It continually staggers me what Catholics get all worked up over.
Here they are, blowing a gasket because we insist that JESUS is who the church is founded on instead of Peter.
REALLY?!?!?!
Like who would I rather have it founded on?
Who better to have it founded on?
Who more worthy for it to be founded on than He who died for us and to whom all power and authority in heaven and on earth is given?
And they’re MAD because we don’t agree with them that it’s Peter?
Jesus who?
You mean the guy that’s just an afterthought in some religious systems?
I will not say what I really think. They seem more like a cult than a Christian group. They seem to be basing their whole belief system on man instead of Jesus Christ. I am so thankful I am not as blind as some of them are. I read one statement which said they did not believe in being born again which the Bible clearly states. Just how do they think people will get to heaven? It sure isn’t being catholic. Keep telling the truth. God bless.

It truly is baffling. Just the title “vicar of Christ” would cause me to back away. Vicar from the Latin vicarius which means “instead of” or “in place of”. Christ said when He left He would send someone but it wasn’t a pope. It was the Holy Spirit who would indwell every true believer. The only scripture reference to a person “instead of” or “in place of” is the anti-Christ. And no, I’m not saying the pope is the anti Christ. I’m saying I would back off from anyone who claimed that title because scripture says there will be many anti Christs.
....” because we insist that JESUS is who the church is founded on instead of Peter”....
I can’t see that catholics could do more than follow what catholicism teaches them regarding Peter, and get their pants in a knot when when the truth is presented that Jesus is the Rock not Peter.... Their Priesthood depends on them believing the lie, which must be in order to continue to secure the Priesthood, for which without their faith and catholicism would fall.
They left the Centrality of Jesus Christ ages ago....though they strive to attach his name onto everything.....simply as an add-on....and afterthought.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Save from wrath and make me pure.
Not the labor of my hands Can fulfill Thy law’s demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone.
Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die.
While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyes shall close in death, When I rise to worlds unknown, And behold Thee on Thy throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.
Rock of Ages Augustus M. Toplady, 1776
