[Invincibly Ignorant]

Funny how THAT bit of scripture seems to be ignored sometimes

No, its only your interpretation of that bit of scripture that gets ignored.

Funny how it was accepted by those who actually HEARD the Words of Jesus, and for several hundred years afterward, since they were the ones who spread Jesus's Word from the ONLY Christian denomination, which eventually came to be called the Catholic Church.

Somewhere along the way, someone decided they didn't like the idea of Peter and his successors as heads of the Church on earth, so they interpreted the scripture differently, and from there, other Christian communities emerged. Some were more closely tied to the Catholic Church, which was then called ROMAN Catholic, because Rome is where Peter ended up, and from there his successors administrated the Church.

Others, later on, rejected the Catholic Church totally, and began to denigrate her, to the point they even want to deny that she was founded from that early Church instituted by Jesus. Thus we are in the situation we have in the world today.

“No, its only your interpretation of that bit of scripture that gets ignored.”

And, sadly, adhered to by many.

Now why would someone who disdains Christian teaching even be interested in such a thread except to sow discord?

And who would that ultimately serve?
