No he is a 3X lg
Then he'd be a Living Prophet®; the ONLY man on earth that god speaks to.
SIN of mere men.
Right; tery?
Right because the jews that had a priesthood and rituals predicted the rise of the one-pope church and sola scriptura inadequa 1500 years before the messiah.
True dis.
Got a whole tote bag full of dissonance you can pull out to defend the catholic religion. If catholiciism were Christianity you would need that gunnysack.
Even if Peter did receive the kind of power and authority that y’all claim he did.
He died.
He’s dead.
And there’s no record of or instruction to anyone about passing that on.
Peter never mentioned it in his epistles and it’s not mentioned in the book of the Acts of the Apostles.
Oh, silly me. Of course. Now I know.
It’s one of those *remembered* things.
Gotcha.
That validates ANYTHING.
Big deal.
Self-proclaimed and self-assigned authority.
Nice trick for a massive power grab.
Well, then, that just very effectively blows out of the water the whole sacred tradition and *remembered later* things.
Who was it who said that if you tell the truth you don’t need to remember what you said? How true
Papal infallibility and speaking ex cathedra have been very effectively nuked by STA reminding us of the church's claim that "The Church teaches that Divine Revelation ended with the death of the last Apostle."
Mediums contact dead human beings.
God interacting with His creatures through the Holy Spirit is not necromancy or sorcery.
Scripture is adequate but the man without the Spirit cannot understand spiritual truths as they are spiritually discerned, which is why none of what we've been telling you about God and Scripture makes any sense to you.
No, not sinless. NO one but Jesus ever lived without sinning.
I have heard it said that the Bible is a “letter” to Christians. I believe it was Chuck Missler.
The point being that the unsaved are equipped to understand the Gospel messages for salvation, but not much more.
None the less, we have many “learned” posters here that intellectualize constantly [some are educated beyond their intelligence] to “explain” what the Bible means but end up mostly believing their traditions which lead them into darkness, and to the Catholic Mary.
He did, and quite well I might add.
Timeline of Pagan Heresies That are now Dogma (which cannot be found in Scripture, without distorting or downright lying about it!)
