Pure fable. Alice in Wonderland makes more sense, truly.
'Pontiff', a name that is due to Christ only. A title inherited from the likes of Julius Caesar, avaricious warmonger and despot.Various denominations accept the Pope's authority in a variety of ways, as well as the Traditions of the Church (obviously), as well as accepting the authority of priests and bishops to some extent as well. I would venture to guess that some are even in discrete communion with the Church. I would reccomend that such person and organization pay tribute to the Pontiff, to cover an array of trespasses, in whatever capacity that they prudently can.
Was that really for his benefit or yours? Since, it contributed nothing of substance to the topic, it was clearly a "smarmy comment" made to make yourself feel better.For your benefit: "Jesus Christ" is a two letter response.
Really? Can you give us some examples?Judging by what I see on Christian Forums, I'd disagree.
At least he didn't bore us with the tedious repetition of the list we've seen time and again.If proffering a retrospective list of names makes for compelling evidence of Petrine succession, one would have to be very new.
It's alright racer... it was funny.Was that really for his benefit or yours? Since, it contributed nothing of substance to the topic, it was clearly a "smarmy comment" made to make yourself feel better.
Considering the flack the SS people are getting in the SS thread, you guys are a little sensitive aren't you?
Lucky I posted, then.
Sorry, but the spirit compels me..........'Pontiff', a name that is due to Christ only. A title inherited from the likes of Julius Caesar, avaricious warmonger and despot.
Has very much changed?
Ever hear the cliche' what's good for the goose is good for the gander? (Or vice versa if you like)Just because the thread author is biased with a grudge to gripe over, and just because she claims the answer is not sufficient, does not mean the answer is not sufficient.
People can try and set up a scenario which pleases their particular myopia, but it doesn't mean their word is gospel, nor that their direction of discussion must be followed in lock-step..
The devil, according to the Bible.
Trento, if drastic chastisements fell from heaven on the decieved or resistors, why then, do no such chastisements fall on us protestants?
2. I don't think this is an appropriate forum...
I use to have just one person on ignore but then I couldn't read what he was saying so I took that poster off ity'know, I'd rather if CF let you know who had you on ignore. Then you wouldn't wonder why so many posts go unadressed.
back to topic.
At least he didn't bore us with the tedious repetition of the list we've seen time and again.
My wording may have been faulty, but if you reread the post, you'll see that I did not assume you were playing a fool, I wondered if your were "innocently playing ignorant." The use of the word "fools" in my post could have been replace with "tricks/deceives." So, after you've so grossly misunderstood my comment, I am inclined to believe you actually may not get the gist of what Josiah is saying. Forgive me.Thanks for assuming that I might be playing a fool. Incorrect, but charitable.
I'm going to ask you a yes or no question--really simple--yes or no--okay? Do you really believe that Josiah is running a smear campaign against the Orthodox and Catholics?I guess I really don't get the gist. He must have mentioned RC and LDS in the same sentence about 100 times in the SS thread. Best I can tell it's either a kind of smear tactic, or he believes that the fact that they both claim authority means that both claims are equally invalid. No?
That was unexpected. You are quite learned of the Scriptures.Sorry, but the spirit compels me..........

16 And he shall do the one coming to him as pleases of him and is no one standing to faces of him and he shall stand in land of the stateliness and finish in hand of him.

Well, if you feel you can't respond, don't feel obligated to try. But, okay, then, if Jesus Christ is the answer, can you tell me how you know that Jesus gave this authority to the churches I mentioned.I can't address the OP, because the OP excludes the only answer - Jesus Christ. What other possible authority could any church which calls itself Christian have?
Gwenyfur,If I might suggest, that if you truly have a wish to know more about Orthodoxy, let me suggest the following books
