    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    One cannot consider onesekf a Christian and NOT be baptized in Christ (Matt. 28:19, John 3:5, Mark 16:16, Eph. 4:5, Col. 2:11-12, 1 Pet. 3:21). Apostacy is the repudiation of this faith. You cannot become apostate if you are NOY a Christian - and you can't be a Christian without Baptism.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    This is typical of your hypocrisy. You judge the Church by the sins and errors of SOME of its leaders instead of the doctrines of the Church. Yes, relatively-speaking, it WAS only a ”few stupid Catholics”. Do you judge Jesus and the leaders HE chose by the worst one (Judas)?? I could just as...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    As I told Titus – it doesn’t matter if Matthew was written in Chinese. Jesus and His Apostles spoke Aramaic to one another. The “Trilingual” nation that @Titus keeps trying to push is also irrelevant. The largely uneducated masses that Jesus preached to weren’t multilingual. Many of the...

    continued . . . 3. "This rock" refers to Peter "Jesus, then, is promising Peter that he is going to build his church on him! I accept this view." --William Hendriksen, New Testament Commentary: Exposition of the Gospel According to Matthew, (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 1973), 647. "Nowadays a...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    And your LIES continue . . . Not only did they speak Aramaic - Peter is the "Rock" referred to in Matt, 16:18. YOUR delusion is that you actually believe that you know MORE than the following PROTESTANT scholars on the matter . . . 1. There is no distinction between "petros" and "petra." "In...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I have given you several examples of Jesus speaking in Aramaic - and YOU have completely FAILED to address them: These are some of the Aramaic words spoken by Jesus: "Talitha koum"- Mat 5:3 "Ephphatha" Mark 7:34 "Eli, Eli lama sabathani" verse Matt. 27:46 WHEN are you finally going to address...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    The Bible records Jesus speaking in Aramaic, as I have shown you THREE times now. You have YET to refute it . . . Didn’t YOU report ME for calling YOU that very word?? Consider yourself reported . . . I have never said ANY such thing. Your penchant for dishonesty is your downfall. Exod...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I was responding to the following remark from @Titus – “THR LORDS CHURCH HAD ALREADY BEEN IN EXISTENCE SOME 573 YEARS WHEN THIS OCCURRED.” I proved to him that the Lord’s Church was in fact, the Catholic Church. He also made the Historically-bankrupt claim that the first Pope came to be in 606...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Then WHY have you dodged my earlier question about Paul referring to Peter as “Cephas” in his letters?? Explain that one, Einstein . . . As I already explained to you – which you keep dodging – Jesus IS the Head of His Church. Peter was appointed as earthly leader (Matt. 16:19, John...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    And oit;s equally-specuative to assume that Matthew was origially written in Greek. I gave you the testimonies of 4 Early Church Fathers who differ with you. PS - for the record - I don't care which version came first because iir is irrelevant to this debate. Jesus SOKE to Peter in Aramaic.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Your original argument was the use of "Petros" vs. "Petra". I educated you about the fact that there is NO distinction in the Aramaic language that Jesus used in Matt. 16:18. Kepha means "Rock". It was recorded in Greek - but it was spokem in Aramaic.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Ummm, YOU said: "ALL ARAMAIC TRANSLATIONS WERE TRANSLATED FROM THE GREEK." Soooo, what did you mean by that? There is NO evidence that they did. ALL evidence points to Aramaic.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    That is a truly ignorant sdyayement Most historians don't even make that claim because ut us impossible to know. We don't even have a complete original text. Secondly - wheter the original manuscriptut of Matthew was written in Greek or Aramaic - or Chimese is completely irrelevant. MOST...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Okay, Einstein - explain why He used words like - "Talitha koum"- Mat 5:3 "Ephphatha" Mark 7:34 "Eli, Eli lama sabathani" verse Matt. 27:46 That ain't Greek . . .

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Show me where I mad this claim - or apologize for LYING. You keep raving on like a lunatric. I NEVER said the things YOU are claiming and I didn't present a strawman. I merely educated you about the fact that Jesus spoke ARAMAIC to His Apostles. "Kepha" is an Aramaic word - NOT Greek.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Show me where I made tgis statement - or apologize for LYING. Are you sure about that?? History tells us a DIFFERENT story . . . Early in the 2nd century, Papias, bishop of Hieropolis in Asia Minor, wrote: “Matthew compiled the sayings [of the Lord] in the Aramaic language, and everyone...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    A truly ignorant statement. It's clear you know NOTHING about Catholic teahing or you would never have made such a bankrupt claim. Sacred Tradition NEVER supercedes Scripture - not does the reverse ever occur because God's trith is ALWAYS true.. For starters – you FIRST need to refute the...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    After I schooled you about Jesus speaing Aramaic - YOU implied that he spoke a mix of both. From post #1326: "Guess what? The predominant language in Galilee in the 1st. Century was Koine Greek and Aramaic" Jesis called Peter "Kepha", which is Aramaic for "Rock".

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Huge LIE. An "idol" is somthing that ius worshipped. We don't worship Mary. We simply ask herfor intercession - the SAME way YOU woud ask your loved one for intercession. Don't add LIES to your lack pf faith . . .

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Time for another Linguistics Lesson . . . Jesus spoke ARAMAIC to His Apostles. We have examples straight from the Gospels of Jesus using Aramaic words to the Apostles and the crowds - “Talitha Koum “(Mark 5:41), “Ephphatha” (Mark 7:34), “Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani” (Matt. 27:46) and elsewhere...
