To the Catholics visiting the Baptist forum.

Don't be ridiculous. No present in the Holy Eucharist, the teaching that was passed down from the beginning. We have it and you don't. Sad for you, a joy to us!

 

A false gospel if there ever was one. Brought to you by mere men some 1600 years down the line.

 

The Bishop's known as the Early Church Fathers disagree with you, so I will go with them on this one.

 

Please answer my questions. You made assertions. Please support them.

 

You need to rewrite your statement as follows:

"If it ain't in Scripture, it ain't so...except for this statement."

 

Eusebius said Linus was the first bishop of Rome. Ordained by Peter and Paul.

 

"We follow NO man-made traditions or doctrines of faith/worship EXCEPT for our tradition / doctrine that we rely SOLEY ON THE BIBLE for ALL our intel about God & Scripture is the final authority in all our matters of faith/worship."

 

Actually I have. I even told you what it actually says. Not what Luther's detractors try to make it say.

I have read it, and the work is not anti-semitic. Pieces of the work taken out of context can look anti-semitic, but not if you read the entirety of the works and, also, his previous works. I have also read Vom Schem Hamphoras and it is just an extension of the Lies piece. It is not anti-semitic. It is against the religion of the Jews, not the race of the Jews. Big difference.

 

That definition is Jews as a race, not Jews as religion.

 

You are repeating a flat out lie.

 

It's actually likely Peter never even made it to Rome.

 

None of which shows your assertion that he did not want people to come to Christ.

And I guess we shouldn't read any of Paul's letters then considering the things he did.

 

And the only way Linus could be ordained was by - another Bishop. Sounds to me like Peter and Paul could also be considered Bishop's.

 

Sure you've read them...wink, wink.
