    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    No - just a recognition of a cowardly refusal to debate the linguistic implications of the words Adelphoi and Adelphe. Pointing out that you teach NT Greek does not bolster your position if you are unwilling to explain it . . .

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    I already answered your question. A non-Catholic Christian is a believer. Unfortunately, they don't believe in the fullness of truth. Protestant Christians, although being related top the ONE Body of Christ - have separated or divorced themselves from that ONE Body. As for attacking my beliefs...

    And YOU teach NT Greek?? I think that maybe you need to go back to school . . . The Greek word is "Kecharitomene" that Luke used in his Gospel (v.1:28), which is the perfect passive participle, indicating a completed action with permanent result. It translates, “completely, perfectly...

    Because I like formatting. If you don’t like it – then don’t use it. Also – it’s not against the rules and MANY people here use it. I’m the only one who gets any flack because of the anti-Catholic arguments I destroy . . . Now, that being said – the answer to your question is “Incorrect.”...

    PROVE it. Show the document that initiated the Catholic Church. Show ANY document, declaration or decree that started the Catholic Church in the 4th century. If you can't - then you're claim is fraudulent.

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    Wrong. First of all - I didn't say that the bible wasn't Authoritative. It absolutely IS. What I said, if you had been paying attention - is that the Bible explicitly states that the Church is our final Authority on earth and NOT the Bible. It never makes that claim for itself. Like it or...

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    Translation: "I have absolutely no valid response for the evidence you presented regarding the use of Adelphoi and Adelphe." That's what I thought. The conversation always ends here with anti-Catholic Protestants because there is just no way around the Scriptural, linguistic and historical facts.

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    I already HAVE brought for my evidence about ten times. However, if you insist on reading it again, here goes . . . The normal Greek words for “brother(s) “adelphos” and “adelphoi” were used much more liberally than the normal meaning. It was applied to cousins, uncles, nephews, neighbors and...

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    Can you show me one single verse of Scripture that states that Scripture is our final authority?? I can show you verses that make this claim about the Church - but not about Scripture . . . Matt 16:18-19 - Jesus told Peter that WHATEVER he ordained on earth would also be ordained in Heaven...

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    And Biblical evidence is ALL I have presented to prove you wrong. I presented the fact that Adelphos(oi) does NOT necessarily mean uterine sibling. I showed that in MOST cases in the NT - Adelphos(oi) does NOT mean uterine sibling. The fact of the matter is that there is ZERO biblical...

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    What is "The Book" - and where does the Bible tell me about this "Book"?? And, you're wrong about the other thing. JESUS fulfilled the Law - NOT us (Matt. 5:17).

    Why are there so many versions of the Bible?

    Yup - people have been saying that for, oh, about 2000 years now . . . Matt. 16:18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

    Why are there so many versions of the Bible?

    So, then everybody can follow YOU to perdition? No thanks - I'll continue to follow Jesus through His Church. You talk a lot about "lies" but you don't list any . . .

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    WRONG. Actually - it's not the source that is the problem. It is the fact that the source has it wrong when explaining Catholic teaching. gotquestions.org is an anti-Catholic site. What makes it anti-Catholic is NOT the fact that it disagrees with Catholic teaching - but that it purposely...

    Why are there so many versions of the Bible?

    Why - because we're not allowed to speak logically and charitably?? Pretty sad . . .

    Why are there so many versions of the Bible?

    Can you tell me where the Bible says that we are to read the "Book" and interpret it by ourselves??

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    Why, in most of your posts do you keep referring to the importance of adherence to "The Book"?? Where is that in the Bible??

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    First of all - who is "screaming"?? When I "scream" - i use exclamations points (!!!). Secondly - no, I didn't get my quotes from EWTN, but I'm sure this is ONE source. In case you haven't noticed, the internet has MANY sources. Finally, as to the "other" children of Mary - there is simply NO...

    No inquisition at all. It's more of an Exposition of falsehoods. If you need to be "rescued" from that - then maybe you should stop engaging in the falsehoods . . .
