the 2nd century. MEN founded all of the Protestant splinter sects in...

Ummmm, this, coming from a person who is denying Church Authority . . .

Perhaps YOU can show us why the UNANIMOUS teaching of the Early Church Fathers spoke of . . . - The CATHOLIC Church - The Clergy/hierarchy (Bishops, priests, deacons) - The EUCHARIST - The Church of ROME having Primacy - Peter's primacy Does this sound like any Protestant demonination? And ALL...

Then, perhaps YOU can furhish us with the official document from the Roman Empire that gave birth th the Catholic Church? Yeah - that's what I thought . . . Ignatius of Antioch (Student of the Apostle John) Follow your bishop, every one of you, as obediently as Jesus Christ followed the Father...

Actually - I DO keep an eye on the news - the Leftist mainstream noews AND the conservative news services. I was mostly responding to your comment, "Racism has gotten really bad again". I think I proved that it's not. And I can produce equally-idiotic lists for just about every demographic...

Raicsm has gotten worse? NO. Race-baiting has gotten worse by racist groups like BLM and others on the Left . . . The Civil Rights war already was fought - and WON. The myth that "Sytemic" Racism exists in this country is nothing more than a tool of the Left to re-ignite racial tention for...

Welcome to the forum. The entire point here is that the commandment against graven images is a prohibition on the worship of false gods. As I stated before - God commanded Moses to make 2 Golden Cherubim to place atop the Ark and to create a Bronze Serpent and place it on a pole to heal the...

And since the OLDEST manuscript that exists of the original text is from the 6th century – 200 years AFTER Nicaea and Constantinople - your point can be debated. HOWEVER, let's assume your text is correct. The text YOU posted teaches the TRINITY. It begins with: "We believe in ONE GOD, the...

WRONG. I just quoted from the ORIGINAL Nicene Creed, which calls the Holy Spirit, "The Lord" - who is WORSHIPPED and GLORIFIED with the Father and Son. Only GOD is to be worshipped . . .

That's NOT what the Bible says. The Bible says that we are not to make graven images for the pourposed of WORSHIPPING them. If the creation of them was considered idolatry - then EVERYBODY, including GOD would be guilty. - God commanded Moses to make 2 Golden Cherubim to place atop the Ark. -...

And this is the DANGER when people who aren't qualified to assess the complexities of Early Church writings decide to fumble around and make a mess - which is exactly what YOU'VE done here. Let's bgin with Origen. It’s interesting that you should quote some of Origen’s heretical and heterodox...
