The news has been hurtling around the world tonight on Twitter:Welcome home, Kirsten.

[kinsman redeemer]

...so you say.

To repeat: it's just you saying it. And that ain't worth a hoot.

"Asinine?"

I KNEW you couldn't substantiate your declarations - and you've proved me right.

[WVKayaker]

... I hadn't seen any severely outlandish, totally freaky or truly nasty posts ...

And, then you post one!

One is too wordy to ever make sense even in a mental ward for the insane and the others are just plain nutz) -Onyx

It's too sad to even try to respect Roman Catholic cultists, when they repeat the same tired tripe!

We Christians have to constantly correct the cultists from Scripture, and they can only reply with manmade traditions and superstitions! Ot, they come back with attacking messengers but never respond to the message.

Romans 1: 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. ...

[WVKayaker]

We all make choices.

Yes, FRiend. We see it too! It is another tool of the Roman Catholics to promote people over Christ. There is no greater fool than the one who thinks he is the only one with a mind!

[Syncro]

It tolerates ignorant Catholics, so, to be fair...

Yeah, both of them.

Who is the other one?

[terycarl]

Christ established a church, within a few years of its establishment it was centered in Rome, Within "a few years"?

Probably sooner, but at least by the year 100the Catholic church was recognized as such...there is no one else around....as the followers of Christ grew and matured, and multiplied, they became known as Roman (where they were)Catholics(what they were)...what's so hard to figure out....they were the ONLY Christians there....and realistically speaking, it doesn't matter what they were called, they were who they were..

[terycarl]

I won’t give my money to a platform for anti-Catholicism.

You're far too sensitive, FR is not a platform for anything other than expressing one's opinions and listening to those who have differing views. If you are strong and unwavering in your opinions and your faith, you will find some of these feeble attempts to redefine history, religion, and truth, either totally ludicrous or, at best, uneducated and irrelevant.....stick with it, it is VERY entertaining.

[terycarl]

...so you say. To repeat: it's just you saying it. And that ain't worth a hoot. "Asinine?" I KNEW you couldn't substantiate your declarations - and you've proved me right.

What, in post 187, was incorrect???BE SPECIFIC...

[RedHeeler]

Those Romans, are the same Romans. Good grief. Those Jews were Romans, by spirit and action. They were all definitely Roman Catholics. Catholicism is Romanism writ large. Pray away. Christianity is just a breath away...

[kinsman redeemer]

I won’t be responding to you any more (in this thread.)

You did not “Put up” and you won’t “Shut up.”

I called you out (”Show me where Christ says...”) and you FAILED to do so. YOU read your OWN post and see what you said.

Good Bye.

[terycarl]

It tolerates ignorant Catholics, so, to be fair... Yeah, both of them. Who is the other one?

Not certain, could have been St Peter....he actually believed Christ when He said " THIS IS MY BODY"...Imagine that....of course you don't believe that....

[terycarl]

I called you out (”Show me where Christ says...”) and you FAILED to do so. YOU read your OWN post and see what you said. Good Bye.

OH NO, please don't leave us, your words of wisdom are so much appreciated even if not accepted...every debate needs winners and losers.....now all we have left is winners...sigh.

[Elsie]

Easy for a person who's kid is God.

Mary: Superwoman

[Elsie]

No, but God does and He isn't about to do so.

So Catholics can mind read GOD.

Cool!

[BlueDragon]

In regards to the actual history of the Christian Church, it is you who is "uneducated & irrelevant" in your own attempts to attempts to "redefine history, religion, and truth" which are "totally ludicrous" etc.

Really. You are entirely guilty of that which you are saying others are guilty of.

Who taught you that which you assert as being history?

If it came from the RCC, you were fed a bag a lies.

If its more just your own assumption, well then --- that's where the real problems lay.

I don't know why I even bother with this...

It's obvious to me that you are not interested in truth.

It's no wonder that is was the Church of Rome who came up with the term "invincible ignorance".

[RinaseaofDs]

Good for her!!!

She’s come quite a ways. I miss it. Can’t grok this Pope. When Benedict was Pope I was going to swim back across the Tiber. Who says Malachi was wrong? Just because Frank didn’t call himself Peter doesn’t mean he isn’t the one that leads the Church astray.

[mitch5501]

"I don't know why I even bother with this..."

Neither do I brother,but I'm sure glad you do!

[kinsman redeemer]

Ditto. Thanks.

[BlueDragon]

So there were Christians at Rome 'round about the year 100 AD.

Big whoppiedeedoo.

That does not in the least make Rome to then be "the center" of Christianity --- as you asserted, for there were Christians (converts from Judaism, many of them) in many locations, other than simply at Rome.

Show and prove that the Church was "centered" at Rome, as you asserted.

You can't do it, can you?

Do you know why?

Because what you say is not true, not supported by historical evidence.

Mere assertions are simply not enough, and simply will not do.

End of the road, pal. As has been said previous, in regards to your many and various assertions

Put up (the proof) or shut up

Here, try this;

From Paul to Valentinus: Christians at Rome in the First Two Centuries [Amazon link]

One of the 'official' reviews from there;

"This impressive work puts our study of early Roman Christianity on a new and more certain empirical basis and must now serve as the point of departure for all subsequent research. . . . Lampe has expanded our database and has provided the most extensive social profile of Roman Christianity currently available." -- ---John H. Elliott, Catholic Biblical Quarterly

Go educate yourself, please.

We here (many of us here) are tired of trying to do it for you.
