Why, Hinn and Robertson are not Presbyterians ~ not even independent Presbyterians?
I sure don't see God reproving the Catholic Church, nor it being found a liar...therefore you are misapplying the Scripture ;o)
Only reason to say that is to note that many Protestant denominations have found themselves having to create a missionary group organized pretty much like a Catholic church. It's some sort of inescapable model.
It's not that Catholics aren't Christians ~ they've simply not figured out how to organize themselves and "do church" on their own.
The purpose of Protestantism is simply to test out an almost infinite variety of ways Christians might well (or can) organize to do God's work. (Not at all surprising God would allow infinite varieties). Slowly but surely Catholics are catching on ~ even if only for a designated lay person to carry the host to a shut-in on Sunday.
That’s an interesting perspective. I’m genuinely glad to read it.

Claiming descent from an apostle is a common element in the older model Christian churches. The newer models dispense with finding it a necessity ~ particularly those who claim the special guidance of the Holy Spirit.
From the very foundation she was/is a special category person. Although I don't agree with the Catholic church in the way it goes about dealing with this special situation I'm not in a position to offer any substitute for them beyond noting that her existence was prophesied. Mine wasn't. Yours wasn't. Doggone near nobody for the last 2000 years was. Hers was.
Is there a special way to do a tracing back to an apostle when looking into the histories of church communites?
So protestants are abandoning the extra-scriptura tradition of sola scriptura, while some protestants are arguing to maintain the reformation tradition of sola scriptura.
How ironic...

Problem is that many of the folks in the standard lists have a reality equivalent to that of the earliest Japanese Emperors (during the same periods).
They didn't exist, or if they did, their existence was inferred by those living at some remove.
Remember, during the Dark Ages most of your written material ended up on the cabin fireplace.
It is not possible to prove or disprove Apostolic succession ~ so I don't worry about it. I also do not believe in faith-healing!
Pray that he puts the words into practice and deed.
She was a sinner who needed a Savior.
Wrong wrong wrong.
The Angel Gabriel announced to the world “Hail Full of grace”.
And the kecharitomene is the past perfect form meaning ALWAYS full of grace.
You cannot have always been full of grace and be a sinner.

lol. Amen. Too bad some will wait that long.
However, better late than never. 8~)
How long is the OLDEST member of your splinter? 500 years??
Yeah I'm sure that some of the “traditions” in your “church” are all of two weeks old.
And during the Dark Ages the sola scripture you guys count on was preserved by the monks and religious working under the direction of Rome.
It must really frost your cookies that Catholic saints like Jerome and Catholic monks in Catholic monasteries preserved what did come down to your sect.
Almost any documents which passed through the Dark Ages were almost certainly preserved by the Catholic Church.

Must really frost your cookies that Jews preserved 2/3rd's of your writings 1500 years before your tradition existed.

LOL
I didn't know you'd been let back after your previous unforgivable anti-Catholic slur.
Catholics thank God for the profound gifts of the Old Testament.
I have no problem understanding God’s word and I don’t need the pope to think for me.
Scripture says: “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.” John 16:13.
“Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:19-20.
