    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Yup, there would be peace on earth if all men where like you and your men. But there is one little problem with your fantasy: Satan So get out of your fantasy world. Read all of Scripture in context. Find a man among you like Moses who as long as his arms were raised his enemies were being...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    YES, luxury: a condition great ease and comfort according to the dictionary. And that is what you and your ilk enjoy by not fighting against/defending people who are attacking your home, Neiborhood, Town, State or Country....ease and comfort. Your "brothers" knew they could potentially go to...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Nope, not true. Apostolic Succession is when a man of The Church succeeds an Apostle. That LITERALLY happened with Mathias.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Matthias LITERALLY succeeded (replaced) Judas; And he (Matthias) was numbered with the eleven apostles. Peter cites the Psalms (“May their camp be a desolation, let no one dwell in their tents” [69:25] and “May his days be few; may another seize his goods!” [109:8]) when they replaced Judas with...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Hey Wick Stick, The NT has many verses in them that show Apostolic Succession. Council of Jerusalem is the clearest incident. Since you know Scripture so well, I won't repeat all of them. With that fact in hand, when did Apostolic Succession end? Also, if you had letters from a student of an...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Lol....Scripture doesn't give you authority. Scripture tells us WHO has authority (The Church) and it NEVER at NO POINT is written in Scripture that YOU or I or your neighbor gets their individual authority from Scripture. Here is what Scripture does say about men who think they can read...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Yup, He said THE flesh profitieth nothing. He didn't say MY flesh profiteth nothing. In John 6 He TOLD us that we must eat His flesh of which he compared to manna (bread). Several months later He SHOWED us HOW to eat His flesh (bread) at the Last Supper saying it IS His body. 30 years later...

    Translation: I lied. The Pope never said what I, Brakelite, accused him of saying. And I refuse to apologize!!

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I know you have never gotten DIRECTLY involved with warfare because you have the luxury of not getting involved with warfare. Other Christian men do the fighting and bleeding and dying to protect your women, children and elderly and your right to not fight. If all men were as passive as your...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I know you never said the Protestants weren't just as guilty as The Church. THATS THE PROBLEM!! For some reason you found it important to point the finger at The Church without realizing you had 3 fingers pointing back at you. You were looking at the log in someone else's eye without...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    You make a very good point. 2 swords among the eleven means 9 were unarmed. Maybe He was saying that the 2 disciples who brought the swords were each sufficiently armed? Or he may have referred to the swords as examples of what each disciple should have? Or “Those swords are suitable (i.e. good...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    NOPE, not my opinion. It's literally what He said and Christianity has taught for 2,000 years. Us Christians believe Him, believe in miracles and have faith: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. 54 Whoever...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    What your men have taught you is delusional. It was NOT an object lesson. :jest: Jesus never said we should be doormats and pacifists. He makes this clear in Luke 22:36-38 when he tells the apostles to “take up a sword” for self-defense. It is true that Jesus tells St. Peter to put away his...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    No, I'm not claiming that, never suggested that and never implied that! I think it is very clear what I am claiming. Jesus told his disciples to sell their cloak and buy a sword. I think we can both agree that the reason He told his disciples to buy a sword was for self-defense? History is...
