WHOA! Nelly.
I don’t want to pick on the Catholic “religion”, but...
Would Jesus be happy with the Catholic Church today?
Pedophile priests by the truckload.
Amassed wealth and property in the BILLIONS, while children STARVE!
A hierarchy of pope, cardinals, and bishops living the life of kings managing their wealth.
Calling their “pope” the “Holy Father” and all priests “father”
Matthew 23:9
“And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.”
I have read Catholic apologists trying to spin this. They have to try to defeat this verse no matter what because it is easy for all to understand.
To understand this verse for those who need it....
Just substitute “God” for “father”, because THAT is what Jesus was talking about.
And do not call anyone on earth ‘God,’ for you have one God, and he is in heaven.
Would you call the pope “the Holy God? Would you call your priest “God”?
I would hope not!
“Your church is filled with butt screwing pedophiles and you think it’s God’s Church?”
An individual whose mind is filled with such depraved imagery and language as yours is not much better, no?
“The part you don’t understand is that all of your study is worth nothing if you don’t understand what Jesus was saying...
“The difference between you and I is that I have actually gone out ...
.....
Wrong twice. Your record is intact.
I served as a missionary for +3 years.
If you come up with something true, and not a logical fallacy or personal attack, perhaps even a fact, please ping me.
In the meantime, I wish you salvation.
The truth hurts, doesn’t it?
“An individual whose mind is filled with such depraved imagery and language as yours is not much better, no?”
It is the truth about what homo priests are doing to children - and even at the Vatican drug and homosexual parties reported in the news.
I’m trying to wrap my mind around “I’m gay and want to go to an LDS church” after all the clamor about leaving churches that don’t bow and scrape to them
Peter would be surprised to hear that. I doubt he would recognize the Roman sect as it is today
Why?
Also, all bishops were to be picked by lay members. That hasn’t happened, ever, in the Catholic church.
Why?
Peter was never the rock. Peter was never a pope. Scripture supports this position and not yours.
Just because the Roman said to consider is paid on the first Catholic pope does not make it so. Otherwise I would pay people to consider me thin
Actually, the kid doesn’t appear to claim that.
Because like all other institutions the gay mafia wishes to infiltrate destroy anything that as opposed to them
The Catholic Church may believe Peter was the first Pope but the question is whether Peter knew he was Catholic.
: )
Amen
You have no idea about what the Bible says, do you?
They were called “Christians:”

Just because the roman sect considers peter. Sheesh Big fingers little keys
When someone becomes a God Parent it includes all the duties of a Faithful Christian Steward.
That would be to step in an instruct the child when in need if the biological/adoptive parent/s are not doing that duty.
This is why being a God Parent is a DUTY and not a SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.
A church which allows a Baptism of a child to parents clearly outside the Church is not doing its correct duty.
Jesus was very clear about the treatment of Children.
Also as clear is the Remonstration that Sin/evil will flow down to the next generation.
Christians walking the walk need to be prepared to understand how difficult their walk as God Parents will be before they accept that duty.
