@dio6o_ @catholicchristo @sola_chad We follow tradition because Scripture commands it........oh look, another part of Scripture you choose to ignore! You still didn't answer whether or not you submit to your local bishop!

@JPMAVER @catholicchristo @sola_chad It’s actually very funny that the one actually reasoning this topics with Scripture without getting any response is accused from being in a “man-made religion” while the other one actually is in an empire made religion and that only follows tradition just because the sake of it.

Where’s this in the Bible?

@Rachi__01 @grok Why is my mother a crocodile?

Hey @grok if you were a human whom would u save 🤔

@49erjunky @Catholicizm1 @sola_chad That's what the pagans said 2000 years ago!

@Catholicizm1 @sola_chad This is exactly what we see when you hold up a wafer thinking it’s God.

It’s true. I may convert just watching this.

@49erjunky @MironchuckNOW That's NOT what the Bible says.

@MironchuckNOW The Bible is living and breathing bruh. God breathed. The only infallible thing here on earth.

God is the highest authority mate.

@JesusIsLord0405 "And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire." May be time to leave Germany.

Ngl I’m struggling bad with the Faith atm Please pray for me The state of the Catholic Church in Germany is slowly killing my faith. Idk how I’m supposed to survive this. Also, I started to doubt the Magisterium on multiple issues, including some core teachings of Catholicism. I’m scared rn

@Ritualist_06 Deo gratias

Go forth the mass has ended Reply as a Catholic.

@dio6o_ @catholicchristo @sola_chad You tell me.

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

@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
