In closing, let me tell you of something extra ordinary!! So how did we get from the Jewish Jesus of Galilee to the Roman Catholic Church that we know today? Meanwhile, God’s army of believers, who have been deceived into seeking the ways of man via religious traditions instead of the ways of God are just zzzzz zzzzz zzzzzz zzzzz zzzzzzz zzzzzz zzzzz zzzzzz.

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; He (paraphrased) came to all of His disciples and asked who other people say that He is, and then He asked whom they (the disciples) say that He is. The only life I ever had? For these nations, which you are about to dispossess, give heed to soothsayers and to diviners; but as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you so to do. The Scriptures have a lot to say about who the rock is. Jesus spoke Aramaic, saying, “I say to you, you are Kephas, and on this Kephas, I will build my Church.” He also said, “Whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on Earth shall be loosed in Heaven.” The falsehood of Protestantism is exposed by the fact that Protestant ministers do not dare to forgive sins in Christ’s Name, but Catholic priests do, in accordance with John 20:23. Rose me from the dead. Also Jesus never called Mary mother. “Who do you say I am?”, 16Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”. It is a distraction to the people of God and keeps them from addressing things that are way more important than your preferred doctrine of men. Prepare the army of darkness to go out and to destroy everything that God claims is His. Forgiveness of sins and eternal life is a gift that was purchased by Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary, and He offers you that gift today. His role is to teach, govern, and sanctify the faithful in his care.

I want more sports on Sundays. Church history reveals the moral depths to which these so-called vicars of Christ have fallen. St Peter is given an unique authority, by himself, whatever “YOU” (singular to Peter) bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever “YOU” (singular to Peter) loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. I saw the Arch Angels, each at the head of, their legions of heavenly warriors. In sum, Revelation 12 portrays Mary as the new queen mother in the Kingdom of God, sharing in her son’s rule over the universe. The New Testament is filled with examples of and references to spiritual father-son and father-child relationships. 3) In Acts 15, when everyone was arguing St Peter arose, declared the truth of the matter and then everyone shut up.

It is he who gave these men their role as spiritual fathers, and it is his Holy Spirit who recorded this role for us in the pages of Scripture.

For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. In the Baptist Church, they had a picture of some rendition of Christ.

Amen.” This church that St Paul is describing tells us that this Church will include Ephesians 4 11 “It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers“, but hang on some Protestants might say, this list doesn’t include bishop, isn’t the Pope the Bishop of Rome and doesn’t the Roman Catholic Church have Bishops? From this viewpoint, any attempt to use the Bible to show the errors of Catholic tradition is a misuse of the Bible – because it is only really the official living teaching organ of the Church which correctly interprets the true meaning of the Bible. The surest way to open yourself up for such a revelation is to read the Bible for yourself with an open heart and mind. Church history is a very sad story actually in many places.

The question—phrased like that—did not actually occur to me until somewhat recently. Those are the two main arguments and on the surface can look persuading.

The concept of God’s role as Father would be meaningless if we obliterated the concept of earthly fatherhood. Peter followed the same custom, referring to Mark as his son: “She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings; and so does my son Mark” (1 Pet. As the apostolic example shows, some individuals genuinely do have a spiritual fatherhood, meaning that they can be referred to as spiritual fathers.

Scripture says the visible unity within the Church is “Acts 4:32 32All the believers were one in heart and mind. It is this elevation of an individual man—the formation of a “cult of personality” around him—of which Jesus is speaking when he warns against attributing to someone an undue role as master, father, or teacher. Should We Approach Jesus through Mother Mary? The apostles sometimes referred to entire churches under their care as their children. Incidentally, the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven were not given exclusively to Peter. Christ used hyperbole often, for example when he declared, “If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell” (Matt. 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered During the last 1,700 years, the Roman Catholic Church has put to death hundreds of thousands she believed to be heretics — Jews, dissident Catholics, Protestants, anabaptists, Hussites, Lollards, Waldenses, Albigenses and many others in distant lands who refused to convert to the ‘one true church.’ Today, the Roman Catholic Church calls people who hold these very same opinions ‘separated brethren’ and teaches it is wrong to persecute on the basis of religious belief.
