And I have given you several Scriptural proofs of a hierarchical Church - yet you continue to reject the truth of Scripture. The fact that there are Episkopoi (Bishops), Presbyteroi (Preists) and Diakonoi (Deacons) being appointed in the NT is proof of this. Jesus spoke wisely of people like...

It’s a simple linguistic challenge. I’m showing you how little you understand about languages. As for Matt. 16:18 – Peter IS the Rock being spoken of. As I educated you earlier -= Paul confirms this by calling him “Cephas” in his letters. Cephas is a Greek transliteration (sorry for the big...

Your total confusion stems from your preposterous statement in RED. God didn't "need" a woman to enter into the world. He CHOSE to do it that way. Jesus, who is God, absolutely had His mother's DNA because He CHOSE to enter into the world like the rest of us. To be JUST LIKE US - in every...

Adding your own perverse spin doesn't change the Word of God. Christ left HIS Church with a hierarchy . . . 1 Cor. 12:27:31 Now you are Christ’s body, and individually parts of it. Some people God has designated in the church to be, FiRST, apostles; SECOND, prophets; THIRD, teachers; then...

In post #31, I gave you THREE Biblical proof texts. Soooooooo, why are you lying??

Uhhhhh – NO. You’ve given me your verbose opinions only. You have NOT presented a Scriptural proof explainging the that there are different kinds of men – other than human men. Produce the Biblical evidence- or simply admit that you have none and that you’ve been defeated again.

Wrong. Jesus chided the hypocritical Jewish leaders. He didn’t have a problem with leaders or hierarchy - and He didn’t leave His Church is disarray and chaos. He left the Apostles in charge (Matt. 16:12-15, 18:15-18, John 16:12-15, 20:21-23) and they, in turn appointed others to take their...

Try to stay honest, Scott – because I will expose you every time. You didn’t say that priests were servants. You were denying that James was differentiating them as priests and referred to them as mere “elders”. And I never even implied that priests were "better". I merely pointed to the...

Show me from SCRIPTURE that there are different kinds of men other than human. CAN you do that??

I already have you THREE examples. Why are you asking me for proof??

Try to stay honest – and try to stay educated . . . I NEVER said that I “knew for a fact” that there was never a person since Adam that was named Peter. I asked YOU to show me an example. CAN you?? I didn’t think so . . . As for Matthew’s Gospel in Hebrew/Aramaic – I stated explicitly –...

Hogwash. And that is exactly what a Catholic priest is – an “appointed servant”. James absolutely differentiates between the clergy and the laity in James 5: James 5:13-15 Is anyone among YOU suffering? He should pray. Is anyone in good spirits? He should sing praise. Is anyone among YOU sick...

Ummmmm, first of all – according to the 2nd century Greek Apostolic Father, Papias of Hierapolis – Matthew’s Gospel was originally written in Hebrew/Aramaic. The audience to which it was written was the JEWS – not Gentiles. Secondly – even if WAS written in Greek – you still have the whole...

Christ is our only MEDIATOR – because only His blood – His perfect sacrifice brings peace between us and the Father. HOWEVER – this does not mean that we don’t have other intercessors. We are ALL called to be intercessors for one another (James 5:16). Rev. 5:8 sho0ws those in Heaven...

I don't believe I accused you of a lying- but yes. MANY people tell lies about the Catholic Church. Here's a short list of some of the most common ones: - Catholics worship statues. - Catholics worship Mary. - The Catholic Church was started by Constantine in the 4th century. - The Catholic...

Once again - you're making up your own rules based on your abject ignorance of languages. This is the same problem you anti-Catholics have with Petros (small stone) and Petra (massive stone) in Matt. 16:18. You don't understand that the word "Petros" HAD to be used because it was referring to a...

And will ALL of your beefing, bolding and screaming - you have FAILED to show me an example of "another kind" of man. ALL men are human - and yet, YOU just wasted 2 LONG, verbose rants without proving otherwise. Come back when you can give proof of more than ONE type of "man" . . .

And YOU refuse to accept the fact that synonyms exist. The Word Adelphos is used in the New Testament a whopping 344 times. Adelphos means "brother" - and according to YOUR narrow logic - it can ONLY mean uterine sibling. HOWEVER, of the 344 times we see the use of the word “Adelphos” and all...

No - YOU'RE deflecting because you refuse to accept how languages work. Virtually EVERY language is like a living organism that is constantly changing and expanding. This is what Etymology is ALL about. Presbuteros ise used some 47 times oin the New Testament. Episkopos is used only FIVE...

Just because the text is not ultra-specific doesn't mean that you should add your own spin. I could do the same thing with just about ANY historical text - including American history. That's what revisionists do . . .
