My nieces and nephews stopped saying that in 4th grade.

Do they now say, "You are wrong."?

But Peter did get killed eventually --- he was executed in Rome.

Yes; all the Apostles died sooner or later.

So did Mary.

But not being an Adventist or a JW member, I wonder how this impacts the current discussion of the thread.

In a LOOOoooong thread like this; 'current' discussion is in flux a LOT!

Once again I have offered to give you the information via Freepmail if you cite a specific incident.

I am not going to let the truth be a springboard for prot rants, tantrums and hissy fits.

I'm confused at your reasoning here.

Why does the LOCATION of your information matter?

Cannot what you say PRIVATELY be discussed in the open forum?

What kind of TRUTH would cause a RANT?

Some here at FR--- I will mention no names -- seem to take it as axiomatic that if the Church wasn't commanded to do such-and-such in the NT, it ain't to be done; or if it was not at least exampled in Acts and the Epistles, it is not permissible.

My stand is close to the broad statement here.

Instead of 'ain't to be done' I say it's UNNECESSARY to be done.

Many Catholics on this thread (do we need to name them?) are adamant that if the Church says to do it; even if it is NOT found in Scripture; then by GOD! they NEED to be done.

Wise. Authoritative. Providential.

The Church.

I'm OK with that.



The Bereans were more noble than....

I am OK with that.

Then stop asking. You asked 3 times and I gave you an answer 3 times.

Your reluctance to answer has been noted.

Where is there an online doctrinal statement for your church that differentiates your assembly from the thousands of denominations, sects, and cults ?

I'm glad if you acknowledge Peter's designation at the word of our Lord. Peter exercised this leadership at the Council, in unity with the other Apostles (and those eligible to be Apostles). Peter had the power to bind and loose.

HMMMmmm...

What a GREAT fellow!!

Too bad he was CONDEMNED for his ACTIONS!


14 years!!


Galatians 2:1
Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas.


Galatians 2:11
But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

I already did. They didn't want people to read Scripture for themselves as it would expose that the emperor had no clothes and they would lose their power grab on the people.

You are wrong.

If it was true and scriptural you all wouldn't be afraid to post it on the open forum.

At least you are consistant with your double standard.

Metmom said: That was a direct word for word copy and paste of a response on the part of another FReeper. It was post 1883 by verga to mamab.?

Mine was a direct word for word copy and paste of a response on the part of another FReeper (mamaB) to me.

2+2=5 is not a sin, it is an error.

Say 5 Hail Marys and sin no more.

Are you saying the Catholic Church has strayed and is not true to the original teachings of the Apostles?

Only in practice.

Our DOCTRINE has remained pure as the driven snow!

Members of the Body of Christ are sinners.

Except Mary...

Neither is it ruled out in the Scriptures.

ALL have sinned and come short of the Glory...

The Catholic Church has declared the assumption is something its members must believe.

And if they DON'T???

Most of the assemblies had already strayed not 60 years after Christ's ascension.

Scripture shows us that Peter was in 'error' 14 years after the Holy Roman Church got started (in Jerusalem).

It's Catholics who tell us we must be "taught" because only their leaders can understand.
