I just got back from Mass.
Why is it that half of the posting protestants don’t answer the question?
Because as it has been answered by them Scriture doesn’t require it.
That would be your personal protestant interpretation of Scripture, of course divinely inspired, just because your protestant.

Because that's the half that leans towards Proverbs 26:4.
**I just got back from Mass.**
If eating the ‘mass’ gives eternal life, why does it need repeating. Does a dose of eternal life wear off?
PETER doesn’t seem to have been very forceful about it in Acts, or taught on it in his epistles. I’ll tell you what he DID make very clear:
-He commanded repentance, baptism in the name of JESUS for the remission of sins, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.
-He saw to it that the three main groups of people, Jews (Acts 2), Samaritians (Acts 8), and Gentiles (Acts 10) were converted in that fashion. He saw to it the ‘keys’ were used in their conversion.
-He understood the Godhead perfectly, for he was taught by the Master. He understood that the ‘name’ in Matthew 28:19 is Jesus.
-He never used the phrase ‘God the Son’, only ‘Son of God’, just like the Master.
