Since Protestants deny that Jesus intended to give Peter a position of primacy in the Church, I think Protestants need to explain how Jesus could be so stupid as to fail to foresee that giving Simon the nickname “Rock” would cause confusion.

First, Jesus isn't stupid.

Christians understand keeping the Bible in context.

Next, if we use the ECFs as catholics love to cling to in order to justify their non-biblical "tradition", it's up to catholics to explain why they cherry pick the ones they like in contradiction of their own requirement for unanimous agreement amongst the ECFs.

First of all you would have to identify the "first eight or so Popes". Do a little history on the title of pope given and you will not find a single "pope" at the head of the "Catholic Church" until the 6th century. From the 3rd to the 6th century is was used refer to all bishops. ["Pope", Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, Oxford University Press, 2005, ISBN 978-0-19-280290-3].

It's nothing but Catholic fiction to state that there is a line of single popes leading back to Peter.

It truly is baffling. Just the title “vicar of Christ” would cause me to back away. Vicar from the Latin vicarius which means “instead of” or “in place of”. Christ said when He left He would send someone but it wasn’t a pope. It was the Holy Spirit who would indwell every true believer. The only scripture reference to a person “instead of” or “in place of” is the anti-Christ. And no, I’m not saying the pope is the anti Christ. I’m saying I would back off from anyone who claimed that title because scripture says there will be many anti Christs.

Excellent advice.

I think people have the false assumption that when the Antichrist arrives they will be able to identify him. They forget that God says clearly he will send deception as such that they will certainly fall under his power and control and not be able to see him as he truly is.

Our savior’s name is Yehoshua, just like his OT namesake.

The “short form” of that name is Yeshua, not YSU or YSV.

There is absolutely nothing innocent about using the curse. Had it been innocent, both names would have been rendered the same.

I hold no one under the curse, I reject it, and I love my Lord enough to call him by the name he was given, the one that shouts to the creation what he did for us.

What you call “evidence” is nothing but contrivance.

As far as the Bible codes go, they are proven beyond the most minuscule doubt. Perhaps you choose to support the liars that attempted unsuccessfully to discredit what is there in the masoretic text that, as Paul revealed to us in Romans, is the Oracles of Yehova.

Edwin Sherman fully demolished the attack in his book Bible Code Bombshell. I recommend it to anyone that has the slightest doubt. (I have no respect whatsoever for the Kabbalist fool that wrote the original Bible Code book.)

>> “They were not killed by “rivals.” They were martyred, by the State.” <<

They were the state.

That is what the ‘catholic church’ was until Napolean’s time.

....” because we insist that JESUS is who the church is founded on instead of Peter”....

I can’t see that catholics could do more than follow what catholicism teaches them regarding Peter, and get their pants in a knot when when the truth is presented that Jesus is the Rock not Peter.... Their Priesthood depends on them believing the lie, which must be in order to continue to secure the Priesthood, for which without their faith and catholicism would fall.

They left the Centrality of Jesus Christ ages ago....though they strive to attach his name onto everything.....simply as an add-on....and afterthought.

The Catholic Church was “the State” in the years 33-300?

I’ll just let that hang out there and let sane people reach their own conclusions.

One thing every dedicated anti-Catholic MUST do is remain ignorant of the lives of the saints, martyrs and non-martyrs

Mom, LOL, I see you made the "dedicated anti catholic" list of heroes. Maybe you are considered the de facto president of the dedicated anti catholic cabal. Don't you feel special? Think of the possibilities. I would ask you if another ex catholic, like me, could be the Vice President. We will need a secretary of OFFENSE. I am thinking Elsie would be a perfect fit. We can all get in on the ground floor. Sound like a winner to you? 😄😃😀

Wow. Why should I be very interested in all that? I love to read but it has to be something I m interested in. I am more interested in what the Bible says. Too much emphasis is placed on them anyway.

I don’t know if FR is ready for us.

But we might have a problem.

Someone has already been crowned as the lead anti-Catholic on the RF. I don’t recall if it was gamecock or alex, but one of them had it in their tagline for a while.

There might be two or three of us leaders at once.

And you know how that can play out.

I have no idea what you think fits together.

One thing is for sure though; you’ve no grasp of how the word of God is one complete work that cannot be divided.

One cannot believe in Yeshua, as a disciple, and not recognize that the RCC is pure pagan bedlam.

The RCC didn’t exist until 364 AD.

That was when Constantine renamed the Roman state to be “The Church.”

Oh darn, my hopes are dashed again. I thought we had discovered something new, but I think the Bible says, there is nothing new under the sun. If GC or Alex already have it going on, we should not try to wiggle into their operation. If no one has a name for the organization yet, the opposition might call us ACES, or those afflicted with Anti Catholic Exposure Syndrome. They need to beware, we have a lot more ACES in our deck, than they have in theirs. How does that grab ya? 😄😃😀
