LOL oh my how absurd...still turning Christians into Catholics are ya, like was started a few hundred years after Jesus walked the earth, but not as bad as the following: In your post above 829 you said: Actually Jesus was the first Catholic I hope you find out how blasphemous that is before you go to purgatory. What a horrible thing to do, put God in a denomination! LOL. Funny to me but for you? Don't wanna know.

I didn't turn the Christians into Catholics, they did and before the end of the 1st century.

I pointed out that Jesus was the first Catholic, I didn't make Him a Catholic...He did by choosing the first Pope.....and Catholicism is not a denomination....it is Christianity at its purest and the word denomination is used to set aside, in over 20,000 groups, those Christians who are not Cathoic.

This thread PROVES that God has a sense of humor....fortunately

I pointed out that Jesus was the first Catholic, I didn't make Him a Catholic

Sure you did. Nothing in the Bible to back up your foolish statement that Jesus was a Catholic.

He did by choosing the first Pope

No, your first "pope" was deemed as Peter about 300 years later. Rewriting history.

and Catholicism is not a denomination....it is Christianity at its purest and the word denomination is used to set aside, in over 20,000 groups, those Christians who are not Cathoic .

You left off 12,000. Don't remember how many you made in the past?

And I think you are the only Cathoic.

He did by choosing the first Pope

Oh?

Matthew 16:13-18
13. When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?"
14. They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
15. "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"
16. Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
17. Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.
18. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

19. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

Chapters and verses were invented later; as we all know...

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

Reading the text we can see that Jesus is talking to the GROUP of disciples; and He is answered by the impulsive one - SIMON Peter.

After dealing with SIMON Peter, He states - to the group - "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

Catholic teaching limits this to SIMON Peter.
