The priesthood of Christ and the duties of the apostles are not the same things. Apostolic succession is a myth.

Who "put salvation on works?" And what works? (And what does that even mean?) The only works I ever get accused of urging is Sabbath rest, which is the opposite of work. Because the Bible does. It's been demonstrated thousands of times; dozens by myself. Because the Cross is (while doubtless...

This is all quite amusing considering the premise of the original post of this thread. Seems to nullify the whole affair entirely.

Spin. What about confession and transubstantiation, to name 2?

Vagueries. Not a mention of apostolic succession. Not a word.

This is a classic case of straw man argument. All those who believe that the power of the cross does more than just forgive sins are accused of "saved by works" heresy and called "Cross Deniers." This does little to aid in meaningful discussion and, in fact, does positive injury to it. What a...

The Catholic clergy claim more than just administrative pursuits. I thought that was common knowledge.

Israel had no earthly king in the time of Moses. Clamoring for an earthly king is what got Israel into the mess they were in by the time Christ came into the world. Your texts are all circumstantial evidence, at best. Piling up vagueries is not conclusive proof. Apostolic succession is a...

That was just an example. I don't know his circumstances. I do know that forced testimonies are not testimonies at all.

People can call themselves whatever they like. And they do. The Barna Research Group is a huge Christian polling firm. They estimate that only 5% of any given sect or creed are devout. That means 95% are calling themselves Christians and are virtually not truly Christian. You're contradicting...

How about: It's none of my business what JBF does in his time away from his computer, especially if he conscientiously objects to divulging it. Consider the possibility that what you're insisting upon him doing might just be inappropriate. Some people are disabled and can't be very active in...

"Ecclesial lineage" doesn't exist. It's a fantasy. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, (1 Timothy 2:5)

No, Jesus is our "Pope." Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. (Hebrews 7:25)

1Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of...

This is just plain mean, C. Give it some thought.

Can't we go back 6000 years? Genesis 3 14So the Lord God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All the days of your life. 15And I will put enmity Between...

Just a sweeping generalization that's not true at all. Most Protestants don't even believe the Bible is authoritative, much less some non-canonical writings. Human beings believe what they want to believe. Don't we all have to decide for ourselves what we believe? One person esteems one day...

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control."

John just came from out of nowhere. No one was talking about John. Why is it not St. Paul's community or St. James's? And what do antichrist, apostasy, last days, and communion have to do with "St. John's community?" Please try to answer along one train of thought.
