Yes, actually it was.
“It’s a pity your religion gets it’s hooks into so many before before they’ve had a chance to get their hooks into the scripture...”
Uh, that doesn’t even make sense as a sentence. When you can form a coherent sentence let me know.
“But then I assume they aren’t looking for Jesus anyway...They are looking for a religion...”
We have a religion - Christianity - and it’s from Jesus.
“Now that’s a crazy statement...”
No, it’s perfectly rational. Again, which came first? If the Church came before the New Testament - and it did - then we know the Church is not based on the New Testament. The New Testament is based on the Church’s teachings as handed down from Christ to the Apostles.
“Jesus revealed to Paul how He wanted His church set up...Paul set about to put these instructions on paper and made sure they were read in the churches...And those instructions are ONLY in the scriptures...”
And the Church already existed BEFORE Paul. All Paul did was hand down in writing and orally what was already known and taught.
You---Uh, that doesn’t even make sense as a sentence. When you can form a coherent sentence let me know.
Makes sense to me...What, you couldn't figure out that I left out 'people'??? So many 'people'???
What happened to that God inspired logic and common sense you guys are always bragging about???And the Church already existed BEFORE Paul.
Not as we know it...The Gospel of Grace was revealed thru Paul by Jesus Christ...The adoption of of Gentiles into this church to make the Jews jealous was revealed thru Paul by Jesus Christ...
All Paul did was hand down in writing and orally what was already known and taught
That's what your religion teaches you??? So you are saying the Lord didn't reveal anything 'new' to the Apostle Paul...How ridiculous...
What ever would there be need of a 'new' Apostle??? Matthew, Mark, Luke or John could have written all those epistles of Paul then...Why did God waste His time with a new Apostle AFTER He was Crucified???
The teaching of your religion is very much in opposition of what the scriptures teach...I would encourage any and every Lurker to pick up a Bible to read and prayerfully ask Jesus to help you open your understanding before you consider joining a Catholic church...
Luk 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
