@H1storyMedia It's not enough that Simon was referred to as Cephas and Peter. If Jesus didn't mean it, why did the name stick. Boanerges (Son's of thunder) was a nick-name, PETER was a reassignment. Just like Paul.
Jesus said to Peter, "Get behind me Satan" but they didn't call him Satan.
@howertonjosh Scoffing attracts scoffers. It is low-brow convincing. It says, "If they hold it in contempt, so should I." But what is your argument? Levitical cleanness? I ate bacon this morning. You say "Idolatry" as the Chief Priest tore his robes and called Christ a blasphemer; Wrongly.
@BibleInContext1 Wounds are only healed through reconciliation. Wounds are not healed through escapism, finding the church that would never hurt you. You speak as one gravely hurt by the church, that's my read. Surrender to the sorrowful mysteries, cry with them, and be healed.
@renewingprotest If Peter can be called "Satan" and he wrote two books in your Bible... Your bible is from? ... Do you see your problem? You try to attack Rome and you destroy yourself.
@IntellectualFTW You are too concerned. Follow your heart and conscience. There is only one group of people that are going to be "Known" as something for every generation, that is Catholic saints. We need one like you, come on over. You will have a Billion fathers, mothers, sisters, & brothers.
@realtjhaines This is a type of respiration in the church, from casuists to whatever was going in the 1970s & 1980s. This is human nature. There were times where Israel abandoned everything for the "Feels," and other times, like when Christ ministered, that they were tightly wound moralists.
@Deep_biblestudy There is no salvation outside of the Mystical Body of Christ, which is the Church. "If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off..." Just like the when Jesus said he would rebuild the Temple, he was talking of his own body.
@drpepper Dr. Pepper... The only soda that constantly works as a bribe.
"Do you know why I pulled you over?"
"Dr. Pepper knows..."
"Alright, sir, slow down and have a good day.
"I'm telling mom!"
"Shut up, I'll buy you a Dr. Pepper."
"Alright."
@MJKelleyII You - I'll challenge any Roman Catholic to debate any topic so long as you accept my authority in interpreting scripture instead of yours.
Me - I believe in an Apostolic Church, you do not have magisterial authority.
You - "Man Made Traditions!" :::Angry face:::
