Catholics! Thanks for making my point.

So it appears that teaching error is ok with you; as long as Catholics do it.

The seven churches were Christian communities. Christians, ie. Catholic, they are one in the same. There were no baptists or penacostals around 2000 years ago. Have a nice day.

I know; and they were called out by GOD, thru an angelic messenger, using John the Revelator, to point out the ERRORs that your Catholic churches were teaching.

There were no baptists or penacostals (sic) around 2000 years ago.

HMMMmmm...

Acts 2:1-3, 41
1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them.

41 So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about 3,000 people were added to them.

On whose, what man or men's "Scriptural substantiation" that is, do you base your faith?

Mine is that of the NT church, whose basis was not that of the premise of ensured perpetual magisterial infallibility as per RCs, but instead the church actually began in dissent from those who sat in the seat of Moses over Israel, (Mt. 23:2) who were the historical instruments and stewards of Scripture. And followed an itinerant Preacher whom the magisterium rejected, and whom the Messiah reproved them Scripture as being supreme, (Mk. 7:2-16) and established His Truth claims upon scriptural substantiation in word and in power, as did the early church as it began upon this basis. (Mt. 22:23-45; Lk. 24:27,44; Jn. 5:36,39; Acts 2:14-35; 4:33; 5:12; 15:6-21;17:2,11; 18:28; 28:23; Rm. 15:19; 2Cor. 12:12, etc.)

The authority on which I base my faith is the authority of the Fathers, Doctors, Saints and Martyrs of the One, True, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church founded by Jesus Christ.

So the basis for your assurance of faith is the weight of evidence, and not what the magisterium says, which is just what evangelicals are condemned for doing.

Yet in reality, in Roman Catholicism, history, Tradition and Scripture only validly consist of and mean what she says they do.

John 6:40 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.

Do Catholics take this literally, too?

Do they become hungry and thirsty after eating Jesus? Why not take that literally as well?

Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus was resurrected in a NEW body, one that could pass through walls and appear and disappear at will.

No, He does not have the same flesh and blood body that He was born into.

So which body and blood are you eating then?

The new one doesn’t have blood and the old body’s blood was all poured out on the ground.
