@Fr_RonPG @KatjaThePapist What if one were to say that calling Matt 16 a "name change" is shorthand for Jesus not just introducing the name there, but solemnly affirming its meaning—linking "Peter" (Kepha/rock) to his mission and the foundation of the Church. (looks like John 1:42 foretells it).

@DrewPavlou Lovely place. Almost lost my life at gun point there.

@IndianaBrunner DNA can be understood with human reasoning and research. Inspiration is an interior, silent operation of the Holy Spirit inside the mind and soul of an author. This supernatural reality, it is a mystery that can only be known with certainty if God Himself reveals it.

@potamopotos So deeply sorry for your loss. Lord Jesus Christ, please comfort their family with your never ending love.

@emuse1955 Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

FWIW, the most impressive and spectacular miracle of them all is the character and evangelical message of Jesus Christ. I have never come across a portrayal of any person, real or imagined, that is as evocative and reassuring as the way Our Lord is portrayed in the Holy Gospels. That was what drew me to Christianity before I investigated any modern miracle.

I sincerely believe that God is calling me to proclaim the truth about the mighty deeds He has worked to confirm the authority of the holy Catholic Church. I think that has already born fruit (though my moral and intellectual feebleness have gotten in the way).

However, I do not want my emphasis on modern miracles to distract or to detract from the most attractive thing that Catholicism has to offer - Jesus Christ and what He did for us on Good Friday - of all his mighty deeds, none was more considerable than Calvary.

@realmikolson 1Cor4 at best can support the authority and normativity of Scripture, but its immediate subject is not the sufficiency of Scripture as the sole rule of faith but the Corinthians’ pride and factionalism.

[The_Refusenik @jleroux007]

@GrZmNkY09 @EcclesiaAntiqua @IndianaBrunner There was zero assumptions or implications, but just a simple question. Assume I am seeking to locate who this church was that was led into all truth post the apostles, who were they?

@LBurns1562324 @NateBornAgain Only Divine Grace can heal these wounds.

@GrZmNkY09 @EcclesiaAntiqua @IndianaBrunner If they were lead to a false Jesus almost immediately, for that is when the Church started, then who is it that received the promise of John 16.13 and where these people during that time?

[The_Refusenik @jleroux007]

@WretchedNetwork Inspiration is an act of God that cannot be seen, touched, or measured.

[The_Refusenik @jleroux007]

@NateBornAgain O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy. Amen.

@Pearlywhitfs27 @CapturingChrist @RuslanKD Can you be a little more precise? How was it infallibly defined and when according to the conf protestant tradition?

[The_Refusenik @jleroux007]

@Pearlywhitfs27 @CapturingChrist @RuslanKD Sorry missed the reply. When was the NT infallibly defined according to conf protestants?

[The_Refusenik @jleroux007]

@IntegritySy Inspiration is an act of God that cannot be seen, touched, or measured. Since the list of books is a supernatural fact, it can only be known by Divine Faith. But for Divine Faith to happen, there must be a revelation to believe in. Where did you get your revelation from?

[The_Refusenik @jleroux007]

@Pearlywhitfs27 @CapturingChrist @RuslanKD How would it work for the Deuterocanon? Would the conf prots say that the Holy Spirit guided for the NT but not the OT?
