And Christ Himself commanded the parable be learned ... And when the good ol 'holy fathers' changed the WORD to a Rome Apple orchard and a literal snake is found in the branches, then remove Eve as the mother of the living ... credibility ceases to exist.
Yet, Christ was there in that Garden of God symbolized as a 'tree of life'... Hebrews 2:14 lays out WHY this 'flesh' earth age had to happen. It was Christ , in the tomb, who went to the prisoners since the time of Noah to be offered 'salvation' ... I did not read anything about a communion taking place .. But, we are told that Lazarus was in the bosom of Abraham, so Abraham is Christian... And NOT one hint any of this relied upon some johnny come after, flesh man, calling himself 'holy father' ... I do not worship man made organizations.
There are 7 named 'churches ' in the book of Revelation ... NOT one is called Catholic... and only two of them teach a doctrine that Christ found NO fault.
Sadly, for people to claim Peter's keys have made up a doctrine of moth eaten cloth... What happened on Pentecost day, wherein Peter made Joel the prophet one and the same as the Gospel... We are living Joel's prophecy and 'we the people' are paying a bunch of frauds to destroy our country. And they call themselves 'charities'... We were warned what would happened...
IIPeter 3 lays out what is unfolding ... Peter says worship the climate, make that a doctrine? Eat flesh and drink blood ... Lot of ignoring 'Lot's wife taking place.. According to Peter there is coming an earthly clean up wherein all that offends the Heavenly Father will be destroyed. Christ did NOT say one thing about Thomas Aquinas... As a matter of FACT before any of the so called New Testament got placed on plant fibers, animal skins, or chiseled onto stone ... Mark 13:23 Christ declared " But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things".
I follow Christ and not a bunch of money grubbers that make right wrong and wrong right.
Your argument structure is so haphazard, and your trains of thought ramble all over the place; it's hard to parse what you're even arguing about.
I mean, take this for instance: There are 7 named 'churches ' in the book of Revelation ... NOT one is called Catholic...
...and? St. John is writing about specific Churches in particular geographic locations. That's not evidence for or against them being in communion with the Catholic Church; it's a complete non sequitur.
For example, take the Church of Philadelphia, which is known in the modern day as Alaşehir in Turkey; there is an extant epistle of St. Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch, that was specifically addressed to the Philadelphians. He doesn't use the word 'Catholic' either in this epistle, but one doubts that St. Ignatius was a bishop of the Catholic Church. He didn't have to, because it was taken for granted that they were being written to by a lawful bishop of Christ's Church. So your contention is a total nothingburger.
