Really? Show me where the Bible makes this claim Chapter and Verse, please . . . I'll make it easy for you: Show me ANY Early Churh writing that makes this claim. Happy hunting . . .

Now there's an intelligent and well-researched response. Can anybody say "denial"?? Good grief . . .

And, as I stated before – your refusal to open your eyes to the clear type and fulfillment of Scripture is based on the fact that your Protestant Pastor won’t let you. It’s HIS way or the highway until you leave and transfer to the next denomination . . .

Can you tell me when this doctrine was invented? Because NONE of your Protestant Fathers held to this fallacy. They ALL taught that Mary was the Mother of GOD: Martin Luther: "She is rightly called not only the mother of the man, but also the Mother of God ... It is certain that Mary is the...

WRONG again. First of all – I already cleared up the point about the Davidic Kingdom being modeled after the Heavenly Kingdom. Go back and R*E*A*D . . . Secondly – Mary’s role is NOT pulled out of thin air. It is as plain as the nose ono your face. Unfortunately, you refuse to see type and...

No – I addressed those verses by educating you about the word “Adelphos”. ONE more time: Adelphos (brother) is used in place of brother of same parents, half-brother (same father), relative, kinship, same tribe,neighbor, fellow believer, a fellow countryman, etc. As a matter of fact, iin the...

Time for another Bible lesson . . . The Kingdom of Heaven is modeled after the Davidic Kingdom (or, vice versa). We can see this from the references to Isaiah 22:20-22 when Jesus appointed Peter as the bearer of the “keys to the kingdom” (Matt. 16:18-19). In the Davidic Kingdom, the wife of...

Time for a Bible and linguistics lesson . . . First of all – as @JoeT already stated – “Adelphos” is used in the NT brother of same parents, half-brother (same father), relative, kinship, same tribe, neighbor, fellow believer, fellow countryman, etc. The “other Mary” at the foot of the cross...

And yet - the very Scriptures YOU purport to be our SOLE Authority never teach this fallacy. 2 Thess 2:15 "Stand firm and hold fast to the Traditions you were taught, EITHER BY an oral statement OR BY a letter from us."

And you have YET to show where Scripture teaches this. We have shown repeatedly where Scripture gives FINAL Authority to Christ's Church . . . Matt 16:16-19 And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against...

Hi Dave - If you don't want to talk anymore - that's fine. However, I will respond one more time to what you said. First of all - your idea that Catholics believe the Church to be a "man made" institution is dead wrong. It was built by Christ (Matt. 16:18-19). Secondly - whether you want to...

Christ built ONE Church (Matt. 16:18-19, John 17:20-23). MEN splintered that Church to the tune of tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering “denominations” of that ONE Church – which ALL teach different doctrines yet ALL claim they were “led” by the Holy Spirit. Christ’s...

I've been asked this same question many times - and my answer is always the same: The Church does not and cannot teach doctrines that are contrary to Scripture. Jesus guaranteed this at the Last Supper, when He told the leaders of His Church that the Holy Spirit would guide His Church to ALL...

I have "NO" support for the fact that there are an astronomical numbers of Protestant denominations and Lone Ranger sects?? Look in the phone book if you need evidence. As for "doctrinal" differences - giving communion is a matter of DISCIPLINE - not doctrine. Finally - as for the "tens of...

Jesus told the leaders of His Church that WHATEVER they loosed or held bound on earth would be loosed or held bound in Heaven (Matt. 16:19, Matt. 18:15-18, John 20:21-23). They passed that mantle of Authority down to other Bishops in an UNBROKEN line of succession.

Wanna bet?? Matt 23:2 - Jesus relied on the ORAL TRADITION of acknowledging Moses' seat of authority (which passed from Moses to Joshua to the Sanhedrin). This is not recorded in the Old Testament. 1 Cor. 10:4 - Paul relies on the ORAL TRADITION of the rock following Moses. It is not...

I'm sure there have been plenty of people who have debated this issue. How does that make it "not" true?? There have been millions of people who have debated the existence of Christ. Doe this validate their position??

Can you show me where Paul makes this statement? Chapter and Verse, please . . .

Not at ALL. It is because of this false doctrine that tens of thousands of different sects arose. They firmly believed that THEIR interpretation of this "Sole Authority" is what led them to their conclusions. If they had believed instead what Scripture actually teaches - that Christ's CHURCH...

Okay = so, what IS the problem?
