“The bodily resurrection of Mary.”
You mean the Assumption? Mary was not resurrected. She did not die.
“Mary’s sinlessness.”
scripture explicitly states that she was ‘full of grace’. Do you believe that someone who is full of grace can sin?
“Apostolic succession.”
Again - we see it in Acts. The church appointed one of their own to succeed. Apostolic succession is biblical.
“The Catholic Church.”
Oh. I see. When did the Catholic church begin?
“Peter in Rome.”
Peter was in Rome.
“Peter as 1st pope.”
If Peter was the first bishop of Rome, then he was the first pope.
“Almost everything Rome believes and teaches is OUTSIDE the Bible.”
Ok. If one wanted to know what the Catholic church believes - what would you consult?
**You mean the Assumption? Mary was not resurrected. She did not die.**
YOCPIOS (your own church’s personal interpretation of scripture)
**scripture explicitly states that she was ‘full of grace’. Do you believe that someone who is full of grace can sin?**
YOCPIOS. She was given unprecedented favor, in that she would be used to bring forth the fleshly tabernacle of God.
**Again - we see it in Acts. The church appointed one of their own to succeed. Apostolic succession is biblical.**
Sad that your organization won’t follow the man they claim as the first bishop, who followed Jesus Christ orders perfectly, when he ordered baptism in the NAME of JESUS. He knew the name of the Father was JESUS, for the Christ told him that he came in his Father’s name. Peter knew that the Son’s name was JESUS (duh). And Peter knew that the Holy Ghost was to be sent by the Father, in the name of Jesus. (I don’t care how old you claim your church is. Paul ran into people distorting it while on his missionary journeys)
**Peter was in Rome.**
Maybe, maybe not. But, it would certainly help to create more legitimacy if he was said to have been there. Pretty easy to move some bones to another location. How many egyptian mummies are scattered around the world?

Well, I wouldn’t be praying to Mary about it. She’s still sleeping, waiting for the trump of God to sound.
