Portraying the Catholic church as the only true church in opposition to the scripture is attacking my church. Claiming the works of God as its own is attacking my faith.
so why atttack mine?
Principally because of these.
2 Timothy 4:1-22, 2 Cor 10:3-5, Titus 1:9, Phil 1:12-18, Jude 1:3
I understand it can be hard to hear, but I like any Christian I must obey God rather than man. Acts 5:29 The RF can be difficult, there are ecumenical and caucus threads for those that wish to discuss matters like these in a non-threatening atmosphere. Pliant silence will not do when souls are threatened by false doctrine.
Well I accept those passages also. They are part of the Bible.
That’s good, but know you know the why?
Because the Apostle St. Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit wrote them.
Yes he did, but now you know the answer to the ‘why’ you asked me. Paul wasn’t shy about the Gospel nor was he limited in his reproach to those who would try and change it. He was a great preacher.
Still post 44 is correct.
So was Peter and John, who are both on the equal level with Paul as great preachers as well.
Different audiences, different tasks, different styles, the men the Lord used for His purposes.
The church was founded on Scripture, not the way Roman Catholic twist it around.
One poster’s opinion. I will leave it at that.
No.
God gave us Scripture, not Rome.
NO! God give us scripture via the Church! Is this NOT CLEAR!?
You have been put on mental ignore. Done.
Yet scripture does point out that Jesus says to Peter that he is “rock and on that I will build my church.” Case closed.
Which does nothing to give the Roman Catholic Church permanant pass on all things good and rightous.
That was frittered away centuries ago.
Peter’s confession, yes.
Peter as an insitution, no.
Again you are wrong.
Case is closed. Do not post to me again.
No I’m not. I will pray for you.
Once you stop posting to me I will do the same.
It’s simple, don’t reply to this.
