Thanks Redfan. I needed that :sweatsmile:

Mary! I've been looking for you. Nice to see you again. The voice of reason.... OK so, Married priests were Anglican and they've been accepted into the CC. If their wife dies,,,,,zippo. Same for Catholic Deacons, as I'm sure you know. I know all the rest of it. But the priesthood became...

Great post ! :Thumbsup:

Hi PS I went back to your other post and picked 3 or 4 verses and I'll go over them. I can't remember if I stated that predestination is in the NT. But it's always for PURPOSE or for HOW or for WHY but never for WHO.... If this method is applied to all verses, using context, the understanding...

What gospel is MORE MAN CENTERED than believing in a man named John Calvin? Believing IN A MAN.... Instead of Jesus who made everything He taught very clear... as did His Apostles and writers of the NT.

The five regions were: ALEXANDRIA ROME ANTIOCH CONSTANTINOPLE JERUSALEM They each had a Pope. As you've stated, the title became exclusive to the Bishop of Rome in about 380AD. Then the CC decided to call every Bishop of Rome POPE, going back to Peter. I think this is historically incorrect...

Of course the biblical answer is that Jesus gave the keys (which represent authority) to Peter. It certainly would seem that He desired that Peter be the head of the new church that had to be created because the Jews had denied Jesus as Messiah. We could also see that Peter is always named...

Typical. No scripture. Your OPINIONS really don't interest me. BTW....ALL MEN means ALL MEN. THE WORLD means THE WORLD. And there are many STUPID persons who will not accept the gospel (re John 3:16). So, that's the best you can do? Fine.

@Jude Thaddeus is correct in his statement in post 771. Councils were specifically called to OFFICIALLY state what the church believed. Especially at the time of Nicea, WHICH "POPE" would have had the authority to anathemize anything? None. I don't believe one office of Pope even existed...

Interesting conversation One2. By THE BRANCHES Paul meant the Jews, Israelites and Hebrews --- all those of the OT. God would use Gentiles to cause envy to the Jews of that time (Jesus' time) to bring them back because they denied their Savior. But this is not the only reason. Paul goes to a...

I don't consider myself to be Protestant. And I'm not willing to CHOOSE what kind of Christian I should be so as to take sides. For me there is no side. There is ONE GOD. We're all trying our best to serve Him. We make up doctrine... some is biblical, some is not. Every denomination could teach...

I agree that it was not officially the head. There were 5 important regions with 5 Bishops and no one Bishop was above the others. I'm speaking about before only one was made Pope to be the official head, in the 4th century -if I remember. However, if the other Bishops looked to Rome for advice...

Really? So why were priests allowed to get married until the year 1,200?? Babies were always baptized from the very beginning. §Apparently you don't know the history of baptism. It's really not important to me that you know it, so I'm not going to post it here. You should learn about it...

For instance Bread..... I knew about communion to the remarried way before anyone else did. (as others did in my circle). When did YOU find out about it? You don't know me. Stop telling me I don't know what I'm talking about.

Or those who know what's going on. And you shouldn't call anyone IGNORANT that you don't know. Bishops get orders from Rome.... It's succession of information - just like Apostolic succession. :sweatsmile: You can take what I say or leave it. Most times I'm not even replying to you.... You're...

Passing on gossip is a different sin than lying. But this is an old topic. I'll leave it at that. Most won't even study church history. They believe it ended with Revelation.

It's wrong to ask that priests not marry. There is no mention of this in the NT AND the REASON why the church decided in 1,200AD that they should remain single is for purely convenient reasons having nothing to do with spirituality. It's wrong to proclaim indulgences as if the Pope has a direct...

Re A LIE: I've been through this with you before and it'll end here.... A LIE is willfully telling an untruth. Most Protestants don't really KNOW what Catholicism teaches.... They've been taught incorrectly or they've read something wrong or whatever.... So they're not LYING,,,they're just...

I know both. Unfortunately. Did I say I know only one??
