THE IDEA OF A POPE IS BASED ON A FALSE INTERPRETATION OF SCRIPTURE, THAT JESUS WANTED TO BUILD HIS CHURCH ON PETER, INSTEAD OF HIMSELF. WHY WOULD JESUS BUILD HIS CHURCH ON A SINFUL MAN?

Did you read “as a guide”.
Ok, you want everyone to be Catholic, I said people were catholic, and they called themselves Christians.
Are you from a different COUNTRY??? What are you talking about??/ What “as a guide” do you mean??
When was the KJB written?
And why are you yelling about everything?
Again catholic small c, instead of capitol C.
You win, I know longer know what you are yelling about.
IF, as a Christian, you don’t say ‘The Lord’s Prayer”, then you aren’t following what Christ wanted you to do. It’s in the BIBLE, even yours!!!
I rail against stupidity. Can’t help it....I always thought Freepers were smart....not so much anymore.
KGB is your Bible...you tell ME when it was written.....can you??? Probably not....sad.
Then stop replying to me - k?
For reasons I do not understand you appear to be one really angry catholic. sorry about that.
KJB was written in 1607-1610.....Henry the 8th started the Church of England in 1537.....before that he was Catholic....as everyone else was that was a Christian.<P.Is it against some kind of Protestant LAW that you can’t go back and look at your HISTORY?? You might be GOBSMACKED!!
And you said that all Christians were called catholic until it was written and I said oh ana-Baptist and you replied they started in 1511. Just saying.
I am sorry...I get really angry with stupid Freepers that know nothing and pretend they know everything and add NOTHING....NIL...Zippo to any religious thread.<p, I won’t embarrass you anymore by asking you any questions..k?? geesh.
If you were asking questions that would be one thing, you are making statements which you put a ? at the end, sorry that does not a question make.
Ask me a question with out screaming, and I will answer it.
See that’s how conversions go, you talk I talk you talk I talk.....

First of all, I never said anything in opposition to the idea of Christ loving all. Second, I responded twice to YOUR post by saying Christ loves the Church and one of those times was simply restating what I had previously said as an example of simple truth. So what?
“So let me phrase it this way, does Christ love all or just Catholics.”
Is that a question? Where’s the question mark? I never gainsaid what you posted about Christ’s love for all. My point is that Christ’s Church is the Catholic Church and He loves it. That in no way goes against the idea of Christ loving everyone. Christ loves everyone. He just has one Church - the Catholic Church - and He loves it.
Oh ok, and here all this time I thought Christ’s Church was the Body of Christ, His bride.
It is. Remember, the New Testament was inspired and written with orthodox believers in view, not latter day holders to heresies and novelities. New religions, founded only 400 some years ago, or last week for that matter, and their believers are not in the Church although they might be imperfectly connected with it.
So, going by your statement, who is in this church?
I personally do not belong to a religion, I do whoever belong to the Body Of Christ.

Those who are baptized - as commanded by Christ and the Apostles - are those in the Church. Many are validly baptized, but later reject the teachings of Christ and choose novelties over that which Christ and the Church have always taught.
“I personally do not belong to a religion, I do whoever belong to the Body Of Christ.”
I have no reason to take your claim seriously. If you have no religion, then you cannot be a Christian since Christianity is a religion. You also cannot be a member of the Body of Christ if you are not a Christian. I suggest that you use standard Christian terms in the standard Christian way if you’re going to discuss standard Christian topics.
I am a Christian, a member of the Body of Christ, it is simple.
I am sorry you do not understand that.
