Keep telling yourself that. Long after you and I are gone, and the protestant heresy has been consigned to the dustbin of history the Catholic Church will still be here. Leading the faithful to Christ.
Where were you and your co-religionists when we fought the Mohammedan horde? Oh, that's right. Not even a twinkle in Martin Luther's eye. The Catholic Church survived, thrived and pushed back the Islamic invasion. The Church has forgotten more about defeating Islam than any post-modern protestant will ever know.
For a protestant who rejects the Roman Catholic Church as a bastion of superstition and symbolism you seem to place a lot of "faith" in this.
But then it does illustrate my original point. Protestants hate the Church and wish to see it fall. How do your nightly prayers go. Something like, "Dear Jesus please bring down your Wrath on the Romanist Papacy?"
If anything protestants are nothing but a tool of Islam. Dividing the Body of Christ with their religious pluralism.
Where was Catholicism when Apostles walked the earth? Oh that’s right. Nowhere. Christian Judaism was the religion of that day. It will be again before He comes.
Another claim with no documentation.
Good post.
How many times must we tell you that Christ founded his church on those apostles, the first bishops!
It’s in your Bible — he breathed on them and the Holy Spirit entered them.
So are you saying that you don’t believe Jesus and the Apostles?
Catholicism began in the upper room at Pentecost. When the Holy Sprit led the Apostles to all Truth of the Faith according to the promise of Christ. Long before any modern novelty of protestant understanding.
No it did not. Hope for all of mankind began in that room. Gods ministry began in that room. The institution that became Catholicism came later.
So it’s entirely possible he was a widower when he met Jesus.
Your religion is playing tricks on your mind...The scripture doesn't say Peter had both of his legs so should we assume he rode around in a wheel chair???
I am not surprised your religion comes up with this stuff but it amazes me normal people buy into it...
If Peter's wife was dead, Peter didn't have a wife...But su-prise, su-prise...If you guys would only read and believe scripture you wouldn't be wasting your time with junk like this...
1Co 9:5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
So now we know that Peter was leading around a sister, or a wife...My money's on the wife...
Also, and this is what I found particularly interesting I don’t know why I didn’t think of it, he was at his mother-in-law’s house and she was the one waiting on them. I do believe if his wife was alive at the time, she would have been the one waiting on them at his (their) house.
My God, why don't you people read the scriptures before you comment on them???
Mat_8:14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.
It was Peter's house, NOT his mother in law's...
Mat 8:15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them
The MIL didn't minister unto anyone, until she was healed of the fever...And obviously it was to show that she had been healed and was well enough to minister...
Peter shared his house with his brother and God knows who else...There likely were a number of women there ministering unto the men, and kids...
