The quotes are selective.
How about the instruction to Peter: “Feeds My Lambs, Feed My Sheep”; “Thou Art Peter and Upon This Rock I Will Found My Church”; “Whatever You Bind On Earth Will Be Bound In Heaven and Whatever You Looseth On Earth, Will Be Loosened In Heaven”?
No institution on this planet has undergone the vigor of historical and intellectual inquiry as the Catholic Church for its validity as the “One, True, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church”
You cannot have (at last check) some over 20, 000 Christian denominations purporting to speak “The Truth”
I think, it would help if those who argue against the Church would first take the time to do some serious reading on the matter.
I think that is also what the Christian churches say, that is why Mormons have to be baptised into Christianity when they become Christians.
No ambiguity there.
From what I understand it is not just Christian churches who think this way. Jewish Orthodox and also Islam considers any church outside of the Catholic church non Christain. We are “the people of the Bible” refered to in the Koran.
Show me the links, primarily the Orthodox Jew links.
How come crazies get a free pass in our criminal justice system? This ghoul should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. We are being played by these lunatics
I have nothing against a crazy being cut some slack in something minor like theft or shoplifting. But for rape, murder, bodily injury assault they should be prosecuted same as others
No links just friends who are Orthodox Jew who read it to me from one of their books.
Then you don’t have a source, it is just something you posted anyway.
The NY Post had her story on the front page of Friday’s paper. They must have made a later edition because Letterman was on the cover of some of the NY editions.
It was just so ugly.
Your injection of Roman Catholicism has ruined this discussion. May your fervor for Christ match your apparent fervor for Rome.
The story was about a Mormon Priest that went wacky, Judaism, Catholicism, Protestantism and Islam all came into the thread.
The quotes are the truth, period. Also, Jesus was explaining to Peter that upon the rock (big rock) principle that He, Jesus, was the son of God, would the church be built. He called Peter "little rock" in the Greek and referred to the sonship concept with "big rock". The research shoe needs to be on the other foot. This is not my opinion, but factual understanding of what the scripture says.
The Catholic church as an institution has been found time after time to be involved in matters which have been and continue to be VERY unscriptural. That the Catholic church has been found to be intellectually and morally superior is merely your opinion. Don't let your opinions become facts.
Yes, so many denominations do not teach the truth. With that I will not argue. Even bodies of Christians which meet within the framework of my religious foundation too frequently stray from the truth. That certainly does not mean that all do. Scriptural foundation exists to show that each body of Christians meeting is autonomous and not part of a centralized heirarchy. This was deliberate to keep error from spreading throughout all groups meeting. It has worked to this day. Religious organizations with a centralized governing body spread falsehood to all the members of the religious organzation.
I'm still wondering how a man in his 50s can get four hard-ons a day.
Color me skeptical.
Hey now! You hurt Little Willie’s feelings. He says he’s up for it.
You don’t know much about male sexuality.
I know enough, and guys that age aren't like teenage boys who can go all the time and forever.
Some are when they have a mate that they are sexually attracted to.
A sexual habit of three or four times a day is not so unusual in a male in his fifties that has attractive sexual mates, where the data and myths come from is from marriage where the researchers ask how many times a month that a fifty five year old male has sex with his fifty year old wife or girlfriend that he has been with for ten or thirty years.
