Wow! 2,000!!!
An example was when the Pastors preaching that day tied directly into my personal Bible study at home.....without skipping a beat....was really amazing...as there was no way I could have known or the Pastor what each was doing....on leaving the sanctuary, and smiling within that the Lord had met my desire for confirmation... I noted a large tapestry on the wall which stopped me in my tracks...another confirmation as this is a rare depiction not seen in churches ...and of which I have a copy adorning my home.. purchased to comfort my heart at a very troubling and uncertain time in my life...I had to sit down for only the Lord knew the meaning of this to me.
There were others of course, but when I say personal I meant just that...these confirmations were not from people welcoming me there, nor a Pastors visit, nor any outside influences, but strictly between the Lord and I...and in such ways HE knew would assure me of my decision.
Thereafter you then determine what the church has to offer and your place within it. This too He reveals as you attend further along.
This is having a relationship with the Lord where He clearly and without question has already moved ahead of where you are and has the table set and waiting for you...you only need to walk to it.
Substitute is not the same as replacement.

Origin of VICAR
Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin vicarius, from vicarius vicarious
First Known Use: 14th century
Those words were addressed to all of the Apostles. Not just Peter.
Aw geez, not this post again. Did you ever ask yourself why every post you ever made with a punctuation error is brought up ad naseum, but the actual content of your posts is ignored. The only logical answer is that there is an aversion to the truth.
(See post #1961 - **** isn 't a dirty word unless one has a dirty mind)
What I said, and if you would go back and READ, is that I am not ROMAN Catholic. I will stand before God’s Throne with the assurance that I have not rejected him, nor his Holy Mother, nor His most Holy, and Catholic Church.
Look to your OWN salvation.
The only supposed errors were “found” by heretical men, who didn’t have a clue to the Truth, nor the wisdom to know it.

They didn’t have garage churches in 96 AD, or any other time.
Your Church exists only in YOUR mind. The Holy Catholic Church was established by Christ himself.
Your facts are NOT Historical, but Hysterical...LOL!
If you don’t even know of the historical errors in the Apocrypha the jokes on you.
Again, your beef is with the Western Church. On the Eastern side, we have no such group. Our Doctrine and dogma was established by the Seven Holy Ecumenical Councils.
I might be mistaken, but other than the Church councils, and the Pope speaking ex cathedra, the Roman side doesn’t claim perfection either.
It is amazing what hatred is manifested by those who claim they were once “Catholic”
LOL - no garages then either. House Churches were underground affairs, like the Irish Hedge Schools, done to skirt the authorities and the laws that made Christianity a capital offense. I wonder if any of these guys take Acts 4:32 literally enough to pool their possessions and engage in communal living in.
You had best get down off of your mule. or remove the splinter from your OWN eye.
And posts with "***" or "#^$@" etc. in places where potty language would apply WILL be pulled as "references to potty language."
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Only you pulled my post with no explanation and there is nothing on your home page addressing the situation. At least I got an explanation.
But it’s ok to use it in a tag line as does smvoice?
Your mistake was assuming there was something in their minds.
No, it’s not important enough for me to go back and read. Roman Catholic, Catholic, devoted Catholic, self-described devoted Catholic, potato, potahto. Whatever..
No it is not ok. smvoice, drop the tagline - the one with the potty language reference “*#@!” when posting on the Religion Forum.
