papa, you are doing it again. you pick one line of the bible and think it negates all of church history.
you know as well as i do that isnt how christianity works.
you know as well as i do that you are ignoring the historical church that Christ said the very gates of hell would not prevail against.
the devil himself can quote the bible too, but that means little.
it comes down to what what done in the past when the apostles appointed their successors, who were these men, what did the do, what did they teach, and for whom did the teach?
if you wish to ignore that, and just quote another bible verse, then you are willfully missing the point, instead of discussing what im saying.
You have a problem quoting the Bible? How did Jesus deal with the Devil and the Pharisees? He quoted the Bible. You seem quite uninterested in discussing your ideas on the basis of scripture, only on the basis of historical tradition - again, just like the Jews of old.
