Ridiculous debate.Yes. Peter and Paul found the Roman Church. Thomas went to India, among others.
How so?Ridiculous debate.
Peter and Paul were equal. Maybe God gave paul the keys as well. It's absurd to suggest that one apostles is in charge.How so?
Alas, they all have sinful humans as members.There is no head church and all the ones I've seen have flaws.
All of the Apostles had Christ's full authority to bind and loose, and they passed on that authority to those they established as leaders in the Churches they planted, and those leaders passed on that authority to their successors..Peter and Paul were equal. Maybe God gave paul the keys as well. It's absurd to suggest that one apostles is in charge.
With respect it sounds like fantasy.and those leaders passed on that authority to their successors..
I'm referring to the leadership of these churches. They seem blindAlas, they all have sinful humans as members.
So? I don’t see that as a problem.Must have been interesting considering that they had differing views.
No. The church doesn’t teach thatIf the Pope is leader of the church then my church must he false because my church isn't the true one. Poor me? Nope. I'm full of the Spirit
It should considering that is was differing views of the teachings of Jesus and essentially Jesus Himself. He is the head of His church, not any of man's.So? I don’t see that as a problem.
But I thought the pope was the leader of the church? I thought the catholic church is the original church.No. The church doesn’t teach that
I doubt I would agree with your interpretation of that scriptureIt's not, read 1 and 2 Timothy, as well as Titus.
In my humble opinion the Catholic church does too many wrong things to be true apostles and they don't bear the marks of an apostle anywayIt's not, read 1 and 2 Timothy, as well as Titus.
Neither @jas3 nor myself are Catholic. We are certainly not defending the Papacy.In my humble opinion the Catholic church does too many wrong things to be true apostles and they don't bear the marks of an apostle anyway
