Christ put His trust on Peter, and in His one Church. That’s enough and gave His assurances. We don’t need the born again shallow Bible Christian stuff. That’s for the Joel Osteens. We have the Holy Eucharist. Can’t ask for more. Those who don’t believe ar heretics. Go read up on John:
It's amazing you continue to post the same thing over and over when you've been shown over and over the catholic position regarding Peter being the rock is not supported by all the ECFs catholics cling to so dearly.
Why?
“Christ put His trust on Peter, and in His one Church. “
Christ put His trust in Himself as God.
He chose to use fallible humans in His gathering, just as God has always used fallible humans (and the occasional ass). He also removes His presence from gatherings that fail Him.
“We dont need the born again...” - unless you want to be saved and have eternal life.
“We have the Holy Eucharist.” - except you pretend it is Christ and worship it.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Y’all should believe in “that born again stuff.”. It is in the Bible. Don’t y’all read it? I am beginning to think none of you read it. Some of the things I have read on here by y’all is unbelievable. Start reading it more and stop being told by man what it says and what to believe. Men make mistakes.
Son; you've just dissed all of those Learned Catholics that were QUOTED in #275.
And Christ?
Well; I'll leave what you've done TO Him UP to Him.
Good idea!
Jesus answered, The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.
Oh, but you DO need to understand being born again, and John, Peter and Paul thought so too....
John 3:3 - Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
1 Peter 1:23 - Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
Romans 6:4 - Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
