FIRST of all, Einstein – this is a quote from the St. Catherine Catholic Church Sentinel – NOT from the Pope. It was written by a parish priest from the parish of St. Catherine’s in Algonac, MI. Can’t you post ANYTHING without lying?? Secondly – it states that only those who believe in the...

Because the Church, which already existed in Acts 2 didn’t rely on Scripture to make the Lord’s Day our day of rest and worship. It relied on its God-given Authority (Matt. 16:18-19, 18:15-18, Luke 10:16, John 20:21-23) led by the Holy Spirit (John 16:12-15). As for Paul departing for Troas on...

And according to the Epistle of Clement, we read that ALL of the Apostles provided for the appointment of their successors: “Through countryside and city the apostles preached, and they appointed their earliest converts, testing them by the Spirit, to be the bishops and deacons of future...

Correct, Einstein. I never gave you anything regarding Adam and Eve. I was talking about ABRAHAM and Eve – and I proved you WRONG that neither of them “acknowledged” the things that were written about that. Eve never “acknowledged” that she was “Mother of ALL the loving”. Abraham never...

Apparently, you don't understand what "semantics" means. Your little game of "Claim" vs. "Acknowledgement" is a perfect example of semantics. However - you never expected to be Scripturally-SPANKED with the truth as I gave it to you regarding Eve and Abraham . . .

Where are you getting THIS nonsense?? The office of the Apostles was BISHOPRIC. That doesn't mean that they were the ONLY Bishops, Einstein. They appointed others. Peter appointed James as Bishop of Jerusalem.

Read post #384, Einstein . . .

Got caught at what, exactly??

WHERE did I say that he was James the Apostle?? This is just another little red herring to throw the conversation off-track because I proved you wrong again. Consider yourself historically-SPANKED . . .

No, Einstein - your link was an Anti-Catholic one because it takes the quote completely OUT of context. As I already explained to you - the caveat is that there is no EXPLICIT Scriptural mandate - but there are several IMPLICIT ones. Many doctrines are based on implicit Scriptural proof - like...

Not at ALL - I have Scriptural proof (Matt. 16:18-19). All YOU have is your failed semantic doublespeak . . .

WRONG. First of all, my ignorant friend – if you are a true follower of Christ, then YOU are a ROCK: 1 Pet. 2:5 As you come to him, the living Stone--rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him--YOU also, like LIVING STONES, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy...

That’s completely FALSE. According to Eusebius – James was succeeded by St. Simeon (Simon) of Jerusalem. He is the son of Mary and Clopas whom we read about in John 19:25. Eusebius also points out that is was PETER who appointed James Bishop of Jerusalem. Jesus appointed Peter to be in...

“Claimed” and “Acknowledged” imply the SAME thing. As usual when you’re losing an argument – you play semantic doublespeak. There is not ONE verse of Scripture nor is there ONE SHRED of Oral Tradition that supports your fallacy.

And WHO ever said that the Authority of the Pope is his “OWN” Authority?? On the contrary - I have shown repeatedly that Jesus transfers HIS own Authority onto Peter. NOT sure what you’ve been reading, Scott – but I’ll bet it’s another wacky Jack Chick tract . . .

Nobody is acting "high and mighty" - it's a God-given Authority. Jesus appointed Peter to be in charge, and as Acts 1:20 shows - the Apostles' offices are SUCCESSIVE. That means the Authority is transferred to the SUCCESSOR . . .

And, as I've repeatedly shown - that is a Biblically-bankrupt claim. Isaiah 51:1-2 calls Abraham a "ROCK." Do your homework . . .

Ummmm, you originally stated that Eve CLAIMED to be the "Mother of ALL the living". She NEVER did. You originally stated that Abraham CLAIMED to be "Father of a multitude of nations". He NEVER did. The question you have NOT been able to answer is the SAME: Why would Peter have to CLAIM to be...

John 16:13-15 But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth.h He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming. He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you. Everything...

Unlike YOU - I never come here with closed eyes. However, sometimes I have to pinch my nose before reading YOUR moronic posts. Closed sinuses - but never closed eyes . . .
