Come on, Vlad, you can throw better misdirection than that, can't you? The truth is, I exposed your lies, and you don't want anyone to know. This is what you wrote early on:
>>>Christ, as the Savior, sent His Church, the Catholic Church, into the world to bring the forgiveness<<<
I was astonished anyone would write such a thing. Christ sent 'THE CATHOLIC CHURCH"? Only a complete novice would believe that.
In a recent thread, you changed your strategy and hid your true belief with this "photo-shopped" version:
>>>Jesus said He would establish the Church and He did. The Church is His Body, His Bride. The gospel and Church always go together. There is no way to separate them.<<<
And I replied with a qualified "that is correct." That is, the only reason I wrote, "that is correct," is because you left out the "Catholic Church is the Church" part. And I qualified my post with 10 verses of scripture that demonstrated the Church of the Firstborn in heaven has nothing in common with the Catholic "Church."
And how did you respond? Did you compare God's Word that I provided with your previous claims? Did you point out how "heavenly mount Sion" and "heavenly Jerusalem" and the "holy temple is within you" all correspond to the doctrine of the Catholic "Church?"
No. You came back with, as I said, the dumbest post I have read in my 14 years on FR, as follows:
>>>Thanks for admitting I was correct.<<<
That was it? I referenced scripture that completely contradicts what you wrote earlier--that the Catholic "Church" was Sent by Christ to bring forgiveness--and you had no rebuttal?
LOL!

You admitted I was right. You in no way “exposed [my] lies” because I didn’t post any.
“I was astonished anyone would write such a thing. Christ sent ‘THE CATHOLIC CHURCH”?”
Sure did.
“Only a complete novice would believe that.”
No, actually I’m an experienced Church historian. I haven’t been a novice in at least two decades. A novice, however, would post as you do.
“And I qualified my post with 10 verses of scripture that demonstrated the Church of the Firstborn in heaven has nothing in common with the Catholic “Church.””
Your qualification - which is erroneous - in no way changes the fact that you said I was right and I thanked your for admitting it. I have no idea why that bothers you. If it bothers you to be thanked for stating what is true, then isn’t that a problem that is all your own?
“That was it?”
Yes. Why does it bother you to be thanked for pointing out a truth which you yourself agreed with?
“I referenced scripture that completely contradicts what you wrote earlier—that the Catholic “Church” was Sent by Christ to bring forgiveness—and you had no rebuttal?”
You in no way referenced any scripture that contradicted anything I said. What verses you posted in no way even addressed the issue. No rebuttal was needed for you never actually addressed the issue.
