[Dr. Eckleburg]

lol. It's pretty funny when the RC apologist reads Philip Schaff and sees support for Rome. It's not there. Read his conclusion...

"...It must in justice be admitted, however, that the list of Roman bishops has by far the preeminence in age, completeness, integrity of succession, consistency of doctrine and policy, above every similar catalogue, not excepting those of Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, and Constantinople; and this must carry great weight with those who ground their views chiefly on external testimonies, without being able to rise to the free Protestant conception of Christianity and its history of development on earth."

Schaff is saying that Rome has been fairly consistent in its apostasy and superstition, and this consistency appeals to RC apologists who do not base their beliefs on Scripture but upon "external testimonies." Thus they are incapable of achieving the Biblical validity of Protestants.

Keep reading Schaff. It can only help.

They see what they want to see. Which explains the Virgin Mary in toast and salami.

Yet Protestant critic admits the historicity of Peter's line of succession in Rome. That was my only point.

INDEED.

Tthat is exactly what we have witnessed here over and over again. apostasy and superstition are from the pit.

Satan hates The Word and he will use anyone who is usable to kill/rob/destroy It. But since the gates of hell will not prevail against His Church and HIS WORD will stand forever, those darts end up being boomerangs and the throwers end up destroying themselves.

God will not be mocked for what they sow; they reap, MORE than they sow and LATER than they sowed. Their destiny/ eternity is where deception started in the pit. How one lives is how ones dies. What they gave out, they get back.
