@dio6o_ @catholicchristo @sola_chad You tell me.

@JPMAVER @catholicchristo @sola_chad What’s the answer lol?

Where’s this in the Bible?

@dio6o_ @catholicchristo @sola_chad Because I already know the answer. You only pick and choose which parts of the Bible you follow to fit your little man-made religion...which is NOT Christianity!

@JPMAVER @catholicchristo @sola_chad That’s none of your concern

@dio6o_ @catholicchristo @sola_chad So, do you submit to your local shepherds AKA bishops?

@JPMAVER @catholicchristo @sola_chad Yes, the Bible mentions overseers/bishops but not in the way the Catholic church sees it. In the New Testament, “bishops” and “elders” are local shepherds (Acts 20:17,28; Titus 1:5-7). They appear always in plural in each “ekklesia”, not one superior bishop over many churches.

@dio6o_ @catholicchristo @sola_chad Peter WAS the first pope...but that is irrelevant. The Church as shown in the Bible had bishops. Do you submit to the authority of your bishop?

@JPMAVER @catholicchristo @sola_chad The “ekklesia” afterwards was guided by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem, not Rome. (Acts 15:2,6; 22-29; 16:4) Christ remained the head (Ephesians 5:3) and Peter was not the first Pope. (1 Peter 5:1-3; Acts 15; Galatians 2:11; Revelation 21:14)

@BillOReilly Why is Bill speaking in the third person?

Bill is safe.  He reported hearing an “echo of gunfire” at the White House Correspondents Dinner, but he and others are safe.

@dio6o_ @catholicchristo @sola_chad Jesus DID found a formal institution with governing authority. Is is clearly shown in the Bible.

@JPMAVER @catholicchristo @sola_chad Incorrect Jesus did not founded a formal institution with governing authority like your tradition teaches. It progressed over time. Post-ressurection. Me actually citing the Bible will always be more accurate than “no, no, I’m Mr. James P. Maver and it is because I say so”.

@dio6o_ @catholicchristo @sola_chad Yes, the Greek work ecclesia means "church." And THAT is what Jesus founded, not a movement, not some me and my Bible BS, but a Church. A church with organization, leadership and Authority given to the men governing it.

@JPMAVER @catholicchristo @sola_chad If you mean an institutional church, no. If you mean church, as in the original greek word “ecclesia” that means simply a group of people called out for a particular purpose, yes. And that movement is called Christianity.

@dio6o_ @catholicchristo @sola_chad Did Jesus found a Church, yes or no?

@JPMAVER @catholicchristo @sola_chad Your only basis for “Jesus founded the Catholic church” is based off a complete misinterpretation of the text. Even Peter himself said who the rock was: “To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious” - 2 Peter 2:4

@dio6o_ @catholicchristo @sola_chad Typical Prot. nonsense deflection. The topic is, whether Jesus founded a Church or not. Go have your secondary unrelated debate with someone else!

@JPMAVER @catholicchristo @sola_chad The rock is Christ himself. 1 Corinthians 3:11: “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 2:20: “and you have been built up on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, while Christ Jesus himself is the foundation cornerstone”

@dio6o_ @catholicchristo @sola_chad Peter...and EVERY Christian knew that before your ridiculous modern man-made religion was invented to tear down Christ's Church!

@JPMAVER @catholicchristo @sola_chad Who’s the rock?

@dio6o_ @catholicchristo @sola_chad "And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Matthew 16:18

@JPMAVER @catholicchristo @sola_chad If you know the Bible so much maybe you should send the verse where it says that Jesus founded the catholic church

Who else should join the evil gang?

@dio6o_ @catholicchristo @sola_chad Jesus founded a Church!!! You should read the Bible some time!

@JPMAVER @catholicchristo @sola_chad Jesus Christ founded Christianity. The Catholic Church was "founded" progressively between years and years of councils.

@DoryCan2 @sola_chad I know my history. Would you like a lesson?

@JPMAVER @sola_chad 😂 learn some history

@dio6o_ @catholicchristo @sola_chad What did you drop out of kindergarten? The Catholic Church was founded in 33AD by Jesus Christ. Go educate yourself before you make a fool of yourself on the internets!

@JPMAVER @catholicchristo @sola_chad There is no such thing as Catholic Church before the second century AC.

@LibertyCappy If your mom is Dutch AND your dad is Dutch, that makes you double Dutch!

Do you have Dutch ancestry?

@dio6o_ @catholicchristo @sola_chad Exactly, written AND compiled by the Catholic Church!

@catholicchristo @sola_chad Yeah right….The septuagint was around between the 3rd and first centuries a.c and the most of the New Testament was already compiled by 100 d.c.

@Goatovic24 @sola_chad That's not what idolatry is.

@sola_chad . Mary would be very very sad if she knew that there are a bunch of people practicing idolatry by trying to pray to her 🧏🏻‍♂️ .

@DoryCan2 @sola_chad The Catholic Church WROTE the Bible.

@sola_chad It’s not but Catholics don’t own a a Bible much less read it.

@texaspamy @sola_chad Your false religion bears NO resemblance to true Christianity.

@sola_chad This claim is categorically false. Mary is not an intercessor. Only Satan would come up with this kind of garbage. Catholicism is the devils counterfeit to true Christianity.
