No thanks, I will stick with Christian stations. Catholics teach stuff not in the Bible. And no, Catholics are NOT Christians.
Thanks for your opinion.
Have a nice day.
>> And no, Catholics are NOT Christians.<<
Righter-than-rush, your ignorance is showing.
Do Catholics go to hell as a sort of first principles thing?
Well, if there's one thing your post makes clear, you didn't learn grammar in a Catholic school.
Where did you get your Bible, btw?
Enough of that spew. Take seven days off.
When I am among secularists, a fellow believer and follower of Christ is a breath of fresh air. If we could just be a little more civil and Christ like with fellow Christians, this would be a much kinder and Christian world!
What Christian are you?
Jesus said to Peter “You are the rock and upon the rock I shall build my church ..and the gates of hell shall not prevail...”(*)
So, it was no less than Jesus who created hierarchy among his disciples and it was Simon called PETER (English name for Latin Petrus) who was chosen by Jesus as a leader for His church.
Jesus, naming Simon a “Petrus”,(petrus means ‘a rock’ in the Latin language), actually named him “a-solid-powerful-foundation”, He named him “a solid rock” and then proclaimed to build his everlasting Church upon that "powerful foundation", Simon Petrus.
Conclusions:
Did Jesus manage to build His invincible Church by giving its fate to the hands of Peter? Let's see:
Peter passed down his leadership and the inheritance of Christ to his disciple Mark, Mark passed it down to...[...]...passed down to John Paul II and JP2 to Benedict XVI.
(see relevant sources!)
So, there is only one legal line of leaders passed down from st.Peter to Benedict XVI, and, as you may know, they are/were leaders of, they are WITHIN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
HOWEVER! WHAT IF PETER'S LINE IS FALSE? What if Peter's legacy broke somewhere within 2000-year period of time? Then...either Jesus was a liar, fully conscious of his lies, or he was a kind of a romantic dreamer who actually didn't know what he said (*)
As far as I am concerned, I believe Jesus is the Son of God, I believe He is the Truth (never lied), I believe Peter was chosen by Him to create His Everlasting Church and Jesus knew His choice was good (wasn't "a romantic dreamer") , and I know the church that had been built upon Simon the Rock finally adopted the name CATHOLIC...and this is the church I proudly belong to.
This church is the only REAL and TRUE Church of Jesus Christ because it was built by Jesus himself upon Simon the Peter and is confirmed by presence and power of the Holy Spirit. And I don't care about all those countless so called "Christian churches" created by many different bigoted visionaries or TV stars like eg. a Watson, a Johnson or a Smith, or any other man in the world, no matter his name.
“Catholics are NOT Christians.” You are entitled to your opinion, even when you are wrong.
What is it that the Catholic Church teaches that is not in the Bible? I’m curious.
Also, do you know by chance who translated the scriptures into the Bible that you are using?
Also, can you tell me if the Bible you use is new or the one that was in use prior to Martin Luther breaking away from the Catholic Church. He used the Catholic Church’s Bible, because until he broke away, there weren’t any Protestants. I think he shortened the Bible by eliminating certain books in the Old Testament, but I wasn’t aware of a new Bible being written. I don’t think St. Jerome was Protestant. Let us know who wrote your Bible.
