@Augustin56 - What is the Church built upon???
1 Timothy 3:14-16
These things I write to you, though I hope to come to you shortly; but if I am delayed,
I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in
the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.
if peter really were and was the first pope
then how come paul even wrote what so ever they were it makes no difference to me
GOD accepts no mans person . WHO DO YOU THINK and WHY do you THINK he wrote that concering .
And if peter were the ruler over the apostels
THEN WHY did JESUS rebuke them when they desired to know who would be greatest .
And why on earth did we never see in one letter peter ever addressed as the pope or etc .
And this is huge . HOW COME the popes i studied throughout all of history in a book
written in support of THE CATHOLIC CHURCH and its popes
DID them popes sit on a chair , with a ring
with titles like most holy father , most holy reverand
YET even when cornelioius tried to kneel before peter , HE REBUKED HIM and said GET UP i am but a man .
And why all this ado about broad clothes and flattering titles such as most holy father , most holy reverand
and men kneeling before them to kiss a ring .
WHEN JESUS SAID beware of those who deck themselves up in broad clothing and love flattering titles
and the praise and worship of men . DO YOU EVER GET THE FEELING
the RCC LIES . BIG TIME and really these leaders long ago
desired to be seen of men to LORD OVER the flocks , to adorn themselves as some thing great . CAUSE I SURE DO .
I DONT follow harlots and lies my friend . I EXPOSE THEM . and i suggest we all continue to do the same .
