How many times must Jesus be sacrificed upon the catholic altar of Nicolaitanism for someone to have Jesus as God, the Holy Spirit, with them unto the end of the Age? Why is the catholic Jesus not sufficient sacrifice for Justification ONCE FOR ALL FOREVER? Why does Catholicism blaspheme Jesus by insisting their adherents drink His Blood, instead of That most precious Blood being spread upon the Mercy Seat to take away the law of sin and death so God’s Holy Spirit can indwell the Justified ON EARTH?
No way, says this former Catholic.
Jesus IS God, God with us. The faith profession is the foundation stone connecting us to The Rock of Heaven, Jesus . When Jesus spoke to Peter Jesus was standing there before Peter. We know Jesus was not calling Peter the rock because He knew Peter would not only open his mouth in a few seconds and utter a satanically inspire rebuke to Jesus but also deny Jesus three times before morning arrived on Friday! So Jesus had to be referring to the profession Peter made which connects Peter to THE Rock. Paul also confirms this profession as the faith connector to THE ROCK in Heaven when Paul writes of the stone the builders rejected. The stone is faith, the very thing that had departed from Israel and made it possible for them to not even see God with them. Faith in The Christ is the rock to which Jesus referred because that rock is laid upon a foundation which yields Gold, silver, and precious stones to be revealed at the mikvah cleansing/Bema Seat in Heaven. That rock allows God to be with us, indwelling, even unto the end of the Age.
>>>>>>>>>Is there one true Church or did Jesus establish 30,000 different religions? Can everyone start their own church and believe their own personal opinion?<<<<<<<<<
See ADSUM Rome has to lie to justify itself..

Yep. If one has eyes to see and/or ears to hear.
Catholicism also changes the textual meaning of Bible verses to fit the political environment. The word ‘apostasia’ found in 2Thess2:3 was translated as THE (definite article in Greek) Departure for the first several Bibles. But when the Catholic Bible, the Rheims Bible was issued the word was changed to mean ‘a’ 9indefinite article) revolt. The Protestant reformation smoldering under their Vatican thrones must have caused them some discomfort to do such a shocking change in word and meaning.
**Was The Papacy Established By Christ?**
Yes, read the section where Jesus pronounces Peter and gives him the keys to the kingdom.
Yes, He pronounced Peter little pebble and referred to Himself as The Rock and gave ALL of the Apostles the Keys.
Jesus certainly gave Peter the keys. We have proof of that at Pentecost and in the House of Cornelius, revealed to us by Scritpura. But since you don’t know what the Church of Jesus Christ is, how can we explain to you that the profession of faith Peter made is the Rock upon which Jesus has built His Church? I mean if you don’t even know the background truths, that Jesus is the foundation upon which the stones are laid, how can we open your eyes? We’ve even shown you Paul explaining this foundation about which no better foundation can be laid, but apparently you refuse to read it.
That was a question?
Perhaps yours was the lie?
Considering the Argentine Bolshevic Pope that the Papists have foisted upon the world, on this anti-communist site I’m surprised there is even two of them.
” Can everyone start their own church and believe their own personal opinion?”
Matthew 18:20 “For where two or more are gathered in My name, I am there in the midst of them”. I’ll take that as a YES as long as they go by the teachings in the Bible.
Does that make it a church? Can everyone have their own religious theology or interpretation?
I've heard of Peter and Paul and James....but not St. Peter.
He a new guy?
btw....are you saying God is ignorant of the Bible.....because you address Him directly in your opening sentence.
Are you familiar with Acts chapter 15?
End of story.
End of truth beginning of nicolaitanizing those seeking God. Rome is very adept at that don’tchaknow.
Wow, that's a word I've never heard before and had to go look that up to put it in context. Yes, I've read Revelations, unfortunately I don't remember that word at all.
First the Definition: Nicolaism (also Nicholaism, Nicolationism, or Nicolaitanism) is a Christian heresy, first mentioned (twice) in the Book of Revelation of the New Testament, whose adherents were called Nicolaitans, Nicolaitanes, or Nicolaites.
Now the Context:
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. Revelation 2:6
Have you ever wondered who the "Nicolaitans" were, mentioned in the book of Revelation? Whoever they were, Jesus loathed their doctrine and hated their deeds. Let's delve into this subject today to see if we can ascertain the identity of this group. What was their damnable doctrine? What deeds were they committing that elicited such a strong reaction from Jesus?
Let's begin in Revelation 2:6, where Jesus told the church of Ephesus, "But this thou hast [in your favor], that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate."
Jesus was proud of the church of Ephesus for their "hatred" of the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which He also "hated."
The word "hate" is a strong word, so let's see exactly what it means. It comes from the Greek word miseo, which means to hate, to abhor, or to find utterly repulsive. It describes a person who has a deep-seated animosity, who is antagonistic to something he finds to be completely objectionable. He not only loathes that object, but rejects it entirely. This is not just a case of dislike; it is a case of actual hatred.
Thanks for the lesson! :-)
Yes.
And how many religions did Christ establish?
IIRC, the Nicolaitans were establishing a man-made institution which would direct believers in Jesus to follow strict behaviors and rely solely upon the ‘authoritarian’ dictates of the leadership, collecting monies like a ax system and dictating behaviors as if works were absolutely necessary to add to the Cross for ‘real salvation’. These ‘leaders’ went so far as to dictate who they would say were saved and who were not ... and with enough money in their pockets you could get their stamp of approved salvation.
