They made it up...Unlike our scriptures, they have no source...And they just repeat it from one generation to the next...And then they tell each other their Church is infallible...Again, with no source...
They are no more legitimate than the Mormons...At least they have some gold plates to prove their source...
And then they tell us Peter was their first pope...Again, with no source...Peter would have scoffed at them and spit at them if someone would have accused him of being A Catholic pope to his face...He wouldn't be caught dead wearing a robe...And he wasn't going around boinking little boys...
And he claims to have a phd!
Does the RCC believe it is Israel? It’s the only thing I can figure out, they must believe they are the Kingdom Jews of the dispensation of the Law, Not the Body of Christ of this dispensation of Grace. Which is probably why Paul seems to get so little time or respect. ESPECIALLY since he is the Apostle to the GENTILES.
Any religeon that gets their “word” or “truth” from a man, is in err.
Seeing comments on this thread, ....strange... their beliefs, which are added to, subtracted from, changed, ..from what the bible says. How do they rationalize.... the bible says not to add to nor subtract from the Word of God.
I shall refrain from saying what I think...
