Rome's Meaningless Claim to "Unbroken Chain Of Succession"

Nah I posted the exact source I wanted to in response to to a defamatory response to my earlier post:

I attend morning Mass on average three times a week and I have been told by protestants that Catholics hear more scripture at Mass everyday than a protestant hears on a Sunday. YMMV

In addition to scripture I am ready the Apostolic and Early Church Fathers, which I know is not a big favorite with some protestants, however many protestants on this forum have studied the Church Fathers extensively.

thanks for your helpful suggestion as it is hard to go wrong by recommending someone read scripture.

I believe daily Mass and reception of the Eucharist keeps me close to the Lord.

Here was resettozero’s response to my witness of my faith:

“And were He to post to you on this forum, how would you recognize Him? Would He be another Roman Catholic poster? Even more important, would He know you. “

AND his next reply:
“And you seem mistaken about many other things as well.

You have no idea who the Lord Jesus Christ is, do you?”

Again I make a simple statement of my Catholic faith and I get those replys from him.

My reply citing the Eucharist and its scriptural basis is exactly why I try to go to Mass and receive the Eucharist daily. Why he would take offense to that is amazing.

Anyway I appreciate your offer however I am too old and to busy to debate my faith of almost 70 years. I do read your posts and find them at least on point and not derogatory as some others. Thanks

Replies I stand by.

Believing in a religion for nearly 70 years or just 70 minutes does not make that religion true.

Devotion to an untruth does not make it true...in 70,000 years.

Religion alone does not save anyone from having to pay for their sin debts. Belief in and following Jesus Christ alone by the Holy Spirit does.

The Scripture and the Spirit behind the Holy Bible is true. The four Gospels are worthy of constant re-reading by a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ as the ONLY Savior. The remainder of the written Word of God is reliable also.

why of course you must be right - after all your a protestant and your ‘divinely inspired’ interpretation of scripture must always be right. How about the Lutherans and Anglicans and Orthodox who believe that the Eucharist of John 6 is REAL.

but after all a Catholic receiving the Eucharist as commanded by Christ in John 6 - can never equal a protestant just reading John 6.

I attend Mass, give thanks, worship the Lord and receive the Eucharist as often as I can during the week just like 40 or 50 others do daily in our little Catholic church in the middle of nowhere.

we all do it -

For the Greater Glory of God

I attend Mass, give thanks, worship the Lord and receive the Eucharist as often as I can during the week just like 40 or 50 others do daily in our little Catholic church in the middle of nowhere.

What you call the Eucharist (in the Mass) is a religious and not Scriptural ritual that has practically nothing to do with what the Lord Jesus Christ, on the night before He went to the cross, said for us to do IN REMEMBRANCE OF HIM, as often as we will.

You appear to be mistaken also about other things relating to the Lord Jesus Christ and Who He is, based on your confessions in these posts.

But, apparently, you seem to love your RC church as much if not more than you do just the Lord Jesus Christ, the Author and Completer of our saving faith.

Have you truly examined the Scriptural claims Jesus made about Himself? Time is running out.

Luke 18:9-14 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’

But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
