Catholic is from the Greek "KATHOLICOS', and the origin of the term is found in Romans and Acts. Jesus Christ is the only name above every name, and you insult lika a troll.Coming out of the closet are you?
Nah, not you, not the guy who's 8,000 posts have been centered on another. Oh, oh, I get it, not "Jesus", but "Christ" (on earth...after Jesus' ascension). That's right, you have made that perfectly clear...that Peter and the popes are "Christ on earth." Which is rather weird thinking, to give Christ's body (the church) a human head (little "h") to focus on short of completely looking upward for redemption. And apparently you all have given that all a name (above every name): "Catholic."
Nowhere in scripture is scripture pitted against the Church the way you do. That is a man made tradition you adhere to constantly.Great P.R.!
But you error. You kid yourself: Jesus, and Paul gave the first critiques of the churches, and many prophesied the folly of the so called canon which also are now scripture.
No amount of dictionaries will ever convince you of the difference between infallibility, and impeccability. You repeat the same error over and over again, and its been explained to you at least 100 times. Your ignorance is invincible.In addition, adding more to your shame, you now call what Christ and Paul called imperfect perfect...against them and the scriptures. Ouch!
Good luck with that.
You never document your "historical facts" because you make them up.As for the church leaders rejecting Christ spiritually - it is an historical fact...they built their own church made with hands following Peter with a host of men in place (instead) of Christ, assuming all the promises made for a church "made without hands" were for their earthly gain and authority. They were wrong, it is not a church made with hands, which disqualifies them on every front...except spreading the gospel, which they have done merely by maintaining the blind ignorance of the first century, of which we have the word of scripture to confirm.
Once again, no names, no dates, no historical context and no scriptures cited, just ranting meaningless zingers. You profess the same false histories as the Mormons and the SDA.
I can name the first 40 popes who were martyred up to the 3rd century, you can't come up with the name of one what you call a "true believer" in the first 1000 years. That's because your Scott-made-in-America religion didn't exist until you invented it.Both very well should be demonized. That is why Jesus woed the leaders in Israel and even called Peter Satan, because of their tenancy to be anti-Christ - they crucified Him.
There you go again, harping about Peter being so corrupt he couldn't possibly lead the Apostles and the Church, and of the 100's of times you refer to Peter being called Satan, NOT ONCE HAVE YOU TIED IT WITH WHAT JESUS TAUGHT IMMEDIATELY AFTER, which proves you don't understand the verse, you just use it to attack the Church, SOMETHING THE BIBLE NEVER DOES.
God promises to protect the Church from teaching error. It's in the parts of the Bible you ignore or reject. Post #698 exposes your anti-Semite attitude. Also, your psychotic anti-Catholicism is well known here. Worse than that is your anti-Protestantism, deceiving the non-denoms in here.But...bla bla bla... I am not going to listen to or read your numbered religious doctrine that has been flawed for millennia.
It's not a doctrine and Nostra aetate was written in 1965. Yet you qualify yourself as a critic.numbered religious doctrine that has been flawed for millennia.
