[Diego1618]

I say it's obvious that the Church Jesus founded in the Gospels, the Church in the Acts of the Apostles, the Church to which Peter, Paul, James, John, etc. wrote their letters was and is what we now call the Catholic Church.

Your Church bears no resemblance to this New Testament Church described in scripture. Even with your claim of being able to change things.....as you go along....it's still silly to even claim any similarity. Most people see this. Unfortunately for you....you don't. You have been led to believe fairy tales!

Who are you to claim that I'm wrong? By what authority would you presume to do so?

I have the authority of scripture on my side. Wanna' debate?

On the contrary, it most obviously does. It has deacons, presbyters, and overseers appointed by and as successors to the Apostles, it has decisions being made in council presided over by Peter (chief Apostle), it has the Eucharist ("breaking of the bread") as the real presence of Christ ...

Frankly, there's nothing to debate.

I have the authority of scripture on my side.

No more so than I do ...
