The promise of Christ keeps the true church from falling into error. “He who hears you hears me”
That was spoken to the 72 Jesus sent out into the Jewish towns.
He was speaking to the Jews, not to the church.
And as we've been told by another Catholic FReeper, what Jesus said to the Jews doesn't apply to the church.
So every priest and bishop, and pope is speaking the words of Jesus? If they are not in error, then why the differences between the Roman church and the EO?
You do realize that the EO claim that THEY are the original church and that the Roman rite is the one in schism.
So who's right and who is in error? Since they both make contradictory claims, they both can't be right. Which one is right then and why?
Luk 10:16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
Jesus was speaking to the 70 disciples he sent out to proclaim his kingdom was near...
Those 70 Jewish disciples were NOT the Catholic church...They were forbidden to go to any Romans with their message...They were building a church void of anyone from or in Rome...You know that, right??? If you don't know that you are of the religion that heareth NOT Jesus...
