There was one mediator on the Cross, this is what is being referred to. Jesus established His mediatorship in His Apostles. “ He who listens to you, listens to me “ “ He who rejects you, rejects me “ “ Whose sins you forgive are forgiven “ “ Whose sins you retain are retained “ “ What you...

Korah and Luther’s rebellion was the same rebellion in different Covenants. The sacerdotal unity remained in Moses as the sacerdotal unity remained in Peter. Both sneered and decried the headship of Moses and Peter. We don’t need Moses lording it over us, God said we are all a holy people a...

In the early Church the Chair of Peter was seen as the Covenantal succession of the Chair of Moses. St. Macarius of Egypt (371) The Seat of Moses was a governing Office as the Seat of Peter was a governing Office. Just as matters were resolved with Moses has spoken, in the old covenant. In...

False. Look at what the heads of Constantinople said long before 1054. “If the Roman See recognizes Pyrrhus to be not only a reprobate but a heretic, it is certainly plain that everyone who anathematizes those who have rejected Pyrrhus also anathematizes the See of Rome, that is, he...

Korah was a priest as well, but he broke unity from Moses disputing God’s word against God’s chosen authority the same as Luther. The new covenant mimics the old. In fact many at the time remarked that this was the new rebellion of Korah played out in the new covenant church. The incredible...

Yes he is, he is Peter. Peter governs the Church in his successors. Jesus gave Peter charge of His sheep.

Someone telling you that you are wrong can be a very good thing, because you may very well be wrong. I pay closer attention to those who bother to tell me I’m wrong, I am grateful to them. The lazy and indifferent path to take, is to not bother to tell me I’m wrong. Imagine someone knowing...

We all accept that the Bible has Authority, but it cannot be the only Authority, because it is at the point of interpretation in truth that the Bible expresses its full Authority or it is nullified by wrongful interpretations. So it is the Authority of the Bible’s interpreter that unlocks the...

Protestant history began 500 years ago with a human founder, it has no history before that. Since then they have divided into every subjective human interpretation of scripture. Before that the was The Catholic Church which canonised the Bible in the first place. If Protestantism was correct...

Where does it record the saints in heaven not being able to pray for people anymore? There still is that injunction of Paul to always pray for the saints. You are trying to make any intercessory prayer on others behalf superfluous and only go to God directly, scripture doesn’t teach that...

Says who and by what authority? Your interpretation of scripture? No you haven’t. No Bible aloner as ever given me a coherent answer on this. Besides you haven’t addressed how John was able hear every creature in heaven on earth, under the earth, on the sea and in the sea in situ at the same...

The saints in heaven don’t need our prayers, but we certainly need theirs. The prayers of the righteous are powerful, those in heaven are the righteous made perfect, they are greatly concerned with us and their prayers to God for us are very powerful.

You bring the human founded earthly interpretations of scripture, Catholics have the supernatural apostolic interpretation of Scripture. I look at all the human founded Protestant denominations each with conflicting interpretations and doctrines from the same bible, and all of them are blind...

It’s biblical for the saints to pray for each other, whether on earth or in heaven, we are united by the same Holy Spirit in the Body of Christ. They are not alien to us. When one part of the Body of Christ is in need, another part of the body aids it. “so that there should be no division in...

The only assurance needed is the Apostolic judgment at Confession, Absolution. The power to forgive sin was given to the Apostles and their successors by Christ Himself. The Apostolic Judgement is God breathed. And no we are not preprogrammed automatons, God wanted beings with total freedom to...

Neither are the saints in Heaven. God is the God of the Living, not the dead. To be biblical for starters. Adding your own words, great.

Ecclesiastes is like Job as dialogue, but it is giving the temporal human “under the sun “ perspective from all being “vanity”. It’s not a doctrinal pronouncement people’s state after death. But also from the spiritual perspective, this is also before the Redemption when souls were in prison...

The spiritual life isn’t about the “ feels “, it’s not about curiosity and experiences to be sort out like many who indulge in eastern or occult practices. The spiritual life is exquisite in the joys but also the agonies, it is real living and awareness, more real than the temporal life. The...

The Bible explicitly prohibits necromancy or conjuring the dead to gain illicit knowledge, not prayer requests of the living saints of heaven who are at the Throne of Grace.

When you pray for others, are their needs not answered? Prayer works even when it’s not directly asked of God, but by others requests on our behalf. “always keep on praying for all the Saints” This biblical injunction doesn’t end in heaven.
