@_Tony_Tonez_ So if it's not true, why push that claim? That's what I don't get. There's no "need" for the claim. There's no call for it in any scripture anywhere. There's no "I will literally pass my authority by word of mouth and secret handshake thru the generations like a baton in a relay
I’ve had 10,000 Christians tell me I’m not a Christian today.
And not one of them has invited me to their church.
You guys are terrible at missionary work.
@_Tony_Tonez_ That's completely unrelated to the question and not at all in dispute. You claim a direct unbroken line of authority passed from the literal apostles to each and every bishop today. That's not true. That one thing. That one thing I keep asking about. Just that one.
@RickAFranks You are a for real clown bot. The church records say that we have a church built where Christ was crucified and a church built where Peter died. Now that is continuity, bro.
@_Tony_Tonez_ own church records of the schism disprove it. You all just get angry. It's like you can't step back and go "well shit, all of this other stuff makes sense and checks out but this one part is wrong." Without thinking it's denying the entire thing and destroying the church.
@_Tony_Tonez_ your church. I'm asking about the one little thing that never made sense. That's it. But no one can ever answer it. I don't know why. You all just get angry and talk about 31 other things and no one will ever address the unbroken chain of authority claim. When I point out your
@_Tony_Tonez_ None of the other stuff you're saying about tradition or your heritage or a building or anything else has anything at all to do with what I am asking you. And I keep consistently asking the same thing over and over and you keep saying all sorts of disconnected and unrelated stuff
@_Tony_Tonez_ historical documents say there was no single leader in any of the Holy Sees for the first several hundred years and your own church documents the schism in which people were appointed by heretics but retained their positions as part of political negotiation. That's it. That's all
@_Tony_Tonez_ was a kid and no one has ever been able to answer it. Not nuns or priests or even Cardinal of the Philadelphia arch diocese Anthony Bevilacqua. Why not?
@_Tony_Tonez_ power and continued to serve as part of the political deal that ended the schism. That disproves the unbroken line. It's your own church's history. So why keep saying the unbroken line thing when your own records disprove it? That's all I want to know. Been asking this since I
@_Tony_Tonez_ no mention of it or call for it at all anywhere in the scripture. Your family tree has nothing to do with that. Nothing you have said has anything to do with that. Can you address the false claim and why you feel you need it? That's all this is. Over and over and over and you
@abcquertybro@HilltopAutoServ@FiredUpCoug@auroradelpia Bible, it's wrong. Period. End of Mormons. End of Catholics. End of denominations. If you have one single scrap of an idea you can't open the Bible and show me then you are wrong. Get thee behind me. This isn't any more complicated than YOU and every one else that belongs to any
