Except Peter is not the first pope. Peter is a stone (petros: masculine; a small, movable, shifting, rolling stone), but Christ built HIS church on the rock (petra: feminie; a massive, large, immovable stone), which is Christ and faith in the revelation that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God.

This is the primary deception of the corrupt Catholic Church; to assert the rock is the man rather than his confession. His confession is the confession of all Christians; that Jesus is the Messiah, Son of God, the Savior of the world and our Lord, which means we owe fidelity to him - not a man-made institution in Rome.

Your COMPLAINING ISSUE is Documented.
Your DODGING is noted...

What is NOT DOCUMENTED is:
So, a group of men gather...have a council, discuss, decide this decree, that decree, this dogma, that dogma....
SHALL BE declared and TAUGHT.

DO YOU, simply say, okie dokie, and do what they say?

OR DO YOU VERIFY WHAT they DECIDE and TEACH IS ACCORDING TO Gods Word?

TWO SIMPLE yes or no QUESTIONS...
CAN YOU answer...WHAT YOU DO, Honestly?

You won't get yes or no, but a dissertation on everything Roman catholic to (self) prove the Roman catholic church is everything Roman catholics say it is.

You can live in denial, but it's true: Leo X sold Indulgences to suit himself and his lifestyle and for construction costs of the Basilica. I don't have access to the the great Vat library of the Holy See, and their online digital format can't be trusted as containing EVERY document in their possession. Now, if the vatican was truly transparent, it would have done all it could to purge the Roman church of all pedophile and homosexual priests and brothers long ago. Today, it's still a snails pace for the Roman church to fully disclose and admit publicly the vast abhorrent sexually perverted behavior and centuries of cover-up to protect the guilty.

the Vatican is not he church founded by Christ!

stop blaming the church for these monstrous abuses and sins

The union of the holy church founded by Christ on Peter and the apostles is such that it cannot be harmed by the sins of men!

Automatic excommunication is incured upon the exercise of the intellect and will to teach error or Hersey or to commit grave sin!

So the bride is spotless and without blemish!

The members of Christ in communion with God and each other are in a state of sanctifying grace!

We deplore the sins and outrages of abuse, most of which is done by homo’s on young boys, in any group especially those calling themselves Christian, the communists began infiltration in the seminary’s in the 30’s and the modernist’s and homo’s in the 60’s and 70’s

This is a symptom of error and Hersey
Modernism or theological liberalism, of the modern apostasy and nowhere does the true church teach anyone to do these things, nor do the Protestant sects which have the same issues!

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Attaching an indulgence or means of grace to volunteering to make a donation to build a church is no more sinful than buying a dozen dognuts and getting one free

all the rest are just accusations
Salvation by the shilling etc.
indulgences have nothing to do with mercy or salvation

I'm not blaming the church, or rather: the true body of ekklesia, of which some in the Roman catholic church are a part. How many? Few, I'm sure.

The purchase of indulgences had everything to do with the pope's promise of absolution: the more you paid, the more absolution, not only for the living, but for the dead awaiting judgment in the unbiblical place called purgatory. And if you paid handsomely toward Leo's works project, no need to repent and be born again, you were a shoo in to God's heavenly kingdom.

And you are just another lock-step Roman catholic whose fealty is to pope first, Roman church second, Mary third, and I'm not even sure where you put Christ.
Three more falsehoods to add to your initial idiotic lie.

By my count - that's FOUR instances of bearing FALSE witness (Exod. 20:16) - and ALL because you couldn't substantiate your first lie about the "selling" of Indulgences that I exposed . . .

I can't help that you Roman catholics don't believe the truth about Leo X selling indulgences to finance his decadent lifestyle and the construction of the Basilica. It's like trying to convince a jw that the scriptures support the Trinity: you can show it to them and they'll still follow the watchtower lie. Both rcc and jw are corrupt, but they're not alone.

More idiocy based on your complete ignorance of Scripture and languages.
Time for a Bible and linguistics Lesson . . .

In Matt. 16:18, Jesus tells Simon:
"And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

HOWEVER, Jesus and the Apostles spoke Aramaic - NOT English and NOT Greek.
Jesus DIDN'T use the English word, "Peter" nor did He use the Greek word, "Petros". He used the Aramaic word, "Kepha".
This is why Paul refers to him NOT as Peter - but as "Cephas" in his letters, which is a Greek transliteration of the Aramaic word, "Kepha".

Kepha is defined "ROCK". Not "small, moveable stone" - just "ROCK".
What Jesus told him was:
"And I tell you, you are Kepha, and on this Kepha I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

"Petros" is used in the Greek because "Petra" would NEVER be used to describe a man, being a feminine noun.

So, the lesson here is:
Do your HOMEWORK and you won't sound so ridiculous . . .

And the fact that YOU can't prove it is comical.

Smarter anti-Catholics than YOU have conceded that there is NO proof for this . . .

What makes you so certain that Jesus and His disciples did not speak Greek or Latin, for that matter? Judeans were several generations under helenistic rule where learning all things Greek was a requirement. All of the NT manuscripts and fragments, save one, is written in Greek. I am sure they all knew Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, and probably Latin as well. You can presume to know all, but you actually know little.

And as I stated before - a disjointed gaggle of people is NOT the Biblical definition of what Christ's Church is.

So, tell me - WHICH one of the tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering factio0ns of Protestantism that ALL teach different doctrines is the "True Church"?
They can't ALL be - especially when they differ in as many essential doctrines.

I'll wait right here for your answer . . .
Here is my answer . May it sink deep into your mind and your heart . I NEVER said THEY WERE THE CHURCH .
I said LAMBS WHO LOVE JESUS . That means hearers and doers , that means those who actually LOVE JESUS , HIS WORDS
and the apostels doctrine . THEY HEAR and they DO and for them its all joy TO DO SO .
THAT IS THE CHURCH . GUESS what , ITS A VERY SMALL REMNANT INDEED . Simpliest walk ever . JUST LOVE JESUS LOVE HIS EVERY WORD , LOVE TRUTH and from that we can see how to love the other . This is something the CC knoweth not .
OH it has some truths , But so do many other false churches . SOME TRUTHS , SOME LIES . Mens religoin .
But pure religoin COMES FROM JESUS . And lambs love TRUTH , not falsehoods .

There is no lone ranger here . There are like minded lambs who love the LORD and wont accept false doctrine .
They suckle the pure truth from the Word and words of GOD . The SPIRIT is with them and they gather in little groups .
Ps , not under the CC either . I shall pray for you my friend as i do for thee faith . Its getting late , its high time
folks learn the one true biblical JESUS and stop falling for men and institutions that are leading folks to the place of the twice dead .
We are running out of time. This is the last hour.
Let’s keep with the KJV bibles.

The ekklesia meet in houses, we meet in halls, in fields and in jungles, we meet in buildings of all kinds and dimensions in locations all over the globe, and we meet in wonderfully constructed undertakings, the likes of which took decades to construct costing many men their lives and some a small fortune. We may call ourselves protestant, reformed, messianic, orthodox, baptist, catholic, nondenominational, but we are all those who are truly born again, whose hearts and minds and souls belong exclusively to Jesus Christ, and whom Jesus Christ has called to Himself to be His disciples, all of whom know that we have passed from death to live already and fear nothing in this world can separate us from our eternal security in heaven with our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus. Are you one among us?
