You say you will stick with the Scriptures.
Who are the apostles listed in the Bible?
To whom did Christ say, “Feed my lambs.”, “Tend my sheep.”, “Feed my sheep.” It’s in Scripture — Christ said these to Peter.
To whom did Christ give the Keys to the Kingdom? It’s in Scripture?

Catholic doctrine today is nothing more than a slight of hand, a shell game in which the Early Fathers preached one thing but altered by the Church over the centuries ever so slightly to conform with their world view. Yet all the while Catholics maintain a pretense that they go back 2,000 years. One simply has to look at the division of the Eastern Church from the Western Church. Now the Church of Rome embraces the semi-Pelagius views of the Eastern Orthodox. Rome has left it's first love. If anything, TRUE Protestant (not what we have today) is the remnant of what the Early Church Fathers taught.
Sounds like Sola Scriptura to me. Would you agree with Jerome's statement?
From New Advent on the doctrine of the atonement:
The great doctrine thus laid down in the beginning was further unfolded and brought out into clearer light by the work of the Fathers and theologians. And it may be noted that in this instance the development is chiefly due to Catholic speculation on the mystery, and not, as in the case of other doctrines, to controversy with heretics.
Wow, such a statement. The Early Church Fathers SPECULATED on the meaning of the atonement. Yet 1800 years later they finally got it right.
And then the Church has the ADDACIDY to say they follow the Early Church Fathers. HA!

It saddens me that you are incapable of reading and interpreting Scripture. It was written for all, to be embraced by all. It’s not reserved for Church leadership alone.

Who carries on the work of Christ in the Book of Acts? The Apostles, Peter, etc.
It’s in Scripture.
Are you forgetting these things from Scripture?

Your misunderstanding of the Christian faith is astounding. Perhaps before commenting on the Christian faith, you should become familiar with it. Start with the New Testament.
Just trying to “keep it real.”

Cool! They posted to you the YOPIOS cereal box. The true sign of desperation when they can no longer argue and have to resort to insults. You can consider that a win on your part.

Yes, Jesus’ close friends carried on His work.
Those of us who are now embraced by Christ as His friends carry on His work.

**I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus name.**
Did Jesus trust Peter? Of course, Jesus told Peter to tend his sheep, feed his lambs, feed his sheep.
Is that in your Bible?

That YOPIOS cereal box betrays their belief that we common Christ-followers are unable to understand Scripture. Sad that they consider God’s Word beyond their grasp.

To whom did Christ give the Keys to the Kingdom?
What is the significance of the Keys and when are they used and how?

Why did Christ choose 12 Apostles? And why was it imperative that the 12th (after Judas went to his own) be chosen before Pentecost? Why are there 12 thrones (besides Christ's) in the Kingdom? ANd where does that leave Paul? Sitting on a stool by the fireplace, little crutch hanging by the fire, hoping for just a little more soup, please?
It's in Scripture...

Truly!
God’s word was given to the people, not to powerful nicolaitan rulers.

And the apostles, the first priests and Bishops started it. They were ordained, (breathed on) by Christ before he ascended into heaven.
All Christian churches receive their teaching from the Catholic Church and the Catholic Bible. Trouble is that Luther threw out some of the Bible that proves this.

“It saddens me that you are incapable of reading and interpreting Scripture.”
ROTFLMAO! It has been through the study of Holy Scripture and prayer that I became a Catholic.
“It was written for all, to be embraced by all.”
And before Holy Scripture was written, after his resurrection Christ gives this mission to his apostles: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”
“Its not reserved for Church leadership alone.”
And yet before the first pen set down the first words of the Gospel, the Apostles were doing the work of Our Lord, and through that work they appointed successors who assembled and defended the Holy Writ you refer to.

Did you sing old hymns in your church? That’s where those lines come from.
Because Jesus may have or may not have trusted Peter does not give Peter higher authority that the living Christ.
You are of course by free will, able to think otherwise.

Tell us again about Church on Sunday, celebrating Easter and Christmas and why these common Christian works are wrong. Go ahead, enlighten us.
