The Transfiguration
"He {Jesus} took along
Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray."
Mat_17:5 "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!"
Mar_9:7 "This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!"
Luk_9:35 "
This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!"
That is a clear message from God to those three apostles but what did you
@Cathode say "nowhere is any other Apostle guided directly by The Eternal Father."
The one clutching at straws would be you
@Cathode. You make a statement and when you are shown your error you deny what the bible clearly says.
Do you not think the words "
listen to Him!" are direct guidance? If not what are they, a suggestion?
Your RCC house of cards is falling and you cannot even see it. Or rather you refuse to see it.
Desperate mate.
The three Apostles were witnesses to the Transfiguration and the Father speaking, like the time people heard the Father speak at the baptism in the Jordan.
But this is very different from the direct guidance Peter received from The Father.
You seem to have overlooked Paul in your pronouncement. Or are you going to tell me that Paul did not write Romans and 1 Timothy & 2 Timothy
Rom_11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,
1Ti_2:7 for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle; I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying; a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
2Ti_1:11 to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
It seems every time you make a comment the bible proves you wrong. You need to stop trusting the RCC and actually trust what the Holy Spirit said.
It was Peter that first brought the Gentiles into the Church, before that Paul had nothing to do with the Gentiles.
It was entirely on Peters infallibly guided vision from Heaven that the Gentiles were included in the Church.
Until then no believer could even enter a Gentiles house, let alone eat with them.
“The apostles and the believers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized him 3 and said, “You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them.”
4 Starting from the beginning, Peter told them the whole story: 5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to where I was. 6 I looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles and birds. 7 Then I heard a voice telling me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
8 “I replied, ‘Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’
9 “The voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’ 10 This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.
11 “Right then three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying. 12 The Spirit told me to have no hesitation about going with them.These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s house. 13 He told us how he had seen an angel appear in his house and say, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. 14 He will bring you a message through which you and all your household will be saved.’
15 “As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning. 16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with[
a] water, but you will be baptized with[
b] the Holy Spirit.’ 17 So if God gave them the same gift he gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?”
18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”
