@DanMalwitz @JamesCarne49587 Nope think church structure

@XKecharitomene @JamesCarne49587 The New Testament teaches that all believers are priests.

My brother’s dad just died. He wasn’t a believer in Christ. How do I pray for someone who has passed but didn’t know Christ?

@timotheeology define intelligence !

I don't know anyone who is intelligent and believes in Darwin. The more I review the common threads in "4 horsemen atheist" debates of the previous decades, the more I realize how much they laundered young-Earth theory into all denials of Darwinism. Since there is so MUCH evidence for an old earth (radiometric dating, stratigraphy, ice cores, plate tectonics, sedimentation patterns, tree rings, coral growth bands, and independently corroborative dating from nuclear physics, astronomy, chemistry, sedimentology, glaciology, paleontology) and literally ZERO evidence for a Darwinist origin of life/species, I can only assume that this was a psyop, especially by Richard Dawkins, who most aggressively and baselessly coupled these two unrelated assumptions.

@VibesAlive85 @NoahsArk1000 Why are you talking about Jacob ?

@XKecharitomene @NoahsArk1000 What’s the time of Jacob’s trouble?

No, not God. you people!!

@VibesAlive85 @NoahsArk1000 Yes, why don’t you ask somebody from the clergy You found my answer lacking, correct ?

@XKecharitomene @NoahsArk1000 Are you not a member of the rcc?

@XKecharitomene @NoahsArk1000 Jerusalem isn’t Israel? Deut 4:30 is talking about the rcc?

@VibesAlive85 @NoahsArk1000 notice “goyim” ?

@XKecharitomene @NoahsArk1000 I did. Turns out God never broke his covenant and never will. “God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew”(Rom11:2).

@VibesAlive85 @NoahsArk1000 ask the church Petros

@XKecharitomene @NoahsArk1000 What’s the answer? 30 used tampons?

@VibesAlive85 @NoahsArk1000 Study that phrase with Abraham, look at the words and what they mean in the Hebrew

@XKecharitomene @NoahsArk1000 Where in the Bible does God lie and break his covenant?

@VibesAlive85 @NoahsArk1000 this is why you need to “listen to the church” “the pillar and foundation of all truth” Don’t cut off your hand or gouge out to your eye pls

@XKecharitomene @NoahsArk1000 Your best works is worth a used tampon to God (Isa64:6). Does the Bible list how many used tampons it would take for God to accept you into heaven with your bloody tampon tokens?

@timotheeology @JendersII He’s a joke 🙏

If you haven't seen my debate-ending video obliterating the legitimacy of Wes Huff's 6 points of anti-Catholicism, here it is: m.youtube.com/watch?v=9RwzVy…

@needGod_net Oh boy, Protestant level Sorry, purgatory awaits

Believing that your works play a part in getting you to heaven is to say that what Jesus did on the cross was not enough.

@VibesAlive85 @NoahsArk1000 good works, obviously

@XKecharitomene @NoahsArk1000 The law was given to reveal sin, it wasn’t a cure for it (Gal 3:22-24,Rom 7:7-13,1Tim1:8-11). What else do you believe we need besides grace through faith for salvation?

@VibesAlive85 @NoahsArk1000 Goyim

@XKecharitomene @NoahsArk1000 The Abrahamic Covenant is marginal to you?

@Jennifer376061 @BillArnoldTeach “YOU” John 20:23

@BillArnoldTeach It seems a matter of difference in interpretation. Disciples vs. Apostles. Spreading the Gospel vs. Ultimate Judgment, etc. Certainly, more factions among believers. What is the correct interpretation of John 20:23? | GotQuestions.org share.google/UP8eRj1nfbzs0v…

Only one Church was given authority to forgive your sins. It was not Protestantism.

@jfgrohs @BillArnoldTeach John 20:23

@BillArnoldTeach He gave it to Peter. He didnt tell him to pass it on.

@loe2316 @BillArnoldTeach @Chunky_Moes Read the verse again. It was given to Our Lord’s church Notice the word: “YOU”

@BillArnoldTeach @Chunky_Moes The disciples are not given divine power to independently grant or deny salvation. They acted as a witness declaring that sins are forgiven for those who repent and believe in the Gospel. Its a warning to people who reject Christ. No one gets to the Father except through Jesus.

@DrShayPhD You know

They are delusional. I asked him for his exegesis of John 20:23. I asked for cross references and a real breakdown of the key words. So far, crickets. The Bible never says Jesus gave the apostles personal power to forgive sins. It says He sent them to preach forgiveness through the gospel. Grown men and women do not understand that a mailman can deliver the pardon. That does not mean he is the governor.

@Jason_Vonderau @MartinP49146517 @johnny_jesters1 @BibleInContext1 No they don’t

Scholars interpret Matthew 16's "This rock" as Peter's confession of faith in Christ (or Christ himself), not Peter personally as the foundation for a monarchical papacy. The "keys" power is later extended to all apostles (Matthew 18:18; John 20:23). Peter was a leader among the apostles (prominent in Acts), but the NT shows shared leadership: the Jerusalem church under James (Jesus' brother), Paul rebuking Peter (Galatians 2:11-14), and no evidence of Peter exercising universal jurisdiction as a "pope." Early church structure was more collegial (elders/bishops/presbyters often interchangeable in the NT) than a single bishop of Rome ruling all. The monarchical episcopate developed gradually in the 2nd century, not instantly in 33 AD. Claims of Peter as "first pope" and immediate successors rely on later lists, not contemporary records. Paul’s letter to Rome (mid-50s AD) greets many but never mentions Peter as leader there. The early church was the one catholic (universal) church in the sense of orthodox believers, but it wasn't the Roman Catholic Church with its later doctrines, hierarchy, and practices (e.g., developed papacy, transubstantiation as defined, mandatory celibacy, etc.). The list of first 35 popes matches traditional Catholic catalogs (e.g., from the Liber Pontificalis, a 6th-century compilation with legendary elements). Historical reliability is low for the earliest ones. Chronology is disputed; the first "certain" dates start around Urban I (222 AD) or so. Early lists combined traditions and had gaps/contradictions. Many details (names, exact tenures) come from centuries later. Many early bishops of Rome likely died for the faith. But "31 of 35" is traditional piety, not rigorous history. Sources for many are late and hagiographic; not all deaths are well-documented as martyrdom vs. natural causes or other. The Liber Pontificalis retroactively sainted and martyred most. This doesn't prove a papal office with supreme authority from day one. Bishops of Rome gained prominence due to Rome's imperial status, not automatic divine right. Other sees (Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem) had strong claims too. "The Catholic Church canonized the Bible at the Council of Rome in 382 AD" is overstated. There was a synod in Rome under Damasus I in 382. A list of canonical books (matching the later Catholic canon, including deuterocanonicals) appears in the Decretum Gelasianum, often linked to it, but scholars debate if this exact decree came from 382 or later (possibly edited by Gelasius ~494 AD). It was a local Roman synod, not an ecumenical council binding the whole church. The broader process: NT books were widely recognized earlier (e.g., Muratorian Fragment ~170–200 AD). Key affirmations came at local North African councils (Hippo 393, Carthage 397), ratified later. The canon was discerned by the church over time based on apostolic origin, orthodoxy, and use, not "created" by one pope or council in 382. Protestants accept the same 27 NT books; differences are mainly on the Old Testament deuterocanonicals (which some early fathers also questioned). The Bible isn't a "Catholic book" owned exclusively by Rome. it's the church's (universal) book, with the canon reflecting broad early consensus. Early Christians didn't have a closed "Bible" for centuries; they used Septuagint OT + circulating apostolic writings. The early church was not identical to modern Roman Catholicism. Doctrines like papal infallibility (defined 1870), Immaculate Conception (1854), purgatory, indulgences, and transubstantiation (formalized at Lateran IV 1215, nuanced at Trent) developed over time. The precise Aristotelian metaphysics of "real presence" came later. Sola Scriptura and justification by faith emphasize returning to apostolic teaching (the "apostolic succession of doctrine," not just office). The Reformation recovered biblical priorities amid medieval corruptions (e.g., indulgences, simony).

If they’ll lie about Ignatius of Antioch, they’ll lie about anything!

@BarnCat296656 @DrShayPhD Sacrament of confession and reconciliation

@DrShayPhD You can't just use one verse to contradict another verse. What does this mean? John 20:23 If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, there are not forgiven.

Catholics: John 20:23 says the apostles can forgive sins. The Bible: “Who can forgive sins but God alone?” Mark 2:7.

@PonderHart @PastorAwes John 20:23: “YOU”

“Catholic doctrine makes no sense” is easy to say until you realize most of it comes directly from Scripture itself. Confession? “Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them.” John 20:23 The Eucharist? “This is my body.” Luke 22:19 Baptism saves? “Baptism… now saves you.” 1 Peter 3:21 Faith and works together? “A person is justified by works and not by faith alone.” James 2:24 Church authority? “The church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth.” 1 Timothy 3:15 You may disagree with Catholic doctrine, but pretending it came out of nowhere ignores the actual text of Scripture.

Catholic doctrine makes no sense!

@havoc_211 @HabitualLinest Someone hasn’t read John 20:23

@HabitualLinest The apostles directed Christians to confess to one another and to God. Not to a priest. Christianity doesn't even have an office of priesthood to confess to a priest. And it never heard of confessionals.

1. It is in fact, NOT EASY, to confess your sins to a priest. Whoever told you it was, was lying to you 2. I really really really doubt you've actually done this confession you claim more than a handful of times. You certainly have not confessed thousands of times for the thousands of sins you've committed sins against others. Funny how the sacrament of Confession that Jesus set up works better than your way of doing things
