Mr Pope left out someone: Mary isn’t mentioned at all in that early church history lesson.

What does that mean? She's there from the beginning of Luke 1. She's there with the Apostles on the day of Pentecost.

She wasn't at the Council of Jerusalem. So what? She was neither a bishop nor an apostle. The Council is believed to have been around AD 50; Mary may not have even been alive on earth at that point. What are you trying to say?

There wasn’t a mention of any women at that meeting. It was Apostles, elders, presbyters, men, brothers, brethren, etc.

What does that mean? It means none sought out Mary's input on the issues at hand.

None prayed to her.

None had to get her ok on what was decided by the Council.

There's a HUGE lesson in this for the Roman Catholic IF they're paying attention.

“Therefore it is my judgment that we do not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles. Acts 15:19 NASB

James's decision....not Peter's.

James was running this Council....not Peter.

Another lesson for the Roman Catholic IF they're paying attention.

James was the first pope? He had the Final decision at that Council meeting, not Peter.

There was no office of the papacy. That’s what our Roman friends are missing.

The whole basis is built on a lie. James was in charge of the Council. Not Peter. That changes EVERYTHING, you would think. The Scriptures say what they say. Rather we like it or not. THIS is why traditions and doctrines of men are necessary: to change the TRUTH into a LIE.

There weren’t any protestants at the Council. There’s a HUGE lessin in this for protestants IF they’re paying attention.

There's only one denomination mentioned in the New Testament if you want to play that game.

I'll see if you can find it.

HINT: it isn't Roman Catholicism.

Much of Roman Catholicism is built on error due to their elevation of "tradition" to equal, or in some cases, trump Scripture.

That Mary was not consulted at this Council should be an eye opener for the RCs.

Yep. It should be a light bulb moment. But they cannot see the light. They’re too busy lighting candles and praying to Mary. And thousands of dead people.

Always find it interesting that these other documents that are appealed to were never included in the canon of Scripture.

The Didache has many conflicting errors with the NT when one compares it to the NT.

Paraphrased “No man should call another Father, but Father God who is in Heaven” maybe badly paraphrased. The act of placing a man you call father, between you and THE Father of us all is blasphemy. Now we have one intercessor between mankind and Father God, his name is Yeshua Messiah, Jesus the Christ. THERE IS NO OTHER. Come out of the false religion you beautiful, and religious Catholics. Come to the freedom from rules of man, into the rules written in Red.

Just because she isn't mentioned it doesn't mean that she was absent.

===============================

John 21:25 Jesus and the Beloved Apostle 25There are many more things that Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have space for the books that would be written.

John 20:30,31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: …

===============================
The Bible wasn't written as a HISTORY BOOK so one simply cannot treat it as such.
It was/is the Word of God. God told us how to live.

===============================

The THREE PILLARS OF THE CHURCH AUTHORITY:
1. Sacred Scripture
2. Sacred Tradition
3. Living Magesterium

===============================
If you are Protestant then you might not believe in any of what I wrote.

You’re telling us that MARY, the RCC “CO-REDEMPTRESS, THE QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE(acc.to the RCC), THE “THROAT BETWEEN THE BODY AND THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH the BODY OF CHRIST(acc.to RCC) could have been there and just not mentioned?!?!!

This tops the pile of ridiculous excuses that the RCC has foisted on gullible, too lazy to look for the truth members.
