Maybe St Abraham was the first pope??
please explain if the Catholic Church did not set the 27 book NT canon, who did? The Baptists?
Now it’s confirmed:
You have a paper head. And you act like it.
Since you’ve stopped arguing the point, it means you have nothing. Sorry.
Once again, and as usual, you fail.

Why must it be assumed infants are in the house? What rational evidence exists?
Peter thought He was.. was He blasphemous?
1Pe 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain conversation [received] by tradition from your fathers;
1Pe 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1Pe 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
How about those that hung Jesus on the cross..were they predestined???Or was that just” bad luck”??
And I showed you from Scripture that your alarming statement is not true.
your question about was Jesus predestined, indicates you believe He is a created being, rather than the Eternal Word, the First and the Last. so yes, it was a ridiculous question, unless you are a JW.
Or was he just the greediest of the apostles?
Galatians 4:4-6
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”
Interesting statement. It does not explain how my head does not got waterlogged in the shower, though. And my scalp appears to be identical to the other skin on my body, so I will have to reject your accusation, as I reject your inane and sophomoric, self serving interpretation of Scripture.
Since you’ve stopped arguing the point, it means you have nothing. Sorry.
We have accord. I find you sorry, too.
Once again, and as usual, you fail.
To bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the heretic, the apostate and the pagan? True; I fail more than I like. Thank you for the admonition.
>>Scripture you can explain how a thinking person knows there are children in the house.<<
The presumption that there are no houses with children in them would be totally ridiculous. If the promise was made to all then one can reasonably conclude that some of those “houses” would include children if not all of them. You certainly wouldn’t intimate that the promise was made only to those that did not contain children would you?
ok, i gave you more credit than that. i thought you would see sarcasm in my post, but i guess that escaped you.
The early church had, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit discerned the inspired writing ... those books were in common use long before Hippo.. GOD inspired the canon.. God preserved the canon...
As I pointed out before the Codex Sinaiticus and the Codex Alexandrianus, show a complete canon existed independant of Rome and earlier than Hippo
Trent codified the canon FOR THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH ..they have no power to codify it for anyone else ... the Canon is a work of God..not men
The only man who deserves a perfect one is one that does this.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Oh and BTW that includes loving her when she makes mistakes too. In case you don’t understand the verses it certainly doesn’t make a wife your door mat .
Man sets the tone for his house . If the tone in his house is bad he had better start asking himself what he is doing that the tone in his house is bad.
Tell Peter..maybe he was a JW huh?
It amazes me that Catholics can not allow God to have a plan of Salvation.. it all just sorta happened.. and the excuses are so scripturally dumb ... They have no idea of the sovereignty of God.. I guess they think the types and shadows and the prophecy in the OT was just a good guess..
Jesus was prophesied in Genesis.. but they seem to think that the plan started when Mary was born and God said "look..there is a PERFECT mother for you..finally .."
Pathetic
And where, in Act 2 did Peter speak of the gospel of the grace of God, that is, that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day?
My contention is that both Peter and Paul were right. THey both had commissions given directly by Jesus Christ. Peter understood FULLY his commission given to him by Christ. And Paul understood FULLY his commission given directly to him by Christ.
Do you actually believe the Bible contains everything Paul said? probably it contains less than 1/1,000.
So it's what WASN"T recorded by the Holy Spirit that matters? As is in most RCC teachings, it's what's IMPLICITLY stated rather than EXPLICITLY stated that matters most.
The Holy Spirit was INDEED the source for both Peter and Paul. And yet Paul wasn't made one of the 12 when Judas committed suicide, was he? Why do you think that is, if they both had the same message and commission?
Telling ya Doc.. Scriptural ignorance is a free will decision ... :)
Let’s not forget, they launched into name calling, obfuscations, and other smoke and mirror tactics from the get go.
Must mean they know they are wrong.
