We get it, you hate Catholics. You don’t have to keep posting it over and over..

No I love Catholics...I love them enough to spend time posting here so they can understand the deception they have been taught as fact... and hopefully send them to the Bible for the answer

Why do you believe we are wrong and you are right? How do you know for certain it is not reversed?

It's almost as if you read and understood the following passage -- and THEN DID SOMETHING about it:

(2Tim4:1-5)
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober- minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

(I added the emphasis - to help make the point)

We’ll take God’s word, not yours.

Same here. A lot of my family is Catholic. A lot of my Catholic family has gone to their graves lost. It breaks my heart. The Lord in His mercy and grace rescued me.

Your comment: “No I love Catholics...I love them enough to spend time posting here so they can understand the deception they have been taught as fact... and hopefully send them to the Bible for the answer “

Perhaps you just like playing the children's game of king of the mountain. Seeing if you can get to the top by spreading negative attitudes toward the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Catholic Church.

Basically, the Catholic Church has a leader and speaks with authority as delegated by Jesus Christ and will be inspired by the Holy Spirit until the end.

And the other Churches have no leader who speaks with church authority about matters of faith and morals. Apparently, anyone can form a new church and collect vast sums of money.

As the Catholic church has human leaders that are both saints and sinners, and yet The Catholic Church continues to survive and spread the Good News. Could we do it better? Yes, and it takes time to bring people to understand and accept God's gift of Love to us and return their love to God and our neighbor. Do all Catholics fully understand and accept God's Love? Probably no.

If your Faith in God is the Truth, then go spread the Good News about God and thank the Catholic Church for preparing, documenting and preserving the Bible for your use. Also consider that the Catholic Church has provided the Word of God to all as inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Your reliance on Scripture alone ignores that Jesus Christ appointed a leader of His church and that Scripture came from sacred tradition and the leaders of the Catholic Church.

The author does not believe in the authority of the papacy and the magisterium, yet acknowledges Peter as the leader of the Church. Somehow he fails to acknowledge that the Scriptures came both from the Church leaders - the Popes and Bishops and from the magisterium.
