Why Peter? because Jesus said that's the rock upon which he would build HIS church. Most people hate this fact only because it's the catholic church.
Perhaps a lot of dressing to go with this word salad would make it more palatable?
Thankfully the RCC has once again changed its stance on something they were quite attached to.
Have you heard they finally acknowledge that Jesus is the only mediator between God and man?
Removing Mary from the equation was long overdo. They have changed much over the years because they are error ridden.
You can rail as much as you like but only the catholic church can trace it's history back to the apostles. That fact isn't nullified by your personal hatred for the Catholic Church
Your false accusations are devoid of truth.Telling the truth about the error-ridden RCC is not hatred.
No they don't. And Peter was the rock upon which Jesus built HIS church. Jesus gave Peter and the apostles the authority to forgive sins. The earliest days of the church after Peter were decidedly catholic.
Thanks Reddogs for your post about Jesus being the only way. I did not click on the link, but I liked the John 14:6 scripture. The post reminded me of the book of James: "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. "
I think that it is very good to visit those whose are fatherless, but I am thinking that this scripture might primarily mean to bring Jesus to those who are not Christians yet (and so who have no heavenly father in that sense). This seems to me to be a use of the term visit in the Bible since Jesus talked about the day of his visitation, when he is available and present. It is also very good to visit widows in need but I am thinking that that might primarily mean those who are alone who have lost the covenant protection of Christians. Also, I am thinking unspotted might not mean not having physical leopard-like spots but instead not engaging in sin. Anyway, that is a scripture that came to mind, one from James.
The Church in Jerusalem, and all other congregations noted in scripture. So, how were they created and can't a congregation be likewise created today? Absolutely can! Believers baptized others into Christ as was done in scripture like on the day of Pentecost in Jerusalem. There, the 1st Church was created and in wasn't Catholic nor any denomination. So likewise, churches can be established today and are without affiliation with or burdened by names or titles.
Peter whom Jesus referred to as Satan? Heh. One must wonder why Catholics flock to Protestant sites.
I suppose they are eager to spread their errors and misinformation.
You make the same mistake with Peter that the RCC has made for centuries with Mary.
But the RCC loves their errors!
Yes, boys and girls, it is true! The Vatican has ordered the world’s estimated 1.4 billion Catholics to no longer refer to Mary as the “co-redeemer” of the world, reaffirming that only Jesus Christ came to save humanity by offering salvation and eternal life to all who believe in Him. Christ is the only mediator between God and man.
Oh course the early church was Catholic. Notice the year. Ignatius of Antioch a disciple of the apostle John
“I have no taste for corruptible food nor for the pleasures of this life. I desire the bread of God, which is the flesh of Jesus Christ, who was of the seed of David; and for drink I desire his blood, which is love incorruptible” (Letter to the Romans 7:3 [A.D. 110]).
“Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God. . . . They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes” (Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6:2–7:1 [A.D. 110]).
This echoes Paul 1Cor 11:27-39
27 God’s Judgment on the Community.[a] Therefore, anyone who eats the bread and drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner is guilty of an offense against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Everyone should examine himself about eating the bread and drinking from the cup. 29 For a person who eats and drinks without discerning the body of the Lord is eating and drinking judgment on himself.
30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and a number of you have fallen asleep.
On the other hand it is still mandated for the world's millions and millions and millions of Catholics that they believe the fabrications of Mary's immaculate conception and her bodily assumption to heaven. Some people get a little confused and think the so-called immaculate conception has to do with Jesus being born of virgin, but no, it is asserted by the RCC with absolutely no Scripture to back it that Mary was preserved from what is widely understood to be the sin of Adam, which the whole world according to Scripture is subject to, since sin and death passed to all. They say she was born free from the stain of original sin and lived a completely sinless life and this was so that Jesus could be born sinless as the Son of God as if He needed her help! They say this also established her as the "New Eve" and they further call her the mother of us all and queen of heaven, etc, major ugh. However if Mary needed to be sinless in order for Jesus to be born sinless then every woman all the way back to Eve would likewise need to be sinless and we know what a farcical thought that is. And that is just the one of two ex cathedra dogmas mandated for the Catholic to be believed and deceived by! The second one being that she was bodily assumed to heaven, which there is no Scripture evidence for, but the popes just love to wax poetic about Mary and elevate her above other women even though Jesus rebuked those who did so. But according to these idolized men within the RCC Mary never sinned so she did not need to die either, did she? Since death is the wages of sin.
Despite your hatred the Catholic Church is the only church that can reasonably trace it's history back to the apostles. Now if you can show me something from the early church that teaches sola fide I'd love to see it.
Despite your repeated lies and false accusations I do not hate the RCC. I feel
sorry for those trapped by its many deceptions. I hope they "come out of her."
But you do. Why would anyone leave a church that can trace its history back to the apostles to join a strip mall church that can't even trace it's history back to the 1990s?
But I don't and you lie. Tracing error back hundreds of years does make make it more true.
Why do Catholics join a Protestant site? Are you just here to argue?
