And this is just another example of a person who doesn't understand what the Church is. The Church isn't a "team" - it is the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12, Col. 1:18). In Acts 9:4-5, Jesus equated the Church with His very SELF. Paul calls the Church, the FULLNESS of Christ (Eph. 1:22-23) and the...

Can you point me to the POST where you "answered" the question?? Here it is again for your edification: Of the 50,000 or so disjointed, perpetually-splintering Protestant sects - WHICH Church is Christ's Church?? The clock is ticking . . .

And, instead of actual answers, most of your posts consist of your twisting of Scripture to your own destruction. Remember - the Bible condemns the Lone Ranger Christianity that you advocate (Heb. 10:25, 1 Cor. 12). Everything I have said has been believed and taught by Christ's Church for 2000...

That's not an answer - it's a cop out. If I see an individual Christian - I don't see a Church. I just see a Lone Ranger. Christ gave HIS Church a hierarchy (Acts 1:20, 1 Cor. 12:28, 2 Thess. 2:15). Of the 50,000 or so disjointed, perpetually-splintering Protestant sects - WHICH Church is...

Here's a little hermeneutical rule you might want to take note of: When Jesus instructed the crowds - He was instructing ALL of us. When He gave instructions to the Twelve - He was instructing the LEADERS of His Church. Just like when Jesus gave THEM the power to forgive sins (John 20:21-23) -...

I don't know of ONE single Catholic who believes that the Bible is "God." On the contrary - the Catholic Church has taught for 2000 years that Scripture is merely the WRITTEN Word of God but does not encompass ALL of His It is Protestants like yourself who have placed the Bible in such esteem...

As I have educated you on other threads - the Church is . . . Jesus established ONE Church (Matt. 16:16-19). He prayed fervently that this Church remain ONE - as He and the Father are ONE (John 17:20-23). There is NO other. Jesus is Truth itself (John 14:6). Jesus promised His Church that...

Really funny coming from a person who has NEVER been able to defend his position. On several threads now, I have asked the following questions, which YOU have never been able to answer: Can you point me to the "Lord's TRUE Church"?? Which one of the 50,000 or so disjointed...

Sooooo, you CAN'T answer the question - is that it?? Jesus NEVER said that His Church was an "invisible" entity that cannot be counted. In fact - He said just the opposite: Matt. 5:14-15 “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp...

Interpretation of the Scriptures is left to the Church - NOT the individual. The Church is the guardian of the Holy Deposit of Faith (2 Tim. 1:13-14). AGAIN - Peter spoke well of you when he wrote: 2 Pet. 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private...

First of all - I'm not "uppity" about anything. I am simply relaying the linguistic truth. Secondly, it's not that shnarkle hasn't had the truth revealed yet. The point is his/her rejection of the truth and the linguistic evidence. Nobody is asking him to accept that Philip disappeared -...

And this is yet another statement made in an abject ignorance of Scripture and history. First of all - I don't interpret Scripture. That is the Church's job (Luke 10:16, John 16:12-15). Secondly, your comment about why Catholics "bother" with the Bible illustrates just how ignorant you are of...

Can yoo point me to the "Lord's TRUE Church"?? Which one of the 50,000 or so disjointed, perpetually-splintering Protestant sects is it?? This should be easy enough for you to do . . .

As I already educated you earlier - in the Greek, the word used in Acts 8:38 to describe the disappearance of Philip is ηαρπαζο (har-pad'-zo), which means to be "CAUGHT UP" and "SNATCHED AWAY". This is the EXACT same word found in 1 Thess. 4:16 that speaks of how Christians will be taken away...

And not ONE of these verses makes the claim that Scripture is to be understood by every individual. In fact - one of the verses you quoted (John 16:!3) - Jesus was speaking only to His Apostles - and NOT the crowds. They were the leaders of His Church. Peter warns of people like YOU when he...

Really?? show me. Chapter and verse please . . .

And this claim ALWAYS cracks me up. The idea that the Holy Spirit teaches every individual how to understand Scripture is a man made fallacy. Why do you think there are almost 50,000 disjointed and perpetually-splintering Protestant factions - ALL teaching different doctrines yet ALL claiming...

The Bible is the WRITTEN Word of God. That's what "Scripture" means - "written". God's Word has been manifest in Scripture AND Tradition. Here are some examples of the Word of God NOT found in the Bible: Acts 15:27 - Judas and Silas, successors to the apostles, were sent to bring God's...

That's NOT what John 1:1 says. Jesus isn't the Bible - He is the WORD of God.

Translation: 1. "I don't have a clue . . ." 2. "Since I don't have a clue - I'll just attack your Church." Who's "yelling"?? Yelling is when you use exclamation points (!!!).
