there is required liturgical garb

but they are not worshiping the successor of saint Peter

They are giving Him obeisance cos he represents Jesus Christ the king, as Joseph received obeisance as the representative of pharaoh or king of Egypt

Gen 37:7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.

The same obesiance that peter himself REJECTED IN LIFE . PETER was too busy POINTING TO CHRIST and exalting CHRIST and not men .
Something the CC knows little about .

he did not reject obedience!
He represents the king and obedience to the prime minister is obedience to the king

ATTENTION EVERYONE . NOTICE peter didnt say , KNEEL DOWN and KISS MYRING . SO much for the false papacy .
PETER would have rebuked them all .

Yes and even an angelic being told Ezekiel to stand up..:)
.."I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.
He said to me, “Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak to you.” (Ezekiel 1:28 and Ezekiel 2:1)

One Christian demonizing the other is commonplace in this debacled religion. Christianity is losing ground because of - CHRISTIANS. They all believe they have the truth, yet they all disagree with one another. I don't even like calling myself a christian because it associates me with a bunch of judgmental losers.

Why do you call yourself a Christian?

When I read your post I thought about Jesus, and my mind substituted “Jew“ for “Christian”.

I don't call myself Christian.

Your faith is listed as Christian. You registered on Christianity Board as a Christian. No one forced you to. Why did you?

btw, I also initially registered on Christianity Board as a Christian but later changed it. (My faith is now listed as “Other”.) I am a retired, non-trinitarian, Christian pastor.

It's sad but I really don't want to be associated with them. I've had too many bad experiences with them - especially pastors.

There's no doubt that Christianity has gone bad - and the numbers prove it.

Fundamental Christianity is by all means 'fear based'. Fundamentalism has driven many OUT of this debacle of a religion. Most who have been driven out continue to believe in God and Jesus - we just see Christians as the most judgmental people in the world, and Christianity as being the most expensive sanctimonious social club in the world.

If I leave my house and go to the big box store in town, I pass about 6-7 different churches. A Church of Christ, UCC Church, Christian Science Church, 2 Pentecostal churches, one Next Level Church, one JW church, and a few others.

Every one of them believes they 'have the truth'. Some - like the SDA church - condemns just about everybody who worships on Sunday. One of the Fundamentalist Baptist Church - who believes the AKJV is inspired isn't any better - it's full of Judgmental Calvinist.

So tell me - which of these do you believe has THE TRUTH?

Truth is where you find it, and I find that all of the denominations you listed - as well as others that you didn’t - possess some aspects of truth.

Sad but there is truth in what you write. They don’t see it.

Some time ago I realized many Christians are idolators; they’ve made their doctrines into an IDOL.

Such IDOLATORS create what is not in Scripture, a doctrinal purity test. Such IDOLATRY led to the Inquisitions.

Lacking political power now, such idolators still invoke ‘questions’ but not to learn but to relentlessly attack. Sad.

There is only God's heavenly throne room in a real place that we see only through a glass darkly. Our spiritual understanding is colored darkly at this moment bc I believe we couldn't handle the vision of his kingdom........
that would cause

 Fear.

Since there IS only truth in God and his word it is so.

The lake of fire is a REAL place of eternal punishment for the unbelievers,the beast,the ac and the devil.

Whether it is believed or NOT !

Jesus didnt clown the religious of His day, and praise the pagan and atheist for nothing, i guess

you dont know what you are talking about, wadr
“eternal” does not mean forever, for one thing; that would have been “aidios” and not “aion”
so believe what you like, but understand your believing it does not make it true, yeh

There is only One Immortal, Who dwells alone in unapproachable light

The FOOL has said in his heart " THERE IS NO GOD".

Apparently fools open up and let 'er rip w /o having Christ in their heart.

Babybird has been eaten by a wolf and is ignorantly blissful having been done so.

I addressed your moronic post.
You do not know me nor what I know nor how I live.

A person who does not know the word does NOT KNOW GOD.

Empty heart= fool.
Now go away challenged one,don't bother me.
