Jesus was speaking of the Jews, not the Apostles. It would help if you get it straight.
JESUS The WORD is The Final Authority!
Very good. I might advise you to stop substituting your own word for His. The Bible is clear. The Church was instituted by God. There were a number of churches that deviated from Catholic teachings almost immediately. 10 points if you can name them.
It is you who needs to get it straight. Catholicism is man made teachings. Praying to/for the dead, rosary, idolatry with the Queen of Heaven - the list is endless.
The Bible is clear.
Yet, your papa says his church needs to explain it to their flock. And that's why catholicism has their own bible, the catechism. Just like mormons and muslims, do.
I might advise you to stop substituting your own word for His.
I'll advise you not to ignore God's Word. I gave you Scripture and you say it's for 'another'. How's that for ignoring Scripture. When did 'man' die for you that you feel the need to bow to 'man' and obey Rome and their soldiers?
"Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the Truth." 1 Tim 4:3
"Whoever does God's will is My brother and sister and mother." Mark 3:35
How worldly - game playing....There were a number of churches that deviated from Catholic teachings almost immediately. 10 points if you can name them.
Things will get serious to you when it's too late.
