I didn't "switch" any of God's words around. I presented the Scripture - plain and simple. EVERY instance of the words "Teacher" and "Father" I gave is straight out of the Bible. If that "confuses" you - then you need to take that up with GOD - not me. If Jesus forbade us to call anybody...

Have you read ANY of the posts on this thread. That anti-Catholic argument has already been destroyed several times now. Here it is again for your review . . . In Matt. 23:8-9, Jesus is using hyperbole (exaggeration) to make a point and does so many times in Scripture. In verse 8, Jesus tells...

Matt. 28:19-20 "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Best to always obey Christ . . .

More nonsense from on of the more ignorant and angry posters on this board. The 13 ONLY appointed Jews?? Ummmm, one obvious example of your lie is Evodius, who succeeded Peter as Bishop of Antioch was a PAGAN - not a Jew. He was succeeded by Ignatius of Antioch in 66 AD in whose letters, we...

BINGO. And I cite the Pope as another example of a saint being given accolades even though he doesn't seek them. He is the Servant of the servants of God. It's "wrong" to tell a Catholic to go back to their faith?? That's just another stupid anti-Catholic remark - and yet another reason I...

Soooo, it's "okay" for Billy Graham to have tens of thousands of screaming fans because he has dedicated his life to bringing people to the Lord - but it's NOT okay for the Pope to have tens of thousands of people looking for his leadership?? Can YOU say, "Hypocrisy?" By the way - I always...

And if you think that the Pope "seeks accolades" for what he is doing - virtually EVERY Pope can be quoted as NOT wanting this "honor". They served out of love for God and the needs of the Christian world. Being crippled by such an anti-Catholic bias as you are - YOUR viewpoint is unrealistic...

Because, UNLIKE the Pharisees who placed these kinds of requirements before the people - kissing the Pope's ring is NOT a requirement but merely a sign of respect. A person who lives for the glory of God will always glorify Him. My mom just died a couple of weeks ago and the outpouring of...

Not ONE part of 2 Cor. 1:18-22 makes your case that every promise Christ made applies to EVERYBODY. You are reading things into this passage that simply aren't there. Tell me something - WHY didn't Christ give final instructions to the crowds before ascending to Heaven in Acts 1 - At Pentecost...

That's another LIE. I have proven this time and time again. Remember this?? When the Apostles and the inner circle gathered to choose a successor for Judas in Acts 1, this is what they said: Acts 1:20 For it is written in the Book of Psalms: ‘Let his encampment become desolate, and may no...

The Pope and the Bishops don t place themselves above Gos. One of the Popes official titles is, "The Servant of the Servants of God." He is OUR servant.

My mistake. HOWEVER - the passage above doesn't make the claim YOU are making either. It doesn't say that everything Christ promised to everybody applies to "everybody." Read it in plain English: 2 Cor. 1:18-22 But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.” For the...

Your entire argument falls flat on its face because you refuse to see that Jesus WAS using hyperbole when speaking about the Scribes and Pharisees. They were exalting themselves ABOVE God - our Father and Teacher in Heaven. That was Christ's whole point. It wasn't about calling a person...

The Church nor only has the right to say who is part of the Body - but she has the God-given AUTHORITY to make this declaration. WHATEVER YOU BIND on earth will be bound in Heaven and WHATEVER YOU LOOSE on earth will be loosed in Heaven (Matt. 16:19, Matt. 18:18, John 20:23).

This verse says NOTHING about ALL followers of Christ being given the power to forgive sins. It doesn't even imply this. This passages is about not swearing by ANYBODY - but that your word is enough.

And this is a big fat LIE and the reason I don't take you seriously as a student of Scripture - OR as a sincere poster on this forum. I have addressed this point - AD NAUSEAM to you and a host of others - yet you STILL claim that I "haven't explained" it. ONE more time . . . In Matt. 23:8-9...

WRONG. Not only does the NT teach Apostolic Succession - it ALSO teaches that there IS a distinction between the clergy and the laity . . . When the Apostles and the inner circle gathered to choose a successor for Judas in Acts 1, this is what they said: Acts 1:20 For it is written in the Book...

Such as??

Jesus equates His very SELF with His Church (Acts 9:4-5, Eph. 1:22-23, 1 Tim. 3:15).

The Church IS a BODY of followers of Christ. The Church is NOT a disjointed gaggle of tens of thousands of perpetually-splintering Protestant denominations that ALL teach different doctrines yet ALL claim to be "led" by the Holy Spirit. We are saved by faith and obedience of faith. Faith =...
