Impotent denials won't work anymore, Stranger. I want you to address the facts I have presented. Your pathetic little denials are CRUSHED by the overwhelming Biblical evidence for Peter's Primacy. Let's see you present some actual Scriptural, linguistic or historical evidence instead of your...

Not good enough. YOU stated: "Peter didn't steal anything. The Roman Church did. " This is nothing but YOUR opinion. Enlighten me with some "facts" about how the Catholic Church "stole" authority.

Your arguments are always built on YOUR rejection and nothing else. Why don't you try to actually build a case against the overwhelming Scriptural, linguistic and historical evidence I have presented. a. Tell me WHY Jesus singled out Peter when He gave him the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven...

How so? Please enlighten me . . .

Well - I HAVE answered everything you have asked of me. I have repeatedly asked you to tell me which questions I haven't addressed and you have refused to do so. As for Jesus OR the Church - there is no such thing. Jesus equates His very SELF with His Church (Acts 9:4-5). The Church is the...

WRONG. The Apostles' name was SIMON. Jesus said: Matt. 16:17-18 Jesus said to him in reply, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are KEPHA, and upon this KEPHA I will build my church, and the...

Same here. However, there are others like the local, state and federal authorities. YOU claim to be subject to your church authorities yet you reject the Pope's authority. What utter hypocrisy . . .

I was merely pointing out the fact that you rejected the exceptions that I brought up only to use exceptions of your own later. I was pointing out your hypocrisy.

And, ultimately, the Pope is responsible for what happens to each diocese - but he doesn't need to be mentioned specifically when that parish or diocese is commended or scolded - just like your parents. Anyway - explain to me how Peter "stole" the promise of Jesus that whatever he ordained on...

I don't know you well enough to know whether or not your could be led astray. Your words are encouraging, though. As for bbryd - he doesn't believe that Jesus is the Word made flesh. He separates the Scriptures from Jesus and says that one is not the other. Jesus is the Word of God.

YOU quote it more than anybody on this forum and you don't understand it. Interesting that you constantly quote the Catholic Canon of Scripture, though . . .

Don't listen to bbyrd. He is lying to you. The Bible is the WRITTEN Word of God. Jesus is the Word made flesh (John 1:14). The Bible is absolutely essential for us as Christians and not simply a book "about" God. To know the Word is to know Christ. That's why St. Jerome said: "Ignorance of...

That's as stupid as saying that your parents have no authority because your poor report card doesn't mention them . . .

And this shows your abject ignorance of linguistics. Simon could HARDLY be called "Petra", which is a feminine noun. It would be akin to calling him "Patricia". or some other female name. Jesus didn't make a distinction. He said , "YOU (Simon) are Kepha, and on this Kepha, I will build my...

I thought you were against Biblical exceptions. You certainly are when they apply to Catholic doctrines like Baptismal Regeneration and the Thief on the cross . . .

Hogwash. First of all - the prophets and teachers spoken of in Acts 13:1-4 were sent out by the Apostles. Remember what the Apostles wrote at the Council of Jerusalem: Acts 15:23-24 The apostles and elders, your brothers, To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia: Greetings. We...

I certainly have posted responses to Marakopa. Don't know what you're reading.

Technically, you are right - they weren't questions - but requests for answers. Here they are again: - If Peter's confession was the "Rock" - explain to me why Simon's name was changed to "Peter". - Explain to me why Paul refers to him as "Cephas" in his letters, which is the closest Greek...

Cornelius was a Jew?? That's a hot one. He was a Roman centurion. As for your Kepha vs. Kepha arguments - it doesn't hold water. Jesus spoke Aramaic to Peter, so what He said was, "You are KEPHA and on this KEPHA I will build my church and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it."...

No - so says the Bible and Sacred Tradition.
