Primacy of Scripture, yes.
Sola Scriptura, no.
Jesus gave the keys to Peter to “build my church.” (a human church, not a divine one)
Peter became the first Pope. Peter was human, not divine. All churches are human not divine.
No other Christian church was started with the blessing of Jesus other than Peter’s.
And, it continues, uninterupted to this day.
Primacy of scripture. Yep, Catholics believe that.
The “sola scriptura” mantra, in my mind, is anti-Catholic discourse.
I’m happy to be a member of a church that goes back to the time of the Apostles.
Christ also called Peter Satan.
I’m happy to be a member of a church that goes back to the time of the Apostles.
As Irenaeus wrote:
For they [the Apostles] were desirous that these men should be very perfect and blameless in all things, whom also they were leaving behind as their successors, delivering up their own place of government to these men...
And as Augustine wrote:
The authority of these books has come down to us from the apostles through the successions of bishops and the extension of the Church...
This totalitarian pagan-Christian thing called the RCC, masquerading as the original church, is one of the biggest hoaxes in all of history, a bigger hoax than even Mormonism.
Their origin is not the 1st century, one has to be blind not to see that the church in the Bible, in the book of Acts, bears no resemblance whatsoever to this thing called the RCC. It arose centuries later, under the auspices of the Roman emperor Constantine.
It hijacks the prerogatives that belong only to the true catholic church, the one you see in the book of Acts. A fraud plain and simple.
Jesus told Peter to 'feed my sheep'. Jesus gave the 'keys' to the Kingdom (not the church and not the institution of catholicism) to Peter and we see clear evidence IN SCRIPTURE of Peter using those keys to open the door/gate to Justification, first to the Jews on Pentecost, then to the Gentiles in the house of Cornelius.
Jesus, via The Holy Spirit, builds His own Church, and it is not an institution named catholicism.
