The difference is that THEY made a decision for the CHURCH - not just for themselves. You ALSO glossed over the part of the letter were they said that some had gone out without AUTHRIZATION from THEM. THAT'S Authority . . . And I NEVER said it was on his Authority as an Apostle. He rebuked...

WRONG on BOTH counts. First of all, at the Council of Jerusalem - the Apostles made a decision. They made a decision BASED on Scripture and the teachings of Christ - but the decision was THEIRS. Don't forget their conclusions in the letter they wrote: Acts 14:24-28 WE have heard that some went...

WHO said anything about having authority in themselves?? They have the God-given Authority of Christ (Matt. 16:18-19, Matt. 18:15-18, Luke 10:16, John 16:12-15, John 20:21-23). And if you think they don't have an office of Authority - then you DON'T know your Bible. What do you think the...

WRONG. The authority rests on His CHURCH - which is His BODY and He is the HEAD. His Church is made up of people - not ideas. Matt 16:16-19 I will give YOU the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever YOU bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever YOU loose on earth shall be loosed in...

Yes - that's a popular, albeit ignorant, anti-Catholic myth. Peter is the "Rock" in Matt. 16:18. Allow me to educate you . . . First of all - his name was "Simon". Jesus changes his name in this verse when he tells him the following: Matt. 16:18 And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon...

WOW - what ignorance . . . Ummmmmm, the Donation of Constantine has NOTHING to do with Irenaeus or his work, Against Heresies, which contains his list of Popes going back to Peter. It has NOTHING to do with Tertullian's work, De Pudicitia, wherein, he refers to the Bishop of Rome as "Bishop of...

WHO told you that the New Testament is the Word of God? WHY do you trust those 27 Books as "Scripture"? The Bible says that the Church has Authority (Matt. 16:18-19, Matt. 18:15-18, Luke 10:16, John 16:12-15, John 20:21-23) - why do YOU reject that?

The office of Apostle was a successive office from the beginning. That's why, in Acts 1, we see the Apostles voting on a SUCCESSOR for Judas - not a mere "replacement". Acts 1:21 says, "Let another take his office". The word used here for "Office" is "Episkopay" (Bishopric). The office of...

Well, I would agree that God is using Trump and Pence to do His will - but I don't know that I would go so far as to call them "anointed." I think that word gets thrown around a bit too much. I DO agree with you that those who are against them are working contrary to God's will. The Democratic...

Matt. 5:54 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you This is typical of your Scripturally-bankrupt manure. Judging a person's actions is ONE thing - judging their soul is ONLY for God to decide. Matt. 7:2 warns people like you that YOU will be judge by the SAME...

And NONE of them have the history or the documentation to be able to make this claim - except for the Catholic Church.

STILL waiting for an answer . . .

This is absolute Biblical and historical fairy tale. In Acts 15, Paul and Barnabas went to the APOSTLES to deal with the issue of the Judaizers. They didn't "handle" this on their own. This is a perfect example of how the Early church made sure that they were ALL on the same page doctrinally...

Thanks. That proves TWO things: 1. Your claim that there is "silence" on the matter is false. 2. You are totally incapable of offering a Scriptural refutation of my Scriptural argument. Thanks again for the admission . . .

Funny - the ones that have had "enough" of me - are ALWAYS the ones whom I've exposed for nonsense or flat-out falsehoods. Your endorsement of public evil like Ruth Bader Ginsburg only serves to PROVE my point. Congratulations . . .

Let's deal with your blasphemous remark first - then we'll deal with Mary . . . Paul didn't "make Scripture". He merely wrote it down. GOD is the Author of Scripture - NOT Paul - but your worship of Paul is noted. As for WHY Mary was a perpetual Virgin - because Scripture is perfect. As we...

1. Statues are USUALLY meant to honor people - just like the statues of the so-called "Reformers" at the Reformation Wall . . . 2. People don't bow to statues - they bow in prayer in front of a statue. 3. I don't know about "generating" them - but veneration is to whom they represent. 4. I've...

I haven't read one "evil" remark about her on this thread. I've only read about the evil that SHE perpetuated on the court - which was plenty

Ay, ay, ay - another historically-warped response. I'll ask YOU the same question I asked your fellow anti-Catholic, @Candidus: WHY don't you accept those 7 Books as inspired Scripture? WHO told you that they weren't inspired? I've never met the Protestant who was able to give an...
