Well, if anyone believes that, I have some prime real estate down in the Georgia Okefenokee swamp!
"So you ARE a LIAR, aren't you?"
I'm still awaiting how you square how Peter was a Christian before JC died on the cross and rose again.
Already done.
So you ARE a LIAR, aren't you?
You make a charge about me, but won't substantiate it because it cannot be substantiated: it is a lie.
Who were you referring to in your post 258 in reference to Wagglebee's post 256?
Please clarify it for me. Thanks.
'Control' is an ambiguous term. You are correct that God can act apart from the Apostles. God is not limited. The Apostles and the Catholic Church have always taught this. But, God has appointed certain means through which to build His Church. Even in the passage to which you referred (Acts 10), the Holy Spirit came on the people as Peter was preaching to them. The very words of Peter (as he preached the Gospel) were in this case sacramental. Why doesn't Philip baptize the Samarians in the Holy Spirit (in Acts 8)? Why must the Church send Peter and John? (Acts 8:14) Philip was not an Apostle; he was a deacon. (Acts 6)
The same is true today. Yes, God could send His Holy Spirit to someone. But the appointed means is through the bishops in succession from the Apostles.

I said "And the devil tells a thousand lies."
I was referring to the devil. See it there? The word in bold? (The bold word is the really dark one.)
You didn't presume I was referring to you, did you? Because that would be very telling, from a psychological standpoint.
In relation to Martin Luther and those who are anti catholic.
Come on! Who is the liar now?
Marajade, Marajade, Marajade! You don't use acronyms for anyone else's name, why do you insist on abbreviating the most beautiful, Holy Name of our Lord? Darn woman! That's like fingernails going down a chalkboard to me.
Somehow.....I feel very comforted by that fact. Especially when I am in disagreement with the Apostate Catholic Church. The Church that claims to have all authority to stipulate what is what when it comes to theology......but in reality the organization is nothing but a vehicle for false doctrine that deceives the world.
The spirit, the water and the blood.
These are the things that agree!
You are. QED
Judge and jury again I see. Thankfully you aren't the final arbitrator.
Tell the truth. You saw the word "lies" and presumed I meant you.
It's okay to admit it, it's a very logical conclusion.
Please clarify who you were referring to? I understood it as Martin Luther who brought the gospel to the common people.
Who is that? Johnny Cash?

Already done, above.
You're pathetic.
You're embarrassing yourself. Badly.
Thanks for the clarification.
