It's a fact that the innate nature and goal of Catholicism is a union of church and state. Which is why several times I have mentioned that Catholicism cannot abide the constitution which separates church and state in line with biblical principles. The two are never to be mixed and God does not condone such a union which was one reason why He established the United States as a free republic, and why so many canned to America from Europe... To escape the tyranny of royal and papal authority. If you want to know God's perspective on church start unions, read scripture. I suggest you start perhaps with 2Chronicles26.

God established the US? Really and I thought It was the Freemasons? Um? Wonder why we have the same motto and colors as the French Revolution cos they are the same and have the principals!

Nothing in our constitution on seperation of church and state

israel has king david and Solomon and the church is a kingdom not a democracy

The fact that there have been some bad Popes doesn't detract from Papal Authority. Those men will be judged by God.
One of the original leaders of the Church was a Devil (Judas) - and he was hand-picked by Jesus.

As for Scripture not being "in line" with Papal authority - you don't know your Bible very well.
In Acts 1 - Peter and the Apostles get together to choose a successor for Judas.
Acts 1:20 states:
"Let another take his office".

The Greek word used here for "office" is Episkopay - which means BISHOPRIC. The OFFICE of Bishop is successive, as we see in Scripture.

As for Peter and the Papacy - if Peter wasn't in charge . . .
a. Tell me WHY Jesus singled out Peter when He gave him the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven (Matt. 16:18-19) if did not put him in charge.

b. Tell me WHY Jesus asked Peter and Peter alone to feed His lambs and tend His sheep (John 21:15-19) if did not put him in charge.

c. Tell me WHY Jesus said that He prayed for Peter ALONE to strengthen the others and bring them back to faith (Luke 22:31-32) if did not put him in charge.

d. Tell me WHY Peter called "Protos" (First) in the Gospel (Matt. 10:2) if he was not in charge??

e. Tell me WHY Peter's name occurs first in all lists of apostles (Matt. 10:2; Mk 3:16; Luke 6:14; Acts 1:13) if he was not in charge??

f. Tell me WHY Peter is specified by an angel as the leader and representative of the apostles (Mark 16:7) if he was not in charge??

g. Tell me WHY Peter takes the lead in calling for a successor for Judas (Acts 1:22) if He was not in charge??

h. Tell me WHY Peter is the first person to speak (and only one recorded) after Pentecost, making him the first Christian to preach the Gospel in the Church (Acts 2:14-36) if he was not in charge??

i. Tell me WHY Peter works the first miracle of the Church Age, healing a lame man (Acts 3:6-12) if he was not in charge??

j. Tell me WHY Peter utters the first anathema (Ananias and Sapphira) affirmed by God (Acts 5:2-11) if He was not in charge??

k. Tell me WHY Peter is the first person after Christ to raise the dead (Acts 9:40) if he was not in charge??

l. Tell me WHY Cornelius is told by an angel to seek out Peter for instruction in Christianity (Acts 10:1-6) if he was not in charge??

m. Tell me WHY Peter's name is mentioned more often than all the other disciples put together if He was not in charge??

His name is mentioned 191 times (162 as Peter or Simon Peter, 23 as Simon and 6 as Cephas). John is the next with only 48 mentions, and Peter is present 50 percent of the time we find John in the Bible.


where does it say the word of God is limited to the “Bible alone “?

On the other hand - it might be Jesus who will ask YOU:
Why did you reject me?

He said of His Church:
Luke 10:16

Whoever listens to YOU listens to ME. Whoever rejects YOU rejects ME. And whoever rejects ME rejects the ONE who sent ME."
I aint the one following the popes and this pope . Have you heard what its lips do speak .
HIMS making one big and giant and massive road unto GOD . And if folks end up believing that lie
Those will be the ones who get told , Depart from me , i never knew you .
DO notice they said but didnt we do much good works in your name .
Beware we got one who can appear as a lamb , very humble and very nice , yet hims speaks as a dragon . Watch out and
beware that man . I say this with all concern for you . Flee that man and fast .

Yes let us remember , that ye must believe in Him , confessing HIM by mouth in order to be saved .
Cause the great inclusive lie is saying , A BIG FAT LIE .
IT is implying that somehow even muslims , buddists , atheists , you nameitists , even though they do not
confess HIM as LORD , they are saved if they have love and do good works . AND THAT IS A LIE .
Any lamb who loves JESUS and IS HIS would know that . If we can allow any other religion or non religion
to believe they are serving the same GOD we do and are fine as they are , WE LIE to them and do not the TRUTH .
But popey and yes , many prostestants are believing this lie and spouting it . AND ITS DEADLY .

Otis's right. All they undertsand's a leg o' lamb.

how come in some episodes it’s Barnard P. Fife and in the reunion (not the return) they’re looking at his cutlass or year book and it’s Bernard Milton Fife?

that’s me lots of kindness behind the eyes!

hubcaps Lesh!

that’s the cluncker I sold to that boob in Mayberry!

who you calling a boob? You just go up an alley and holler fish!

You, and no one else, cannot define who or where are the true body of believers.
That is a superfluous and pretentious term, that carries very little weight because by definition alone, it defines no boundaries. The only way to delineate a body of believers is to stipulate its parameters by creed, and thus, by denomination.
So, the false church always categorizes itself as the undefinable 'true body of believers', of which no one has any tangible record of the unadulterated apostolic tradition, in order to prove its authenticity.
Just to make the claim incriminates oneself as to their naiveté, ignorance and pretense.
Why do I have to know who is in or out to believe the truth? A believer is simply that, why complicate it?
