If you're replying to earlier posts it's a good idea to include them in your reply. I, for one, can't figure out who or what you're referring to.

Yes, SPIRITUAL food, not physical food.
But let's not go there.
I'm just being honest but I can't stand some of your Catholic beliefs.
I'm thankful to God that brave men at risk of their lives broke away from the corruption of the Catholic church.
I am willing to answer any question you may have and on
The basis of the Bible alone for you’re benefit, and I believe in scripture, and what it teaches!
please start with my question about the doctrine of the “Bible alone”?

For me: It’s just seems like the practices in the Catholic Church are so obviously fake (not to mention naturally repulsive). I knew long before I was born again, when I was a kid that praying to Mary was wrong and we should only pray to God. It’s common sense, but then… folks can get sucked into things whereby they cannot see the forest from the trees.
And we still have God breathed men of God with Christ the same mission ministry power and authority as Christ! Jn 20:21-23
Called apostles
Apostolic succession

Post #983 and my following three subsequent posts present the Biblical case for “Bible Alone + the Anointing to Understand It.”
he’s referring to baptism by immersion only!
Valid Christian baptism requires the flowing water over the forehead three times.
I baptize you in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit!
A sacrament is an outward sign
Which is a gift from God to help our little minds see what he does inwardly and invisibly by his grace!
As grace Washes our souls in the merits of Jesus blood from original and personal sin, so the outward action of washing is visible!
without the outward action the inward action cannot take place!
Jn 3:5 Titus 3:5 water and washing
acts 22:16 wash away your sin!

First, there are no more apostles.
The Apostles and Prophets were merely the foundation built upon the foundation of Jesus. “For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone;” (Ephesians 2:18-20). We are said to have access by one Spirit unto the Father that is build upon the “foundation” of the apostles and prophets. Being an apostle is a gift (See 1 Corinthians 12:28-31). The qualifications of being an apostle was to have seen the risen Lord Jesus Christ (See Acts of the Apostles 1:22-26). Paul said he met the qualifications as being an apostle because he had seen the risen Lord. 1 Corinthians 9:1 “…Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?” Paul called himself the “last prophet.” (1 Corinthians 15:8-9). Paul says that God has set forth the apostles last (1 Corinthians 14:9).
Secondly, as for the false Catholic understanding on John 20:23 (with their erroneously thinking it is talking about how the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) can confess sins to a priest):
Well, let’s read the verse.
"Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained" (John 20:23).
Okay, if anyone were to actually carefully read this verse or chapter, they will notice that it does not really explain any kind of RCC instructions of the kind of confessing sins to a priest. So such RCC instructions simply do not exist in this chapter or anywhere else in the New Testament.
During the time of the early church: The apostle Peter simply had the authority to say according to God's Word if they are saved or not when they repented and believed the gospel. We see this take place at Pentecost, and we see the writer of Acts describe how these recipients of the gospel were saved.
“Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” (Acts of the Apostles 2:38).
“Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.”
(Acts of the Apostles 2:41).

No offense, but I would encourage you to please read your Bible more, my friend. You will not find any of the RCC practices clearly spelled out in the New Testament. The Christ of the Catholic Church is another Jesus not found in the Holy Bible.

No, the Catholic organization passing itself off as a church is.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 And when they were come up out of the water,...
You see, we must go down into the water then come up out of the water...
No drip-drip on the noggin'.
The book of Mormon, Doctrines and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price(Mormon extra biblical literature) are creeds also.

What does the WORD say about this........HE has FULL Knowledge of this FIRST HAND
No.
There’s a foundational difference between something that is viewed as being scripture, versus Creeds which are not seen a scripture or even infallible (different people view the creeds differently).
