I do not believe it is possible to insult you.
And now you still bug me, when you have nothing to show for it. Where are all the answers to the questions and challenges I made?
I have answered them - as anyone who knows the Bible would appreciate.
Still waiting on your explanation of Pope Gregory the First, which Ive asked you about more than just a few times now
Negative. I asked you which Pope Gregory you referred to and you did not answer. I offered some possible scenarios and you still did not answer. Where did you learn your debating techniques? Princeton?
which Ive asked you about more than just a few times now, and just WHEN the Holy Roman Church finally got around to establishing the allegedly always-existent tradition of the Primacy of Rome.
You haven't asked about the development of the Primacy of the Bishop of Rome. Answer: it developed by Nicea. Look it up.
“Negative. I asked you which Pope Gregory you referred to and you did not answer.”
Yes I did. I identified him as Pope Gregory the First to you directly, TWICE. I’ve identified him multiple times, dealing with multiple people in this thread. There’s even a citation of where it’s from, so you could have searched it yourself. I even told you to look at the quote(s) I posted in this thread, where I identify him directly. I quoted it again at Narses. I quoted it again at Mrs.Don-o. I quoted it right at the start of this thread.
Is it me, or are you marvelous at wasting people’s time?
“I offered some possible scenarios and you still did not answer.”
Possible scenarios? Let’s look:
“And to which Gregory (Gregorius) are you referring? There were 16. If you are referring to Gregory the Great, are you alluding to the creation of the Pre Tridentine Mass? If so, does that mean that with my fondness of the Tridentine Mass, you would claim that I don’t hold the same beliefs as him?”
First of all, this is one scenario, and its not even a scenario. It’s basically a scenario wherein you utterly ignore what I wrote. The simple answer is: No. It has nothing to do with the Pre-Tridentine mass. If you read the quote, you would not have said it had anything to do with the Pre-Tridentine mass. The quote I provided you says nothing about the Pre-Tridentine mass.
So here it is, again, in all its glory. Let’s see what the next waste of time you throw at me will be:
Pope Gregory placing the throne of Peter under three Bishops:
Whereas there were many apostles, yet for the principality itself, one only see of the apostles prevailed, in authority, which is of one, but in three places. For he elevated the see in which he condescended to rest, and to finish his present life. He decorated the see, to which he sent his disciple the evangelist, and he established the see, in which, although he intended to leave it, he sat for seven years. Since there fore the see is of one and is one, over which three bishops preside by divine authority, whatsoever good I hear of you, I ascribe to myself. And if you hear any good of me, number it among your merits, be- cause we are all one in him who says, that all should be one, as thou, O Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they may be one in us. In the Eulogy to the Bishop of Alexandria
Theodoret references the same belief when he places the throne of Peter under the Bishop of Antioch:
Dioscorus, however, refuses to abide by these decisions; he is turning the See of the blessed Mark upside down; and these things he does though he perfectly well knows that the Antiochene (of Antioch) metropolis possesses the throne of the great Peter, who was teacher of the blessed Mark, and first and coryphæus (head of the choir) of the chorus of the apostles. Theodoret - Letter LXXXVI - To Flavianus, Bishop of Constantinople.
