Good for you. I hope it all works out for you in the end.

Me, I will stick with the True Faith given to us by Our Lord, and cared for by the Apostles and their successors under the protection of the Paraclete. After over 2,000 years, they seem to still be doing their job well and He is still in charge.

Regarding Antioch, didn't St. Peter spend quite a bit of time there helping establish the church in the town whereof it is said "they were first called Christian in Antioch"?

Then he took off for another mission to Rome.

Obviously that sequence raises some questions about original authority back to the first church in Jerusalem, so do you have access to the policy paper that deals with that? I've never run across it ~ so just curious.

Chuck, try as you might, and wish as you may, Jesus did NOT call HIMSELF "Petra and upon this Rock I will build My Church".....he named PETER, Petra and said to and of him..."Upon this ROCK I will build me Church.

I know you non-Catholics have a bad time with this and you try to twist Jesus's words, but you can't. Your preachers try very hard to convince you, but........

Jesus ASCENDED into heaven.....SOMEONE HAD TO BE THE HEAD CHEESE HEre on EARTH TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL!!!!

Really, now,if you would take 2 quiet seconds to reflect on this, you would accept this.

Hello, even GM's CEO PICKS his REPLACEMENT TO CARRY ON THE BUSINESS........geesh.

The church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you: and so doth my son Mark” (5:13). Babylon must here be identified with the Roman capital;


That may be true as also in rev 17 it describes the great whore whose name was written on her forehead mystery Babylon the great, mother of harlots which also seems to be Rome.

Early Protestant writers like Calvin were HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of years AFTER CHRIST!!!!! WHY the heck can’t you believe the FIRST PERSON ACCOUNTS??? Do you NOT believe that the BIBLE is the WORD of GOD??????? Then you are IGNORING what GOD SAID ABOUT HIS CHURCH!!!

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

The only authority, from the author himself.

On CHRIST the solid Rock I stand.
All other ground is sinking sand.

As His Apostle to carry out the faith and BUILD HIS CHURCH......Jesus was no longer here on earth in case you haven’t heard......what was Christ going to do just let the faith go leaderless?? REALLY??? that would have been STUPID.

On CHRIST the solid ROCK I stand

and

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

No popes.

24
And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.

25
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

26
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

27
And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

28
Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

There is a reason Jesus the Christ is referred to as the living Christ, because he is here.
If you wish to submit to a man that is your prerogative, my submission is to the living Christ Jesus.

Ugh. No, the authority of Christianity is centered in Christ, whose home is found not in Rome but in Heaven.

Papists bore me. Feel free to assault me for being so pro-Jesus and anti-Romanist. I’m secure in Christ.
