Peter is the “Rock” of Matt. 16:18 – just as Abraham is the “Rock” of Isaiah 51:1-2. God/Christ is the “Rock” of all of the other verses you mentioned. By the way - 1 Pet. 2:5 calls ALL of us "Rocks". Verse 4 uses the SAME Greek word, "Lithos" for the "Rock" that is Christ. It’s not that...

WRONG. You don't get saved without Baptism . . . 1 Pet. 3:21-22 his prefigured baptism, which saves you now. It is not a removal of dirt from the body but an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God...

Soooo, you're saying that you DON'T have to repent?? That's NOT what Scripture says . . . Acts 2:38 Peter [said] to them, “REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit. We don't just get...

Ummmmm, I never mentioned Peter. However, as long as YOU mentioned him - here is what he said about Baptism: 1 Pet. 3:21-22 his prefigured baptism, which saves you now. It is not a removal of dirt from the body but an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus...

Not at ALL. I was very clear about that. THIS is what I said - so pay attention: "We are saved by God's GRACE by the blood of Christ shed on Calvary - but we are saved THROUGH His Church (Matt. 16:18-19. Matt. 18:15-18, Luke 10:16, John 15:12-15, John 20:21-23)."

Where do the Scriptures tell us that salvation is found ONLY in the Scriptures? We are saved by God's GRACE by the blood of Christ shed on Calvary - but ewe are saved THROUGH His Church (Matt. 16:18-19. Matt. 18:15-18, Luke 10:16, John 15:12-15, John 20:21-23)..

That's NOT what Jesus said . . . John 20:21-23 (Jesus) said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." He said "Peace be with you" because they weren't at peace. they were AFRAID. Verse 19 tells us that much. And when he had said this, he breathed on them and...

Apparently, you don't understand what "Faith" is. What is "Faith"??

Not of your FUTURE sins. when we come to Christ and are Baptized - our PAST sins are forgiven (Acts 2:38). We still need to repent of ANY sins we commit in the future.

TRANSLATION: "I'm not equipped to discuss this topic." That's what I thought . . .

This is coming from a person who doesn't understand Purgatory. Purgatory - or Final Purification isn't a place of damnation. It is where we are purified before entering Heaven. Rev. 21:27 says that NOTHING impure can enter Heaven. Those of us who still have an attachment to our own will need...

And this has NOTHING to do with what we are talking about. YOU don't have the power to forgive or retain sins.

And once again, faith is NOT simply "Believing". As I pointed out - we are told in James 2:19 that even the DEMONS believe in the truths about God. Are THEY saved?? Are THEY justified?? NO. Faith is Belief + Obedience (Works). In 1 Cor. 13:2, Paul says that even if you have faith that can...

Ummmm, first of all - Mary is NOT worshiped in the Catholic Church this is strictly forbidden. Worship of anybody or anything other than God is IDOLATRY - so enough with your false claims. As for Mary being sinless - we read this in Luke 1:28. The Greek word is Kecharitomene that Luke used in...

Either you're being purposely obtuse or you really don't understand Scripture. I sincerely HOPE it's the former and not the latter . . . What do YOU think Jesus was doing in the Upper Room in John 20:21-23?? Let's break it down . . . Verse 21: (Jesus) said to them again, "Peace be with you...

If you're not equipped to discuss this - simply admit it and move on. I have stated my case and have supported it with further Scripture (Matt. 16:18-19, Matt. 18:15-18, Luke 10:16, John 20:21-23). For whatever reason, you keep dodging the issue. As for Paul NOT being a leader in the Early...

No - anybody who goes to Heaven is a saint. Why do you ask??

1) The "us" are the leaders of the Church, the Bishops, presbyters, etc. This can be corroborated by Early Church documents like 1st century Bishop, Ignatius of Antioch's Letter to the Smyrnaeans: Ignatius of Antioch Follow your bishop, every one of you, as obediently as Jesus Christ followed...

Acts 16:30-31 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” And here is the BIBLICAL definition of what it means to "believe" in Christ: - Being baptized (Matt. 28:19-20, John...

The Catholic Church doesn't teach that intercession and Purgatory justify us. Besides - ALL Christians practice intercession which is commanded of us in the Bible (James 5:16). Do your homework . . .
