You guys know so little about the scriptures...
Paul was not a bishop...Paul was an Apostle...Paul was THE Apostle of the adoption...That doesn't sound primary to you???
I'd like you to stand back and look at this statement. This is a very good demonstration of what is wrong with the children of the Reformation. The primary teacher of the early Church (for three years) was Christ.
The church wasn't mentioned by Jesus til Matthew 16...And then Jesus spoke of it as a future operation...
That's why the Reformation took place...You guys are telling the same stories that your religion told before the scriptures were revealed to the common people...
Thanks but no thanks...We have the God breathed scriptures that cuts your religion off at the knees...
Paul was not a bishop...Paul was an Apostle...Paul was THE Apostle of the adoption...That doesn't sound primary to you???
Since we wrote them, we know something of them. Paul was a bishop. Not the first bishop; James, Peter, Thomas and so on had their flocks even before Paul was converted. Paul was never Pope. Primary in what way?
The church wasn't mentioned by Jesus til Matthew 16...And then Jesus spoke of it as a future operation...
I see. So the Church being taught by Jesus was not a valid teaching? Interesting. Good thing Paul came along and corrected things.

I don't have a religion. I follow Jesus the Christ in the Church that He Created and the Holy Spirit commissioned at Pentecost. The Scriptures were revealed to the common people from the beginning; the NT was put together about 398 AD. You have an interesting grasp of history.
